AFAIK OpenWRT doesn't use openssh
kasabali··on Microsoft fixes a Windows 11 annoyance as PC revenue declines
Are you fucking kidding me? crypto bros were angels compared to these spawns of Satan ai bros. at least during crypto craze only GPUs were on short supply and nobody except gamers were affected. RAM and storage prices affect every single consumer electronic device thus everyone.

those aren't package managers rather a catalog of automated installer switches.
kasabali··on Oldest GUI application that still runs on Windows 11
They did follow user's color scheme properly until MS removed that control panel item and replaced it with a half ass implementation which only applied to taskbar and titlebar. So, no, it wasn’t “hardly maintained” it was deliberate breakage like all the other boneheaded decisions during Windows 8 development.

BIOS had ACPI, too, so I'm not sure how it contributes to the argument.

Nope

Compare latest Chrome to version 30 or something and toolbars are almost double the height.
kasabali··on Why Windows 11 still ships with Windows 95's memory manager hidden inside it
Thanks!

I've read that comment at time and saved it somewhere, then when I remembered there was something like that I searched for hours yet couldn't find it.

kasabali··on Linux 7.3
Because Samba is GPLv3
kasabali··on Firefox version 157 is round (and how to make it less round)
Paste chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml into url bar then add it to bookmarks bar.
kasabali··on Redditor buys used CPU, turns out it was banned on Valorant and they are SoL
I understand that and I still say games shouldn't have the ability to do this.
kasabali··on PS5 Relapse Exploit
who died and made you the arbitrator of deciding the "main use case"
kasabali··on PS5 Relapse Exploit
irresponsible of what? allowing people use the hardware they own as they wish?
kasabali··on How did AMD Ryzen get 50% faster in two years?
DDR5 has always been twice as expensive as DDR4. But yeah when they were a lot cheaper maybe it didn't matter as much as it does now.
kasabali··on How did AMD Ryzen get 50% faster in two years?
its manufactured on a smaller node so probably has more leeway for higher freq on all core loads.

I’d also be weary of single core scores,Geekbench is known to be favoring specialized instruction sets like AVX or encryption extensions more and more as the version number progresses. Though I don’t know if GB6 is also like this I wouldn’t be surprised it it was caused by it.

kasabali··on Show HN: Microsoft Office running with Wine on Linux with no virtualization
The problem with this is Microsoft foresaw it and pushed (bribed?) OOXML through ISO and now there's no standing on "forcing" an open standard without OOXML being one.
kasabali··on The case against JPEG XL
Sure, if you ignore PQ completely.

Not that libjpeg-turbo is pinnacle of quality but hardware encoders, seriously?

kasabali··on Microsoft patches Windows and Excel – breaks audio, remote access, and paste
joke's on you, it has never worked for me.
kasabali··on What algorithm did Windows XP use to choose your initial user picture?
IMO Aero parts looked phenomenal but older Win32 parts like toolbars etc. didn't fit and looked odd

That's every year since it's introduction

kasabali··on GrapheneOS Overhauled Default Apps and Secure Clipboard
That's textbook FUD.

xdotool and wmctrl is what you need
kasabali··on O&O ShutUp10 – The antispy tool for Windows 10 and 11
It may be 20 less but still hundreds. I'll never understand the LTSC advocacy, it is still the same thing except they mopped up the most disgusting looking liquid seeping out to the floor but didn't touch the huge turd sitting in the middle.

> - 100% minimal designed for absolute performance coded ground up in rust

Rust didn't exist in 90s yet Windows' performance was pretty good speed, consumption or bloat-wise.

> https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator made all those tools obsolete and useless for the most part, "debloating" after it's installed is always bad business.

Unattended is no "magic". Go ahead and inspect the xml file created by that utility, all the customization and debloating is practically same as running a script post install.

If you really want to debloat before it's installed you want this: https://ntlite.com/

kasabali··on Play Store blocks AuroraStore, hurting GrapheneOS users
Play services isn't an "app", it's a highly privileged system service that has access to everything and some more.

> You can create an account with no phone number during Android device setup.

Yeah now they have IMEI and all the other device specific info anyway they might as well forego the phone number

> For extra privacy, you can sign into the Play Store with a Google Account that isn't tied to anything else.

I dare you try creating a Google account that isn't tied to anything else.

Nowadays you can't even create an account in desktop browser without first having to scan a qr code from a mobile device first.

kasabali··on Google forces Android apps to use memory more wisely as RAMpocalypse rages
"For a device with 8 GB, an app can use no more than 2.25 GB in the foreground, 1.5 GB for user-perceived services, and 1.5 GB in the background"

These are still very generous limits I doubt that'll help at all
