Like my Firefox profile data isn’t encrypted and I don’t see anyone sweating over that. This stupid chat history not being encrypted ain’t that different.

You also can’t leave bad reviews if you return an item.

I bought an item that had issues, wanted to return it and the seller accused me of sending back in a different item. Once I got ebay involved I got them to approve the return, but like a day later I got a message from the seller that I assume he meant to send to someone else accusing them of trying to scam them as well. I almost wanted to eat the $40 so I could leave the bad review, but I know ebay would just remove it or something.

To redo the entire UI?

And that’s probably why it sucks so much. If they’d just cloned the work flow of other programs GIMP would actually be good for amateurs.

Also the UX difference is worth the money alone.

Whatever makes RTX work is what accelerations a lot of AI tasks. I’d argue the 1080 is bordering on irrelevant if it wasn’t for the 8 gigs of ram to save it. The 2060 should be much faster despite for gaming being about in par.

How does the vGPU compare to running it on the bare metal? Last I tried things were painful but technically usable.

You have to specifically request that siri uses chat GPT for a request.

UI/UX mostly. Yeah you can do a lot of things, but the experience doing it isn’t as easy. Ex: gimp. Which has gotten a lot of hate here recently (and deservedly so)

You can buy .xyz domains from places other than gen.xyz. I have mine from namecheap and I haven’t had any issues in like 10 years with them.

Also some GPUs support running without the external power connectors/not all of them. My old GTX 1080 ran for about 3 months off of just the PCIe slots power because I forgot to plug them in. Newer GPUs are FAR more power hungry though and not all newer cards support that. Plus I’ve never tried yoinking the power cables while it’s on. That can’t be good.

Oh it will.

I wish they’d just change how that system works in the first place. Instead of “only share X photos with this app” why not just give me a file picker every time I want to share something with the app just like how I’d hit share to share a photo with a person. Once I do that the app gets access to the photo, once I close out of the app it’s access to it is revoked unless it saves it off.

So then take away the whole phone, not just the wifi.

My 11950H (and all other “full power” Intel mobile CPUs) have a PL1 of >100 watts (109 for mine), and mine a PL2 of 139 watts. This laptop is about an inch thick.

Nothing about this laptop sips power, I’ve gotten as bad as 30 minutes of battery life out of a 90 watt hour battery not playing games.

The lower power 486s didn’t even need a heatsink. The P3 was the first to take a heasink resembling what we have today, but damn did the P4s need some serious cooling.

It’s kinda funny how we think the 100 watts of a desktop P4 was insane when now the TDP of a high end laptop CPU is more than that.

I had one of those, but it was just called putting something on the calculator key.

Try decompiling it.

Computers in 97 didn’t need much in the way of cooling. A large passive heatsink was plenty for those CPUs. They’re not the 300+ watt behemoths we have today.

Depends on how much you value your data and how much redundancy you have. I bought a 20tb “manufacturer certified” drive from SPD the other day and it tests fine, but I’m not going to put valuable data on it. Maybe if this drive outlives my shucked easy stores I’ll buy more. But for now my main raid array is new drives only that I’ve throughly tested before installing.

Damn I’d be ashamed of that. 40 gigs is rookie numbers. If you’re not measuring your porn stash with TBs then you’re doing it wrong.
