    There's a difference between being wrong on a few things, and being consistently wrong and so far up your own ass that you have Slavoj Žižek and Sam Harris calling you out and the …

    But you can't do any of this and expect to get recognized. No ones gonna hire you because you spent a decade and have a half finished game engine written Haskell. All of that freed…

    Yeah downloading an OS that couldn't play MP3's by default, and required you to jump through hoops to let it play them, because said distro was avoiding law suits, Just like how Au…

    I think the biggest reason is lack of hardware decoding, Lots of people have a device that can hardware decode H.265, which is extremely important for 4k content, my x230 really st…

    YouTube's 1080p60 is already at a decimation ratio of about 200:1, then you have to consider how efficient P and B frames are with motion/differences. if your data looks like noise…

    If I was to gamble I would say that Analog TV can store more data, compression algorithms usually work at say 1:200 compression ratio, they're extremely destructive, a raw 1080p60 …

    You're looking an a macro economic indicator that only politicians seem to care about, Most other countries don't even bother to measure it. Trade deficit is just as much an indica…

    If the service gives a 301/308 response, it should in theory rewrite all bookmarks and things like this, but that also opens up security issues especially when it comes to password…

    I have this pathological example, I have a 30GB journal dump from bcachefs, and compressed it down with lz4 and zstd to a sata SSD, the compression ratios are 6.8% and 3% respectiv…

    The point of locking the CPU to a specific vendor is to reduce the trusted user base in the cloud. Currently you have to trust AMD, the Vendor, and the data center with your data. …

    Most people here don't seem to understand the entire point of this is to stop hardware tampering. The goal of AMD's SEV and other features is that the only way to compromise the sy…

    No one is saying "in an ideal world" that's a strawman. Fact checkers, corporations, the media, the state, and any of the elite are just people and so extremely irrational, Why on …
