I ran it under strace and after that it was never allowed to run again. I don't know exactly what it's doing, but it's nothing I want it to be doing.

If you get an AMD GPU then the web experience is a bit more performant, the Intel iGPUs are not quite potent enough.

I don't use that, since I'm not using Chrome, but it looks handy.

When you get a link to a zoom call, instead of permitting it to open a handler program or clicking Join Now, click the link that says

I don't permit Zoom to run on my Linux desktop, too sketchy. Instead I use their web ui, which runs in the relative safety of my firefox container.

Try Stellaris. The Linux port works incredibly well, in fact it seems to work better than the Windows port. It also will run on even low spec hardware and iGPUs.

Whataboutism. Canada has little to fear from US hegemony and a lot to fear from Chinese hegemony, it's as simple as that.

I've been using vim for 10 years now. I learned it by working with other vim users 1:1, and harassing them to teach me things. It worked pretty well. Eventually I cribbed their dotfiles and started maintaining my own.

Call of Duty uses projectile bullet models.

This is one of the lowest quality comments I've ever read on this web site, do you work for discount-trolling.ru?

How do you explain iTunes then?

Here's the link to the actual content, without having to "agree" to anything. https://am.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/jpm-am-aem/global/en/ins...

What an asinine question. Shame on you.

Here's a list of 14 horrible diseases that you won't get, because of vaccines. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/diseases/forgot-14-dise...

It's not up for debate. Get vaccinated.

You are wrong. Get vaccinated.

I don't think that level of snark is really warranted here.

It's the same as the solution to monopolies in any industry. Government regulation and intervention.

They already had tanks with treads at this time, so I agree.

Terrible news to get now, at what I would reckon is the peak of the anti-vax movement so far. Today a huge crowd of people blocked ambulances that were arriving at the hospital in my city, protesting vaccines. I have rarely witnessed such idiocy here, certainly never on such a massive scale. This story about metal contaminants will surely become part of their twisted repertoire.

Fair enough!

The uncommon need for sex and intimacy?

It's more that it seems like the paper has a very large axe to grind.

Gigabyte have a 48" 'monitor' now (an LG panel with Displayport 1.4 and no smart features)

Vancouver BC hit over 42C this year, and hundreds of people died because the region is not prepared for heat. Victoria, which is facing directly out to the ocean, hit 39C. Houses and apartments don't have A/C, and businesses' A/C is not robust enough to deal with that much load. I would bet on it happening in SF too.

I find it hard to believe that the current situation could get any worse for consumers.

So to recap, Canada without open banking: 5 big banks, impossible to compete.

I attended a webex earlier this year and I found the experience was far better than Zoom. The audio and video quality was better, and also the presentation controls were much more sophisticated.

That's definitely a problem, but it's not the only problem. Medications often have side effects, and sometimes for some people they are worse than the symptoms they are supposed to manage.

This piece seems pretty biased and it's disappointing to see Ars publishing stuff like this. Iron workers were dying at a high rate 100 years ago because of unregulated labour practices, and the progress that was made with regulation is a net positive. Not only is this basic historical fact not acknowledged in the article, there is not even any speculation on what horrors a deregulated space industry could have in store. Cmon, man.

No! Not even a little bit. Do you realize the rapidity of these changes puts our entire species at risk?

I live in Vancouver, and houses here cost $2 million if you want something approaching decent. The median income here is under $100k. Are you going to tell me this is fine?

Oh, deregulation is needed for flying cars you say? Well OK then, who cares about the safety of the populace. Progress marches onwards!
