msconfig has a maximum memory option. Worth checking that to make sure it’s not set to 8gb.

Could also be that you’ve installed the sticks in a weird configuration. Often if you have 4 slots the board actually wants you to populate slots 2 and 4 if you’re only using 2 sticks. Details are usually printed on the board.

Or could be reserve for the iGPU, have a look in the bios.

Wow. I don't mind paying for stuff if it's good. But seriously $5/month seems pretty expensive, and you only get 300 searches. $25 for unlimited searches, which seems like an insane amount of money.

You’re going to need to cite some sources for these fairly wild claims.

You can notice it as well, since the browser is very subpar when compared to Chromium

This is the most egregious lie of the bunch. Firefox is extremely close in terms of features, performance, usability, HTML/JS/CSS support, developer tools, etc. It’s privacy tools are, if anything, significantly better. And once Manifest v2 extensions stop being supported by Chrome (which is coming next year) it’ll have significantly better adblocker support.

That story is so common. They destroyed Secret Santa that way. User-run thing that got some traction so they built redditgifts around it, then decided redditgifts wasn’t sufficiently profitable so canned it and took the user-run part down with it.

I use Firefox over Brave simply because I have much more trust that Mozilla won’t suddenly turn into dicks.

(Also because Firefox is awesome now, and because competition in the browser world is a good thing, but it’s mainly the probably-not-being-dicks thing)

Well that’s a glimpse into a horrifying hellscape.

Good. Aspartame tastes fucking awful. I’d rather have food that’s less sweet than sweeteners.

100% agree. I still have a 40” 1080p dumb tv because I can’t find one that I trust to not do something annoying/invasive.

I nearly bought the same one my friend has (Samsung something) as it seemed pretty inoffensive, until he told me it had started showing ads on the menu screens a few months after he bought it.

Haha yep. I can't imagine anyone's seriously using that code, and actually there's a lot to be said for specifying the fields in your queries rather then just getting everything (cos things can change), but not having select * is just ridiculously hostile to new users just trying to get a feel for the data.

But that's very Salesforce. They've redesigned SQL so it's "better".

Imagine that attitude applied to an entire platform. It's not bad, per se - it's pretty consistent, stable and mature. But it's certainly spiky and difficult to use compared to other ecosystems.

Indeed. It's okay though, the same behaviour can be trivially achieved with this simple function:

        String table = 'table_name';
    String query_string = 'SELECT ';
    List<String> table_list = new List<String>();
    table_list.add(table);

    Set<String> table_rows = schema.describeSObjects(table_list)[0].fields.getMap().keyset();
    for(String row : table_rows){
        query_string += row + ',';
    }
    query_string = query_string.removeEnd(','); //remove trailing comma
    query_string += ' FROM ' + table;

    Database.query(query_string);


  

Which I'm sure you'll agree is much more enterprise.

I mean, there’s no select *, for a start.

Personally I think “communities” is the closest we’ve got to a generic name for those things.

Block accounts can get expensive if you’re doing a lot of traffic.

The setup I recommend is one unlimited account and a block account on a different backbone. That way you can download as much as you like and the block account gives you extra coverage.

It’s not just AI. Somewhere between the “research” and “commercialisation” phase of every technology’s development it seems to transform into the most cynical, exploitative possible version of itself.

I wonder how much of this is Firefox getting better and how much is Chrome getting worse...

But, I don't understand. That's the scientific definition, how can they be angry about that?

Faking popularity for profit. Ew.

I didn’t call you a tankie, I called OP a tankie.

Regardless, my point was that OP is complaining about impersonation, yet nobody appears to have actually been mislead by it. OP appears to be complaining about it purely because they object to some other behaviour. Seems a bit disingenuous, no? You want to respond to that? Or you’re just going to continue doing mental gymnastics to convince yourself that calling someone a 12 year old isn’t name-calling?

Excellent riposte, sir. You deftly refuted all of my arguments, and didn’t at all resort to name-calling.

Brave have said they’ll retain support for Manifest v2, but realistically that’s likely to be non-trivial amounts of work, and get harder as their upstream codebase moves away from it and the internals get switched over from the old webRequest mechanism.

They’ll have to patch things manually to keep it working, which is likely to get harder and harder. If Google want to make it hard for them to retain support, they can do so.

At some point they may not have the resources to keep doing that and might have to decide between forking the codebase and losing manifest v2. If they fork then they’ll have a load more work to do in backporting security changes etc.

They’ll also have to find a way to retain the old manifest v2 versions of extensions, as they’ll disappear from the Chrome store. Might mean maintaining a separate store. The authors might not care enough to maintain a Brave version of their extensions.

All in all it’s not great path forward for Brave. At best they’ll have an increased maintenance burden. At worst it gives Google the power to force them to drop Manifest v2 or be overwhelmed by maintenance. But this is what we get for handing an effective monopoly to Google.

Switch to Firefox!
