  Just put them in a closet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We already have windows for that. I know I don’t want linux to be another windows. And if it means people won’t use it, so be it.

  I stopped using windows thirty fucking years ago, it’s not going to be forced upon me because some wankers can’t rtfm and think all operating systems are the same. I think those people should just use a tablet.

  You’re thinking of CP/M, right?

  You can also use “doigts de pied” in French, so you can be whichever colour you like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US demands access to tourists' social media histories⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s “US tourism”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does this count?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s entirely possible that nobody actually knows.

  "Ah yes I see the problem. The cigarettes have to be unlit. We’ll mention it in the next edition. "

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introverts Rock⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s my main problem with group/family vacations. A whole week (or more) with people everywhere all the time. It takes me a lot of time to recover. It’s absolutely exhausting.

  Hey mister, i want to pee, if you value your pc you better do something about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tumpball it is!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman’s Dirty DRAM Deal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just a few more billions guys, real close now! Maybe a few dozen more after that, but it’s really getting there!
  Oh, look a squirrel!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s many new jobs opening in the AI sector, pedalling on dynamo bikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your sims will have to pause five times per day to pray.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Their fucking calculator can’t even calculate. Big fucking whoop.

  And people keep shovelling money in their bottomless maw. The world is mad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beware of flashbangs in the latest Windows 11 updates⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows never was a reference of clean programming, but it seems to me that the UI bugs in 11 are much worse than in previous versions. Which suggests that many other invisible bugs are present in the core system.

  Disclaimer: I don’t use windows much, so I might be wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how does it happen every time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fish meal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They do much worse than that. (Also fish don’t actually fuck)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix kills casting from phones⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But then won’t your rack look a bit empty?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How could you do this to me?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re all pretty much the same. If you find a distribution that works with your hardware, it will perform the same as the next one.
  The few differences will matter (or not) once you’re experienced with the system.

  In short, don’t worry about it.

  1080 will look a bit small on my screen, but if that’s what I have to put up with…

  That’s when I build my current machine. Looks like upgrading is off the menu. Again.

  Hyundai is a member, of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant without dedicated circuits, obviously. Can’t it be parallelised? Many cpus have a lot of relatively idle cores at a given time…

  I remember that my 486 had trouble with mp3 files, but soon enough, I got a new machine with many more spare cycles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t current CPUs decode it in real time?
