They probably mean “we use cheap shocks.”

How do you keep all your virtual machines up-to-date? Or are those containers?

I’m a software engineer, not a hardware engineer, but let me guess anyway: the article will imply that they’ve found some magical way to be more “efficient”, but it’s actually that they treat their people like shit and also sacrifice quality. Am I right?

Oh that’s cool! I thought virtio and such were KVM-specific things. I have never been super clear on the relationship between QEMU and the hypervisor itself, like where one ends and the other begins.

Is Apple’s tech going to be using KVM machinery then, or are you just saying that it’s possible in general?

Like, you can use the GPU on Linux…with Metal

I wonder if they’re going to allow GPU access from inside the VMs.
