I’ve had tab previews enabled on chrome for a while and never noticed a difference. I doubt this would on FF either.

I love booting up servers. 95% of the boot process is spent on the ram check. 4% is spent on the actual bios things, and 1% is actually booting the OS.

Even on my home server (a desktop with 64 gigs of ram) the ram check takes longer than the OS.

The speed difference between my brand new 7200rpm 20TB HDD and a random ass sata SSD is still astounding. Sequentially the HDD is only half as slow. But booting an OS or loading files the HDD is maybe a 10th the speed. Small sequential files is where SSDs shine, especially when it comes to high end NVME drives. That’s why iops are always included in benchmarks.

Windows on an HDD takes like 1-2 minutes to boot. A sata SSD is closer to 30 seconds, and a high end NVME drive is like 10 seconds.

There’s a lot more than just two temperature sensors inside your phone. Your screen has sensors, there’s a few chassis sensors, your CPU has probably 30+ inside of it etc.

The pixels is external which is unique I guess.

Man I’m surprised Samsung didn’t dominate this list. My galaxy S4 was filled with so many garbage features that I never used.

Samsung and their garbageware was like 50% of the reason why I switched to iOS for my main phone.

If you’re hosting a basic web 1.0 website you’re gonna be pretty safe. Just install Apache and call it a day. As long as there’s no exploits in apache and you only port forward for basic HTTP theres very little to go wrong. Plus realistically, whos gonna want to hack your site?

I do the same thing, but with gmail tags.

fuckwit+lemmy@gmail.com

Now if I get a spam email to that address I’ll know exactly what to block.

Self host isn’t that bad. Say you have a raspberry pi. Install linux on the pi (basically the only thing to do with it), then google how to set up a LAMP server (Linux, Apache, Mysql, Php/python). Once you’ve followed all the steps they list then now you have a web server. To get it out on the internet log into your router and port forward for HTTP and now anyone can see that glorious Apache default web page.

Then for a domain just find the first domain register and buy the domain from them. Once you own a domain point it towards your IP address (just google what is my IP) and you’re set.

Your web page is now on the internet and anyone can type a nice name to get to your page. Anyone can also use any exploits then find so you have to make sure you’re keeping up updating your devices. And every port you forward is an intrusion point into your network should someone want to hack you.

Yeah I wana know what kind of hosts they found Jesus.

Yes but what are they doing to get all these spam calls? Are they petty and signed OP up for a bunch of spam?

Are the ECUs actually remanufactered, or did they just pull them out of a dead truck, wipe them off, and call it a day?

I know the Ranger from that era has the classic leaky caps that kills it’s ECUs. You can easily buy a $20 soldering iron from harbor freight and $5 worth of caps and fix yours if it’s the same problem.

It’s at least the same inconsistent toolset as everyone else. Windows 10? Ok go through this multi step process. 11? Ok this other slightly different process.

VS Linux you have 700 consistent toolsets, and 70000000 inconsistent toolsets.

Chromebooks never really made sense outside of schools and old people.

The OS is hyper limited to essentially just a web browser, and android apps (so just a web browser). Nobody wants to buy premium hardware to use with just Chrome. But at the same time it’s Chrome, so you really need at least a good chunk of RAM. So it really just limits you to the super light use cases, but those could realistically be replaced by a tablet.

The other day we saw an extremely odd device at malwart. They had a $270 laptop/tablet hybrid thing with a fairly nice OLED display, and a snapdragon CPU that should have been more that sufficient. But 128gb of EMMC storage, and 4 gigs of ram. Such wasted potential. It would make a nice RDP machine I guess.

Does windows 10 have it? I didn’t see it in the start menu of my VM.

Honestly that is probably the worst type of zoom imaginable. Most websites have fonts set to a reasonable size, if you need it bumped up you can change it web wide. When I want to zoom in I want to zoom in on everything, not just the fonts leaving everything else disproportionately.

I’m actually kinda surprised that functionality isn’t in the new task manager yet. You can toggle on and off basically all startup items from there, but not add stuff.

XP-7 had this right with a folder in the start menu for startup items, just drag a file or shortcut there and it runs on startup.

Or there’s a lot of things where it works, but only in the way the developer intended it to.

Just like Apple or MS’s approach, but without a UX team to say yes or no; it’s just one guy’s opinion. Sure most things on Linux are designed to be flexible, but shit’s still a pain to find something that works well.

You know that there’s different use cases right?

Yeah Linux is great for servers hosting websites. That doesn’t automatically make it the perfect desktop user interface. I sure as fuck wouldn’t want to use a servers interface (ssh on a box a mile away) as my main desktop experience.

Just because the software is older doesn’t mean it’s unusable. Besides Apples programs you still have at least a few previous Mac OS versions of support. Both Firefox and Chrome will run on 10.15, and many other programs will run on 10.13 which is pretty old.
