RCS protocol is open. The apps... not so much.

Someone should make a RAM Booster app that essentially just execute echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches in a terminal.

glibc: 😑🤚

musl: 😌👉 (unless you're a python programmer)

As an outside observer, I ask one simple question. Why is it so hard for you to realize that what I said is the truth and not what western media parrots. Why do you believe the black and white issues that your propaganda keeps claiming even in the face of irrefutable evidence.

Hmm, did you reply to the wrong comment? Anyway, I'm not aware of current political situation in Taiwan and was really surprised by that presidential candidate's statement. Are you telling me that this is considered a normal statement for political opposition on Taiwan?

The honeymoon period. Enjoy it while it lasts. Once their competitions gone, price would rise sharply.

When the alternative to prove of works (vouched by those hoarding compute resources) is prove of stake (vouched by those who can afford to park piles of money), both are suck for their own reasons.

KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih said on Saturday that a vote for the DPP was equivalent to "sending everyone out to the battlefield" because supporting Taiwan independence would touch off a war.

What's happening in Taiwan? Why did a presidential candidate said something like this? In another country, a presidential candidate telling people to not supporting their own country's sovereignty would be a political suicide.

By multiseat, do you mean allowing two people to use your Linux PC at the same time, using a separate monitor and keyboard/mouse, as of they're on a separate computer? You can do this without installing additional software, though you must configure the seat from command line:

• https://wiki.debian.org/Multi_Seat_Debian_HOWTO
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/xorg_multiseat
• Wayland seems to support multiseat but I can't seem to find any documentation or tutorial save for an article on phoronix: https://www.phoronix.com/news/MTM4MzA

Is it possible to isolate applications per user?

Each user with have their own login session, so ther application processes should be separate from each other.

It was a death sentence back then, but now I bet those with a threadripper with huge RAM can tank it until it hit ulimit.

Basically a bunch of toll roads where you pay to use them, right? But paying every time you use the road will get expensive quick, so road companies will offer subscriptions so you can save money if you frequently use their roads. Some companies will bundle subscriptions from many road companies together so you'll only pay for one subscription instead of dozens. They might even offer discount if you use yearly subscription. Viola! Now you have road tax except paid to private companies.

It's still an ongoing war, but with Manifest V3, Google will have an advantage over adblockers because they will be in full control over the frequency of extension updates, how many ad blocking rulesets they'll allow, and perhaps when no one is looking, prevents those rulesets from targeting their own domains. The latter is the nuclear option that'll instantly piss off the whole tech world if implemented now, but perhaps slow boiled frogs won't notice it once the heat is high enough.

The models sold in my country haven't burst into flame yet, and they sold a lot of units here. Honestly, EV fire is my biggest worry, so I'll probably wait for another year before considering getting a chinese ev to see if there is no fire incidents or other dealbreaking issues, but they're looking pretty solid so far.

Wuling and BYD absolutely dominates cheap EV segment in Asia. Their small EVs basically cost almost a quarter of Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Every time you double your servers' cpu usage, you'll double your server cost as well. If it were cheap I bet more companies would actually consider doing this.

The ultimate server-side anti cheat would be running the online game like Stadia where the players basically stream the game, which is very expensive to run today but might be the norm in the far future.

For comparison, Chinese companies sell EVs like hot cakes in Asia for <$15K. They sell it even cheaper in the mainland.

Sometimes I use Steam Remote Play to access my personal linux desktop remotely. It's actually works pretty great and can automatically reduce stream quality to match your current bandwidth. It also has a lot less input latency than VNC or RDP, though it consumes a lot more bandwidth.

it's not a "nothing special" device, it literally has a psp encoded into the soc package...

It's nothing special anymore today because current arm processors are fast enough to fully emulate PSP, unlike the time when vita was still in development.

this is just flat out incorrect, a huge amount of games just don't work on the vita tv because of the lack of touch interactions

Only a few dozen out of hundreds of vita titles, and mostly due to the lack of touchscreen, not the lack of the rear touchpad. Most vita titles that use the rear touchpad only use it as a workaround for the lack of R2/L2 buttons (and many of them already patched to recognize R2/L2 on vita tv), which the portal has. If the portal has vita support, it'll support more titles than vita tv simply because it has a touchscreen.

Google today will never have the gut to pull out of China when their government demand access to all their users data.

Ever since pornhub nuked their library, people start filling up their homework folder again so they won't most their favorite homework data.
