  • you’re going to have a lot of difficulty and it’s going to be pretty expensive running high voltage lines across these railroads.

    It's worked just fine for the past century

  • A lot of them do, but there are also ones with mechanical or hydraulic transmission.

  • Ktorrent can do it. It's got a built in media player, and if you watch a file in it, it will try to download it sequentially.

  • This is very outdated.

    • Catalyst doesn't exist anymore, it was replaced by AMDGPU-PRO years ago.
    • The Radeon Mesa driver (radeonsi) is generally faster than AMDGPU-PRO OpenGL for gaming, and has been for years. On the Vulkan side, performance is usually fairly close between the Mesa driver (RADV), AMDVLK and AMDGPU-PRO.
    • AMDGPU is just the kernel driver, which is used by both the Mesa drivers and AMDGPU-PRO, so why is it listed separately?
    • For Intel, I think the hardware was holding it back more than the driver, especially since they've replaced the classic Mesa drivers with Gallium based ones. But now they're doing the Arc stuff.
    • I don't know if I would say that Nvidia proprietary runs well
  • Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.

    And also a lot of things that remain unpatched for years

  • The main thing that keeps me from running messaging applications in the browser is the lack of a tray icon

  • I'd also like to add that all lossy audio must be Opus (or codec 2)

  • How do you migrate a Windows VM to virt-manager (without any risk of invalidating the license)?

  • Videos should be AV1

  • Or he didn't realize he needed to activate it, just like window shading

  • Your point 1 and 2 are the same

    a - app + dependencies

    Which will be duplicated for everything installed application, and redownloaded for every new version. Whereas flatpak and snappy shares the dependencies between applications.

    s/f - flatpak run com.very.easy.to.remember.and.type.name

    Snappy makes easily run command line shortcuts. Flatpak could use some improvements there though.

  • Are engineers a separate species?

  • It's not gonna be better than turning the screen off.

  • Without the recently added wp-fractional-scale-v1, yes, it will do that if you use fractional scales (albeit per window rather than per monitor). Not however if you stick to integer scales, as they might do in the 1080p+4k use case.

  • That's not at all the same thing. That requires downscaling some screens, which makes everything blurry and breaks subpixel AA.

  • I don't understand why we can't just make 1 G=1 G, ditch the silly contex-sensitive-prefixes nonsense, and call it a day.

    I blame memory manufacturers. They're the ones who started this whole 1 GB sometimes= 1024 MB bullshit.

  • When talking about computers, it was always 1024.

    No. Hard drive sizes are always given with decimal prefixes. Always have been.
