To be fair they called a lot of their “intelligent” features AiSomething wayyy before the LLM explosion happened. Their overclocking tool for Z97 motherboards (around 2014) was called AiSuite.

I pay $2800 a year to this company for Internet and TV - and I still have to watch commercials.

Wait. You’re paying $230+ per month for internet and tv? Even if I was currently living in Western Europe, a fully maxed out package there wouldn’t cost half of that and that’s without the time gated discounts.
(For comparison: tested with ziggo.nl, largest tv and largest internet package with landline phone comes out to ~€95/month)

Better still they had actually taken it and put in into production in place of the code that CTO had written, and which was the basis of the “correct” solution.

The test was just a set-up for free work.

Modern phones do a thing called “race to sleep”. If they’re awake every other background process also runs, so it’s beneficial to do the task as quickly as possible then go back to sleep.

From the description he put on the per track pages he just added a bunch of equalizers, compressors, stereo imaging shapers and increased the BPM because why not. Oh and also he added “audiophile grade” to the title for good measure.

I’m tempted to flood our Kconfig files with tabs just to prove a point, but let’s not make a mess where it’s not needed. However, if this idiocy persists, don’t be surprised if I start tabbing everything in sight.

This is genius.

I noticed only 4 people dumped their 3DS data and 0 people dumped their Wii U data in the past couple of hours, so there’s going to be a very small amount of extra dumps by Apr 8th at this rate.

This post and the cross-posted ones along with new people waking up in other time zones sure helped to boost those numbers a bit.

Are they really going to drop the resolution and the aspect ratio, the features that differentiate them? Will they drop the headphone jack and the card slot next, along with adding a notch? All of this while charging a premium price? Are they still not going to match the software support time of the competitors?

  • apt will brick itself if it gets interrupted mid transaction with no clear recourse apart from a total reinstall, so try not to get greedy and Ctrl+C if it looks like dpkg is hung

You can dpkg -r the package you tried to install then apt won’t complain about missing dependency packages for your app as it won’t be marked for to be installed

trying to install any software that isn’t already packaged explicitly for Ubuntu is a nightmare because there is no equivalent of the AUR for people to push build steps to and you’re quite often left guessing what dependencies you need to install to get something to compile

There isn’t a big global community repo per say like aur but anyone can host their own repos with PPAs, you just need to add them to your lists

Most apt quirks are there with Debian too, not just an Ubuntu thing. The rest of the things you mentioned are fair.

Wayland-Proxy Load Balancer Helping Firefox Cope With Wayland Issues (www.phoronix.com)

Among the Firefox Wayland bugs, one of the top crash bugs is over a lost connection to a Wayland compositor. For dealing with it is to have a proxy between Firefox and the Wayland compositor to cache messages and prevent compositor message queue overflows.

My bigger problem right now is a bug that prevents me from copying stuff from the url bar when middle-click pasting is enabled in the KDE settings…

What. For me it’s the opposite - I can’t copy stuff to other apps from Firefox if that setting is not enabled

Ah. For me it’s not the search bar only but also if I select text and press Ctrl+C/press context menu Copy as well.
Interestingly, if sites put something in the clipboard (eg. Mastodon toot Copy link button) it works anywhere else.

Not really. To have fresh dynamic content having to install a third party plugin is a bad take. Web development was stagnating due to IE’s market dominance.
