Nested virtualization is a problem for systems with AMD CPUs I think, Windows 10 Hyper-V supported nested virtualization on Intel only. Since Windows 11 it is supported on AMD too.
Well, kind of hard to say anything exhaustive in a quick comment, but roughly advantages:
- POSIX compliant, including dotting the i's. As opposed to, say, NFS which isn't cache coherent.
- performance and scalability. 1 TB/s+ sequential IO to a single file is what you'd expect on a large HPC system these days.
- Metadata performance has gotten a lot better over the past decade or so, beating most(all?) other parallel filesystems.
Downsides:
- Lots of pieces in a Lustre cluster (typically nodes are paired in sort-of active/active HA configs). And lots of cables, switches etc. So a fairly decent chance something breaks every now and then.
- When something breaks, Lustre is weird and different compared to many other filesystems. Tools are rudimentary and different.
I think we are all forgetting that Google is a massive bureaucracy that has to move out of its own way to get anything done. The younger companies have a distinct advantage here. Hence the cycle of company growth and collapse.I think openai and the like have a very good chance here.

This was true pre-ChatGPT, but Google is releasing and updating products furiously now. It's hard to think of a part of the AI space where Google does not have the leading or a very competitive offering.
Since this is “hacker” news. Just to let everyone know it is trivial to remove the tpm checks from the installer. You can do it manually or just download rufus and it has an option to remove them for you when you write an iso to a usb drive for install. Its a totally artificial requirement to drive sales. Windows 11 runs just fine on the older hardware. Like others have said windows ltsc is another great option. That being said…I agree its VERY annoying.
Unfortunately, the ‘best’ option for her is to get ESU until she can replace the device. It’s free for private EU users, and I hope it will be expanded globally.
The awful thing about all this is that they’re essentially turning a (perceived) perpetual license into a subscription license.
I’d expect to see a lot of scammers attempting to fleece unsuspecting users around upgrades and support.
This was my plan for my dad's PC, but, while he uses an iPad he uses for the vast majority of his browsing/email/etc, he uses his PC to do his taxes and the taxes of quite a few other people. TurboTax is dropping support for Windows 10 for next year's edition. Based on everything I've seen, it simply won't run (or that's how they are communicating it). So now I need to replace my dad's 3 or 4 year old computer only because of TPM. TT is saying they're doing this because Windows 10 support is ending, which obviously it isn't. Bad decision making on both ends, but the outcome is the same: I have to basically get rid of a very nice computer.
I'm holding out as long as possible, hoping that reason re-enters the game, but I'm not holding my breath.
Agreed. Not a good solution for mom and dad. I am starting to think i should just put Ubuntu on my mom’s computer. All she cares about is “it doesn’t change”. Eg the two icons she clicks on done move and do the same thing every time.
The article gives a PDF document as an example, but depending on how links are opened and stored for Notion agents, threat actors could serve a different web page depending on the crawler/browser agent.
That means any industry-known documentation that seems good for bookmarking can be a good target.
Lots of companies have automations with Zapier etc. to upload things like invoices or other documents directly to notion. Or someone gets emailed a document with an exploit and they upload it.
If I had to describe it, Notion is if somehow managed to combine OneNote and Excel. Of interest is the fact that the "database" system stores each row as a page with the column values other than title stored in a special way. Of course, this also means that it doesn't scale at all, but I have seen some crazy use cases (an example is replacing Jira).
In this case by emailing you a PDF with a convincing title that you might want to share with your coworkers - the malicious instructions are hidden as white text on a white background.
There are plenty of other possibilities though, especially once you start booking up MCPs that can see public issue trackers or incoming emails.
Its totally unacceptable that a customer, albeit a very skilled one, has to reverse engineer ASUS's code to solve this problem And even more unacceptable that all an executive would have to do is hand their engineering team this article and they are hand held through fixing it.
Asus has what looks like some great offerings and they are just loosing customers over the simple stuff. Dell has the same kind of problems. I have had a XPS with dual graphics since 2017 and only in 2023 did I finally get the magical combination of drivers and "old" firmware such that its perfectly stable. Of course its thunderbolt dock has a firmware issue where it detects external TB drives wrong about 50% of the time when it wakes from sleep. I just know its some bone head firmware code similar to this issue.
Message to the CEOs of these companies: Stop outsourcing your firmware dev to the lowest bidder! One can argue its kinda of the easiest part to get right! And then have a support channel that recognizes technically gifted people and fast track their issues to the top of your backlog! It will pay for itself in sales I promise!
Confirm. I used xp on a silicon graphics 21” crt for a longgggg time. Was freaking heavy as hell to lug around, but it was a great monitor even well into the lcd era.
