Used an iPhone X for the first time on Wednesday evening. I have the lack of some button to start actions.

Lol like Germany did, then failed back.

@dashrender That is very true, I believe Germany went back due to Microsoft offering them lower licence costs, probably will see other countries try this..

After like a decade and stated a LOT of success. It was very fishy and almost certainly political that they went back. Funny, no one has talked about the switch back being successful at all.

It might just be the offering for the community edition, service patch support etc.
Still looks to be a viable system.

First bits of the Siemens Jailhouse Hypervisor getting added to Linux 4.16.
This bit here "So you boot Linux first, then you enable Jailhouse and finally you split off parts of the system's resources and assign them to additional cells." from github makes it sound like Jailhouse is a type 2 hypervisor.

No, it's a Type C, hence the name Jailhouse being named after Jails, the original Type-C.
