    This just seems like the worst possible design. I understand the minimalist urge, but why all failure points and complex electronics together into one not as modular piece? Maybe for the rpi keyboard I get it, cost/size wise it’s whatever, but why do it for a system this expensive, sizable, and thermally constrained?













  • If you think you can do it bro, but I’ve been in the industry long enough to know where this shit goes and it ain’t to second hand use. You’re ignoring so many aspects beyond just the firmware, I mentioned the infrastructure as well. A single Blackwell 2u draws 14.3Kw you’re not installing that in your fuckin’ home and that’s before we get to the mandated dedicated water lines or the fact you’re probably not cracking advanced firmware locks like that. It’s frankly a ridiculous proposition that reeks of a lack of knowledge on the subject.





  • That’s literally how any update on a computer ever will work. Real downsides worth mentioning would be like “you’ll be unbootable, you can’t rollback, it’ll update a bunch of other packages, it might delete user home”. Having to select an old entry in your grub config at boot because the new kernel doesn’t play nice with any number of custom peripherals or packages on your system is not what I would consider a serious downside and you’d have to do it if Kubuntu decided to roll a kernel update anyway. Do you uh, use linux?
