There are tons of possible options in between n hours and 3 decades

On windows there is a compensation control in the form of start menu written in react that needs 7 msedgewebview processes to run so that you can search for an app.

Thanks – I was wondering how code that initializes DRAM actually runs

Because after the home is built, city starts getting tax revenue from its occupants

In Linux, it’s a CPU governor option. Set to “performance” by default on most distros, switching to “powersave” yields surprising reduction in power consumption and temperature.

Right, for exactly that reason Hetzner offers brand new AX42 / EX63 servers with ECC memory and modern (Zen 4 / Arrow Lake) CPUs for just a little bit more.

>That CPU is ancient, though. Over a decade old.

Coincidentally so are the t3 / t3a instances on AWS that everyone loves to use especially for dev/staging environments

They’re however designed and engineered for a specific jurisdiction and its laws/building codes

> Besides, if you want insurance just get a 30€ per year rolling package.

My credit card has a yearly fee of €36 (and it’s not like having a debit card instead would have been free). The total annual insurance premiums of all insurances that it includes (travel, third party liability, purchase) would exceed €200 from the same provider.

Ah yes let me forego the chargeback protections (and convenience of one tap Apple Pay) to reduce merchants fee by 0.2% of transaction value, sounds great

They recently enabled 3DS for business accounts, on customer ones it’s indeed still disabled

What kind of power we're talking about here? I was quoted €10600 (around half of which will be government-subsidized) for 8 kWp worth of panels + 10.24 kWh battery storage, including project documentation (for subsidies), labor, and materials.

To you – yes. But have you thought about the shareholders?

Someone for whom this takes over half an hour might be better off taking the train

because there is still 2012-era belief hanging around many people that Tesla's EV tech is superior to anything else

DigitalOcean is fantastic in my experience, way better than The Big Three, especially Azure.

walking and sitting on a bench as well, correct?

You don't, you pirate it. If you paid perfectly working, non-vibecoded dollars for Windows 11 Pro which became utterly broken, pirating whatever you need from Microslop to actually having a working computer is morally right.

> Something like this will set you back $30K-$60K per year

lol, no, cloud is nowhere near that good value. It’s $3.5M annually.

> The Standard_HX176rs HPC VM size gives you 176 cores and 1.4 TB of memory

This one is $124k per year.

Nowadays the 718 might be more of a Porsche than the 911

Why would you care about ADAS on a drivers' car? Sure that might be useful on a Camry or another point A -> point B appliance, but I doubt Porsche buyers give any thought to those features.

Because in their eyes if something was not invented here, it may as well not exist :-) they haven’t managed to cure this sickness in decades.

>Why is it governments job

Because it’s literally the excuse for taxation?

It’s also illegal in most countries

Start menu search requires 7 web browser processes that consume ~350 MB of RAM to be constantly running.

If you supply ground from one end, and +24V (or whatever) from the other end, brightness will be equal throughout the strip :)

But it would also be a good idea to measure voltage drop when it's powered on, and compensate accordingly, if your PSU allows for it.

“Heavy lifting” here being running 108 MB of JavaScript to render shopping cart of an online store, correct?

Or consuming 2 GB of RAM to have Teams running in the background doing nothing?

Yeah, if we got rid of that as a result of RAM shortages, that’d be great.

On Apple Silicon devices with macOS 26+, SSH keys can be natively stored in the Secure Enclave, protected via TouchID: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46025721

It only supports sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 key format, however that is widely supported currently.

On iPhones at least you can disable PWM dimming at lower brightness level at the expense of color accuracy. It's in Accessibility/Display settings.

VP9 is inferior to H.264
