Apple considered switching to DuckDuckGo from Google for Safari - Bloomberg News
  • I know. That's my point. A great example of this is when they used to brag about how eco-friendly their product were. I remember them bragging about their displays being mercury-free, BFR free, etc and their laptops having totally recyclable aluminum and glass enclosures - only to later deliberately make their laptops nearly impossible to repair and upgrade.

  • In a ‘bone-headed’ move, the UK to roll back gas car phase-out and other net zero policies
  • Probably because by the time most folks sell their EV's, they need new batteries, which aren't cheap and add a lot to the cost of the vehicle. Depending on the EV, the cost of a replacement battery can vary between $5,000 and $20,000.

  • Over half of Americans say they're not even close to financial freedom
  • Black people also are not totally blameless when it comes to slavery. Liberals don't like to talk about it, but Africans sold their enemies to white slave traders. Also, literal slavery still exists in Africa. In fact, most of the metal in our phones was mined by slaves. Most of the chocolate we eat was grown and harvested by slaves. Much of the coffee we drink is grown and harvested by slaves. Sugar too.

  • God, wouldn't that be nice?
  • Well, that's what happens when you hyperbolically mislabel your political opponents as Nazis. Suddenly, half the country is Nazis because they don't want unlimited and unfiltered immigration.

  • Java
  • If you don't know what you're drinking, it's probably dark roast. Dark roast is like charcoal compared to light roast.

    The coffee most folks use (i.e. Folgers, Maxwell House) is low-quality coffee made in haste to keep the price low enough for folks to be willing to buy it. They only offer darker roasts because disguise the inferior nature of the beans, or rather the inferior process. The unfortunate truth is that good coffee costs more to process because it takes longer to process and most folks don't want to spend that much on coffee. So, you get what you pay for.

  • GPU VRAM Overclocking Possible with Linux Kernel 6.4

    I upgraded from Debian Bookworm (Stable), which has kernel 6.1, to Debian Trixie (Testing), which has kernel 6.4. Until then, I couldn't overclock my GPU's VRAM beyond 1750 MHz. With kernel 6.4, I can overclock it as far as AMD will allow - 1860 MHz. If my 5600 XT hadn't been locked down by AMD, I'd be able to go further than 1820 MHZ on the GPU and 1860 on the VRAM.

    Nautilus Bulk Renaming - Is it Possible to Delete Everything After the Underscore?

    I recently purchased, ripped, and almost finished transcoding the entire series of Friends. I’m currently in the process of converting subtitles with Subtitle Edit. I’d like to save myself a bit of work by taking the last 13-14 characters off the ends of the file names.

    For example, I’d like to take track13[spa] off of the following filename: 03x10 - The One Where Rachel Quits_track13_[spa].sup

    Or is this not possible with Nautilus?

    Sound Blaster Crackling Problem

    I've had a Sound Blaster AE-5 Plus for about nine months. During that time, I've been experiencing a persistent crackling issue. I finally did some research, found some different solutions which reportedly worked for folks, tried a few, and one finally worked for me! Apparently, a bunch of things can cause this crackling issue.

    In my case, it was the equalizer! I just had to disable that and bam! Problem solved! If only Creative had just left that feature disabled by default. Or in my case, the developer of the open-source drive, since I'm on Linux. The funny thing about it is that, depending on the cause, this crackling issue isn't limited to a single operating system or a single driver; Windows and Linux users alike are experiencing this problem - and Linux users like myself have to use an open-source driver (not that we mind) because Creative isn't interested in supporting Linux.

    Creative would do themselves a big favor if they just had the equalizer disabled by default. Then people could notice the crackling only after enabling the equalizer and realizing right away that the equalizer was the cause of the crackling. Creative could probably improve sales and prevent returns.

    If you're experiencing this issue and disabling the equalizer doesn't solve the problem, some other solutions I found from my research are disabling G-Sync, switching to a different version of the Nvidia driver, and switching the sound filter to fast roll-off.

    You also might need to turn off extra stuff like Crystalizer, Dialog Plus,, and Smart Volume.
