June 19 2019 IBM completed its acquisition of Red Hat. Nearly a year and a half later the company has so much confidence in RedHat's parent devision, The Cloud Devision, that they no longer want to be associated with Mainframes and other Infistructure services. The Cloud Devision is the only growing devision inside IBM. Due to massive cost cuts in R&D, labor, and investment as well as using creative accounting practices IBM was able to delay some of the huge issues its been facing since the 90's at bay until around 5 - 6years ago. The traditional mainframe devision has been threatened by basic x86 servers for decades, and the last decade of evolving cloud hosting companies has effectively nailed closed most of IBM into a weighted coffin and tossed them into the ocean. IBM has been a long time investor in Linux, but also a sort of fair weather friend in regards to percentage of spend reletave to size of company. Remember in 2009 IBM was the forth largest company in the world. And its Linux investments have played critical roles in the early years. IBM invested a billion dollars in 2000 on Linux, but has since been easily overshadowed by others Including Facebook who has spent an estimated 16billion dollars on open source technologies. It's presumed that IBM both hopes to jump the stock price by changing their narrative, and change the management focus of the company and investors into greater R&D spend. Other more successfull Coud Giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are heavily invested in A. I. and open source. P. S. Open source is not necessarily a silver bullet for every Cloud company, at least in my opinion. But it's hard as a private company to get free spec work if your customers and enthusiasts can't see your code. Summary 10 Years of declining infrastructure management, (aka mainframe,) services sales and IBM has decided to spin off the division into its own company. Quotes My thoughts Layoffs, outsourcing, and massive cuts to R&D for decades led to little room for new internal business growth. If they wish to maintain the growth of the Cloud Division, aka Watson and Redhat, then they need to kill off the old guard. Hopefully they stop the disorganized cost management at all costs strategy and turn around like Microsoft has under Satya Nadella. It would suck to see RedHat, formerly the largest open source company and the birthplace of kvm*, crumble like the rest of IBM has.

Amazon is changing how their ad platform works to compete better with Google and App Nexus according to Tech Crunch. Not sure what this means for those who rely on Amazon as a revenue through their affiliate program. https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/27/amazon-is-retiring-cpm-ads-a-display-ad-network-for-amazon-associates-by-the-end-of-september/

They also say Tape Drives will double every 2 years for at least the next 10 years.

I had most of my Questions placated here: https://forum.teksyndicate.com/t/20-pc-servers-1-freenas-box/100538 But if anyone knows why the text is highlighted black on my thread that would be great.

Was just wondering the long term problems in running a FreeNas box (with eight 5tb HDD) that's used as an encrypted backup location for around 20 different devices. I couldn't find any good guidelines for what multiple devices concurrently sending snapshots to the nas would do. And how should a schedule should be staggered? What are the hardware failure and corruption rates comparing RAID-6 to RAID-Z3? Despite the cost increase would 2 smaller machines actually prove definitively more secure/stable? Or Does it just sit better with the feels? As I'd prefer to have one larger nas and then possibly just scale into a few large NASes for offsite snapshot's instead of what would be several per site snapshotting several off site? How Intricately into the ssd caching and update logging should I go? I was reading how you could have some level of improvements by separating everything out onto SSDs, yet I'd not gone and tried to do much more than run freenas before.https://doc.freenas.org/9.3/zfsprimer.html How hard can I secure the device? I understand there's file encryption, firewalls, and zpool encryption, is using all of that too much or not enough? Any Other Ideas? P.S. HOW DO i UNDO THE BLACKED OUT TEXT FOR THIS POST? i HAVE NO IDEA WHY THAT HAPPENED AND CAN'T EVEN FIND A SETTING FOR IT.

I was assuming they'd part out disparate elements instead of actual frame rendering. So basically think of what the "unlocked" 7th core of the ps4/xboxone used to do. Or, while unlikely, off screen reactive gameplay, where stuff, such as like your fallout 4 base or simply other rooms in an enemy base, are active simulations that you're main console calls upon for basic conditions when you enter a room, (which could eliminate loads in fallout 4 elevators.) While optimistic I think It's likely just a patent for a 3ds upscaler and a related achievement system. Hopefully they'd use this daisy chain to expand the next zelda's scale instead of frame render aid. I'd Love to see link charge into a massive dungeon and have reactive enemies in distant rooms react to alerts or even Attack style, and make you change your gameplay up when the other console moves around the total grouping of enemies or changes their weaknesses based on your actions. This completely separate simulation style of computing could use worse latency and just communicate small play stats, and otherwise act as a random number generator for new area spawns. While I like this concept: it wouldn't help with picture quality, would be a b@#$% to program for, and would have some crazy glitches. Glitching out whenever the process of the simulation machine giving the main console the conditions of screen events get's desynced. Imagine the screen shots of sudden random unintelligible data getting sent into the game. Some of this concept has been done in multiplayer games, but this would get way worse returns consistency then even sli. Some games would see massive ai improvement and others could break your save file or even the install. So yeah I don't hold much hope for reliable power. or really any power, and am guessing there will just be some massive upscaling of a 3ds game or two. Still has a cool potential though. Better Idea than the tablet+console idea turned out to be.

Nintendo's patent's claim include: A console may physically, wirelessly, and/or net based connect to one or more other devices with one or more processors to assist with computing. There will bitcoin mining like compensation system for use in a sort of cloud p2p gaming system. The cloud p2p gaming system will route traffic based on latency. This patent has many interesting claims. They either indicate that you can hook your new 3ds and/or older consoles into your nx, or you can stack nx up to the ceiling and hope for 4k support. The vague cloud compensation system either indicates: you getting trophies/mii clothes/ect for the random number of times your nx is called to the cloud, there will be a freemium lottery based net usage system where it's pay to play online or collecting phantom system use tokens, or you get store credit for the phantom use of your nx. I have no idea if this indicates scalable power or a cheap system with duct taped legacy/network support. Tell what everyone thinks and here's a link to the patent and a video about this. http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=8&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=Nintendo.AANM.&OS=AANM/Nintendo&RS=AANM/Nintendo

Would the EVGA SSC GTX970 use a GTX970 reference block or the same one as the EVGA FTW GTX970? And my hand is on the mouse ready to buy if I find a perfect option.
