Are you suggesting that OP should burn their ex’s house down? With the lemons? That OP should have their engineers invent a combustible lemon that burns their ex’s house down?

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’.
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).
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.
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?
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

Anecdotal evidence, but I’ve seen many old windows laptops with 8GB RAM use around 3-4GB on the desktop with no programs or background apps running.
Of course, but the original commentor’s claim was that writing a web browser is trivial, not that compiling an existing web browser with some minimal changes is trivial.
Displaying raw HTML? Sure a fair number of people can pull that off. Actually rendering HTML+CSS with all their many features and a performant JS engine is many orders of magnitude more complex though, which is why there are basically only three browser engines (two if you count Chromium as a WebKit fork)
Personally I’d be somewhat nervous using dd

Did you mean “… see is Microsoft take on Android”? It doesn’t really make sense as it is now, Google already owns Android
Wait until they hear about DNS root servers
My point was more that the SSD will likely have lower latency than an Ethernet link in any case, as you’ve got the extra delay of data having to traverse both the local and remote network stack, as well as any switches that may be in the way. Additionally, in order to deal with that bandwidth you’ll need to kit out not only the local machine, but also the remote one with expensive 400GbE hardware+transceivers, plus switches, and in order to actually store something the remote machine will also have to have either a ludicrous amount of RAM (resulting in a setup which is vastly more complex and expensive than the original RAIDed SSDs while offering presumably similar performance) or RAIDed SSD storage (which would put us right back at square one, but with extra latency). Maybe there’s something I’m missing here, but I fail to see how this could possibly be set up in a way which outperforms locally attached swap space.
In fairness, there has to be some survivorship bias here: if the members of a conspiracy don’t double-cross each other and are competent enough not to expose themselves, it’s a lot less likely they’d ever get brought into court in the first place.
Well, assuming you’ve already gone through the effort to write a custom kernel module to offload your swap pages to Google Drive, it doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch to have it encrypt the data before transmitting it.
