One good thing we can say about Linux bundling all the drivers is that it obviates the need to run almost all of this type of low quality (if not outright spyware) driver management software. They are especially problematic because they can't be sandboxed easily like most other proprietary crap.

For whatever reason, distro maintainers working for free seem a lot more competent with security than billion dollar hardware vendors

Aren’t vendors moving to a browser-based control model, where the hardware runs on a local web server that exposes various settings? It sounds terrible for security.

Won’t this be absurdly loud?

Just an opportunity to sell premium quiet seats at the back, and pleb seats at the front.

With all seriousness, I am thinking whether there are parallels between this proposed plane and the Q400.

Thunderbolt is basically external PCIe, so this is not so surprising. High speed NICs do consume a relatively large amount of power. I have a feeling I've seen that logo on the board before.

The PCI-E logo or the “octopus in a chip” logo? I’m more interested in the latter.
