> body armor defeat capability The 6.8x51mm will not defeat any armor that M2AP won't. NIJ certified level IV armor will stop M2AP, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 Win Mag, and in some cases, up to .338 Lapua Magnum. The last two are far more p

It's not that you can't believe anything they report so much as relying on only those sources is going to give you a distorted and biased representation of ideas and events, same as somebody who only reads Fox News. I read article

We see similar approaches with social media. Fear and anger drive engagement, and engagement creates more ad revenue. I point this out whenever anybody expresses outrage to me over something they read off social media.

I don't consider any single source or group of agreeing sources as credible in isolation. I've witnessed bad reporting from all major news sources. In cases where I wish to be well-informed, I'll seek out multiple sources, se

If those are your picks for credible sources, you might be less informed than you believe yourself to be. I don't think they're the _most_ biased, but they're certainly not the _least_ biased.

Indeed, it looks to be a crude double barrel shotgun loaded with black powder. Such firearms are easier to make, as black powder has lower peak pressures which don't necessitate a very sturdy construction, especially in large bores. Al

This makes sense, thanks for clarifying. So the refrigerants in use are effectively obsolete, and after they're reclaimed and destroyed, should pose no further risk, as there are better options available.

Display independent DPI scaling. For instance, if you have multiple monitors of different sizes/resolutions, you can scale them independently to have text and windows appear the same size on all of them.

Disabling turbo boost/frequency boosting would actually _decrease_ power consumption, as well as performance. The idea with boosting is to allow certain cores to exceed the maximum frequency, so long as certain parameters such as packa

The kernel driver was never distributed as source. The driver itself was a giant compiled object file that was linked into a kernel module with some shim code using DKMS. I know because I dug through it trying to fix the RTX 2060 in my G14

No, but I'm able to read and modify the code for all of the in-tree drivers, which are the only ones in use on my machine. There's also a large difference between a closed driver or firmware blob, where the function is known but t

I think a simpler and easier solution when you have plenty of memory is to use an initramfs [0] as your root, which avoids having to read from disk after boot. Considering the Pi 4 can be had with up to eight gigs of memory now, this is a p

Practically speaking, QEMU needs a lot of OS functionality, such as scheduling, threading, virtual memory, and network, disk, and filesystem drivers, to be able to function. Xen does have these, but so does Linux, and KVM just exposes hardw

It doesn't spy on you. It gives you freedom of choice when it comes to desktop environment, and what software you run. It's not developed by anti-competitive tech giants.
