Also far too many clock stoppages.
Rugby: an 80-minute game that completes in around 100 minutes, inclusive of the 15 minute break between halves.
Gridiron: a 60-minute game that inexplicably takes 3.5 hours.
Very little fucking about in rugby, they just get on with it.
U3219Q reporting in. The new U4025QW is looking pretty tasty though, 5120x2160, 120Hz, Thunderbolt hub, more ports than you can shake a stick at.
All of the U and S series Dells I’ve used have been great, and they’re by and large remarkably reasonably priced too.
Double-bagged, with any luck.
You have to dig reasonably hard, but a few articles have linked to the original EASA directive, which is allowing up to three non-passenger flights to relocate the plane to a service location.
I’m not sure if that rule would just apply in Europe where they have authority.
Money. Money is where it comes from.

EXTREMELY LOUD ‘INCORRECT’ BUZZER
And if those specific ones aren’t available where you live, there’s a very similar range from a brand called “Pale Blue”.
Theirs are available in AAA, AA, C, D, 9V, and CR123.
First game I ever bought.
Mailed a freaking cheque internationally, and got a box of 3.5" floppy disks back about 6 weeks later.
Wild times.
Back in the XUL days (pre Firefox 57) it was possible for an extension to muck with keyboard bindings. So only 90 versions later :)
I’m looking forward to being able to disable the ^q quit shortcut, at the very least.
It also gives you no clue whether those prices are one-off purchases or monthly subscriptions, making them entirely useless.
$3.99, sounds like a dea… per month… YOU BASTARDS.
At work we use the NexDock for that purpose (for anything that doesn’t have proper Ethernet remote management, at least). It’s relatively convenient that it’s self-powered and self-contained, basically a laptop minus the computer part.
(Conveniently, I see this is also a new model that replaces the awkward mini-HDMI port with a proper full-size one)
If you need VGA, you will have to buy an active VGA-to-HDMI dongle. They’re cheap (down to about $10-15 these days) and seem to work just fine.
Should the preference be to use a laptop you already own, you’ve got a few options. Either an IP KVM like the JetKVM, GL.iNet Comet, NanoKVM, etc, or a USB one such as the Openterface.
(Note that a couple of those links are pre-orders or otherwise not immediately available, make sure you do your research)
All of these things are fairly comprehensively reviewed by tech-focused Youtube channels, just gotta pick your favourite form factor.
For what it’s worth, you can have your very own 4U rack-mount chassis with a dozen of these in it for around a grand.

Less than a hundred bucks each, and no need to rig up janky power and cooling.
Not that I think you necessarily should, but the option is always there.

Cat6 cable also has the admirable quality of being able to carry power as well as data.
Fibre… not so much.
was born at some point
I take offense to this. I was clearly hatched, and I think you know that.
For anyone - including, apparently, this article’s author’s - who is confused about the form factor, this is the next generation to follow the Grace Blackwell “GB300-NVL72”, their full rack interconnected system.
It’s the same technology as the matching 8-GPU “HGX” board that is built into larger individual servers - which in this generation’s case is just called “B300” as it has the “Blackwell” GPU but not the “Grace” CPU - but not sold in smaller units than an entire rack.
Here are some pictures and a video of that NVL72 version (you can buy these from Dell and others, as well as direct from Nvidia):

The full rack has 18 compute trays, each with 2 of the pictured board inside (for a total of 36 CPUs and 72 GPUs), and 9 NVLink switch trays that connect every GPU together. PSUs and networking make up the rest.
Mine (also Ubuntu, also Intel, but Sony earbuds) also works great.
Almost the only time in recent memory it hasn’t is when I’d accidentally kicked the cable out of the WiFi access point closest to the couch. My laptop was connected to one at the other end of the house, and it turns out that trying to stream video over 2.4GHz WiFi while listening on (also 2.4GHz) Bluetooth headphones isn’t a match made in heaven.
Now Windows on the other hand. My work laptop (also Intel Bluetooth adapter) starts out fine after a reboot, but over the course of a week will go from taking 2-3 seconds for the headphones to connect once powered on, to 30-40 seconds. Sometimes the headphones will connect, disconnect, and then connect again before actually making any sound.
The one thing the two OSes have in common is switching between 2-way voice (HFP) and high-quality music (A2DP) modes is a problem. In Linux it’s fairly reliable, but completely manual. In Windows it’s “automatic”, but frequently gets stuck in the wrong mode, or disconnects entirely when switching.
I know WoW used bittorrent for game updates, it was built in and was the “standard” download mechanism.

I’m sure it’s far from the only game that did.
If they’d actually had to pay the $1.24B back in 2009, it could have been quite meaningful.
Maybe having to pay less than a quarter of that, more than a decade later, just pathetic.
