  • Synthetic CPU and GPU Benchmarks will give you an idea which one might be faster, but in practice a previously "slower" GPU can beat a "faster" one in certain gsmes. Same goes for processors.

    And even further: having one GPU running CS:Go with 300 fps and another one with 3000 makes absolutely no difference when playing the game.

    I don't disagree with your expierence or the other ones. Might be actually true, might be the result of bias, might be related to other issues, it ultimatively does not matter to me as in my day to day expierence one does not surpasses the other in terms of speed, and I am not the only one with this experience.

  • It is no all or nothing question. Some things are obviously more secure than others. Locking your door with a key won't guarantee that there will be no home invasion but having no lock at all will make it much easier for potential threats. And open source software has advantages in this regard.

  • If someone wants to find a vulnerability they will find a vulnerability.

    only if there is a vulnerability. Which is possible but not necessary.

    The only advantage open source maybe has that it's harder to hide vulnerabilities for years

    Vulnerabilitues should never be hidden but in stead eradicated. The true advantage of oss (regarding security) is that your implementations have to be secure. Security by obscurity is simply not an option

    and it's more obvious if they don't fix it.

    Security also means knowing about issues. When "they don't fix it" in OSS, you at least (can) know about that, in closed source it is harder to be sure that the code is secure.

  • Yes but I prefer blocking everything unless whitelisted. It is not convenient, i'm used to it though. And since most sites rely on third party sites for consent management I can use the sites java script functions if I want to by whitelisting. Note that I operate that way because of security and privacy concerns and as an act of protest and not to go around consent pop up that's just a nice side effect.

  • noScript with blocking all Scripts by default. Most sites rely on javascript to ask you the cookie question. Of course that will disable all other javascript functionality which i have to enable manually if I need it.

  • There are 5 testing areas for this atm and only a handful of trucks which use that. These are hybrid trucks having batteries and electrical engines besides the main traditional diesel engine. So it's far from an widely adopted tech right now.

  • There is (Open)TimeLimit, which is originally an alternative to FamilyLink, but you can set up very specific limits in it (with experimental support for per-activity limits).

    Edit: dang, I haven't read the other answer completly, they also recommend TimeLimit, my bad

  • That quickly boils down to "How do we know anything?" and the answer to that is "We don't". When you think hard enough about anything you can come up with an explanation why what we think to onow and believe is wrong. To get around that irl you can employ different tactics. For example, you can check how plausible sonething is. How many assumptions do you have to make for a theory? Usually, more assumptions means less plausible. And you can ask yourself " why does it matter? What would it change for me?" and the answer is most likely it doesn't and nothing.
