The room might stink, but nobody intentionally shat on the floor.

I like this figure of speech a lot, stealing it 😁

Really like this!

Only one additional thing that came to mind - get a phone with lots of storage! My two previous Android devices died as a result of EMMC failure, and they had a pretty small onboard capacity (16GB, and 32GB)… my current device is 64GB and I now keep most of my data on a 512GB sd card.

Lots of empty storage space allows the EMMC firmware to perform wear levelling as needed, prolonging the life of this non-replaceable component. Most well-designed Android devices also run a “TRIM” on the internal EMMC storage when the device is idle, a kind of self-maintenance procedure that allows the firmware to keep track of how much space is unoccupied.

For Android users who are curious about the details (or have rooted devices and want to run a trim manually) see here

The last time I used Chrome was a fork called Rockmelt 🥴 then moved to Maxthon, then K-Meleon, and settled on Firefox

I feel sorry for whichever researchers are in charge of training and fine tuning those models… ouch

Ohh I was referring to the pic posted behind the “No problem” link in that user’s comment lol

I can hear the case vibration in that picture lol

Ah, good ol’ Microsoft Office. Taken advantage of their documents being a renamed .zip format to send forbidden attachments to myself via email lol

On the flip side, there’s stuff like the Audacity app, that saves each audio project as an SQLite database 😳

Oh wow the comments on Phoronix for this one are bonkers.

From what I understand (because it wasn’t clear to me from either of the TLDRs posted here) Nvidia’s proprietary graphics driver has been calling parts of the kernel that they shouldn’t be, because their driver is closed source.

These seem to be parts of the kernel that another company may own patents to, but has only licensed it to the kernel for free use with GPL open source code only, i.e. closed source/proprietary code is not allowed to use it.

Nvidia seems to have open sourced a tiny communication shim to try and bypass this restriction, so their closed source driver talks to the shim, and the shim talks to the restricted code in the kernel, that Nvidia does not have a license to use. This is a DMCA violation, hence why the Kernel devs are putting in preventions to block the shim, as far as I can see.

I don’t understand the small minority of commenters there defending a la soulless corp Nvidia, who is blatantly in the wrong here. Some commenters have gone as far as to call the Linux kernel maintainers “zealots”, would not be surprised if they are alts for Nvidia devs…

Edit: typo

All the alternatives work great for cycling, driving etc… but collapse instantly when you try and use them for public transport
