I don’t really understand how USB stuff works (what is the difference between a hub, interface, and controller?) but from what I’ve seen I think a hub supporting 20gbps would probably be in the 5-15$ range and probably not larger than a few centimeters

If you have multiple ports driven off the same internal hub, they will share bandwidth.

I’m usually happy with increased efficiency as it represents an increase in performance in the future. Cost is something that seems much more inevitable to go down than performance is to go up, so the two metrics I look for in the state of the CPU market are peak single core performance and performance per watt. Of course, this only applies to observing the industry from outside, I’m sure if I was actually in the market for a new CPU right now I’d probably be happier with a worse performance per watt chip as long as it was cheaper.

I’m just really hoping Trump will piss off republicans in Congress fast enough that they stop supporting him before he can cause any real harm.

I find ChatGPT useful in getting my server to work (since I’m pretty new with Linux)

Other than that, I check in on how local image models are doing around once every couple of months. I would say you can achieve some cool stuff with it, but not really any unusual stuff.

Oh, I had some of those last year on some lemmy thread somewhere.

Archinstall is super easy. Just copy a few commands from the wiki to join a wifi network and then it will take everything from there.

We have one like that with illuminated buttons, probably from around 2015, but it only stays on for 30 seconds or so

I thought it was funny how Trump was just nodding along while Harris was saying that people often leave his rallies due to boredom. Also, him basically outright saying that immigration has never happened in the history of the country, along with the other nonsensical things he’s said.

I actually had a problem where on Chrome, I would be signed out of my google account every time I restart my computer, while on Firefox, everything works normally. I use Firefox now lol.

this article has not been edited, is from 2022, and says the feature was rolled out in June.

To make an online game, you have to write server software. So just give it to people! Its not that hard.

I don’t think red hat is even on the list, so the fact that they’re making even bigger bucks doesn’t really matter.

I would say arch is more of the buzz lightyear shelf meme, you think you’re being unique and cool but really its probably the most popular enthusiast distro

me when I don’t have proper fallback fonts installed:

lol boeing gets like half of their money from the government, I don’t see the government suing them anytime soon

Check how large your photos library is on your computer. Now wouldn’t it be nice if it was 40% smaller?

jpeg xl lossless is around 50% smaller than pngs on average, which is a huge difference

JPEG XL in lossless mode actually gives around 50% smaller file sizes than PNG

its royalty free and has an open source implementation, what more could you want?
