That's a big bet on the RAM modules. If LPCAMM2 doesn't take off, one of the most likely upgrade paths is going to be a lot more expensive.

I'm not usually one to carry the anti-billionaire pitchfork, but the blind spot that people have towards Gabe's vast wealth irks me. He's arguably done less for humanity than a number of other billionaires that receive utter vitriol, but somehow he flies under the radar. The guy's super yacht wasn't big enough, so he bought a second, bigger yacht, and refitted the smaller one to be the support vessel.

At the moment?

I'm not searching the sky for a reason to live 'Cause I found beauty right here and found the passion to give So let me give you my heart, let me give you my tears Let me give you my life, let me give you my fears

I've always interpreted it as someone finding an alternative to suicide, by helping those around them.

There's tech, and then there's electronic tech. I'm sure the filter paper is waaaaay more high tech than the kettle. Seriously, check out the engineering that goes into filter mediums, it's insane.

It always tickles me when I come across people with enough comms etiquette to not say "Go" unless they are giving a cue. "I'll wait for you to say G. O. before I do anything"

I do almost exactly this, but with random digits.

"Eight... Five... Nine!."

It shows that the language matters less than the delivery.

What are ya, a shill for the toy synthesizer companies?!?! They just want to take jobs away from us hard working tuba players!!n

We're probably thinking about very different work environments.

Redundancy is more about not having a single point of failure. If you have a need for a redundant system, having a single point of failure in the KVM means you no longer have cc a redundant system.

For me, I find it simpler having a dedicated keyboard and mouse per computer, mainly to avoid the mad wiggle of the mouse to find the cursor, and then wiggle again because you found the cursor but it's not moving, has it crashed? Oh that's right, I'm using a KVM, and I'm controlling the computer that's over there. With dedicated keyboard and mouse, it's always obvious which machine I'll be controlling. And yeah, I meant slower to switch. You need to move your hand off the keyboard to press the button, then move your hands back, usually having a slightly awkward pause when it takes a moment to register the switch. With dedicated keyboards, you move your hands once, done.

And I can think of plenty of scenarios where you want to do an action at the same time on two machines. Want to compare two copies of a document across the two machines? Left hand on page down for one machine, right on the other. Trying to test a bug that mucks up the timing of a jump in a game on one system but not the other? Spacebar at the same time. Going through the same install process simultaneously on 4 machines? It either takes four key presses on different keyboards to select an option, or four key presses and four KVM button presses.

For a lot of stuff, KVM is the way to go, especially if you tend to just do a bunch of stuff on one machine, then do a bunch of stuff on another. For a lot of situations though, such as if you're having to only do occasional stuff, or doing lots of small things on different machines, it's not the way to go.

I did not expect to be writing such a detailed essay on such a trivial thing today, so thanks for coming to my TED talk!

That's on me for not reading. Thanks. I gotta learn that pre coffee commenting should be double checked.

I sometimes have to get involved with writing safety protocols. Not my favourite task, but I've always been super nervous about using AI to assist because it's such a specific, rigid and important thing, that needs to be expressed as simply as possible, all of which AI is bad at. Care to share how you use it?

There's plenty of good reasons. Redundancy, simplicity, speed, physical context switching...

When goslings grow their adult feathers, leaving their baby down behind, people disguised as rocks very slowly approach the nest, picking individual fluffs of down one by one, while making soothing noises.
