Definitely not lol, this one also went well

Exactly, your program using the minimum of RAM allows more for other programs to run and gives more memory for the OS to cache literally anything that isnt their web app, likely the filesystem, and that is a much better use of the RAM then letting electron or some such eat it all.

To be fair I think it is there as a backup for low temperature climates, the Lithium batteries wont charge at temps that low, but they still could have setup the lithium batteries as an emergency backup for all the 12v stuff.

In that case decimal is flawed too, 0.6667 or any such approxination doesnt exactly equal 2/3. It technically happens in any number system where you are dividing by a prime that isnt part of either the base or the number being divided

Last I checked the meme is saying the accomplishments are less impressive than they may seem at first, and I'm not seeing "Im not as impressive as I first look" as being "special".

A program that can run on 1GB but uses 2GB is more wasteful, OS and FS level caching and memory reclamation only work if the memory is available, and a program wasting it takes it from everything else, unused RAM is wasted, but so is RAM being used for no actual function.

Not to say programs cant use large amounts, but they should provide a level of functionality for the amount of memory used, and some programs of late have been more than a bit inefficient, in short, filling the RAM is good, but do make sure its actually being used.

Havent watched yet, but was there ever any update about GOG's Linux Galaxy wishlist feature they said they were "working on" at least 5 years ago now? That still irritates me to this day. Update: it looks like at some point they took the in progress flag off the GOG community wishlist item

No experience with the CF-33, but I did use a CF-30 and as far as I could tell, outside the WiFi (back when drivers for that were a problem) everything on it worked out of the box, never had any accessories that plugged into the more proprietary connectors but everything I ever plugged in worked, including RS-232

Do want to add, on the CF-30 when I replaced the WiFi card with a newer Intel card I had to shave off the power control mini pcie pin so that the BIOS whitelist couldnt deactivate it, no clue if they still whitelist WiFi cards in newer models or the CF-33.

But doesnt fall back put us into standard time? We are in DST now.

lol at equality and independence being contrasted directly like they are opposites and as if equality was bad.

And in spite of the fact that they at one point updated the community wisglist item for Galaxy on Linux to "in development" but I have never heard an update and I couldnt see it on the page anymore, but that might just be mobile.

As you mentioned Ubuntu's Night light, f.lux, and Redshift all work more like a color temperature adjust than like a red only mode, I found some people mentioning if you are running X you can use xcalib to set the color channels individually, but couldnt find a tool for it, not entirely sure wine would make that function work correctly but it is worth a shot, as for wine, if the version in the package manager isnt new enough there is also a PPA for Ubuntu for more recent wine versions, but I havent used those in a long time and cant strongly advise them, YMMV in installing them and keeping the system working long term, but I was always the sort with too many PPAs so I switched to arch to not deal with that.

Link to xcalib discussion here.

I say "cola" if it is a cola type drink, and soda if it isn't. Raised in the Midwest for background.

I think they maybe meant the gender neutral they/them, which we turn to "it" for the inanimate?

Edit: on second read I'm not sure

But wouldn't TRIM be the deleting he is requesting? Removing the charges would be setting all the bits in that block to the same value.

If it isvalready equipped with an Intel WiFi card you should be good out of the box. Glad I could help!

Cellular is usually how the vehicle provides Wi-Fi, it is effectively just a cell hotspot like you would get from a ohone carrier, but tied into the vehicle. So I think that would be the common way they get the data out.

I'll admit the age part isn't really necessary on it, I was just explaining how I was seeing it, if I had made the meme it wouldn't have been there.

IIRC the 3 hours figure was minutes and was for oxygen

That's the thing that gets me where I live, the cops have reserved parking spots but they still choose the fire lane, I guess crossing the traffic lane to the building is a line they wont cross.

No, because words that use repetition of the same series of letters requires a delay between each letter input

My flip phone just let me press arrow right to skip the delay for repeat buttons.

I remember under pulse I would have issues of programs like discord and my headset breaking the connection over the switch between A2DP and HFP or HSP or whatever the mic mode was. Havent had any issues since pipewire came along and supposedly took over handling that, but I havent used a Bluetooth device with a mic to test with since, so I'm just quoting hearsay that pipewire fixed that.

Non-metric or non-decimal money is referring to systems where the multiple tiers of money, like our cents and dollars, are seperated by amounts other than 10 or 100, like the old British system of 12 pence in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C2%A3sd

Personally I have never heard of that one, nor the drink, how is it pronounced?

When (according to about:unloads) my average firefox tab is 70-230MB depending on what it is and how old the tab is (youtube tabs for example bloat up the longer they are open), a chat app using over 350 is a pretty big deal

just checked, my firefox is using 4.5gb of RAM, while telegram is using 2.3, while minimized to the system tray, granted Telegram doesnt use electron, but this is a trend across lots of programs and Electron is a big enough offender I avoid apps using it. When I get off shift I can launch discord and check it too, but it is usually bad enough I close it entirely when not in use

Yes but you cant have the alarm's time synced from the phone, no alarm clock i know of lets a phone set the alarm.

Iirc they added raid1c3 raid1c4 etc to make raid 1 work with more copies.

My parents used to use Roach clips and swear that it is "good enough" but whenever I roll for them they get filters.
