  • One of reasons why I love Ubuntu is because it updates live and rarely even asks for my password. I'd use any other distro, but they all want stupid password for ANY update and some demand you restart the system. So stupid.

    I've not yet had such screen on any system. Is this LTS or regular?

  • It wasn't dumb from corporate perspective, which is why they all gobbled it up like junky hoovering on piles of white dust.

    You know how expensive it is to mold unique dedicated physical buttons for every function and then wire them all over the place? Or just slap single touch display and cram all the shit into that single display. You code it once and use it on all models. Corporates were already counting the money saved there. Until it backfired because everyone hated it, reviewers criticized it and now it's finally also criticized by safety agencies.

  • People need to learn how E2EE (End to End Encryption) works. It's not that Signal refuses to cooperate with Ukraine, it's that they can't from technical reasons of E2EE.

    Signal can't read or intercept messages, at best they can log IPs and that's about it. Which are useless if both parties are using VPN or other IP obfuscation methods.

    It's same with ProtonMail for example. The most they can log are IPs, metadata and subjects that are visible to them. And that's it. They can't access or read messages unless they create backoors on login page that access users decrypted data locally. That's why creepy governments are so annoyed by encryption (looking at you UK you creeps as well as Australia and also Germany from recebt news and I didn't even mention ones like Russia...).

  • Not really, just don't trap yourself into their ecosystems. Use 3rd party services that work on all of them so you're not trapped on either. I used iPhone for several years and because of using 3rd party cloud and mail services as well as password managers and browsers, I was able to switch back to Android without any hassle. And since I don't use or rely on anything from Google either, I can go back to Apple this moment if I want and only hassle would be just setting up all the services. Which would take me like an hour for all of it.

    Same goes for desktops. I run Windows on one of my systems because of gaming and the rest run Linux because fuck you Microsoft with your asshole arbitrary hardware requirements.I still have bookmarks and files synced between them thanks to 3rd party services that work on all of them.

    Sure I don't have a magic single button to log me into everything, but then again I'm also not a slave of anyone because I don't depend on a single entity providing me all the services. Password managers save me that hassle so it's basically the same, but ultimately better.

  • With undervolting in particular. However, for heavy overclocking and increased power limits, you need 3x 8pin power connectors. From 2x you get 300W and PCIe slot delivers another 75W. Top end models when overclocked can pull over 400W.

    Gains are pretty decent though, you can rather quickly gain 10fps extra which is quite significant and should be reachable even on 2x connector cards.

  • Or sharing profits among the leeches when it's going great, but when shit goes down they are begging for help from government and firing people. How about you not instantly take out profits but you build resillience through reserves and preparation? Lol, who am I kidding, milk the cow till it's dry and then make beef patties when it stops giving milk.

  • Last time I checked ASML is Dutch. Murican shit has no power on them. Especially since they control chip manufacturing ultimately. Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, Microsoft, everyone American can't do shit without their machines. So, ASML kinda gives no fucks about it. What, are they going to ban them from selling lito machines to Intel lol? To TSMC? That's not even American on top of it.

  • Too bad I can't fucking buy one in EU. And those that appear to be in stock, I sure as hell am not paying 1200+ € for this.

    Buying graphic cards has become total bullshit and I've been buying them for over 20 years now. And not only 1 every 5+ years. I've bought a lot of them. The shit that's happening now is total BS and this is what's actually killing PC gaming. It's not game services or consoles. It's this fuckery with BS imaginary MSRP prices and corporate greed from start to end.

    In the end consoles will kill the PC because there you get entire functioning gaming system for half the price of just motherfucking graphic card.

  • I've not heard about this movie at all in any way other than a single post on Mastodon and later review from AngryJoeShow. Considering I'm a movie normie who likes sci-fi, someone didn't generate enough buzz around it to make us notice it...

  • I actually didn't care so much about bandwidth back then even though 56K modem was ass. It was the ad banners that drew me nuts. Especially since that was the era of flashing and blinking GIF and Adobe Flash banners. I got 1Mbit ADSL a bit later and that's when it was even less important since bandwidth was unlimited. Banners were still there tho and were just as annoying.

  • Kofola

    Jump
  • Cocta is actually really good. It's fundamentally like any other cola, but with mild herbal aftertaste which is really nice and refreshing. I need to try Kofola tho. I was in Czechia few years ago, if I knew I need to try it I'd look for it back then.
