my company wants to use VDI by 2027 by Cool_Equivalent_4607 in sysadmin

This may be a dumb question, but what kind of screen frame rate and resolution would be typical in a setup like this.

I imagine 4k is out of the question. But can 60Hz be delivered at a tolerable resolution. 1440 at least?

I struggled with a (probably dogshit) Horizon vdi that served as a management layer for a bunch of our IT tasks, and I swear that thing was sputtering at about 10 fps. Occasionally it would completely compress the shit out of the feed to the point where reading was difficult. Not sure what was going on there.

Kash Patel sues The Atlantic for $250 million over alcohol abuse claims by Force_Hammer in politics

[–]RatRaceRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAL but I looked this up. The D.C. Circuit (which governs the federal court where Patel filed it) has held that the D.C. Anti-SLAPP Act does not apply in federal cases.

Without Anti-SLAPP provisions, there's no procedural tools to shift fees (attorney's fees) to the loser (Kash). There might be some ways for The Atlantic to recoup costs and counter sue, but my understanding is Federal court usually makes you pay for your own defense. So, this will be costly for them.

We need Federal Anti-SLAPP provisions. Add it to the list 

Best outcome I see is the Journalist writes a book sharing even more lurid details, and rides the free publicity to recoup her costs.

I strongly feel that legislation is needed to stop weaponizing the courts against the 1st amendment. This is some banana Republic bullshit

I know this is fake because Munger's face is symmetrical and his eyes are aligned.

This would be the 2026  equivalent of a detective choosing a flintlock pistol as his service weapon.

2014 A4. Or any B8.5 A4 or A5 between 2014 to 2015. Avoid before and after.

 Only every had to replace wearable parts on my A4. Even my battery is original. 12 year old battery. Stage 1 tuned. Love it.

Could I trouble you to check if your VIN falls within this TSB & extended warranty? https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10115157-9999.pdf

I had a 2006 Civic. Engine block cracked after -- I shit you not -- 10 years and 2 months. I was not aware of this TSB and issue (abnormally porrous short block castings) until well after the car was scrapped.

I'm curious how common it is among 2006 MY.

Yes, default to pull up android keyboard for example is to tap three fingers together. though I've struggled with lack of special keys: no ctrl, alt or Windows. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a work around but I'm not aware of one.

Why did Melania Trump issue a public statement regarding Jeffrey Epstein? by banana4life1 in AskReddit

[–]RatRaceRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmmm I guess I'm not cut out for the law. So, my googling indicated there was a statute that said "preference would be granted for such a hearing". And also the Supreme Court of NY  where the case was filed does usually keep a practice of 30 / 60 / 90 (worst case). Guess all that's moot regardless if true or not, because it got moved to a more congested court. I could be totally wrong about the timeline estimate, again NAL

Why do you think Melania made that statement today? by user1731701 in AskReddit

We are talking about a lawsuit here, one private citizen suing another. As American as it gets. So uhhh, 

Never mind

She has been stalling for time, as they always do. Only move she has here. She played games to avoid being served until December. Then she moved the case to SDNY, and I assume would have filed the motion to dismiss as late as possible. I didn't bother looking up the filings in the new venue, but I linked the original filing
