The interaction latency of the web browser is mostly bound by single-thread performance.

If you're right, 1TB drives should last essentially forever. I'm gonna run out and buy 45 of them and make a 44 TB RAID 5 NAS. Same capacity as this silly thing, and way more reliable. Such a good idea that these people even named their company after it!

From retail suppliers, ATX power supplies cost about same as a lead acid car battery, or a little less. And they're a hell of a lot cheaper to ship.

Atomic clocks, star trackers, inertial navigation with ring laser gyroscopes, compasses augmented with a computer and mostly-up-to-date map of local magnetic fields... GPS is used because it's there and its cheap, not because 2026 tech has no other options.

The main problem with journald's binary logging is how space inefficient it is. The json export is smaller than the on-disk format, even though every message contains the same redundant field labels. They paid the costs of binary-format log storage and the only thing they got in exchange is tamper-evidence which is not as good as forwarding to write-only remote storage. Journald is slightly better for a rare use case (enemy action), but much worse for the typical case (garden variety software bugs and hardware failure), which benefits from verbose logging and long retention.

Michael Schwekutsch could never stand to be part of any project with a chance of actually working.

Well, yes. but that's functionally the same goal. The purpose is to prevent dissidents from attaining common knowledge.

I take it you failed to click through to the original source? This isn't about the file association for regular http:/// and https:/// links. It's about the proprietary microsoft-edge:// URL scheme used by your company's adware operating system.

The difference is that you can compress CD audio to 96kbps opus and get an essentially transparent result. If you only have MP3, your storage-constrained devices are stuck with that obsolete 90s codec until the end of time.

Human hearing does not extend past 20 kHz. Nyquist says 48 kHz is fine, so long as your ADC and DAC have good antialiasing filters. What does Logic use for downsampling?

ABX or GTFO.

Simple. When Republicans stood to gain from censorship, they supported it and Democrats opposed it. Now that Democrats stand to gain from censorship, they support it and Republicans oppose it. Which has left everyone who isn't evil scrambling to the other side of the boat.

But if you own a media platform, you can lie all you like. Restrictions on political advertising are a subsidy for New York Times.

Cooling a room from the floor gives the best efficiency for removing a given amount of heat with an air conditioner, sure. But it neglects the central objective of maintaining a comfortable environment in the room. Yer gonna freeze folks' toes off, Rei.

Particulate pollution from wood fires is a considerable health hazard.

You're right about industry best practices for hygiene, cost, and implicitly energy use and environmental impact, but, It's not fucking Tony Blair you piece of shit britbong.
