Mediatek has been making phone SoCs since forever now, they have two lines - Helios and Dimensity. They’re used in many phones, usually on the lower end. Even Samsung uses them. Both lines have abysmal custom rom support compared to Snapdragon phones, so I don’t think you can hope for much there.

I just don’t have a wife. Even more secure.

We did it, reddit NYPD!

That’s what I signed up for.

Sir, permission to leave the station?
For what purpose Master Chief?
To give the Covenant back their bomb…

Haven’t seen this one mentioned yet.

Podman not because of security but because of quadlets (systemd integration). Makes setting up and managing container services a breeze.

Relevant XKCD.

The receptacle is the issue - it can have up to 24 pins (though usually it’s 12ish), all bunched up in just a slightly larger space than on a micro usb receptacle which has 4 pins. So it takes some good skill to replace.

Just recently I had a tech store guy gently but repeatedly insist to me that a certain USB cable was a USB 3 cable because it was type C on both ends. I didn’t wanna argue with him, but the box clearly said “480 Mbit”, so it was just a type C charging cable.

Of course the box designers were hoping you’d make that mistake so they didn’t write USB 2 on there, just the speed. And most boxes won’t even have that, you’ll just have to buy it and see.

But I mean if someone who spent their whole life fixing computers can get something that basic wrong, then it’s really a hopeless situation for anyone who isn’t techy.

And of course once it’s out of the box it’s anyone’s guess what it is. It’s a real mess for sure.

Yeah, it seems the sensor costs as much as a decent used camera.

The earlier parts of this lecture by Irving Finkel talk about what happened when they first translated the more original flood story from stone tablets in 1872. And the rest of the lecture is a nice story about an adventure, so I can only recommend watching the whole thing.

I was wondering if your tool was displaying cache as usage, but I guess not. Not sure what you have running that’s consuming that much.

I mentioned this in another comment, but I’m currently running a simulation of a whole proxmox cluster with nodes, storage servers, switches and even a windows client machine active. I’m running that all on gnome with Firefox and discord open and this is my usage

$ free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            46Gi        16Gi       9.1Gi       168Mi        22Gi        30Gi
Swap:          3.8Gi          0B       3.8Gi

Of course discord is inside Firefox, so that helps, but still…

What does free -h say?

About 6 months ago I upgraded my desktop from 16 to 48 gigs cause there were a few times I felt like I needed a bigger tmpfs.
Anyway, the other day I set up a simulation of this cluster I’m configuring, just kept piling up virtual machines without looking cause I knew I had all the ram I could need for them. Eventually I got curious and checked my usage, I had just only reached 16 gigs.

I think basically the only time I use more that the 16 gigs I had is when I fire up my GPU passthrough windows VM that I use for games, which isn’t your typical usage.

You realise that if that were to be “fixed”, you wouldn’t end up paying the low price, Brazil would end up paying the high price? One they can’t afford because they make as much in a month as you do in a week, or worse.

So much more. It’s not even in the same ballpark.

I remember people being upset by the ribbon back when office 2007 was released. Their complaints made sense until I sat down and used it. Found it to be a great improvement. I switched my libre office to the ribbon layout as soon as they added it. Because I don’t use it often, it’s great for finding stuff compared to looking through the menus.

The nice thing about the LO implementation is also that they added a couple of varieties of the design, like the compact one which pushes things closer together so it’s not distracting.

IBM argued that its patent, initially used to launch Prodigy, remains “fundamental to the efficient communication of Internet content.” Known as patent '849, that patent introduced “novel methods for presenting applications and advertisements in an interactive service that would take advantage of the computing power of each user’s personal computer (PC) and thereby reduce demand on host servers, such as those used by Prodigy,” which made it “more efficient than conventional systems.”

According to IBM’s complaint, “By harnessing the processing and storage capabilities of the user’s PC, applications could then be composed on the fly from objects stored locally on the PC, reducing reliance on Prodigy’s server and network resources.”

The jury found that Zynga infringed that patent, as well as a '719 patent designed to “improve the performance” of Internet apps by “reducing network communication delays.” That patent describes technology that improves an app’s performance by “reducing the number of required interactions between client and server,” IBM’s complaint said, and also makes it easier to develop and update apps.

All I can say is yikes.

The text is probably made up, but people have done such swap posts several times before and got similarly opposite results. Usually the posts get removed from the sub when someone eventually notices the deception, but you can still read them if you have a link. It’s a very toxic sub.
