- Money from sponsored segments.

- Other people writing scripts, recording gameplay and other stuff.

It's a different series today.

Yet everyone is okay with a de-facto single supplier of CUDA capable AI GPUs.

> If A-tel (Amd-inTEL) can not sell to the EU the merger will not happen.

What the EU gonna do then? Stop buying computers? Perform rapid continental ARM transition for mythical amount of money?

There's a working flatpak package on Flathub. You just need to provide assets and CD key

There's a Flatpak package for UT2k4 on Flathub that launches on modern 64 bit systems. You just need to provide game assets and enter CD key.

It still works.

Worldcoin? Government issued auth service is a viable option too. Just get some flag like "isBlind" in it. Disabled status is granted by the government after all.

Well, France doesn't have Zone Improvement Plan codes. It is somewhat annoying to fill forms on websites with "ZIP code" in them for people outside US. They aren't called this way anywhere else (except for one or two countries).

> People ask us things like “how long do I cook [something] and we often have no idea how to answer that question.

Yes. Answers like "until it sounds differently" just cause more questions while being the actual answers. How the hell am I supposed to explain "that different sound". After some time you just start to feel it.

> although the old multi-windowed interface was just something else

Well, it's pretty good for multi-monitor setup. Dedicating the whole monitor for the image without endless panels in the way is convenient.

I guess the main reason here isn't "keeping an old version", but having a version that doesn't require an internet connection to be activated and doesn't send any data to Adobe.

But having an older version can be useful too because some features from previous releases may be missing in current ones, so that's a way to ensure access to the old files. A couple of years ago all the Pantone colours used in Photoshop just became black after an update because Adobe stopped licensing Pantone stuff.

> he can imagine wars being fought over AI

I wonder how did he come to such a prediction. When was the last time we had a war over advanced tech? Armies didn't fight over telegraph, radio, phones and cars.

A war to get AI would also be foolish. A few hundred bombs from your adversaries and AI won't have electricity to function.

That's a great way to drive someone insane.

1. Put some of the forbidden symbols in the file names of, let's say, a bunch of photos.

2. ZIP them

3. Send to someone who ordered those photos with Windows/Linux computer.

4. An hour later tell them that everything works on your computer and you don't see the problem. As a bonus you can film unpacking the zip file and saying: "You see, it works. There's something wrong with your computer".

File saving dialog doesn't have functionality for purchases or subscriptions, so it may have a lower priority in the eyes of upper management.

How can anyone come to the conclusion that it's a good idea to use imprecise generation on the go in the tool made to refer to specific already defined things?

Year 2024. Now we use more computing power to make computers remember things worse.

Food intake makes blood go to stomach, temporarily reducing its amounts in the other parts of the body. It may cause some fatigue.

> You can click on the three dot menu at the right of the path, there is an option to open a terminal.

I use Black Box as a terminal app, but Nautilus will open only default distro-provided terminal application with its menu.

It isn't about GNOME apps. Their UI actually stands in the way and require fiddling.

In GNOME Clocks:

- You cannot set the name for a timer when creating iy. You need to set the time and start it first, then either pause and reset it or wait for completion. And only then the text field for timer's name appear.

- Timer sound is just a single bell that's easy to miss when you are busy with something like cooking. No repeats, no additional dialogs or highlights. Just a single notification and timer resets.

Nautilus (Files):

- Does not focus a file/folder for keyboard navigation after entering a folder using keyboard navigation (arrow keys and Enter). Maybe I'm missing something,but that's my experience with resorting to mouse or pressing Tab.

- "Open in Terminal" opens folders only in GNOME's default terminal. There's no way in GNOME Settings to set the default application for terminal either.

GNOME Weather:

- The width of hourly weather graph/chart is limited. Even if you have a big monitor and will maximize it, you will have to scroll horizontally to see the further than ~10 hours.

I assume they keep a few jars of electricity at home.

They set the price themselves. It's their fault that they can't provide a service at their own price.

Such folks usually have modern GPUs, so they don't experience such problems.

There is no other choice but Nouveau. But it's not that fine because it means losing hardware video decoding.

> using a card that old on a modern machine suggests

It's an old laptop. Totally adequate for scrolling web, watching movies and arguing about very important stuff on Hacker News. There is no way to change GPU there or switch to integrated Intel one.

THE PLAN

1. Install the editor version free from proprietary stuff from big corporation

2. Install a proprietary editor extension by big corporation

3. ?????

> It almost seemed like an intentional snub at Nvidia.

I don't think anybody can come up with better intentional snubs at Nvidia than the Nvidia itself.

When it comes to their older graphics hardware, their drivers just refuse to work with newer kernels. GPU was capable to draw windows and play videos for a decade, but then, after a kernel update, it doesn't even show 1024x768 "garbage". Just black screen.

So effectively, buying Nvidia to use with Linux equals to buying hardware with expiration date.

> If you are dealing with consumer grade stuff that is sold a million times sure.

It's not a sure thing. Out of a bunch of mass produced monitors sharing the same model number and specs, some may still malfunction not reporting the correct EDID.

Regarding autoskip, I have an interesting experience with it in the past.

My friend asked me to write a userscript that simulates pressing the "Skip ad" button, so he won't stain his mouse with grease while eating.

Checking if there is a "Skip ad" button every quarter of a second and invoking its click() method eliminated the video ads completely. As it turns out, the button existed alongside the 5 second countdown, just wasn't visible.

I don't know if it still works the same way today, but it felt good to accidentally make an effective adblock with five lines of code.

You are able to do so, but is it allowed by the website's terms of service? It may say that you are granted the license to extensions only with Microsoft builds of vscode.

Microsoft isn't a stranger to distribution restrictions and software usage limitations. I remember uploading Visual C# Express 2010 (freely downloaded from Microsoft's website, without license keys) to a local file sharing website to ease the downloading for my local study group and got a letter from Microsoft's lawyer to take it down.

After that our study group transitioned to Mono with Monodevelop.

Because such a move would break YouTube for a lot of legitimate users without Widevine. Like the whole userbase of Safari.

> Wouldn't this be trivial to defeat by pulling the playlist multiple times (maybe via a proxy to get a different IP), and only showing the chunks which did not change?

Since the YouTube marks ads, I guess pulling the playlist twice won't really be needed. YouTube's player should somehow know when the ad starts and when it ends after all.

No. The cached files will remain intact, since the "video chunks" playlist will add new items, but not change or remove the existing ones like that:
