Mistral is French. Which means their new AI sidekick translates to "The Cat"

Shower thought: In the future where we have fast space travel, will the crew's salary be based on the time on earth or the dilated time experienced on the space ship?

Okay, guess we have to cover this @nvidia press conference and see what @NVIDIAGeForce has to say for itself. :) Oh, already the news: RTX 50-series! Look, only 2-slots for the RTX 5090!

for this specific instance it was more of a process issue rather than an unwillingness. Most headsets don't shipped with an unlocked bootloader, I know of one or two who allow unlock but unfortunately we do not. It's for security and privacy reasons. Our devices are sold for countless enterprise and even defense uses, and a piece of hardware that has high FOV camera coverage of an environment could be a vector for malicious attacks. So to err on the side of caution, we currently don't allow any sort of bootloader unlocking to not only protect those customers but also unknowing consumers who potentially might get their headset hacked to monitor them. But I'll say it's not 100% off the cards forever, if there is a demand for it, I'm happy to restart a discussion but we'd need to find a sure fire way to make sure there's an easy way to discern a tampered HMD that can't be bypassed, and can still fulfil out privacy & security standards.

Some side notes to your other comments: -The kernel source code wouldn't allow you to tinker with the hardware, as our headsets are shipped with secure boot. -Stepping aside from this specific instance, I hope I can change your mind on our attitude towards open source. We've been making an effort to foster a culture of open sourcing more of the things we make. A few examples in the past year include 2 of our internal demos (Jelbee MR, Bouncing Duel), and our VIVE Streaming module for VRCFT. All 3 of these and more are over on our Github -If you have anything else you think we can do better, please send it over.

I've been using the MBP M4 for 2 weeks now. Here's where it loses against my old Intel MBP 2017: It takes ages to warm up during winter when you want it to be warm.

@JenMsft I'm 100% certain p0 never existed until this happened with p1. How long before p-1?

Seeing this question on my tax return form immediately summons an Admiral Ackbar in my head.

The TB SD cards on Black Friday are the only deals that are consistently legit every year.
