Yeah that’s fair. My RAM usage is through the roof lately, but it pretty clearly happened when I switched to a multimonitor setup. I’m much more likely to have a lot of stuff in the background now because it’s easier to have a lot open at the same time in the practical sense.
But I was lucky enough to grab a 64GB kit before prices went into the sky. Believe it or not, I was regularly up against the limit when I had 32GB.
“Starting to”? 16GB is just a few tabs open for long enough.
Assuming around USD $220 for a 16GB kit of DDR5, it now costs $27.50 more to run Ubuntu.
“0 64-bit Linux” is the hottest distro out there right now, challenging Hannah Montana Linux for the crown
Spoiled for choice is a good thing, and it’s one reason why Linux is great. I think the community could do better at two things in this regard:
Helping new users understand that the choice is not really a major one (relative to making the switch to Linux). Adjust whatever to your needs as you learn, or distro hop.
Not jumping down new users’ throats if they pick Ubuntu / Mint / Fedora / whatever. Again, the freedom is a plus. A new user picking Ubuntu doesn’t make an older user need to use Ubuntu. Let the new user have that joy of discovery how they want it.
I think if we all focused on these, the community would be better off for it. I’m all for a good ribbing about distros between experienced users, but it definitely can scare newbies away.
I’m not understanding the logic here. Apple killed their last tower. That isn’t surprising, and their user base is perfectly happy buying nothing but SOCs.
Then there is a still-expanding PC gaming market, where building the machine from discrete parts is a portion of the hobby. By and large, this has never really overlapped with Apple’s user base.
The article does a poor job saying why we should expect non-Apple machines to go the same direction.
Aaaand, if it was as simple as an executive order, one wonders why he couldn’t just pay the TSA the whole time.
Surely he didn’t just want to normalize ICE in airports before they end up at polling places.
Inb4 the White House calls it a “democrat shutdown” again.
Even the most heartless, unempathetic among us who don’t care we’re in a war must realize: among many other things, this is a shit ton of spending. These things are not cheap.
The man is (further) bankrupting a nation with poor decisions.
Name checks out. Definitely should have waited.
On Tuesday, the jury deliberated for only one day before agreeing that Meta should pay $375 million in civil damages for violating state consumer protections and misleading parents about the safety of its apps.
Not enough. These corporations operate on different math. They pay no taxes. They swim in currency. Pick the biggest realistic number you can imagine and then multiply it by the next biggest. Anything less will be factored out as the cost of business.
Case in point: $375 million is a mere fraction of what Meta spends in a bunch of different areas. Compared to profits, it’s practically rounding error. It won’t affect much.
It’s Always Projection™
Hassett looks like Rich Evans (RedLetterMedia), if he had a real job.
They’ll be coming right after those DOGE checks that have apparently been lost in the aether.
Trust me, bro, they’re on the way. Just one more war, bro, trust me.
Keine Überraschung
Never seen someone misunderstand something so completely.
Therefore, fantastic unpopular opinion.
The bill could heavily impact LGBTQ+ activities throughout the state
And anything else DeSantis spins as “promoting” pride.
Florida deserves everything they’ve earned.
His skin would clear up if he stopped drinking.
They’re not really supposed to be played like Mario. Sonic is about getting through the level aa quick as you can without dying.
To be fair, the game doesn’t really reward you for doing that (besides the time bonus). But the levels are designed for it.
Most people in the world want love. I hope the best for you and yours.
