Looking back, I actually think the older the RAM the more likely you're able to notice bit-flips and they harm your workflow. EDO RAM was the worst in my experience (my first computer), SDRAM was a bit better, and random bit-flips atle

Exactly, people are going to be logged into these apps with trackable identifiers. You can see it with tracker control on android, download a new app and see existing apps report things to new trackers, which seems to be happening at the sd

Sideload probably means use adb. It's like they're avoiding using the tool name for some reason.

The one I took was a night train to/from Xian, and had fixed beds instead of seats. It makes sense for bigger cities to have this sort of a service available, but it would also make sense if smaller cities have these as daytime trains

Term limits do prevent situations like the supreme court, where any institutional knowledge and length of terms can be weaponized for political gain. Overall, if the objective was to have a non-identifying age flag in operating systems, thi

The solution is to get money out out of politics. Term limits are good for the exact reason you mentioned. For tech law, there should be some sort of tech committee that knows laws like this are idiotic.

When getting rid of actual performance bottlenecks is too hard or costs too much, just make something up. XeSS is actually pretty great, played Talos Principle 2, a UE5 game on the Steam Deck at 800p 30fps thanks to XeSS.

This is cynicism or worse, the way to get more open hardware and software, is to buy it and use it, regulation and understanding will catch up. Sure people care more about things other than tech, that's never stopped me from pointing o

And yet, these same people will install modchips on consoles, pay for VPNs, use ReVanced, and generally find ways to do what they want rather than what corporations want, and safely too. People can learn about links to payment websites, sel

If signing apps is required, then self-signing with your own key should be an option, in addition to a virus scan. Signing authorities have gotten things wrong, which is forgivable as long as they are learning from mistakes, but not letting

Really bad chess might have been on to something here. Bughouse, chess960, and horde have been the alt chesses I've enjoyed the most.

The bigger problem is the rent seeking some registrars are doing now by increasing prices. Not sure what domain portability might look like (maybe requiring multiple registrars per tld), but something like it would solve this problem.

Yes, they can take advantage of privacy violations, being able to misrepresent facts, and pointing to an infallible technology stack even though it is not.
