Switching to Linux for gaming seems to be the popular thing these days and Steam is the choice for it. Whereas on Windows using GOG I can actually own my game and keep a copy of it, I'm not leasing it if the platform decides to just take shit back. Windows has better software support and freedom.

my guy all you do is get the same games and run them as non-Steam installations through Steam for the same ease-of-Proton. if there's something Steam-specific you're SoL regardless. it's impossible not to realize this within 5sec of writing your OP.

Fellow dwm adopter here. Still getting used to it. No need for anything else.
my “apt” unexpectedly killed most of gnome with a bad package. Went back to twm for a while, eventually found dwm.

No it does tiling, but also monocle and regukar floating windows, and you can pop out any window to floating individually.

Only bug I’ve found is it sometimes crashes with firefox on videos with carefully crafted unicode which dwm tries to put in the title bar.

How the fuck did some poo get my credit card info and use it in a grocery store 5km away from me? The card was never physically lost and I'm very privacy-oriented in my internet usage. Recently I've just used the card to do normal things like buy groceries and some small things from the net. Is ProtonVPN leaking, is some poo taking screenshots on my phone or PC?

Most lithography machines get used for decades.

A chip consists of dozens of layers and you only need the newest and best machines for the first few layers.
So when a better machine comes out the older machines just get pushed down the line.

In an interview an engineer from ASML even said he found it a bit annoying having to build machines that came out two decades ago but sometimes an old machine breaks and the customers wants a 1:1 replacement instead of an upgrade.
>>
>>107668132
Where are you interviewing ASML engineers?

so what happens when they literally cannot hire enough people to make all of these chips? Do they just stop taking orders? Or just keep taking them knowing they can't make them?

Nah, a byte has always been 8 bits. What you're thinking of is "words" (hence why early computers and storage devices talked about their capacity in "[machine] words") - which yeah, have been some wacky values over the decades. The first mainframe I worked with had 12-bit words, which we called "slabs".

>>107669275
this is more of a winbabby thing. they list KiB as KB because DOS did. hard drive manufacturers listed KB as KB for jewish reasons and windows users got confused. linux users also got confused because it lists KiB as K in cli apps and used to list KiB as KB in gui apps before adding in the i in the middle at some point. also KiB vs KB got standardized really late, like the 00's. and only deranged trannies use the real KB for anything. a 1024 byte "kilobyte" was og for decades and nobody wants to say kibibyte because it sounds retarded. linux calling it just K is the saving grace. a K was always 1024 and always will be 1024. but it could mean bit or byte depending if you're an ISP so you're getting jewed by 2 industries. i think neo geo also referred to mbit as mega. anyway normgroids became forced to learn the difference if they were to be correct but they didn't so now we have this thread

But they taught me in school that every bit halves uncertainty, so adding a bit is always 2^N+1 capacity.

Add to the Mac burger that if you don't want onion, too bad. And that if the lettuce falls off 2 bites into eating it, you'd better hope you bought the BurgerCare plan. You can try to put it back yourself but you'll likely brick your burger and it'll void the warranty.

Also why is that not a Big Mac?
