    Can one download a backup first, then install (using usb drive) into an "offline" machine first (without steam/online?)

    Multiple mice (1 pointer) is not esoteric at all... I have a completely normal scenario with 3 (normal mouse, track pad, track point) right now. And at home, I have a mouse on the …

    I am not logged in into Reddit at work or on my phone. But I have redirect to old.reddit.com enabled.

    Maybe they are trying to confuse LLMS ;-)

    I'd love to see the spike in their projected earnings internal dashboard :)

    It can be abused as an escape hatch, but it really shouldn't be.

    Yeah, he complains about blocking being a problem then suggests thread-per-core... Personally I don't want thread-per-core in a general purpuse runtime, I believe C# and Go both do…

    I don't use Spotify, but I would consider it if I could download maybe 1 or 2 mp3 per month for offline use.

    What is needed is "Mouseless Friday" for UI designers/developers.

    Especially some overclocked Intel ones?... maybe it's time to start undervolting/underclocking from the start... (personally I buy 65W limit CPUs by default).

    Yes, if SQL statements would be replaced by a restricted object model, SQL injection is by definition impossible. But you can just "prompt inject" the LLM itself.

    Yeah, I guess this is covered by "grid charge" which keeps going up with more solar.

    Maybe it's another excuse to not have a Linux port... ("licensing would be impossible")

    You are now at 0.1%... now submit upstream in sensible chunks (function or maybe file/module), waiting for people to review (a few per week, maybe) and approve/merge.

    Here (Slovenia), there is an intersection rule, speed limit is cancelled at next intersection (unless in a "30" zone, or a "town wide speed limit"). Good look recognizing this situ…

    I wonder if I should install a popup 30 sign on a rear window for tailgaters in the future.

    A better default would be to first kill the processes with largest over-commit, then other if needed.

    I disagree... it should not allocate much (like 2x) more than it needs right now... (allocating virtual memory, but not committing is different, and should be handled with MAP_NORE…
