You know what I do after installing my OS? I just use it as is. The defaults are already set to my liking. I haven’t been able to do that with Windows since 2001.

Like the famous quicksort algorithm. Invented in 1959, still used today.

Feature requests, issues, and bugs would probably be better responded to there. We really can’t do anything about that. It’s open source. There’s also always the option of forking.

Docker has fully replaced what I used VMware ESXi for. They thought they had more sway than they did.

Grandma’s been waiting for you.

Yo ho ho.

It doesn’t matter if you have 2 Gigabit internet if no one in the world is uploading even half that fast.

Just to point out something, yes, there may not be many services online (except torrents perhaps) that will max out your gigabit connection, but you are looking at it from the perspective of a single user. I’m in a family of four, also with a roommate in the house, and with everyone gaming and streaming and doing their thing, it can easily saturate it. We had to pay extra for no caps though or we’d be toast. They at least did offer that. Dicks.

Anyway the point of a high speed connection is to be able to do many things simultaneously, not really one giant thing by itself.

The people you are probably referring to exist on like, two instances. Everybody always ends up on the “.ml” ones for their first experience and is immediately horrified by the hardcore tankie content. That’s because those specific instances are run by actual Marxist-Leninists.

Broadband had pretty much had taken over most places by the mid-2000s. That was 20 years ago. There are people who can drink now who were born after 9/11.

What I’m trying to say is, yes, we’re old. Dialup to younger folks is like what rotary phones were to us.

That’s great. That’s a personal antecdote though. I was online, unsupervised at 14 years old back in the late 90s, and being into anime and furry shit, I definitely had more than a couple people online trying to roleplay sexual shit with me…a fourteen year old kid. Even though my account profiles stated so. Unfettered, unsupervised access is also not the solution. I’m basing my opinion on this on my own experience as well. There are a shitload of predators out there.

I am not saying a blanket, hamfisted ban is the solution either. This is more complex than being a black and white problem. Where the fuck is everybody’s parents? They should be the ones actively guiding their kid through online spaces, not the government. It was literally a slogan in the 90s to “ask your parents before accessing such and such website” on every ad having to do with the Internet. WTF happened.

You wanna get a kiddy diddler messing with your kid? Because that’s how you get a kiddy diddler messing with your kid.

The same parent that handed the kid a device to be on social media can also take the kid out somewhere to socialize with other kids.

That’s basically how IGBTs in power electronics work, in stuff like trains and electric cars. It’s a sensitive, easily activated voltage-driven MOSFET driving a larger BJT transistor in a chain.

Also how Darlington pairs work. So, yeah, maybe they could do all the computation at that level and then cascade the output through larger transistors to talk to the outside world.

The article mentions this, and says these new transistors actually take advantage of quantum tunnelling at those small scales to switch the transistors on and off. Usually that’s accomplished by charging up a conductive channel in a traditional MOSFET like a capacitor.

The disadvantage seems to be that these transistors can only control very tiny currents. They currently lack enough ass to control much else.

As in, forever for good, or the “Microsoft” “for good” user settings paradigm?

Funny, the first thing I do when I recognize that something is AI-generated media, I make an effort never to visit that site/channel/feed/whatever ever again.

I just want all windows games to run on linux with equivalent performance and without anticheat hurdles. After that happens i’m done with windows.

That’s one strategy. Mine is to just say “fuck it” until the devs and studios make their games more playable on Linux. I can deal with not playing some games to make that happen. That’s not for everyone though.

Switching to a better non-mainstream alternative to anything always brings some compatibility pains until enough are doing it to where the tide shifts. I accept this.

Okay. What are we supposed to do, not use chips? They’re kind of a main character of the 21st century.

This would be a great application of those nuke plants fuckin’ Google and Amazon want to build.

Doesn’t this all depend on the height of your car and the condition of your shocks? Doesn’t seem like a hard and fast rule. Also, you’re assuming rear wheel drive. FWD does not “raise the hood” like you’re playing Cruising USA.

Ever hear the phrase “like a deer caught in headlights”? That’s what they do. They see oncoming headlights and just freeze.
