"Unused ram is wasted ram", therefore it's okay that every single application is a full chromium web browser using a gigabyte or more, even stupid shit tools like a disk imager for writing raspberry pi sd cards.

That's why it's okay that a gmail tab uses over a gigabyte of memory. Also unused time is wasted time, that's why it's important that Gmail takes several seconds to display the page every time you log in.

After you open Gmail, you're supposed to leave the tab open and never close it, so it can make sure you're using that gig and a half of memory, lest it be wasted.

Unused battery is wasted battery, so we need to avoid wasting it by running lots of power consuming scripts on every single webpage including Google search result pages, lest the battery be unused and therefore wasted.

Congratulations! If you're in a situation that requires you to be here, you're probably best off working at McDonald's, Starbucks, or the local Indian or Chinese restaurant. Beats actual unemployment, as humbling as it is.

Definitely revise your resume so it's tailored more toward customer service, however.

Nope, they work pretty well for their purpose.
Still images can't get away with multiple frames to hide artifacts, there are different tradeoffs. Abusing a video codec to horribly crush images is just plain bad, especially if you layer it with existing artifacts by converting a jpeg.
If people actually used webp/avif as the source format, especially lossless webp which is actually decent, I probably wouldn't complain. But nobody uses it like that, and you can be damn sure if you encounter one in the wild it's a conversion of another format degraded to hell and back just to save a few KB.

I'd get an access point/router for your office, connect it to the router on the other side of the house via wireless and to the computer with ethernet wired connection. Or that's what I'd do if there was something preventing me from just running ethernet from the side to the office. You could even ask if they'd be agree to do it for you when installing the fiber.

I think I sort of borked my Ventoy drive installing Linux. I somehow got the installer to target the USB itself. Now the first partition shows as unknown.

Funny thing is, I can still boot to it in UEFI mode and even launch an ISO or two from there, which gives me hope that not everything has been deleted.

Still, what now? I guess I need to fix the partition table somehow. I heard the Linux tool testdisk would do the trick, but it hasn't worked out for me. Maybe I need to run a deep scan with it?

Useful archiving efforts and other projects to help out with for people new to and interested in archiving:

HIGH priority (If you don't help archive these automatically, the data will probably be lost forever):

1. http://warrior.archiveteam.org/
Help out automatically archive things being shut down right now by running ArchiveTeam Warrior program (or specific containers) in the background
Requirements: Few GB of space, some bandwidth and small amount of CPU power, more info: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior

If you learn that a site or any online data is in danger of shutting down, read through this page and contact ArchiveTeam on their IRC if required in order to have it archived: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Projects

2. Help out automatically forward URLs you browse that are not archived on https://archive.org to them for archival with a browser extension

IEDs aren't knocking out a fleet of 250 Jeeps bro. Each one of the Jeeps could have both a machine gun and an anti tank gun or could mix and match with anti-tank artillery, grenade launchers, rocket launcher, even some anti-air, or some dedicated to air support and communications.

And that's just the equivalent of one possible replacement for one single tank. I don't know about you but I'd rather be supported by a fleet of jeeps with brownings on top than a single tank with a cuck cage. I know which one would make me shit myself more if I saw the enemy driving them into my city.

Why would they choose to use Arch Linux as the base for steam OS?

I am not trying to meme, but from a purely technical standpoint wouldn't a commerically supported distro like Ubuntu or Fedora make way more sense?

What are the technical reasons that Arch linux would be the best choice for the steam deck and steam machine?

Is Linux actually more secure than Windows or does having such a tiny market share make it not worth the time of anyone trying to create malware and find security vulnerabilities? If Linux was as big of a target as Windows, how many security exploits would have been found?

>Is Linux actually more secure than Windows
Kind of yes. The user and group permission system is much simpler and easier to understand for developers than Windows' absolute clusterfuck. A lot of Windows vulnerabilities are misconfigurations. But kernel exploits are just as dangerous on Linux as they are on Windows and will usually give you root.

> does having such a tiny market share make it not worth the time of anyone trying to create malware and find security vulnerabilities?
Almost all of the internet infrastructure runs Linux. It's at least as valuable a target as Windows and there is a lot of vulnerability research dedicated to it.
It is true that there are fewer virus scanners for it.

The progress in computers and consoles is over. Early consoles increased a lot with every generation. Now they barely change.
PS3 had blu-ray, PS6 still has blu-ray, or maybe it won't have optical drive at all!
The CPU from PS4 to PS5 barely improved. Memory only doubled. Almost no difference between PS4 and PS5.
Plus the games - old consoles had games, great games. Now only slops.
Progress is over, in fact we are actually regressing. Video games and computers are over.

PS5 supports 100gb discs, the image is wrong.

>>
>>107270998
GPU rasterized performance won't scale anytime soon because of fsr/dlss. Ps6 is going to be around 37 tflops, so only 2x(vs ps5pro)/3x. At least tv resolution will also stagnate and 4k will stay for quite long,
until they find more use cases for very big displays.
Basically innovation will mostly benefit to AI, graphic performance will be secondary and optimization algorithms will be all the rage.
