I also use ZArchiver and unzipping is zippy (sorry) in my experience. Not quite as fast as Linux but that’s to be expected considering the hardware difference.

However Windows is quite slow in this regard in my experience. It can easily take 30 seconds to extract a zip file that Linux can do in under a second, often with a sub 1MBps throughput. This is on an NVMe SSD.

Can we stop putting actually infuriating political BS in the lighthearted c/mildlyinfuriating?

Most OEMs like to say that they have the very best. And unfortunately, software just keeps bloating, making it more useful to have a higher end chip.

However, this dynamic has changed somewhat in recent years as the price of flagship SoCs has skyrocketed by ~4x in 5 years. More high-end phones are releasing with not quite the best chip, like the base iPhone, the Pixel, and the Galaxy S25/S25+ (due to Exynos).

Recently I was using Ubuntu and needed to recall a terminal command I had used a couple weeks prior. Luckily, my terminal commands are logged in the ~/.bash_history text file. Easy, convenient, customizable, and no AI needed!

Vulnerabilities are flaws in software that may allow an attacker to gain control of or eavesdrop a system.

They are categorized into low, medium, and high severities based on how easy it is to exploit the vulnerability and how much damage a successful attack utilizing that vulnerability would do.

I was riding my motorcycle today and was gonna park in a parking lot. Nearby there was a 1-lane 1-way road, and I witnessed some car park there even though the parking lot was visibly not full from that road. An hour later it was still parked there, blocking the road. Idiot.

Wait, this isn’t satire?

When I’m super stressed and completely demotivated, I’ll eat even more than usual because food gives me that sweet sweet hit of dopamine

That’s insane to me. A couple months ago, I bought a brand new mattress… for $92.

This is worth more than my car and my motorcycle combined.

The download link returns a 404, is it already down?

I’d prefer something like 68-70F (20-21C) at night, but something more like 73-75F (23-24C) in the day

I used “best brokers” back in the day

I’ve used it for many of my videos and it’s quite good. It’s amazing for simple edits and can handle more advanced stuff, but from my experience it bogs down with many effects. For complicated projects I recommend Resolve, but for simple to medium complexity video edits I fully recommend Kdenlive, as it’s better and more crash resistant than all the other FOSS video editors.

Keep it and wait for the applications to bloat up. You won’t feel like you have an excessive amount of RAM in a few years.

More like $126, if you know what I mean

2024: What are you doing with 16GB RAM and 300% CPU at 5.4GHz?

• Running some random process introduced with Windows 11 that adds literally nothing to the users experience other than heat and fan noise

I recently took a class on ARM assembly, and yet I don’t even know half of these x86 instructions.

Didn’t Audacity already have pitch shifting? Or did they improve the algorithm? If the latter is true, this is very exciting to me

Interestingly, just today I switched Firefox from a snap to a deb due to the limitations of the former on Ubuntu.

Copyright is far too long and should only last at most 20 years.

Actually, George Washington would agree with me if he was still alive. He and the other founding fathers created the notion of copyright, which was to last 14 years. Then big corporations changed the laws in their favor.
