2007 was still win2k era. XP era started in like 2010.

Because there was no point to 64 bit XP unless you had over 4 GB RAM, which very few people did back then. Unless you had a need for it, all it did was cause incompatibilities with hardware that only had 32 bit drivers, and use more RAM.

For a more egregious example, look at how long 386 PCs were sold with real mode DOS.

Apple says Face ID is more secure than Touch ID but is that even true?
Sure, Face ID is statistically less likely to return a false positive with random faces because faces are more diverse than fingerprints are but fingerprints are more randomly distributed, so the odds that you know someone who shares enough facial features with you (say, biological family members, for instance) to trigger a false positive have to be higher than someone you know having a similar enough fingerprint. Even though faces can potentially be more different between individuals, fingerprints are less often shared between people the user and people who regularly appear in his life, who are the most likely people to attempt to unlock his devices without his permission.
Additionally, if you're holding someone else's phone in their presence, I'd imagine it's harder to unlock their phone against their will by taking them by surprise with Touch ID than it would be with Face ID. With Face ID, all the user has to do is glance at the device for even a split second. With Touch ID, you need to place your finger -- the right finger -- on the sensor and press. It's a more involved and intentional process, but also a more convenient one because you don't have to uncover your face or position yourself correctly or make eye contact with the device in order to initiate the unlock sequence.
Shouldn't it also be harder to fabricate a counterfeit fingerprint than it would be to create a mask realistic enough to unlock the device?

Basically, Touch ID seems just better than Face ID across the board. The only practical upside to Face ID I can think of is the ability to read notification details without touching the device.

Is there something I'm not considering here or are fingerprint sensors just better than facial recognition?

Computers are deterministic when ignoring outside influence.
Memory errors don't come from within the system, unless there is an actual flaw in the part (which would require replacement, regardless of ECC status). It comes from external interference, like radiation.

This simple idea of having 2 USB-C ports CANNOT be done because it stops the zoomer from buying wireless ear buds(battery inside will always go to shit and unusable in ~3 years)

and you would be stuck using extremely affordable, high quality audio headphones or in ear buds(that are a bit too green for the planet in 2026)

also the 3.5mm headphone jack looks like a penis that goes inside a hole and basically why aren't you a wireless, constantly charging gay trans in 2026 right now.

I get you man, I lived through the 90s and today? Imagine that Crysis is almost 20 years now and it still looks GOOD even by today's standards. Sure, vidya might not be a good benchmark of all technology progress, but it still shows that we have stalled in some aspects. Hardware is vastly more powerful than in 2007 (although it has stalled in its own way - essentially being just buffed up hardware from mid 2000s) but software didn't follow. Instead of utilizing that power for improvements, developers used it to allow themselves to be more sloppy in their work, releasing shitty code is apparently allowed now because the hardware can make up for it.

for motion(games), absolutely.
for black levels, until oled it was superior.

for reading/creating text, never.
a flickerfree lcd is far more comfortable on the eyes. though many use bad pulse width modulation which is worse than crt, you go from rolling scan to staring at a stroboscope.

my favorite was the lg flatron 795+, one of the first with a completely flat screen and no annoying two trinitron lines.

crts draw horizontal lines, crts are analog, there is no a fixed limit to how many lines you draw, beyond the physical limits of the tube/circuitry if you tell the gun to draw more 2x more lines , the beam can hit the same phosphors twice , in such a way that the phosphor is only partially lit, you can physically observe this phenomena , I will mention that if you go beyond 2x whatever the mask is capable, you start to get artifacts, where parts of the color information is missing, since too much is obstructed by the mask.

t. have run a 4k signal on a 1920x1440p capable crt

if you have an apeture grille type crt this is less of an issue.

The only acceptable way is to keep all xdg-compliant configurations in /etc/ or ~/.config/,
placing all non-compliant configs in ~/.config/, as well, unless it's simply not an option, and keeping a directory in your ~/ where you cp -r all of your edited dotfiles and cp -rs the directories back in place. Then, root can take custody of the configuration files with trusted code.

>>107827232
No it's not.
Windows was widely regarded as a 16-bit DOS app. So they called the compatibility layer "Windows on Win32", shortened to WOW32.
Fast forward 15 years, Windows was widely regarded as a 32-bit environment. So they called the compatibility layer "Windows on Win64", or WOW64.
You need a System folder for the files used by the compatibility layer, and you might as well name it after the compatibility layer, so "System Folder for Windows on Win64", or SysWOW64.
