When you only need to hammer a nail every once in a while, any hammer will do. When you're a roofer, you better have a roofing hammer.
If you don't spend your life in a terminal and just need to edit a file, vim isn't for you. If you want to learn complex strings of arcane wizardry to not only make your life easier but amaze your underlings, use vim.
From a developer standpoint you're taking someone's baby, cloning it into a language they don't understand and deprecating the original. Worse, if you're not actually interested in taking over the project you've now made it abandonware because the original developer lost heart and the person looking for commit counts on GitHub has moved on.
Obviously these extremes don't always apply, but a lot of open source relies on people taking a personal interest. If you destroy that, you might just destroy the project.
Have to agree here, you can buy a Samsung branded 4TB USB-C drive that fits in your wallet.
I doubt the copy the theater is receiving is any higher quality than a Blu-ray release though, so aside from George Lucas style editing there seems to be little value in transporting the encrypted copy unless you first have a decryption method.
Those screenshots were taken on Sony studio monitors which are much more precise than home equipment. They're still available fairly cheap, I picked up a pair a few years ago for $35 each. It's the best of both worlds.
More likely avoiding a smackdown from the EU
I don't know if they're conflating rendering with display or just assuming those GPU are at max TDP 24/7, but they're way off on actual energy consumption.
There seems to be a lot of recent articles attacking datacenters, particularly those involved in LLM "ai" work. This feels like one of those articles.
I'm not saying we shouldn't keep them in check, but I also don't like being manipulated by "grass roots initiative" marketing companies, particularly on Lemmy.
Using the max power use of a video card to math this is ridiculous. It's not at full TDP pushing this content. They aren't playing max FPS 3D raytraced gaming, they're playing videos.
Under normal circumstances I wouldn't expect any privacy between processes on a desktop OS under the same UID.
If you use Chrome's password manager on Windows your password database is unlocked with your password upon login and is available to every process you run.
There's only so much you can do, as an app, to protect against OS deficiencies.
The desktop app on Windows is a sacrifice of security for convenience.
"about 10 years ago" in our house 🤣
I feel like this article took a quick turn from "Bing went down" to "Google bad".
I am glad more people realize who's actually behind DDG and such.
Most jobs include a 30-60 minute paid lunch break, making 9-5 completely plausible.
Your primary search term here should be the USB ID. Model numbers can help but so many things are rebadged or go through cost optimization where different revisions require entirely different drivers.
Plug in the device and see what dmesg or lsusb says. Search for that device ID, if you don't find any good matches search for the manufacturer ID -- frequently a newer model builds on older models code bases and APi.
