I think it’s because they reallly want to say “first!!” But have to add an adjective to be able to truthfully say it.

Kind of the opposite actually. PTX is in essence nvidia specific assembly. Just like how arm or x86_64 assembly are tied to arm and x86_64.

At least with cuda there are efforts like zluda. Cuda is more like objective-c was on the mac. Basicly tied to platform but at least you could write a compiler for another target in theory.

To be fair. There is a meaningful difference between venture capital and joint ventures.

Like the concord was amazing for its time. But we have to acknowledge the accomplishment here.

But that was a publicly funded joint venture. The governments of the UK and France basically paid for development.

This seems really pedantic. Recommending 9gag because someone does not want to see constant bad news is just a but out there.

I mean they’re synced super fast to every file system. It works really well. Wayyy wayyy faster than nextcloud too. You can access them on that file system. If you want to “directly” access them you can always use the fuse driver. This being said there isn’t really a need to because all the files just are synced to your file system.

Another one is that if you delete a file on an encrypted drive it can’t be undeleted later on. Lots of benefits.

I mean if you have an angle grinder and a space to safely use it sure. But it’s still harder than just dropping the HDD off at an e-waste bin.

Fair. If you have access to a crusher then maybe I can see not encrypting. But even then with non encrypted drives files can be recovered even after deleting etc.

This is why backups are important. But even if the drive is encrypted recovering data is exactly as easy as recovery from a non encrypted drive.

  1. Do a ddrescue of the drive.
  2. Re apply the luks header.
  3. decrypt all non corrupt sectors
  4. Use appropriate tools to recover files.

Like you lose the same sectors if those sectors are encrypted or not.

I mean Americans do a lot of dumb stuff. And I don’t think we need to make every thread American centric.

True if all of your knowledge of religion comes from pop culture I can see how someone might see it that way.

Like in Family Guy or other Seth Rogan shows Satan, Jesus and “God” are all depicted as equals bickering.

Thanks for your thoughts here. They’re interesting.
