I presume you never filed a chargeback? If you didn't bother to get your money back, they have no incentive to fix problems like this

You're probably thinking of DDR self-refresh which lets the entire CPU (including the memory controller) power off without losing data when the device is in sleep mode. I've never seen hardware that partially powers off memory the

If you search "1pib/(10 gbps)" on google, you'll get 10.4 days. An unmetered 10G port at a US data center is ~$1500/mo. Not particularly expensive

Not this shit again. First of all, erythritol is not an ingredient in Stevia. They're two completely different substances. The author is probably thinking of Truvia which contains both ingredients. More importantly, literally every sub

Wow, PROCESS_MODE_BACKGROUND_BEGIN is quite the footgun. I wonder if this started out as a hack to reduce the impact of OEM bloatware on benchmarks. Is there an easy way to list all processes that use this priority class?

Replacing hardware memory safety with WASM is a great idea, but FWIW you can get most of the benefits by just using hugepages. Eg, clang spends 7% of its time on TLB misses and you can get a free 5% speedup using hugectl: https:/&#x2F

In practice most pilots use an iPad app for flight planning and navigation. No technical reason why open source hardware/software could be used for that if it had good UX (which is pretty uncommon in the Linux desktop space)
