It could be a game issue. I remember a lot of games had issues with alt-tabbing back when I used windows. It could also be a Wine issue. I had one game that started freezing when alt-tabbing after a Wine update a couple months ago. Rolling back to the previous version fixed it.
You can’t find anything on discord with a web search. You can’t even open it without logging in. Once you’re logged in, good luck finding an answer to a problem that was posted a year or two ago. That’s much worse than reddit.
It could be worse. At least they didn’t move to discord or facebook.
Single core? That must be more like 20 years old now.
It’s not uncommon for a single web page to use 5-10MB. Shopping and social media sites are the some of the worst since they have lots of javascript libraries and pictures. It’s not hard to use a couple GB in a day without streaming anything.
Modern websites are excessively bloated. That data goes fast.
I wouldn’t suggest relying on Google for anything. https://killedbygoogle.com/
Search and Gmail are probably about the only thing they won’t kill.
The transistors aren’t getting much smaller with each new process node. That means CPUs and GPUs won’t get much more powerful without making the die bigger and more expensive. A larger die size also means the yield will be lower.
Downloading bluray rips will give you the best quality. Any DRM should be removed when it’s ripped. Movies are usually 1.85:1 or 2.39:1 and will be letterboxed since that’s wider than a normal 16:9 TV. You can either crop it out, which will require re-encoding or just zoom in while watching it. A hardware video encoder will make the files larger. I would recommend using software encoding if you have the time.
The remastered version is also incompatible with the 32,000+ mods that have been made for the original version.
You can use MakeMKV to rip your blurays on Linux. Normal blurays are easy to rip, 4K needs an old drive with custom firmware. It’s free while it’s in beta, but you will have to get a new license key every month.
Just remember that you will be required to remove any illegal content that people post. I certainly wouldn’t want to be responsible for that.
Punch cards have been around for over 200 years. No electronics are needed to punch them. Some very complex patterns were created with the Jacquard loom without any computers. It just takes a massive amount of work to create the cards.
It’s not really 10x unless you’re comparing to something like an N100 mini PC. It’s not unusual for a gaming PC to idle around 100 watts though. That does get expensive if it’s on 24/7.
I just check it every hour or two and stop drying when it stops getting lighter. I usually see an 8-10g drop after drying a new 1kg spool of PETG.
You can also use the scale to see when a roll of filament is done drying.
386 support was dropped years ago.
It sure would be nice to have WebSerial as well. For some reason Mozilla seems to think users can’t be trusted with it. They could at least add a compile time option to enable it. If someone knows how to compile a browser, they are probably smart enough not to give random websites access to their devices.
I doubt it would work for the buffer memory in a high speed camera. That needs to be overwritten very frequently until the camera is triggered. They didn’t say what the erase time or write endurance is. It could work for quickly dumping the RAM after triggering, but you don’t need low latency for that. A large number of normal flash chips written in parallel will work just fine.
Wow, I didn’t realize the windows tax was that high. I thought the bulk OEM licensing was significantly cheaper than the retail price.
