If the RAM isn’t soldered in, this would be the first thing I check. I’ve saved countless laptops for family and friends in mere seconds by simply reseating the RAM.
And that’s why creating aliases can be so beneficial. When one company sells off your data you can identify exactly which it was based on where the email was sent. Later you can reject all emails to that specific address and call it a day.
I use Smultron for personal work, and both Smultron and VS Code for work. There are things I like/dislike about each, but my main gripe with VS Code is that it is way, way harder on resources than it should be.
I recently had a terrible experience flying with them (delayed flights on a last-minute trip to a funeral over Labor Day weekend) but one thing I felt better about was that it was at least not Boeing.
That lines up with what I know about networking, but on the software side I figured it would chew through memory quick (especially because it’s encrypting it on the fly).
I realized recently that my Raspberry Pi 4 has just 4GB of RAM, but while syncing huge files to Storj I’ve noticed it doesn’t fill up whatsoever (even with slow spinning hard drives).
I’m starting to think for most things I do CPU is more important than having tons of memory.
That doesn’t really solve the issue of others near the public network being able to sniff out which IP addresses you’re connecting to. In fact, they could deny service to your DoH provider and force DoH not work (if they did the same to the VPN endpoint hopefully your VPN has a kill switch).
As for shifting the entity that sees your network traffic, that’s true and you definitely have to trust the VPN provider (and whatever company their traffic is passing through).
This makes a lot of sense. I remember there was tons of speculation about AR/VR around 2020 and Apple was preparing their machines to support that if necessary.
My MacBook Air is a personal machine and I don’t run the crazy stuff we have to use at work like Slack, Teams, VS Code. All those apps are memory hogs and the M3 MacBook Pro I use for work has memory issues related to running these apps. They should be lightweight but no one wants to use native UI APIs these days.
