  • RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives

  • Well, well, well.

    If we go outside of dottted decimal notation of IPv4, we can have addresses starting with 624. They can also be in decimal, octal, and hexadecimal.Oh, and IPv4 also supports shortening from middle right in dotted decimal. For example, 127.0.0.1 is too long, often you may be able to use 127.1.Or you can go to Cloudflare's https://1.1/

  • I didn't have that, but I use Firefox Nightly.And I also just found I can no-problem go to https://revoked.grc.com/ 😬So it doesn't even check for revoked certificates (but at least Fennec does).

  • I am probably not the right person to answer, but to me it seems decent.Hell, under current conditions, half the price is in that RAM.

    Anyway, for the use case, definitely seems fine.

    Now, for me the minimum requirements for such use case, if Windows isn't required, are simply a 64 bit CPU, 4GB of RAM, and an SSD. SSD makes a really huge difference.It's now been maybe 2 years that it died, but I've been doing fine with a Core 2 Duo T7500, 4GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT and random 128GB SSD powered laptop. It only struggled when I tried to use it for YouTube... and when I tried Gentoo on it. The compilation took 3 days just for me to realize I screwed up something in the config and had no network.

  • What about more extreme cases, say Castaway (movie) type situation. Stranded on an island in middle of nowhere.

    But conveniently, one of the packages has a functional 2m battery powered radio and a Yagi too. There's no one you can make contact with, except... the ISS.What if the ISS was the only station you could contact?"Hello International Space Station, I am stranded on an island after a plane crash. Can you help?"

  • I asked a lecturer some question, I think it was what happens when bit shifting signed integers.He asked an LLM and read the answer.Similarly he asked an LLM how to determine memory size allocated by malloc. It said that it was not possible, and that was the answer. But a 2009 answer from stack overflow begged to differ.At least he actually tried it out when I told him.

    But at this point I even had my father send me an LLM written slop that was clearly bullshit (made up information about non-existent internal system at our college), which he probably didn't even read as he copied everything including "AI answers may be inaccurate."

  • I have similar issue with Google.At some point I used to use Google Photos backups. I wanted to delete the backed up files, but there's no way to do that. It would also delete them from the devices.And I guess it checks them based on hash, because even in the main view it always figures out where the files are currently stored, if on device, even after I moved them elsewhere. Otherwise these other images only show up in their respective folders, not the main view.

    Dihydrogen monoxide isn’t a good name for water, especially in this context. Hydroxic acid or hydrogen hydroxide make much more sense. Water only splits into O2 and H2 under electrolysis, not due to acid/base chemistry. You have to be actively adding electrons. In solution, it dissociates into ion states as protons H+ and hydroxide OH-.

  • Depends.I am in uni, so a bit different, but there's many sites that allow access to articles, studies, books, etc. to us based on source IP. And I guess it could be hard to route only those, especially if some of them decide to use Cloudflare or similar.

    Another option is doing so for easier monitoring of work devices that people will always try to use for things they're not supposed to.

  • Perhaps some do. Reddit has or at least had an onion address.But last I checked, they were blocking Tor IP addresses... even on their onion address. Someone out there had to be smoking something.
