The free market will decide it’s actually more profitable to shut down bus service entirely and pivot to helping ICE transport bus loads of “illegal immigrants”.

Those specs sound like HDMI 2 anyway. HDMI 2.1 can do 4K @ 144Hz with HDR. Or apparently even 10K @ 120Hz.

The adapters have circuity inside, they exist. It’s small enough to still just look like a cable because they fit the chip in a plug end.

Haha, I didn’t even realize but the resolution is actually identical. My first laptop was a min-spec Macbook gen 1 (first Intel CPU model). It’s the same 1280x800. The modern LCD (or OLED) on a Steam Deck looks way better obviously, and they’re different DPI, but the performance hit is identical.

That’s what I was saying with the .ttf file being copyright. It’s entirely possible to generate a new “program” that produces the same shapes while being a brand new uncopyrighted program. There’s an infinite number of ways to describe how to draw a shape, only the one in the original file is copyright.

What is this even licensing? You can’t copyright a typeface in Japan or the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_protection_of_typefaces#Japan

Technically the .ttf file could be copyright as a specific means to reproduce the typeface, but someone could just run it through something to copy the shapes and then there’s nothing to be licensed.

Considering the garage points that way, that might be the front? There’s a problem with basically every part of it. The scale is completely off, since the common room looks more like a town hall.

This is just nuts to me… My first laptop came with 512MB of RAM and only supported up to 2GB. They were still selling Macbook Pros with only 8GB of memory a year or two ago.

12GB SHOULD be enough to do everything, especially if it’s running a linux OS. But I guess we can’t have nice things because of memory hogs like Chrome.

Instagram is also Meta, so it doesn’t look like anyone actually left Meta’s platform

I’ve seen several codebases that have a typedef or using keyword to map uint64_t to uint64 along with the others, but _t seems to be the convention for built-in std type names.

The user does have to log in again to access the second TTY. I don’t know exactly what Hyprland’s settings do, but “allow_session_lock_restore” doesn’t sound like something you want turning on randomly while an attacker is sitting trying to access your computer. It’s very possible the crash itself was caused intentionally by the attacker in that case.

Edit: Nevermind “allow_session_lock_restore” is just for saving open windows and stuff, so not really an issue. Restarting the lock screen however is very much not something you want to do while trying to keep an attacker out of your computer.

These steps require logging in again. I don’t think it’s secure to have it automatically try and fix the lock screen, since it just introduces more ways to potentially bypass it.

I don’t know how it went down, but I’m pretty sure they didn’t have to give the Sheriff anything. He’d have time to go over the subpoena with a lawyer the same as if it was just mailed. It doesn’t sound like there was any warrant for the Sheriff to perform a search or do anything other than drop off the papers.

On linux it’s just called running an executable

Edit: As a less snarky answer, you can run Android apps natively on linux by installing Android OS in a container using something like Anbox Waydroid.

I think the biggest thing lacking in this kind of hardware is displays. Where can you find a phone-sized 1080p display that doesn’t require signing some NDA or reverse engineering the specs? OLED would be even better for battery life.

I don’t see that probably 360p black-or-white e-ink display is going to be a good experience unless you’re comparing it to a flip phone.

That’s unfortunate for you, but not every company operates like that. There’s new startups every day, and with all the VC money they’re getting, they’re in a prime position to be building these new products. The fact so many AI products are under-delivering is enough of an indicator for me to agree with the article’s logic

“AI bad therefore…” was not part of their argument at all. They’re saying lack of time is a primary reason developers don’t release more products and try all their ideas. If the productivity increase claims of 2x or even 10x that some AI shills are pushing, then we should expect an increase in shovelware product releases.

The logic seems sound to me. They even collected their own data to try and back up their theory.

Can that not run through Proton? You could probably launch it through Steam, even if you bought your copy somewhere else. I have loads on external apps added just for easy setup with Proton

Bit rot happens on much longer time scales (like 10+ years), and can happen regardless of use. Most storage media has this as an issue though, so that’s why it’s always good to have backups.

Save games probably wouldn’t have a huge effect on write endurance, but certainly in some uses that write constantly like a dashcam, it could potentially destroy the flash in a matter of months. There are endurance sd cards for this kind of application, but they usually come in smaller sizes, and I’ve still had them fail eventually.

Once upon a time I owned a GameCube memory card, specifically so that I could have my own save progression when visiting my friend’s house (who actually owned the GameCube and games). That may not really apply anymore?

On another note though, making the sd card read only means it will last significantly longer. Flash storage (like SD cards) have limited write cycles, so this preserves the games themselves while leaving the much smaller save files to be written somewhere else where they’re easier to back up.
