If you have confidential compute(Intel TDX or AMD SEV) available from the cloud provider then it is feasible, provided you trust the CPU manufacturer. They should provide capabilities that allow you to perform remote attestation and ensure the virtual machine is running in the protected mode. Hypervisors running these types of machines usually can’t access the memory of the virtual machine, not even the registers.

Of course, nothing guarantees there won’t be a vulnerability that breaks it(e.g. side channel attacks), but right now the technology exists where you can run software in the cloud, protected from the provider…

Although I agree with almost of your points isn’t “Cult of personality indoctrination tactics” mainly because of Harmut’s and Clarissa’s fault?

Did you actually watch the video and/or read what I said? I want to be able to play the games locally, not from the cloud.

I only bought a steam deck recently, when I subscribed for 3 years, I mostly gamed on Windows or on my Xbox.

Personally, I think this is great because I can now use my game pass subscription on the steam deck, I know I could use the cloud functionality on steamos, but it is not the same.

This limitation made be realize the vendor lock-in that game pass is, sure it provides awesome value, but forces you to have windows or buy an Xbox.

The video is sped up quite a bit, but I’ve definitely seen them before in Portugal.

Isn’t the bootloader unlockable on Samsung devices? What’s stopping you from rooting it?

What is your use case?

Gaming? Moonlight + sunshine

Management between different OS? TeamViewer in LAN mode.

Management between windows? Remote desktop if your windows version allows it.

I once had HR ask if I was familiar with G-I-T ( she spelled it out), for a moment, my only thought was “wtf is G-I-T”.

Can’t wait to see the next Mona Lisa of software as an exhibition at the Louvre!

Did you mean to say software architecture?

Even though my job title has “engineer” in it, I don’t agree that it should be considered an area of engineering.

Yeah, me either. But I would expect one to know how to research the documentation to find out what it meant.

I wouldn’t even expect most of them to this kind of research, no. On top of that, I see “engineering” also carrying some type of accountability and responsibility. For example, civil engineering, there are often regulatory bodies, codes, and standards that engineers must adhere to, and they are legally responsible for the safety and integrity of their projects. While in the software side of things, standards and best practices are more loose. Unless you’re working in safety critical industries (automotive, aviation, etc…), the “accountability structure” is completely different, if existent at all. Calling themselves Software developer or some derivate would make much more from my point of view.

I still wouldn’t say software engineering is actual engineering.
