Oh don't worry, if this isn't already in 10 I'm sure they'll be bringing it over shortly.

If you have actual work to do then I would HIGHLY suggest not doing it on your main machine. Give it a month on a secondary machine before giving up. If you install it on a Friday night and come Sunday night it's still not working fully you're gonna go back to Windows and never go back.

To know what features people are using, how fast it's running, know what hardware and where it's being used, and to try to investigate crashing issues? Telemetry doesn't only mean knowing where you live or who you're banging.

Anecdotally cheap Chinese EVs are all over Costa Rica and even there they’re generally known to be garbage. Like how do you get a fairly car rusty in Costa Rica? Even if you live exclusively on the beach you’d have to have some really bad paint and 0 rust prevention done.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble , 2 months ago to linuxmemes in you don't need more 4GB of RAM

That's what makes it a joke. Does anyone here unironcally think the human eye can only see 60 fps or that more than 4 gigs of ram is just marketing?

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble , 2 months ago to linuxmemes in you don't need more 4GB of RAM

I go over 16 gigs regularly browsing the internet.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble , 2 months ago to Technology in iFixit hails replaceable LPCAMM2 laptop memory as a 'big deal'

Laptops with sodimm DDR5 not only use much more power, but they're also slower than LPDDR5.

Ex: the Intel Thinkpad T16 has 5600mhz ram in sodimm form, but with soldered RAM (AMD version) it's like 6400mhz.

Desktops/servers get around this the best they can by just blasting the power away.

But that involves clicking the link and reading.

We don't do that here, we just get angry.

What happened to sub $1000 phones?

They still exist, just don't buy the "Pro Max" model. The iPhone 15 is $800 and the 15 Plus is $900

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble , 2 months ago to linuxmemes in Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our unshittified experience

I think I finally found it. There aren't (officially) any ads in windows 11 yet, they just changed the wording of the toggle for the start menu to add ads as part of the toggle.

So in the 80s and 90s, Apple tried the wall garden approach.

Wat. In the 90s Apple literally had officially sanctioned "clones". https://everymac.com/systems/mac-clones/index-mac-clones.html

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble , 3 months ago to Technology in Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL?

Corporations (the only people who actually care about their OS being in support) upgrade their machines every few years so they've already done that. Home users don't know what that means and won't care. The remaining 2% have already installed linux.

As far as I can tell nothing has actually changed. The "recommended" is the same shit as it's always been, and windows 10 already has that.
