What kind of compression are they using if a H tier 12th gen i5 is running at 100% usage? I doubt a laptop with that tier of a CPU has that great of an SSD that can saturate the CPU. Unless it’s single threaded or something.

Water is never lost.

The problem is getting, filtering, and purifying the water so it can be used again.

Mac OS is my favorite Linux distro.

since I like using it for movement.

At least the basic movement from that video could easily be done with a regular joystick, it’s just the developer chose to not implement it.

I have no issues with Cloudflare, but Anubis always takes it sweet ass time to verify me. Like 30+ seconds just sitting there, but then eventually I get in.

Yeah I was gonna say I think I have like a 2000 ratio for Ubuntu 24.04 desktop, server, and some 3rd one that I’ve been seeding since it came out.

I wanna know what the hell people are doing to destroy the ports on their devices. Like are you plugging your phone in then using it as a lasso? Are you smashing the plug down against something and bending the connector? In 20 years of using various smart phones I’ve never destroyed the port on my device.

Lint? Yes, but you can clear that out easily. But like actually destroying ports when they’re clean?

It’s all vendor specific on Android.

Standardized testing isn’t the end all be all. Manufacturers have wiggle room. Most of the time you can also voluntarily derate yourself. EPA testing is standardized, but there’s a surprisingly wide margin that you can test your car at.

BMW is pretty famous for derating their HP output so they’re closer to whats available at the wheels. Every other manufacturer will measure at the crank (the balls)

Have you worked with 3rd party testing companies? It isn’t the end all be all. Even in 3rd party testing manufactures get wiggle room, and can voluntarily derate their numbers. Especially if there’s any accountability for failing to meet those numbers there’s a good reason to do so.

If your reaction time is worse than 2 seconds I question if you should be driving. Driving is not a responsibility you should take lightly.

Honk doesn’t mean go, honk means pay attention.

Desktops don’t normally have S0 suspend. Laptops have all switched over to that and it’s a pain in the ass.

W11 is full of AI integration, always-on data collection, and other no-sell bloatware

Windows 10 is the exact same BS, but 10% less in your face AI. Have people really been frog boiled this badly?

Thanks to USB C it’s always the right orientation. But good fucking luck getting it in without looking or scratching the shit out of your device.

The one thing I liked better about Lightning over USB C was the rounded corner which makes it easier to slide the plug in without doing damage to the device.

There’s known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. The first requires a lot less brainpower than the last.

It is an option to play around. But for audio production you really don’t want to be trying to use a VM unless you’re fiddling with USB passthrough (which is a pain). Audio latency on Windows is bad enough, adding Linux’s on top is awful.

Are you sure? I know the successor the T420 supports disabling the graphics. I dont think my 410 ever had it though. It’s under display settings in the bios. Not sure about dell though, they might not have had it.

Lenovo’s bios simulator sadly only goes as old as the T530. But it’s config > display > graphics device.

Because docsis 3.0 standard is nearly 20 years old at this point and 3.1 is significantly faster. Docsis 3.1 is only 15, but 4 (which is still 8 years old) probably isn’t supported by your ISP yet. But the speed difference is quite noticeable. 3.0 will theoretically do 1gbps down, and 100-200 up, but 3.1 could do 10 down and 1gbps up. In the age of symmetrical fiber internet those upload speeds are dire. 3.1 realistically gets you a symmetrical gig connection.

I had truck nuts on my Outback. They were bright pink.

Yeah IoT devices don’t need bandwith, they need range (at low powers) and those lower frequencies get them that. 6ghz wifi has pretty small range and is awful for IoT stuff.
