The vast majority of systems back then had Core 2 Duos, modern web apps (or overcomplicated sites) can easily choke those.

Please go back and read again what I wrote. I never talked about screenshots until you brought it up. You're literally tilting at windmills here, I'll just leave this conversation.

These kinds of scammers have tried to substitute hard work with literally anything they can get their hands on for their entire lives and never learn. They'll keep trying with whatever they can get their hands on.

Apparently in Europe there's also a fake LotR/Harry Potter concert tour going on that stops mid-song half the time, because they haven't actually licensed the songs and are trying to muddle through with "fair use" (

Screenshotting != Screensharing The last two jobs I worked in was in linux-heavy devops departments. The Wayland users are having far more trouble than any of the X11/Mac/Windows users, and probably more than all of them combine

Consumers mostly expect their computers to actually work, these days. They neither know or care about what "a viable driver model for the 2020s" is, they want screensharing to not break every other month.

Apparently, Nvidia drivers? The page says the proprietary driver (which I need for reasonable performance and battery life) only works "with limitations" in Gnome and KDE, which are both too terrible to even consider using.

Can I use a no-bloat minimal window manager with Nvidia+AMD hybrid graphics yet? No? I'll stick to X¹¹ then.

I wonder if there's some encoding tricks you can use to reduce it to 8 (or less?) effective states, given that you're only using them with a reduced set of mathematical operations. E.g., can you automatically convert all (-1, 1) t

iirc GDocs mostly uses a huge canvas: Rendering is still client side, but you don't need 100 garbage collected DOM nodes to render any particular part of the page.

I love paged, but the performance really shows why other word processors keep their rendering out of the DOM: 150 page documents with footnotes and forward+backward page references, which instantly load in a desktop app or take a few second

Even in multi-user or organizational repositories, I wonder how many >1k SLOC RPs involve tons generated code or (poorly) vendored external dependencies. Typically it's pointless to try to review that in detail, either it applies cl

That looks a lot like the workflow the Linux kernel uses (with MRs broken up into individual logical patches), just re-invented on top of a proprietary tool to charge $30 for it?

On the other hand, still much cheaper both to build and operate than the equivalent in conventional power plants. But I do wonder where all that money is coming from. Foreign investors?

I'm extremely glad that more and more distributions ship alternative bootloaders as first-class alternatives , the excessive complexity of grub2 has always added far too many failure points and required far too much active maintenance.

Are the door sensors redundant on the 737, or do the crew and pilot just check different readouts of the same?

You're speedrunning repeating every mistake Sun made with JVM sandboxing, congratulations.
