    Local software could be stealing plaintext secrets from your encrypted disk. Physical access is not the only attack vector.

    Have you actually seen the contents of the comment? Do you actually have an example of anyone that went to jail for calling someone fat? Also: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2…

    HDR photos taken on iOS or Android devices are displayed as SDR images when opened on Windows. The gain map that they contain (see ISO 21496-1) is ignored. Before the ISO standard …

    What you are taking about is also called HDR, but has nothing to do with what the other person is talking about. The other person is talking about the still image equivalent of HDR…

    Apparently I was wrong about that part. Only the part about cents still being legal tender was correct. So you can pay the exact amount, but not demand the exact change.

    Thanks for the correction. So only the part about legal tender was correct, which is probably what I was confused with. The relevant part: > The one and two cent coins will remain …

    In the Netherlands cash payments get rounded to the nearest 5 cents, in both directions. Card payments are not rounded. If I’m not mistaken, you can still demand exact change accor…

    Without having any experience with the APIs to back up my claim, I believe that the WebExtensions API is more powerful in the sense that it allows more complex blocking rules. AdGu…

    I got RSI using a touchpad, which then transferred to using a normal mouse. I couldn’t do anything with a mouse for longer than a few minutes. I completely fixed it with a DXT Mous…

    I’m running Ollama on 2 eGPUs over Thunderbolt. Works well for me. You’re still dealing with an NVDIA device, of course. The connection type is not going to change that hassle.

    It gives weird results for me. I’m using Qwen3-32B with 32K context length at Q4_K_M, with 8 bit KV cache fully offloaded to 24GB VRAM. According to this calculator this should be …

    With a 128K context length and 8 bit KV cache, the 27b model occupies 22 GiB on my system. With a smaller context length you should be able to fit it on a 16 GiB GPU.
