At my place, most problems happened with Windows. Although those systems were air-gapped, problems occurred with the local-network updates setup by the IT team.
Most Linux systems were either used only for internet or treated as "devices", so minimal complaints there.
The software developers' Linux systems were expected to be handled by themselves, so any IT support would just be a favour.
There are quite a few other things that can happen over here.
Since terminals are still required even if all work is done in the data centres, those companies can now get deals with other AI companies to normally provide devices to them. Or those companies can just normally buy those things off of the distributors. This can in turn greatly increase commodity laptop/desktop prices for us.
US can try "helping" Taiwan and threaten Xi with that, to relax their laws for said companies.
Finally, the governments can start requisitioning computing hardware from us. Honestly, I am just counting my days until this, despite the recent govt. chip making progress.
How much would it matter?Even if they are Chinese manufacturers, they would want to go with the high-price buyer, which is larger companies.And if they do keep some reserve for people, out of some long-term-thought or maybe just some morals, wouldn't they just prefer selling inside China?
Take a cuboid, place 4 cylinders on the sides, you have a car.
Place it on a large horizontal plane and put a light somewhere on the top and you have a scene
start small and simple. Even if you don't end up making games, you will at least be able to make animations over time. I never took an animation job, but little animations were useful in the industry to show ideas.
Blender, while hard to initially grasp due to the UI (as compared to stuff like 3dsMAX, which felt kinda intuitive to me), is still a much better option. If you are using it regularly, it won't make a difference. Also, it is FOSS and cheap to install.
I cant code
learn to program. It will be useful in general, because it lets you develop the mental pathways required for most engineering
Difference between programming and coding: programming is defining the software, coding is understanding and using the language
i cant make music
if you have a microphone, yes you can. Start anywhere really.
im bad with ideas
Game creation doesn't need to be a 1 man show. Get some friends on. Ask around on Lemmy, what people would like to see and choose something that clicks.
Everyone of the above will still be useful somewhere even if you don't end up being a gamedev
From a programming point, SDL 3 is a good starting point, if you are doing C or C++.It is not a game engine in itself, but a library that can help make an engine or a game directly (you don't really need an engine), so it is as "from scratch" as I would recommend going. Furthermore, it is also made to directly support Vulkan, OpenGL etc, so you can try those out.
The +ive part of that is, you are not attaching yourself to any particular engine and you can use it to understand the underlying concepts behind game programming.The -ive is that you can't claim being experienced in any particular game engine, so the job boards asking for "Unreal Engine Developer" or "Unity" developer are inaccessible.
Another point of game programming is that it also has use in making stuff like simulators and that is where the real money lies, if you are willing to work for the military.
Konsole has the option to set scrollback line count and an alternative "infinite" where it just writes to a file on disk.GIMP can also have that and can ask for which disk it wants you to use, so if you have a 20TB HDD to dedicate for that, might as well.
In this case, the most recent 10 or so remain in RAM, while others only have a reference to it, in RAM.
Yeah, evaporate would be the appropriate word here, while sublimate would be for room temperature ice, which I don't know if it is ice that does it or if there is a microscopic film of water that then evaporates.
Nah. I remember back in high-school there were some who "disproved" the 3rd law of motion by pushing a door closed and saying that they didn't go backwards.I didn't care to engage them in debate.
How did that work?Doesn't pencil lead material just work as a resistor? It's mostly graphite and clay, and shouldn't have the required structure to work as a semi-conductor.
Ahh right. I had forgotten about how to term "semi-conducting" was used back in elementary, thanks to semiconductors and the lot.
Considering that I am working on tweaks to what is essentially a secondary application of an RSS client, I am not really expecting it to go away any time soon.
I just stick my index finger right next to it, use the finger to feel the socket and then move the plug forward.The taper in the front does the rest.
Doesn't work as well with USB C because:
The curved bevel is not good enough for the job
On the PC, the USB C is recessed and the I shield has a big enough hole that the plug can get stuck on the side of the socket instead of correctly inside.
Oh, I thought that was some kind of kung-fu.
