I can assure you that before I set up Cloudflare, I was getting hit by SYN floods filling up the entire bandwidth of my home DSL2 connection multiple times a week.

I find it hard to believe that the environmental impact of having a paper tag per shelf which gets replaced maybe once a week is worse than the impact of manufacturing, installing and powering one digital screen per shelf.
Sure, but even then there are plenty of cases where a solar panel doesn’t make much sense either. If you’re cutting down a tree in the woods, would you rather grab your gas-powered chainsaw out of your truck and cut down the tree, or grab your solar-powered chainsaw out of your truck, spend minutes setting up solar panels to pick up the small amount of sunlight which makes it to the forest floor, and then cut down the tree?
The point is there will always be a market for ICEs until there are batteries with competitive energy density to gasoline. You don’t see solar- or battery-powered trains or construction/mining equipment because these things need huge amounts of energy to work, energy which can be easily stored in a fairly small fuel tank (which can be quickly topped off when necessary).
A hybrid car is a very different beast than a diesel-electric train.
As long as it continues being one of the top games on steam by online player count, and/or it continues to make them boatloads of cash?
Similar idea, but it does some funky translation layer magic to get pretty much native performance. The original project is called mcpelauncher-linux, iirc it’s been abandoned and forked at least once since then but I haven’t kept up with it.
Why does everyone always complain about Nvidia support on Linux? I’ve been using Nvidia GPUs on Ubuntu and Debian for years and it has never required any more effort than ‘sudo apt install nvidia-driver’.
I wouldn’t be so sure about the lifetime - spinning up and spinning down put far more stress on the drive components than simply spinning at a constant rate.
Sure, but the impact would be less bad if you have the same amount spread over a longer time.
How the hell is one supposed to avoid getting any erections? Morning wood isn’t exactly something people have any degree of control over…
Aside from letting you cram more circuitry onto the same size chip, smaller transistors means you can get better power efficiency and reduce heat output.
Basically, even if you just take an existing design and use it to make chips at a smaller node size, you get chips which run cooler and with less power. Those chips can then get you the same performance with better efficiency (e.g. same speed but better battery life), or you can crank up the speed so that you get more speed for the same amount of power as the original.
And as mentioned above, because the transistors are smaller, you can fit more stuff onto the chip. So you can make even more complex chips which also still run more efficiently than their predecessors (both because of the direct power savings from using smaller transistors, and because designs become more efficient).
No, it was compiled by the team which maintains my distro’s package repository, and cryptographically verified to have come from them by my package manager. That’s a lot different than downloading some random executables I pulled from a website I’d never heard of before and immediately running them as root.
Keep in mind that the “nm” in the different company’s lithography process names are basically just marketing at this point, and don’t reflect anything meaningful about the actual size of transistors. As far as I know, we don’t really know much about China’s latest “5nm” process and how it actually compares to others.
I would say the vast majority of people (across all generations) either don’t know, or don’t really understand how extensive it (the monitoring) is and what the consequences of that are.
Yeah, I know it can be mismatched sizes, the laptop i’m typing this on has 4gb soldered + a 16gb DIMM. My question was more trying to understand why manufacturers seem to prefer using one of each rather than just making both replaceable, since the hybrid approach makes it only partly upgradeable while taking up as much physical space as if both slots used removable DIMMs. Since it seems like this combines all of the disadvantages of fully replaceable and fully soldered RAM with only half of an advantage, why are there so many laptops which do it?
+1 for Debian, if you just want a stable, reliable system and don’t care about the latest and greatest features there is no better choice
I’ve never understood why so many manufacturers do that (laptops with 1 slot soldered and 1 slot replaceable) it seems like the worst of both worlds:
I think we’re still a very long way away from the point where the hardware for a life-size realistic sex robot is cheap enough for anyone other than a few rich dudes to afford, let alone one which can offer a better experience than a prostitute
Downside: it’s entirety manual and not scalable whatsoever.
Those people could just as easily buy slip-ons, which serve the same purpose while not requiring an app (or any other form of electronics, for that matter).
