By GDPR this is illegal. But I assume no action will be forthcoming

Microsoft pretty much abandoned desktop as is. They are just squeezing out what is left. Their main cash now is azure and office365. And they expect it to be AI next. Kinda obvious by the where the effort goes.

Not true. No way to even play those games in Linux....

Your desktop is set to focus where mouse cursor is not where you click. Usually can be changed. Also in conjunction with that the game is set to freeze when it loses focus. So maybe you can change that in game.

I had great success in such cases by just overriding the compatibility tool used, most often to just some version of proton. Default sometimes just does not work.

I must assume the justification was "it is cool". especially considering they also placed capacitive touch "buttons" on the steering wheel. Those are the worst of both worlds in every case imaginable.

Well, he cashed in 2 billion of govt money for the moon mission and that doesn't look like it will fly.

Yeah, Falcon rockets are a regular workhorse kinda rockets. Nothing special about them. NASA could have made their own but someone decided it needs to be outsourced.

I mean they did a fine job there, but nothing to write home about IMHO.

And on the topic of reusability I can't really find much info besides that it is just partially reusable. Not sure what the point of it actually is. I guess what matters is the launch price?

The question I still have it, wasn't SpaceX supposed to get USA back on the moon? And I heard they got billions in subsidies but have nothing to show for it.

Sure, but the original Tesla car received exactly 0 Musk input. That was pretty much a done design when he bought the company. And ofc he ousted the original designers and tried to erase them from history. And the model 3 is pretty much building upon that.

Specs and price of this are perfect, but I want AMD. Guess too picky? Anyone knows of a similar product with AMD CPU?

Something similar to reset PC would be snapshots and immutable systems.

Touch is notorious for there are very few touch sensors that actually have drivers for linux and vendors keep using unsupported ones.

Hybrid sleep... is actually a big problem as it replaced the regular sleep and now we are all in some deep deep muck.

And fractional scaling works fine on wayland, it is a recent feature of the last 1-2 years but seems to have stabilized.

Oh? But the site is processing IP address when the web server logs your visit. Maybe I missed a part of GDPR somewhere, guess I gotta re-read it.

I guess you have a point there.

I am trying to imagine a scenario where you just track the actual conversions (sales) and the only datapoint is where your customer originated from, something akin to podcasts/youtube giving affiliate links. That could work right? Or maybe I am missing something. If I am not it feels like the current model only benefits the middle man and is detrimental to everybody else.

Do you see how the discourse has been shifted here? Some of us have nothing against ads per-se. We care about tracking.

How does tracking me and invading my privacy make ads perform better? In my case it does not. As the tracked ads are usually worse as they will keep advertising me things I don't need anymore. Context based ads worked fine in the past and I don't really see why they cannot.

Also why does every web store need to show me ads? Don't they make money out of selling things? If they really have to, do they have to invade privacy? This is like walking into a physical store and them doing facial recognition, then showing you tailored ads/inventory. That feels creepy to me.

Biggest issue with this is the modern web ads don't even work.

You get ads for fridge AFTER you bought one since they now know you browsed them.

What works is content based advertising - so advertise a power drill on a woodworking hobbyist site. No tracking required there. Conversion can be obtained when user clicks a link via redirect. Like in the good ol times.

But this modern approach that massively invades privacy has been sold to businesses and now they require it even though it is probably ineffectual.

Another backhanded way to forbid opensource solutions? Because now they will argue we need secure booted tamper-proof windows/mac os to make sure the proof is legit.

You can have first party trackers. That is not so hard. Every site onto itself is a first party tracker, but if your developers can't do it there are opensource solutions available to host.

you CAN use analytics! Just need to use first party analytics... it is not so hard to set up, there are many opensource self-hosted options.

I hate how everyone and their mother ships all my data to google and others just because they can.

By not tracking and setting any third party cookies. Just using strictly functional cookies is fine, just put a disclaimer somewhere in the footer and explain as those are already allowed and cannot be disabled anyway.

The main selling point of ZFS is it being monolithic. Because of that it can optimize many things that are impossible in a layered approach.

I skimmed the article, but why is everyone always going for distributed cache? What is wrong with in-memory cache? Lowest latency, fast, easy to implement.

Yeah ok, you have 30 million entries? Sure.

You need to sync something over multiple nodes? Not sure I would call that a cache.

Interestingly enough my clevo (from tuxedo) does not have a gpu switch in firmware...

I have a tuxedo 14" i7-12700H with 3050. And it is terrible. Specs are nice, price was hefty, but in the end it does not deliver. Battery is horrible, charging is disruptive, power budget is not enough. All stems from the nvidia card that I paid serious bucks to get included but it makes a decent laptop into a very bad one as the power delivery system just does not seem to be able to cope with it.

Anyway I would go with FRAMEWORK there. Sadly they did not deliver to my address when I was in the market, but now they do.

Hopefully latest Tuxedo does have better hardware support? Mine has problems with charging, usb-c charging is even worse (slow charge normal performance or ok charge and 5W throttling which makes all cores go at 1GHz), battery saving feature that hides 10% of battery capacity in firmware etc. They also stopped delivering any firmware updates after a few months.

Since when are companies required to run servers for multiplayer? There is always other ways to play multiplayer. At least there used to be but not any more. It is just a thinly veiled excuse to be able to shut it off.

Fully agree with what you are saying.

I do have some beef with the prices of these electronic gadgets in the car. 300€ price for a new sensor or something similar? Sensor costs are usually a single digit or below. Somehow vendors found a way to inflate that price and this is destroying the repairability.

In my opinion the biggest problem is people who design roads/infrastructure don't bike. When they bike they will know what to do and how to pay attention.

So right now there is this huge push in EU to make more bike infrastructure. But people making it ... don't bike. At least not everywhere. And where they don't they will inevitably make bad bike infrastructure. This could just be corners that are too tight. Bad incline on a corner for example will not be obvious to someone who never bikes, could be just a few degrees. But on a bike it's deadly! Maybe not on dry asphalt, but bring some rain, sand, whatever and people will fall.

And then we can start talking about culture.

The consequence game does not work on Linux as far as I am aware. Interesting in the time when most of the other games do.

This is so funny.

So chromium came from WebKit, which in turn came from KHTML which was ... a KDE web engine :D

I'd say mobile phones are worse, many more produced so even considering phone size. And harder to take apart even though laptops are getting worse. But this is all anecdotal, don't have any hard info.

Lower voltage would be OK, but then all of the cables and plugs would need to be redesigned. And there would still need to be for voltage switching unless we start adding a protocol and have PSU switch voltage dynamically... which is also not efficient.

Since they went so far to create a new cable which wont be available on old PSU they would have easily extended that slightly and introduced an entirely new PSU class which has a new voltage also. But now they went the easy route and it failed which is even worse as they will have to redesign it now instead of it being safely done the first time.
