When you only need to hammer a nail every once in a while, any hammer will do. When you’re a roofer, you better have a roofing hammer.
If you don’t spend your life in a terminal and just need to edit a file, vim isn’t for you. If you want to learn complex strings of arcane wizardry to not only make your life easier but amaze your underlings, use vim.
From a developer standpoint you’re taking someone’s baby, cloning it into a language they don’t understand and deprecating the original. Worse, if you’re not actually interested in taking over the project you’ve now made it abandonware because the original developer lost heart and the person looking for commit counts on GitHub has moved on.
Obviously these extremes don’t always apply, but a lot of open source relies on people taking a personal interest. If you destroy that, you might just destroy the project.
Those screenshots were taken on Sony studio monitors which are much more precise than home equipment. They’re still available fairly cheap, I picked up a pair a few years ago for $35 each. It’s the best of both worlds.
I don’t know if they’re conflating rendering with display or just assuming those GPU are at max TDP 24/7, but they’re way off on actual energy consumption.
There seems to be a lot of recent articles attacking datacenters, particularly those involved in LLM “ai” work. This feels like one of those articles.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t keep them in check, but I also don’t like being manipulated by “grass roots initiative” marketing companies, particularly on Lemmy.
Using the max power use of a video card to math this is ridiculous. It’s not at full TDP pushing this content. They aren’t playing max FPS 3D raytraced gaming, they’re playing videos.
Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t expect any privacy between processes on a desktop OS under the same UID.
If you use Chrome’s password manager on Windows your password database is unlocked with your password upon login and is available to every process you run.
There’s only so much you can do, as an app, to protect against OS deficiencies.
The desktop app on Windows is a sacrifice of security for convenience.
TeamViewer sold out long ago, formed a new company (AnyDeak), fooled us all, sold out again, and there’s still people trying to use the same business plan.
There’s zero money being spent on security, this is pure profit extraction.
I think it’s more likely that someone is trying to keep competitors from mining it for a short term advantage
I feel like this article took a quick turn from “Bing went down” to “Google bad”.
I am glad more people realize who’s actually behind DDG and such.
You can also just install or create a third party app to do the same thing.
You’ll probably start with virt-manager then move to proxmox. This is the way, it’s only a matter of how long before you realize it’s better.
Most jobs include a 30-60 minute paid lunch break, making 9-5 completely plausible.
Yeah, it turns out that politicians in both parties are garbage people pandering to the masses.
Instead of voting along party lines people need to vote for real people that can act like adults and actually govern. Most of our government officials are now too busy passing meaningless resolutions, performing the same study that’s popular in all the other cities, or busy on social media pandering to vocal minorities.
It’s one thing to make a tool accomplish a task.
It’s another thing to beat the engineers until grandma can operate the tool.
I didn’t like the guy either, and found it funny that his own bullshit killed him in the end, but he did add “value”.
Vote better.
Do you really think the concerns about encampments are all from rent seeking landlords?
Here in Minneapolis it’s the number of murders, gang violence (territory), rape, and human trafficking.
Second tier issues are overdoses, fires, sanitation (which doesn’t sound like much until you see the people with fingers and toes rotting off), and crime rates increasing as they try to make enough money to feed their drug habits.
It’s a very complex issue. Much more complex than “the landlords are upset people aren’t paying rent”.
Heroin has a pretty high user satisfaction rating too. You can’t use customer satisfaction as a metric for legality.
His point wasn’t to find a CPU, it was to make a political post in a tech community.
LTT talked about this a while back… it’s because the GPU companies don’t want modular GPUs.
Your primary search term here should be the USB ID. Model numbers can help but so many things are rebadged or go through cost optimization where different revisions require entirely different drivers.
Plug in the device and see what dmesg or lsusb says. Search for that device ID, if you don’t find any good matches search for the manufacturer ID – frequently a newer model builds on older models code bases and APi.
