    bumble-bee thingy

    I was going to say wrong transformer because the technology was called nVidia Optimus

    But apparently there’s an utility named Bumblebee to deal with it.

        Oh my gosh I’m so dumb. I’ve read the name of that tool dozens of times and never made the connection until now.

      I think he was referring to the GPU switching software to make Optimus work on Linux.
