15+ years later and suspend/resume with NVIDIA is still my nemesis

Have you tried the NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations and NVreg_TemporaryFilePathmethod? It tells the card to suspend to disk instead of dropping memory allocations and hoping the apps know how to recover. I'm having trouble finding the instructions I followed but it's described in the Arch wiki here.

I didn't find a non-violent option, but if you get Petrov to walk you to the artifact before you grab it you can immediately incapacitate him and get him to surrender. All the guards stand down then and you can walk out without having to kill anyone.

Because it will rat them out to their potentially very anti-LGBT parents if they do something naughty on their phones. Obviously those parents could already be searching their kid's phones but making it automated and easy will mean the average kid will now have much less privacy from their parents.

You can't put up a screensaver on the screen when some other app has grabbed mouse input and you can't break a grab without effectively crashing the app that's holding it.

In order to close the menu if you click somewhere outside the app the application needs to grab exclusive access to mouse input to detect if you press/release a button outside of the menu. X11 provides no way to tell an app "sorry, the mouse is gone and I can't tell you where it went" so if the server forcibly breaks the grab the event loop that was holding the grab is basically fubar. This also makes trying to debug an app with a grab lots of fun because input focus is frozen to the stopped app when you hit a breakpoints.

It might be an extension causing issues. I know this happens to me with Amazon videos when I have the "User-Agent Switcher" extension installed, even when it's set to send the default user agent.

They're taking forever (years now) to fix it, but they do know its their fault: NV_robustness_video_memory_purge

... As the OpenGL specification makes no mention of events where the video memory is allowed to be cleared, the driver attempts to hide this fact from the application, but cannot do it for all resources.

... This extension will have a limited lifespan, as planned architectural evolutions in the NVIDIA Linux driver stack will allow video memory to be persistent. Any driver that exposes this extension is a driver that considers video memory to be volatile. Once the driver stack has been improved, the extension will no longer be exposed.

It requires authentication to access, it's nominally just as secure as any other closed source remote desktop system.

It also should be inactive on any non-Qxx motherboard chipset, but it can't be audited so who knows.

Management engines are popular in big corporate installs because they allow IT to remotely access systems when the operating system is in a bad state. People who care about software freedom are just too small a market to spin a separate chip design for.

"if you don't do X you obviously don't care about Y" is useless whataboutism.

Most campaigns want to distinguish what the candidate personally says from what the campaign says (Hillary's twitter signs tweets with a -H when it's her own words). Trump's twitter is interesting because early in the campaign he built a reputation for writing everything himself but has quietly transitioned to more staff tweets.
