21·13 days agoSupply chains are literally chains of suppliers, e.g. vendors. Your ‘simplest electronic product’ could absolutely be constrained by whom you choose to work with.
If your vendor locks you into buying from a certain source, and their vendor requires the same, and so on up the chain, how would you describe that dynamic to differentiate from a single vendor being the point of restriction?
To your point that the phrase didn’t exist, here are three supply-chain oriented papers that directly reference the phrase: This paper is exploring the social dynamics of buyers and sellers:
Lock-in situations in supply chains: A social exchange theoretic study of sourcing arrangements
Specifically, we believe that the examination of lock-in situations between a manufacturer and its supplier, i.e., instances where for all intent and purposes, one party is heavily dependent upon the other party, with few alternatives, under social exchange theory, can provide new insights into controlled self-interest behaviors (e.g., strategies) in on-going supply chain relationships.
This paper is about supply chains in plastic management, but the phrase is here:
Business models and sustainable plastic management: A systematic review of the literature
Barriers frequently mentioned were high costs, complexity of new systems, supply chain lock-in and low customer buy-in.
And here’s a paper about optimizing your supply chain where it is referenced as something to avoid:
Orchestrating cradle-to-cradle innovation across the value chain
This one even has a handy definition:
Supply chain lock-in: Contracts and strong dependencies with suppliers not supporting circularity (e.g., either due to non-willingness or lock-in in production facilities optimized for linear concepts).I suppose if you would like to be super extra pendantic Wikipedia does have you covered with “Collective Monopolistic Vendor Lock-in”.

3·19 days agoI’ve passed through my GPU for acceleration purposes which has worked pretty well. I don’t see a passed-through GPU in your screenshot. I’ll assume you turned on the correct IOMMU and SR-IOV settings, added the PCI:E hardware to that VM, and made sure it showed up inside the guest OS?

“This is why we can’t have nice things.” The license change sucks but makes total sense. I guess Dave Kinne there fucked around and found out, to the detriment of everyone.
9·2 months agoValve has moved the Linux Agenda pretty far forward. I would not be surprised if some of the pressure is from Valve’s ARM based improvements. I can see why vGPU pass-through support would be desirable for certain computing applications…or just emulation.
Don’t worry, the authorities already have the slightly less convenient way to backdoor things. Why make a fake release when you can just include it in the real release for the price of just a little coercion?
When there is a total solar eclipse, the temperature does drop dramatically. But it might not be detectable on the other side right away for sure.

It’s not always as simple as measuring an observable system or simulating the parameters the best you can. Lots of parameters + lots of variables = we have a good idea how it should go, we can get close, but don’t actually know. That’s part of why emergent behavior and chaos theory are so difficult, even in theoretically closed systems.
There are a couple ‘Other - Please Specify’ fields I definitely filled out with ‘Do not do AI’.
