the program uploads the information to somewhere, right? just like the telemetry functions in windows. adding the domain they use to popular blocklists would help those who use pihole or something similar to that.

forced to pay? Isn’t it a legal obligation to accept being enlisted?

I love how the preview text for youtube videos is entirely fucking useless

we seriously need to get the reporting domain added to popular blocklists

hostname? MAC address? serial numbers? does "partitionx data also include names and GUIDs?

why would they need these? what is wrong with them??

that sounds interesting, but in this idea would those people have to pay for the expenses of the eldely? in my understanding the problem is not that the elderly wouldn’t be able to take care for themselves generally, but that they wouldn’t be able to pay for things they need or want.

as I see both fewer and more is bad. more is bad because of overpopulation, but fewer is also bad because of how the pension system works at most places

They call it a polyfill because it polyfills your disk

nah, but storage is cheap bro, you really should just buy another hard drive! don’t even think about going below 4 TB, of course!

atomic has had a meaning for a very long time in IT, don’t pretend that it’s something made up bullshit. with this thinking we could just throw out the word mutable/immutable too, what is it my computer is radioactive and I’ll get cancer from it? of course not, because it has a different meaning with computers, and people in the know (not even just professionals because I’m not one) know it.

atomic means that if multiple things would change, they will either change at once, or if the task failed none of it will change.
sometimes these are called transactions, suse calls it transactional updates. but is that any better? now the complaint will be that suse must have transacted away all the money from your bank account!

and distros are obviously not immutable, that’s just plainly misleading. we update them, someone does that daily. updating requires it to be mutable, to be modifiable.

what’s the benefit of packaging drivers that way? surely not permission separation

I think I have found something interesting, check my reply to the other reply

it can be, if the client downloads everything. I’m not sure if most Matrix clients do that, I think instead they use the serverside search api: https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#server-side-search

though, after looking at it, it seems it has more features than what the element clients expose to us.
also, it seems it’s not specified how the server should treat the search term. I think I remember something that with synapse, it is just passed to postgres as it is, but maybe a different homeserver can choose to implement it with wildcard or regex support

well search is not that good, it can only find exact word matches for any of the words, but otherwise yeah. though I think telegram isn’t much better at this either

and also, time of “saving” is always correctly preserved

Francois Bodson, studio director at Ubisoft Paris, responded as follows:

of course, none of the questions were answered

since your CPU has 16 threads (“cores” but not really cores, you probably only have 8 of that), if a process uses up all the capacity of a single core, that will have a 100/16 = ~6% cpu usage. In my experience looking for this really works… at least on windows, please don’t hurt me. it should on linux too, but there I don’t have it at such a visible place.

this may not work that much though when your system is under a higher load, and the process you’re looking for also has a higher CPU usage, like 30% or something.
in this case you’ll want to look for the cpu usage of the individual threads of processes with a higher cpu usage. if you have a process which has a thread with 6% cpu usage (in case of a 16 hardware thread cpu), then that process is at fault. by looking at the name of the thread you may even find out what is its purpose.

yeah, but hardware support and buggyness is still a question

yeah, VLAN interfaces and other kinds of virtual interfaces can also be used. I think you can even have multiple “sub interfaces”, that will receive distinct IPs from the local DHCP server

I don’t think they even know that there’s a possible choice. Common people don’t understand computers, not at this level.

Cars is a good example for another reason. Do we have new cars without a built-in internet connection and continuous user (and environment) tracking, and questionable remote control functions? Afaik we don’t.
