Farming NVIDIA Jetson Based Thin Clients

Jetson Nano sitting on its box

In most organizations GPU powered thin clients (or any thin clients for that matter) are used for about 8 hours a day and the rest of the time they sit idle, not delivering value to the organization. Why not use their GPU processing power to accelerate organizational research?

Workspace One Apple iOS 9.3 Enrollment

When enrolling an iOS 9.3 device with the AirWatch Agent. I would make it to step 5 in the list. At which point it would launch a safari web browser to get to the AirWatch MDM site for the organization, so that the device can download a MDM profile.

If you tried to do anything safari would crash and you would need to restart the enrollment process from the beginning.
