It's not "just faster". No one's using "gamer NICs" for high speed networking. Top of the line "gaming" networking is 802.11ax or 10GbE. 2x200Gb/s NICs are available now. Gaming parts are strictl

Note for this laptop, specifically, it maxes out at 16GB RAM, and it's soldered, so that is a hard cap. That'd take a 256GB SSD down to 240GB after swap. I don't think it's a big concern for this machine, though certainl

Hardware naming is awful, in general, in my experience (: The interesting part of all of this is something that you've experienced directly, here. People crap all over Intel for being stuck on 14nm, and there are definitely good reason

Sudo was (maybe still is?) an OpenBSD project. I don't believe it originated there, but their code forms/formed the basis for sudo pretty much everywhere, much like OpenSSH.

It depends how oceans count as far as state barriers go. I have to imagine that going from Texas to New York along the coast would hit a state border somewhere around Louisiana.

Get in a row boat in Michigan. Row really hard. You can get to Minnesota without crossing any other border. And you'll come out the other side with ripped arms!

I haven't measured latency, but there's nothing noticeable in my day to day experience, which includes gaming as well. The desktop only goes through the KVM and the MST hub. The laptop additionally goes through a dock. I don'

DisplayPort supports MST to drive multiple monitors from a single output. Your displays may support this already. If not you can get a relatively cheap hub. Here are some: https://www.monoprice.com/search/index?keyword=

You can assign a key chord with left and right mouse click-and-drag for window movement and resize. Configuring this is one of the first things I do. I can hold Alt and left-click-and-drag to move the window, or Alt and right-click-and-drag

All those niceties you're talking about are handled by a settings daemon for the major DEs. You can easily run the Gnome or XFCE settings daemon without launching a session of their window manager.

Forgive me if I misunderstand, but I thought Signal's protocol prevented anyone, including Signal from intercepting messages, as these are encrypted end-to-end. The threat model is that someone else is impersonating your correspondent.

I guess I'm using the wrong term, then. I often find it useful to have a concept of "smallest representable positive number," specifically for handling edge cases such as the one I gave up-thread. I see how that doesn't
