> So I agree that Rust's stdilb is somewhat mistake prone; not so much because it's being opinionated and "nudg[ing] the developer towards using neat APIs", but because it's so low…

Java is optional, not used for any of the core office functionality. You can build and use LibreOffice completely without Java.

Cloudflare sometimes preventing access to some sites and annoying CAPTCHA challenges due to CGNAT are relevant to the average person. Full IPv6 support should be a requirement for …

This may make sense if the extended warranty is limited to defects introduced by the remote change. I.e., if they remotely break your device, they should be responsible for fixing …

Doesn't Facebook require users to verify the email address with a confirmation email? If so, the only Facebook spam you should be able to get would be such confirmation emails. Or …

While this may be an option in some cases, this wouldn't be an open source project.

Many retail AM4 motherboards support ECC with retail Ryzen CPUs. At least on Linux it works as expected. ECC UDIMMs can be difficult to find but it shouldn't be necessary to buy a …

The system could supply an empty contact list.

> 1. Rust has very strong stability guarantees. If you want to you can continue coding like it's Rust 1.0 even on the latest compiler. There have been at least two cases where Fire…

You can't rent them for less than 24 hours.

You can order a USB HDMI capture dongle for around USD 10 on AliExpress, e.g., from AIXXCO. It's not perfect but it should suffice to setup or debug a headless system. TinyPilot us…

This is incorrect, to the best of my knowledge. 3900X and 3950X both have a 142W package power limit (PPT, 35% above TDP) at stock, with a properly working motherboard. As I unders…

Should be fixed in the upcoming GNOME 3.38: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285

The top wealth tax rate is definitely higher than 0.3% in Switzerland. In Zurich it's up to 0.7%. There is no capital gains tax for private long-term investments in Switzerland (wi…

So they're effectively saying you can't use Oculus gear if you don't have any friends (on social media).

TRX40 with a Threadripper 3960X supports PCIe 4.0 (64 CPU lanes) and 8x ECC UDIMM. This would be a quad channel configuration (2 DIMMs per channel), not 8 channels and DDR4-3200 EC…

Do you need RDIMM/LRDIMM or would ECC UDIMM suffice? If the latter, have you considered a Ryzen 3950X or a Threadripper 3960X? There are plenty of X570/TRX40 motherboards that prop…

That's not accurate. The initial implementation (in Linux 5.4) was also a derivative of Samsung exFAT code, however, it was not contributed by Samsung directly and it was based on …

Ryzen SKUs with a 105W TDP have a power limit (PPT) of 142W at stock. 65W TDP SKUs have a power limit of 88W. I.e., while these CPUs are allowed to use more power than their TDP, i…

No, the 56C/112T Intel Xeon Platinum 9282 is a BGA part, it's not socketed. You can buy this niche product only as part of a server with liquid cooling. And the successors to Casca…

No, Rome is expected to officially launch in early Q3 (it's already shipping to hyperscalers) and the Mac Pro is expected to ship in September. However, Zen 2 Threadripper would li…

It seems like the 64 core part will be able to run at 2.35 GHz, see https://www.anandtech.com/show/13598/amd-64-core-rome-deploy...

> There are AMD Motherboards that take ECC memory, but we've never seen them act on ECC errors that were uncorrectable (the correctably errors are handled, but uncorrectable errors…

There are no Epyc workstations chips with clock speeds comparable to Threadripper/Xeon-W. At least for the currently released products. And thus I consider Threadripper the closest…

This is correct for desktop and server. However, AMD hasn't said anything about the HEDT I/O die yet, as far as I know. Assuming Zen 2-based Threadripper will still have quad chann…
