after the edge update, when i started my computer, edge opened itself and forced me through a "first run" mini tutorial thing that i couldnt skip or ignore. it wasn't even a "you have a new program" prompt, it was a

I'm not going to debate whether or not the services violate Apple's handcrafted policies. I'll just say that Apple has stupid policies. Stop using products that exist solely to lock you into a walled garden.

It's encrypted all the way from one end to the other end, we just also happen to have a copy of the key and can dencrypt it in the middle. Technically, the exact packets of the data you send is E2E encrypted... but the copies they make

Not solid numbers, but a 24 core threadripper has a TDP of 280w. The 24 core epycs of the same generation have 155w or 180w (depending on clocks). The clock speeds are a bit lower on the epyc models, but but I would be willing to bet that c

I used to have a bunch of bash scripts for bootstrapping my docker containers. At one point I even made init scripts, but that was never fully successful. And then one day I decided to set up kubernetes as a learning experiment. There is de

I would agree with you, except the number of people still using facebook after cambridge analytica kinda proves that people don't actually care, even the ones that say they do.

I fully agree. My point just being that declaring evolution the victor because "of course, it has had more time" is clearly not always the case. But even aside from allergies, there are plenty of examples of doing things better th

Sometimes. But planes being faster transportation than peak evolution (even among other species, not just humans) is not just "think tank". Blanket declaring evolution as the victor all the time because it has had hundreds of mill

That's like saying we'll never build a device that moves faster than we can run because evolution produced perfect locomotion for us. Or that we'll never be able to communicate further than we can yell, because evolution prod

I agree. I've been just waiting for a use case for jitsi (the woes of social tools, is there is no use if there is no remote party willing) for years. I love when open source options are valid options. After all the zoom privacy/s

For the true pure "EEE" experience. they would need to be pushing us back towards some other MS product. Embrace git. Extend git. Extinguish git. Everyone is tired of git and just goes to Microsoft VSCode Repos. With "gh&quot

I had an ER Lite, and hardware offload was re-validating packets. Things would come in as error, and come out the other side still invalid, but validated. And at the time my ISP was sending me a lot of uncorrectable errors. So a lot of serv

The launch today happened on the 3rd flight of the booster. They have a few cores now which have flown 4 times. At this point, prices are a coming down, and it is effectively assumed that any SpaceX core will fly at least twice. That covers

I thought "hey that's not right" for a second too. I've never heard "more is less"... but technically they're equivalent. Less is more, more is less. Less is better, more is worse.

"Host your own" isn't about simplicity or cost necessarily. For me, it's about controlling data. I have my own media server, because when netflix removes friends, ill still be able to watch it. sure that means i have to

If fairness, I tried a raspberry pi cluster. and it was much slower than my xeon server. and i was insanely slower. but i could run the entire pi cluster off a 6 port phone charger, instead of an 800w power supply. Power bill was one of my

With Arch / AUR even non-repo software feels like repo software. However, on my ubuntu installs lately, I've found myself having to go with non-repo software for things that are in the repos. Because the repo version is just so fa

I'm a linux user and EGS has no linux option. If they do pull the game from Steam, I can no longer play. Does it matter how much I paid or how many hours I have played? If I pay for a game, I'm sorry if I feel "entitled"
