I once knew a person that ended almost every sentence they could with, “and stuff”. I don’t think I’ve ever used the phrase since.

“Change the rules for us please! Let us release bad games please! Don’t tell anyone our game is bad please!”

Yeah, I agree. Browsers all seemed to act like they are the only thing running on the computer at some point, practically resembling their own OS with the amount of containerization and complexity. There should definitely be a way for the OS to request some RAM be released from the browser.

There’s also the idea that free RAM is somehow a good thing. In an ideal system, the RAM would always be “full” of potentially useful data. Having a bunch of empty RAM means that it’s not being useful. That space could be used to hold plenty of regularly used files that would be instantly loaded instead of having to pull from the drive again.

I don’t know when everyone started getting concerned with RAM usage, but in a perfect system, it would hold onto all of your frequently used programs and files that it could fit from boot and then those would load instantly.

Some Linux distros even allow loading the entire OS into RAM for wild speeds.

Idle RAM is just that. It does you no favors. Now, I do understand that you don’t want to be completely out, but we act like having 80% free is a goal for some reason.

Totally missed the battering battling ram pun here…

I got to see this live and holy crap what an amazing race! I thought for sure there was about to be a red flag when they were 3-wide. Absolutely incredible to see them up close.

Thankfully USB-C can handle both of those protocols. Just like with Micro USB and Mini before it, it will just take time until the ecosystem catches up. Just, this time, you can run the entirety of possible data streams through a single port.

The Ferrari Challenge cars gave a great comparison. The Ferrari’s were just matching F1 cruising speed at their fastest around the Sphere. Seriously impressive speeds during qualifying.

The fact that I’ve never heard of the corporate death penalty until now, but they’re bringing back the actual death penalty says everything.

In short:

I don’t think he was ever supposed to be considered a role model. Sort of like Tyler from Fight Club.

I really need to know the gap between January and the apology.

I think the STEM fields very well supports this. There are entirely new protocols, software, structures, algorithms, technologies and tons more coming out year over year.

All those fields aren’t exclusively supported by fresh college students. Those are people who are having to constantly learn to stay in their field. If you don’t keep learning, the entire industry becomes inaccessible.

Sure, but this doesn’t change the fact that it’s the fault of the OS and that the user shouldn’t have to take these steps. I totally believe Windows does this, but not that it has any legitimate reason to happen.

There’s nothing the sysadmin should have to worry about here. This is entirely on Windows. No other system in existence just fills up the space of the drive it’s on like this. This isn’t configured poorly. It’s just a bad OS.

7-Zip can extract .rar just fine. It does not have a .cat extractor though.

“Honey. You’ll never guess what they asked me to do at work…”
