If a big MMO closes that'd be rough, but those types of games tend to form communities anyways like Minecraft. You don't have to pay Microsoft a monthly rate to host a Java server for you and a few friends, you just have to have a little bit of IT knowledge and maybe a helper package to get you and your friends going. It's still a single binary, even if it doesn't run on a laptop well for larger settings.

With a big MMO, there will form support groups and turnkey scripts to get stuff working as well as it can be, and forums online for finding existing open community servers by people who have the hardware and knowledge to host a few dozen to a few hundred of their closest friends online.

Life finds a way.

If it's a complicated multi-node package where you need stuff to be split up better as gateway/world/area/instance, the community servers that will form may tend towards larger player groups, since the knowledge and resource to do that is more specific.

Far-UVC has a lot of potential once it's scaled up. Right now, we're still learning about best practices.

Institutions should be adopting this tech at scale.

If we're still learning about best practices why are we talking about deploying this at scale? Self contradictory article.....

It should be the other way around. Figure out if it works academically, then test small scale, then scale up with proven and reproducible results. That's how science works. Best practices can be formulated and adjusted at each stage as more knowledge is gained. That's how we don't make a massive health mistake and give an entire convention center indoor sunburns. Especially for people who might be more sensitive to sunburns.

Figured I was going to see one of those here :P

Is that the 16 version?

Not on a flash based motherboard (so basically almost everything recent). On modern systems usually the only thing the battery powers is the clock, which is why they have a separate reset to defaults header/button/switch.

(The CMOS memory of old is replaced with flash memory, al la SD Card or flash drive)

(USA) Having eaten at Dominos, Papa Johns, and a large selection of local places only one local place was worse then Dominos. The rest were all light-years better.

They confirmed that there was a range of CPUs affected by a fabrication issue outside of the press release that went to media. So while we know about the i7/i9, manufacturing process is often shared between different CPU models and with Intel being opaque about what they found it's hard to understand what actually happened and what's truly unaffected.

Gonna be honest I did not figure that one out.

I assumed he was part of a hunting party and had been injured separately.

Gotcha. Yeah low level Unix has some weird stuff going on sometimes.

Oh thank goodness, that was one of my main complaints with the system. Did they ever get around to requiring sudo like Macports (and any other reasonable system level packages manager on BSD/Linux)?

After Crowdstrike are we sure it's not all blue screens in the windows column?

If it's anything like when I used a Mac regularly 7y ago, Homebrew doesn't install to /bin, it installs to /usr/local/bin, which only works for scripts that use env in their shell "marker" (if you don't call it directly with the shell). You're just putting a higher bash in the path, not truly updating the one that comes with the system.
