  • It’s used for out of band management. With the correct hardware items (nic and gpu) it’s called vPro. With the proper certificate and supporting infrastructure it can auto-enroll into a management service such as SCCM. It allows companies to remotely view logs, bios settings and other items. With vPro it can include a complete remote KVM solution.

    You can disable it from most UEFI settings interfaces without worry of causing other issues.





  • I’m not saying what they are doing/did is best. I think it’s been mishandled for decades. I’m just saying this is how the government “thinks” and why cost overruns and corruption is often lower on the priority list.

    I’d rather the service providers be threatened with local government ownership if they mishandle the deal.

    In fact I think last-mile delivery should be provided by the local government and be subsidized by taxes to some extent. Residents should have the option to use public funded internet with baseline bandwidth targets, have the ability to choose a different ISP that’s managed at a local colo going over the public wires, or choose a last mile isp using their own private wired or wireless infrastructure.






  • An hvac company that is able to adopt AI for 1st call processing and scheduling will be able to eliminate a number of jobs and remain open 24x7. They will undercut their local competitors, and the hvac techs will find themselves out of a job or working for their competitor soon.

    Small companies won’t be able to compete.

    I’m all for this but we need to offset these immense productivity gains with economic safety nets. I don’t know how the next 100 year will look if we don’t adopt UBI, universal healthcare, and some amount of subsidized housing.
