I suspect the studies with small numbers of spread out participants are missing the inflation effects.

We need a study of a whole town to see if giving everyone extra money is going to make the price of everything go up by the same amount.

I'm hopeful this is a good idea and would likely vote for it, but I worry a bit that it will be pointless in the end.

Doom 2016 plays well on almost anything. It was the beginning of the self scaling graphics and rendering to maintain high frame rates.

Competitive (professional) gamers?

Seems there are diminishing returns, but at least some gains are measurable at 360.

Same. Also feels a bit safer connecting to public wifi.

It is being discussed because we're in the middle of the transition from X to Wayland. Before there wasn't much discussion. In a few years when it settles out there probably won't be much discussion.

Windows and Mac have never had a choice. There might have been significant changes to a window manager layer, but it would have been part of a larger version upgrade. Like between windows 3.1 and 95 or OS 9 to OS X. The visible changes would be closer to desktop environment like KDE and Gnome in Linux.

As much as I hate to admit it, the conversations that happen because I overheard another conversation a couple cubes over do have value.

Maybe not once quantum computers become more common.

Our current encryption methods can be represented as wave functions. This allows a sufficiently large quantum computer to solve for the keys in very little time.

There are new algorithms being developed that should defend against this. So you may still be correct.

The confusion is that CSV is also just a Notepad text file that uses Commas to Separate Values.

They are asking about what kind of values are in it.

Found this. I think it's pretty new.

Edit: the app link, not search results.

It is amazing how long a phone lasts without many apps installed. I put Lineage with gapps on my old pixel 3 and didn't install much. I think it would last a couple weeks if I just changed it up and left it alone.

There was a payment app (maybe wallet?). Then they killed it and forced everyone to Pay. It was terrible, and everyone hated it. They gave up on that and brought back Wallet. They are now ending Pay. This is a good thing.

Would Truenas fit as immutable? I guess it doesn't stop you from changing things, but doing so might break the next update.

Configuration can be exported. Disaster resolution of fresh install and restore configuration has worked for me. No data loss and even the Virtual Machines started right back up.
