If you're like me and press up to run a previous command from history, you're definitely toasting your system eventually accidentally

My Jeep has needed thousands of dollars of repairs in the last year alone.

And, I gave a trailseeker a go a week ago, and it's a much better car than a lot of the hybrid and ice cars I tested

Seen lots of issues with other jeeps and even ford Rangers too. ICE is hot garbage.

The crazy part is that ice manufacturers aren't doing ota updates, and a lot of cars can be stolen in a few seconds because they aren't fixing major vulnerabilities these updates could bring.. But people like yourself probably just blame the government because the manufacturers aren't fixing the bugs anymore. Whereas, OTA is common on EVs.

Also ICE, generally can't (ironically) do things like de-ice in the morning before you start the car and heat ice cars in advance too in the morning. Not unless you want a flat battery or a garage full of Carbon monoxide

  1. Your post is just year of the Linux. No desktop mention
  2. FreeBSD has issues with even basic things like Audio compatibility at the moment: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Tragic-FreeBSD-Audio-Support . For a guy who argues linux sucks at games, you sure seem okay with being unable to play them on FreeBSD lol
  3. Busy polling affects Low-latency, high-traffic Datacentres ONLY (not even VPS or shared servers). It works by using 100% CPU the entire time. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43749271 . Wall street I'm sure will be happy they can improve their latency by 1ns on trades (and I assume some caching servers).
  4. Linux does not expect ECC memory any more or less than any other OS on the desktop. That's mostly crap.
  5. Even my Mac Pro required Fully buffered ECC Ram to operate at all (same as Xserve's)... All workstation level systems generally do. Even Apple knows they need it.
  6. BtrFS and ZFS both have full checksums built into the OS (if you're referring to filesystems). Both are available in Linux. It isn't baked into NTFS directly, or AFS. Even with that, ECC memory is recommended anyway.
  7. There is nothing magical that can stop Bit flips (even a Mars rover was affected). Unless you build a 1m concrete wall around your computer to stop gamma rays.
  8. Super computers and servers absolutely matter, because they require proof of scalability.

Android Phones, Samsung TV's, Hisense Vidaa, synology, android TV's all use linux and non-ecc ram.

I'd love to know where this ECC claim comes from. More misinterpreted data I assume..

It's already year of linux on everything else from mobile devices, VR (meta quest) to servers.

I don't think its year of the linux desktop, but, as people try to become more independent, there will certainly be a push. Countries like China in the government already apparently use Linux

And, there is hopefully a bigger push for SteamOS based gaming handheld consoles. GOG integration with SteamOS would be awesome too

I use Fedora for work. One piece of software I have won't run in wine though, because it does some weird SSL certificate stuff. So, I still need virtual machine manager. but, everything else, including compiling I updated our build tools to work properly in linux.

Fortunately, no smart cards or anything though, and unmanaged system
