Your OS can load the microcode. Most Linux distros will load the latest microcode during boot. Some will even update the microcode when it gets the new microcode from the distro repositories. This facility exists specifically because motherboard vendors are terrible about providing updates.

Yeah, with a couple of podcasts I listen to, when the Honey stuff came out they did a whole thing about it and dropped Honey mid cycle, probably at a pretty big cost to themselves.

It still mildly irritates me because I had suspected they were doing this for a long time, but I can't really fault the podcasts I listen to for how they handled it.

I don't trust any single source! That's why I make sure to get my news from multiple different Lemmy instances.

Not really the same thing though, since Trump's thingy wasn't one of the things that popularised that type of site.

It would be hilarious to see Digg restart as a Lemmy instance.

It looks like this driver was written by folks at Red Hat, not NVIDIA.

Except that in practice you're still adding people's personal schedules on top of the time zones, so just accounting for their personal schedules in UTC makes things easier.

It helps significantly that the EU already has a lot of the necessary expertise at every level.

My company is fully remote. We use the working hours that people set on their calendar, because even people in the same time zone may not have the same working hours. My working hours start 30 minutes later than someone one timezone to my west.

You and I are in full agreement.

Kernel updates can require it, but even then you can often get away with replacing the specific module.

Yeah... Harris was an OK option for president given the state of national politics. But California can do far better.
