Title mixed up Wayland and Nvidia :) I don’t think you typically get a new GPU assigned on the fly as you select one window manager over another :D

An equalizer does not have to sum up to any specific number. Each frequency range is basically being amplified or attenuated individually. You are boosting or reducing specific frequency ranges. If you reduce them all equally, then the end result is that your song is lower volume. If you boost them all, your song is louder.

Of note: boosting songs may cause occasional crackling sounds. If this is the case it is because the boosting is clipping the top end of the amplitude of your signal at various frequencies. So boost moderately. You are better off reducing some frequencies and leaving the rest normal and increase the volume of the source to compensate whenever possible.

This is so ridiculous. There is a lot of actually creepy spyware (see Microsoft’s recall) and this is what he gets upset about? Pathetic.

If it improves video calls and regular calls, why not? I can definitely see room for improvement in audio quality when calling and would be happy to have a better experience.

Perhaps, but this is unrelated. The magnetic charges may still be there, but if the reference to the content is deleted, how is the filesystem meant to know what file is there? This seems really suspicious to me.

Kagi is a paid search engine. It allows you to uprank or downrank specific webpages. In that sense it’s very powerful.

You said running an imagine generating AI on your GPU is less demanding than a video game. While possibly true, the topic of water scarcity and energy demands are not about what one person runs on one GPU, hence my response.

I think the training part is not to be neglected and might be what is at play here. Facebook has a 350k GPU cluster which is being setup to train AI models. Typical state of the art models have required training for months on end. Imagine the power consumption. Its not about on person running a small quantized model at home.

Sure they can, but I think they would not be viewed equally, at least to me. I would expect more from the developers of the tool for which I seek support than from third parties. But to each their own.

No clue about this instance but I’m pleased to see in general the business model where the code is all open source and support can be paid for. That would be a pretty fair business model for me as a (company) customer, assuming the product meets my needs. One example of this is XCP-ng, a virtualization OS, competing against VMware, but all open source and with paid support. Great for homelabbers too

On this note, I feel it should be totally illegal to change the terms of services or user licensing agreement unilaterally and force a user to either accept the new tos (or ULA) or be forced to stop using the service.

You should have a third option being “let’s keep the old terms of services”/ula

One thing which has drastically helped me, if pihole is not an option, is to use Mullvad’s DNS on my phone. It helps a lot:

On android you can set up a custom DNS by going to: settings > network & internet > private DNS Or settings > network & internet > advanced > private DNS.

It does since version 1.0 it seems?

Using only signal in such a scenario is like using only whatsapp today, to chat with whatsapp contacts. What are you hoping to gain?

People could be using WhatsApp if they cared about it, but they chose signal for a reason. And making signal weaken its privacy for the purpose of reaching more people is against everything they stand for.

• The whole Pokémon franchise on gameboy/GBC/GBA/DS…
• Skullmonkeys on PS1
• The Crash bandicoot trilogy on PS1
• Abe’s Odysee on PS1

If you want to play them on an android phone, lemuroid is a great plug and play emulator. If you want to play on a PC, retroarch works well, but I recommend to follow guides on their website to get started.

I think the core platform user threshold is a sensible way to determine core platforms. I don’t know if bing has so many users and what its market share is.

I think the situation with edge is different though, it should not be allowed to be forced down to windows users by bundling without allowing the user to decide which default browser to use first.

We Shouldn’t Have to Let Users enroll Service With a Click. Customers may “misunderstand the consequences of enrolling,”

Sounds ridiculous? Because it is. Clicking the cancel or enroll button is pretty much what you expect… This is utter nonsense, obviously.
