No, the problem is that windows is in schools and come pre-installed with majority of computers. Another problem is kernel-level anti-cheats mentioned earlier.

Exactly my experience. It has nothing to do wirh some AGI testing. It is just some kind of useless weird game.


Yes, they have. They’ve made tons of great products and services that you use every day without even thinking about it, in contrast to Russia for example. It’s a shame you don’t see how much they've improved our quality of life.


You must be confused. Most of the products that end in your hands were made by hard working folks from the Global South. All Westerers do is own the companies, the labour and the politicians from those countries. But don't worry, sooner rather than later, even Westerners will have to relearn what working truly means.


HP Zbook G1a (Ryzen AI max+ 395) is getting closer and has an M.2 SSD slot. But Macbooks undeniably have better battery life (touchpad, sound and display). I selected this over Macbook because I value linux and openness more. But it's true Apple managed to make some really good devices with apple silicon and the competition has a hard time catching up.

Before apple silicon, I was making fun of apple fanboys as CPU specs were mostly bad and it didn't make sense for the price. Apple silicon changed that. And it doesn't look like it will change very soon, sadly. I would like to see more really viably alternatives.


Monitoring and influencing majority is enough for having power over citizens. Real criminals will use other unmonitored channels, of course.


It would be enough to just show a single character (* or some other to distinguish) if there is something typed in and show no character after using backspace to delete the typed password.

It doesn't make sense to show the exact amount of characters. It just leaks the password length.


Exactly, it will have 0 effect on scammers. It is primarily made to piss off people and make it more difficult to install independent free software.


Recently I fixed my X11 tearing by simply running a compositor (compton). Not having a compositor didn't prevent xserver from working but it was tearing. I remember that historically it was a mess, some x11 gpu driver even had a "TearFree" configuration option.


I wonder how long those flash chips can survive with the OS swapping 24/7.


Very long. It was already a concern when the 8GB M1s came out.
