There are plenty of good FOSS text editors out there. I certainly don’t want to use one that was barfed up by an AI.

Nice, it has twice as many failure points as previous folding phones.

It’s not possible to overwrite data on flash memory. The entire block of flash has to be erased before anything can be written to it. Having the SSD controller automatically erase unused blocks improves the write speed quite a bit.

That’s not necessarily the case with SSDs. When trim is enabled, the OS will tell the SSD that the data has been deleted. The controller will then erase the blocks at some point so they will be ready for new data to be written.

You can slow the RAM down too. You don’t need XMP enabled if you’re just using the PC as a NAS. It can be quite power hungry.

I’ve never seen any machine translation that I would consider anywhere near good.

I hope not. Around here, you just step outside and there will be a dozen swarming around you.

Yeah, no. If you really need to run Android apps on a PC, you can run them with Waydroid.

Either wait a while or access it from a different IP address. If you have both IPv4 and IPv6, try forcing it to use one or the other with the -4 and -6 options.

They are disabling it because the license cost went up 4 cents? Just pass that cost onto the customer. Even if they mark that up several times, I would rather pay that than have my battery drained because I have to software decode a video.

There is still a lot of H.265 content out there. I have many terabytes of it that I don’t want to transcode.

You can’t hide or get rid of the browser fingerprint, but some addons can help to randomize it so it looks like you’re using a different device every time you visit a site.

You need to backup any data you want to keep to another drive before installing.

Make sure there’s nothing important on the flash drive too. Writing the iso will erase everything on it.

Not when it comes with the huge downside of non upgradeable RAM. I will carry around a huge power bank before I buy a laptop with soldered RAM.

That’s a for LAN use. The other IPv4 example ranges are 198.51.100.0/24, 203.0.113.0/24 and 233.252.0.0/24.

There are several IP address ranges reserved specifically for documentation and examples such as 192.0.2.0/24 and 2001:db8::/32. That’s what they should have used.

About the only thing I would consider using QLC for is games since write speed doesn’t matter and they can just be downloaded again if they get corrupted.

What kills the batteries is keeping them at 100% charge all the time, especially when the laptop is hot. Some laptops do have the ability to limit the maximum charge. Setting the maximum charge to 60-80% when the laptop is going to be plugged in for a while will extend the battery life. It is necessary to occasionally do a full charge to keep the capacity sensor calibrated though.

It’s not hard to make a useful website that’s small. You just have to avoid using javascript libraries and keep images to a minimum. There are a number of static web page generators if you don’t want to write HTML yourself.

Keep in mind that a 50 kB page is about a 15 second load on a typical dial-up connection. Before high speed internet, almost everyone kept their web pages small.

They tend to require installing a rootkit on your own computer. I wouldn’t buy them even if they did support Linux.
