I say gbs because (not checked recently) they were cached so your nvidia driver folder would be 10s of GB in size. For a driver!

Yep, same. I dual boot and only rarely use Windows.

Have they? I can't see it on their IOS App version 3.01. It's only had two updates in 4 years for cosmetic stuff.

Oh sure, I was just meaning in terms of bug reports actually precipitating action. For this type of software it's more like software a complexity issue than an economic one. > But if something in an Open-source system pisses you off

I think it was a good idea to rethink function keys it's just that for their current uses, the touch bar is worse. Things like steering a debugger is an eyes-on-the-road activity benefiting strongly from physical keys. I would be much

The sad thing is that it's almost futile raising a bug against complex software like this or IDEs. It doesn't matter if it's FOSS or commercial, they already have backlogs of 10000s of bugs so unless loads of other people are

I am happy to report it doesn't happen with 6.4.5.2. It's a shame that the snaps installed by default in Ubuntu haven't been updated.

Huh. I just tried Calc (6.0.7.3, Ubuntu 18.04) again this morning for the first time in a while and it crashed in seconds after right-clicking a few column headers. It's repeatable. When trying to navigate the very confusing document r

I was tempted by ZFS but it just felt like too much trust to put in something complex as a novice. Just reading about it led me to too many data-loss stories. I have had enough corporate IT teams tell me their RAID went down with total data

If you can only afford 2 then I decided against RAID/ZFS. The issue is that "raid is not backup" and I fear user error as much as hardware error so instant mirroring would be just as bad. For my home bulk storage, I just have

What is the thesis of the book? Instead of opposites, I would consider both Workaholism and Procrastination as forms of experiential avoidance coping strategies. Instead of a golden-mean between the two, the ideal point is off the line, whe

I'm not sure Greek myths are great sources of ethical behaviour given, you know, all the rape, incest, bestiality, cannibalism and more.

Sounds like a different symptom of the same illness. The team rushes at the problem, has a honeymoon period where things look nice and progress is fast but... it all then goes to shit. If your reaction is to blame technologies or the previo

I'm well aware but SO isn't the last word on peer support. i) We don't have to dehumanise interaction to present clean information. ii) I believe there is much more human motivation potential to be found in "personal con

It's kind of crazy for something claiming to be a "community" to crack down on basic human niceties and politeness. If you say "thank you", your comment will be deleted. At least on a standard forum, you can say &qu

I believe meditation has taken too much oxygen from intellectual action e.g. writing exercises where you try to fully describe what is happening, the feelings, the causes, consequences and possible actions. If you do this, you gain insight,

Small shops with card fees is the last remaining hold out for me. Payment systems should be nationalised and run by a country's central bank. It's a very boring infrastructure equivalent to roads. There shouldn't be a private
