C’mon, your version of that is literally fentanyl

Wdym “Brits and”? I’ve only ever heard about that being a thing in GB, and I don’t think it’s all that popular there either

That’s a lot of % for the €

You cannot permanently record public places and you may not publish recordings of people (as in them being the main content in the video) without their consent. A temporary recording or live stream should be pretty much a non-issue, especially if you don’t do anything with it other than watching it.

And everything nice?

Free advice: The economics don’t work out.

I would have sold too. I don’t know what he sold for, but it’s probably hard to even imagine having this much. He gave up all riscs and he can still make his new flavour under a new brand if he really wants to.

I mean, it does look kind of cool. Can’t go wrong with matte black

I have tried to use multi-monitor and just gave up. I decided that manual tiling is good enough for me. I only need to sort my Windows once and then the stay in one place pretty much all the time. (Although, sadly, not necessarily over restarts atm. At least not without adding a Window Rule.)

That or you run properly designed software. Pinning threads to CPUs and separating data isn’t magic. Claiming “this is useless for [extremely broad group of people]” is just a weird and ignorant statement. There are literally people running servers at home.

Intel 7 is now […]

Intel 7 lines will continue to […]

Aka Intel 7 was already and nothing has changed?

I wonder if we will ever figure out something to do with computers other than gaming. Then we would finally have a use for the countless > 8 core CPUs released for some weird resson

Or the 90’s kids who buy vinyl today

Who needs housing, medicare, tourism, foreign relations, chips, rare earths, democracy, independent media, uncensored internet, demilitarized police, social security, general education, affordable higher education, a clean environment, worker’s rights, women’s rights, sexual freedom, separations of powers, separation of church and state and probably a couple dozen other things anyway?

There is nothing. They hold back updates and say it’s more stable. The thing is, if you set up Arch with btrfs snapshots, which is literally included in archinstall, you already have a system that’s basically unbreakable. (Although their setup is not perfect imo, but you can easily fix that as well.)

UEFI is a standard, not a product. You could make your own even

Yep, they used to. SUSE actually shipped a second version (or maybe just a shortcut with some startup-option) of Dolphin to provide “Dolphin as Root”. I think this was inspired by said approach

Note that you can share games from GOG, but it is illegal probably everywhere where GOG is available and if law enforcement ever catches on, you’re fucked.

Afaik this is not happening right now, but there’s nothing stopping GOG from poisoning your downloads in a way that ties all copies to your account

There’s coding and there’s coding. Just as you can use English to write fiction, you can use it to write a manual. Programming languages are the same. Well, maybe a bit more concise and confined, but the point is, you can flick around bytes on a bus or thousands at a time in CUDA. You can draw a triangle for a game or create a template UI with the click of a button and fill in the blanks. It’s all ‘coding’, but wildly different.

You might have heard about the meme that coders are wizards comanding magical stones, aka processors. Sometimes, we might as well be. Computer scientists come up with stuff so briliant that even the best of their own can hardly understand it. They write stuff that does stuff for stuff that does stuff for the stuff you wrote, and all of a sudden you did something without even really knowing what happened or how it works.

With that in mind, I can explain what I do in one sentence or countless hours. I write stuff to test stuff that absolutely has to work. The devil is in the detail.

Domino’s is ridiculously overpriced in Europe. So much so that I bought pizza there once and then never again.
