How are energy and power “loose terms”? Energy might be difficult to fully explain rigorously, but it’s one of the fundamental elements of our universe. And power is just energy over time

A brain can also do that

His last comment is from 7 minutes ago so I would say no x)

Man, there’s some lore behind Nvidia support in Linux. Short of it: Nvidia are assholes, they pretty much could give Linux users an on-par experience to Windows, but don’t want to. Things have been generally improving in the last 5 years or so I would say though. CUDA and PCI Passthrough also usually work, so getting a cheap Intel Arc to draw your DE and using your Nvidia for heavy lifting is a relatively cheap and ‘drop-in’ fix to your workflow.

Linux focused companies like Microsoft

my sides

Being a contributor to an open-source project is not the same as actually owning a “commercial” product. They can voice opinions in the mailing lists, but they don’t have direct influence. Sure, some maintainers work for those companies, but I would say that’s hardly the same. It’s sponsorship, and it’s welcome pretty much no matter where it comes from in my view.

If those companies disappeared overnight, Linux would be fine. Development would be a lot slower, sure, but it wouldn’t implode and instantly become worthless like macOS or Windows

I’ll bite. How? It’s open source software championed by a Finnish academic professor.

You can do almost anything given enough time and a Turing machine ;)

The kind that can decode high resolution, high bitrate video in real time

The introduction also reminds me of some other modern hyped technology…

Great share, thanks!

edit: Oof, the subprime mortgage emergency stop analogy too, to a T

At least we have an easy tag to spot bad journalism

Didn’t know spelling and grammar checks had needs

Fuck Sam Altman

Of all LLMs you could’ve used, why grok?

That dev definitely doesn’t seem like the best human around, but this is all around terrible to me. Calling the project “dehumanizing” and “vile” because of this is ridiculous. Are people really willing to have their browsing tracked and sold rather than using a browser that has an assumed gender in the documentation? Not saying that they shouldn’t use gender neutral language, but as the original issue said, it’s a minor nitpick, let’s be honest. It’s also something that’s representative of one dev as a person, not of the project as a browser. Additionally, it could be something as simple as the dev coming from a gendered language, where the word “user” itself is masculine, and doesn’t see it the same way as English speakers asking for neutral language.

Note that for HDDs, it doesn’t matter if they’re powered or not. The platter is not “energized” or refreshed during operation like an SSD is. Your best bet is to have some kind of parity to identify and repair those bad bits.

Sorry dude, but bit rot is a very real thing on HDDs. They’re magnetic media, which degrades over time. If you leave a disk cold for 2-5 years, there’s a very good chance you’ll get some bad sectors. SSDs aren’t immune from bit rot, but that’s not through quantum tunneling - not any more than your CPU is affected by it at least.

I think these were final, retail versions that were being prepared for physical distribution ahead of release

Behaviour is tracked in order to be influenced.

In the meantime, hackers have just released a new jailbreak and made it a more open platform than ever :^)

sfc /scannow and the troubleshooting button in the settings do fuck all

Hey, that’s not true! sfc takes forever to run, so it’s a good way to waste time and get even more frustrated.
