  • The first picture had me think, that the orange stuff is a slime mold and the grey-blueish growth its fruit body. The second picture, where nothing resembling a slime mold is visible, makes me think, that those grey-blueish fruit bodies belong to something from the genus Clavulina. More specifically some kind of club fungus (not a coral, which are in the same genus).



  • This is victim blaming.

    Only to some degree. The guy is a software engineer and should have known better. I’d agree if it was Jenny from accounting. You could just as well point out “victim blaming” when I called someone a moron for jumping from a three storey building and breaking his legs, because it was neither his intention nor was he aware that it could break his legs. For a software engineer to employ cloud based “smart” devices and then wonder if it backfires is borderline moronic.





  • The firm has also claimed that there is evidence to suggest that the app is an illegal pyramid scheme, with members being charged $49.99 a month to join.

    I mean, the guy is an idiot and detrimental to society, but, that’s not a pyramid scheme. A pyramid scheme is defined by having multiple layers which get wider the further down you go with money flowing to the top. That’s just one layer with a ridiculous fee. It’s almost as if these people thought along the lines of “Tate bad, pyramid scheme bad, so we call this a pyramid scheme”, without understanding what a pyramid scheme is.

    What do you mean by passthrough here? Usually passthrough refers to passing through a GPU to a virtual machine. And there is no cooperation whatsoever required between the GPUs for that. That makes me think you’re talking about offloading: one GPU controlling the display, while the other does the heavy lifting of 3d rendering. Last time I checked - several years ago - that is impossible with the proprietary nvidia driver, unless you have hardware that supports that, like prime in laptops. The only way to do offloading to a nvidia card without such hardware was to use the open source driver nouveau. And at the time there was absolutely no point in offloading with nouveau because it had such terrible performance. Now, this might have changed on several fronts since then; so take it with a grain of salt.
