Comments in the linked thread are spot on. Manufacturers would do anything to avoid abiding spirit of that law to keep their bottom line. What's more depressing is "tech enthusiast" circle (eg. in reddit or hardware forums)

They trash just as much as the ESR release you'd download from mozilla.org would. In other words, you don't need to switch to RHEL to use Firefox ESR. It's the same version you can install on any other distro or Windows.

This claim is totally fiction. RedHat has no magic Mozilla sauce, they simply ship Firefox ESR and upgrade it every year. You'll have the same breakage in the end, just yearly instead of monthly.

Ability to forcibly sell a gpu to each is worth even more money (ie. see lawsuit on how Quallcomm bundle their modem on every SoC for a premium)

I don't need to repair memory modules, though. I can toss them away and get a replacement for few dozen bucks. Good luck finding a cheap commodity replacement for the whole motherboard.

Soldered parts are prone to fractures in BGA solder balls which are more annoying and expensive to repair compared to cleaning up sockets and rubbing pads with a pencil eraser one in a while.

You're missing the main point of my comment while falling to the swap trap: Processes may crash, but kernel shouldn't, period. If it crashes today with no swap while running 5 programs, it'll crash tomorrow with swap enabled

I get all of those, too. BSOD occurs less often when the system was already pressured with several cycles of the above. But even the graphics driver crashing is already bad enough. If there's not enough memory, offending programs shoul

That's a good point, and I was actually running with 16MB page file at that time (and my reasoning for that was exactly like yours). So unfortunately it's nowhere enough. Funny thing is I clearly remember Windows 7/8.1 showin

In my short experience you can't disable overcommit if you're using Linux on desktop because programs using gtk/glib freak out when they can't malloc.

> why Linux still needs oom-killer when Windows can run just fine without such functionality My Windows 10 installation just BSODs when Firefox fills up the RAM if the page file is disabled. I'd much prefer the OOM killer.

What is more worrisome than Google's response in that thread is fanboys defending it's a completely normal and expected for a 3rd party regular app to be able to take over emergency calls

Of course a 44" panel doesn't look as good as a 32" one, it has lower pixel density. This has nothing to do with it having a bad panel.

No need to look that far. Mainstream mobile processors in everyone's pocket have already been using 3 types of cores for the last few years (cortex A55, A7* and X1).

I did the comparison if anyone is curious. dash is faster but not as much as I'd expected: $ time yes | bash mill | pv -S -s "$FIVE_MEGS" > /dev/null 5MiB 0:00:24 [ 208KiB/s] [==================

Did you try running the same benchmark in dash or ksh? Looping in bash is criminally slow.
