  early generation computers fueled a demand that was being supplied by rooms and rooms of human calculators calculating and checking each other’s works for scientists, engineers, businesses, and government agencies

  they would not have died out, because they were a necessary part of the evolution of technology at their time. more importantly, they were more accurate than their human calculators. computers don’t forget to carry a number to the next digit or flip them around. barring exceptionally rare cosmic radiation events. and their technological progression fueled an ever greater need until now when tech has entered post-scarcity when it comes to calculating power.

  generative AI in contrast was an offering looking for a purpose. spare gigaflops no longer needed for tech people are trying to sell by building more and more hype for calculating power. sucks to be the one who invests into it, but that’s business. sometimes investment don’t work out. if microsoft can’t hype up a demand then it is unnecessary technology.

  not to the point of fast sloppy cursive so bad i can’t read it myself, and that’s what i get with windows after using it for years. linux apps just didn’t match up and i keep getting cranky it’s better to just stop.

  i miss handwriting input; both english and chinese writing. yes keyboard is faster but time spent writing isn’t that wasted for me, and my posture is better when i used a drawing tablet exclusively instead of mouse and keyboard, also i’ve bullied windows handwriting recognition enough that it’s pretty much chicken scratch input.

  agreeing with orclev - i setup an older nvidia gpu pc on linux mint and that pc has to have all other applications closed to play minecraft when it used to handle youtube video or actual video running and maybe an antivirus scan in the background and minecraft on top fine in windows.

  GPU is running (as opposed to when the driver failed to load haha) but some kind of processing is still on CPU, i tracked down the problem but the point where i figured out i need to keep up with the latest vaapi and compile it to just diagnose it i stopped and told the kids how to quit other programs first before minecraft. or bloons.

  It doesn’t really matter what kind of block it is. Vivaldi comes with TLS (Transport Layer Overlay), but it is not necessarily turned on if its an old install. If a fresh profile has it turned on, then all traffic leaving the browser are encrypted and cannot be tampered with. you can check if it is turned on–

  go to Vivaldi://flags

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Vivaldi has TLS active by default at some point for new installs. If new profiles also have that then that’s what is happening.

  The browser is not using the ISP’s or the computer’s DNS settings. So DNS blocking/redirecting won’t work on it.
