Half expecting "It's dark here. You're about to be eaten by a grue."

Most likely there's a guru meditation error somewhere in the chain due to all HN regulars hitting that page...

I never have any problems with Firefox having 80+ tabs open spread across 5 window.

I have the opposite problem. I regularly open lots of tabs, and Chrome just expands its real estate pushing things into swap. Firefox just chugs on like a champion.

True. And that is why they don't act on just 'suspicion', but willing to pay to dollars for information.

The bracelet does not have directional speakers, so the ultrasonic waves will kind of spread everywhere, bouncing off hard surfaces, and ultimately reaches the eavesdropping device.

True. Last time I had an experience with an HP Color LaserJet was in 2009. It has expensive consumables, totally fragile, and often causes problems.

Replaced it with a Brother Color Laser MFC (with fax!) and everything just went swimmingly well.

Last I heard (2019), the HP had problems again and GA Dept just trashed the thing. The Brother was still working well.

In my country, it seems inkjet printers with tanks are quick replacing printers with cartridges.

The reason being people in my country don't really care about warranty, would go out and buy a cheap cartridge-based printer, then bring that printer to some hack shops that will "convert" that printer into a tank-based one, allowing you to use any third-party ink.

So manufacturers keep absorbing loss on their lower-than-cost printers and couldn't make a profit from ink sales.

That's why cartridge-based printers are slowly being phased out for ink tank printers... So manufacturers can grab profit directly from printer sales :-)

I have a Brother printer. The ink bottles are so cheap I don't think twice about buying original ink (only saves me less than £0.50 if I buy a third-party ink, not worth it.)

The printer itself is quite well-built, never clogged even if I don't use it for weeks. (I do cover it with a table cloth if not in use, though)

In short, I'm quite satisfied and will definitely recommend Brother printers to others.

25 page X 10 is a total of just 250 pages, a desktop Inkjet printer (the kind that uses ink tanks, not cartridges) can handle it no sweat, if a bit slower. Probably takes half an hour to complete.

When you hit 100 pages for 20 people though... ;-)

But I agree with the general gist of your post. Desktop personal printers are simply not built for _regular_ high load.

Inkjet printers that use ink tanks are more "honest". In fact, such kind of Inkjet printers are fast replacing the cartridge-based ones in my country.

The ink is very inexpensive, you can purchase individual ink bottles (about $3 per bottle, and on average will last about 1000-2000 pages) and not the whole set, and the printers actually were built quite tough.

Sure, they're more expensive than the cartridge-based ones (4-5x the price), but one gains economy of operation + more well-built devices.

The case would be if someone is recording you with a microphone placed somewhere unknown in the room. With the bracelet, and humans' tendency to move their arms while speaking, microphones around the room will be jammed at least part of the time.

He actually wrote "bisseq" but upside-down.

Hey, that's a good point!

Also adds a bit of zest in an otherwise tedious humdrum, by adding a bit of giggle every now and then.

.NET Foundation is not Microsoft.

Use `iptables-apply` instead.

iptables-apply reverts to previous config instead of flushing all the rules.

Sounds like an ISP in a monopolistic situation.

When there are alternatives, ISPs would bend over backwards for what customers want.

That are not colluding like a cartel, of course.

Oh Em Eff Gee xD xD xD

I use Windows 10 Pro on Asus VivoBook 15. Hibernation takes approximately one minute.

That was a beautiful story. I'm teary eyed reading that.

I wish my mom & dad kept a journal, but they hadn't, and now they live only in me & my brother's memories...

I should start my own journal.

At 1080p, with a 2080 Ti (AMD's Testing Rig), the GPU is not a bottleneck so any performance difference = CPU performance difference.

Going higher than 1080p, GPU starts to become a bottleneck so you're no longer comparing CPU-to-CPU, but (CPU+GPU)-to-(CPU+GPU).

Testing game performance at 1080p is a well-known and well-accepted way to compare CPU performance.

Should have named their CPU Architecture the "Crore" instead ;-)

Watercooling has one benefit: The heat capacity* of all those water is amazing.

*Heat capacity = how many joules of energy the whole system takes to raise the system's temperature by 1C.

So, the CPU is generating x Watts of heat = x Joules of heat energy per second. Watercooling can absorb a LOT of Joules before the cooling system's temperature increases, thus helping in keeping the CPU away from its MaxTemp.

Plus when attached to a sizable radiator, watercooling system can release all those energy to the environment faster, thus reducing the effective energy absorbed by the system.

AMD is clearly moving TR into the "Pro" / Workstation market. As such, "soon" means "the next Workstation trade event/show".

With CES 2021 cancelled/postponed for Jack knows how long, "soon" might mean Q2 2021.

Well, directly, no.

Indirectly ... find the model and use a lookup table to find how many FMA units it has :P

Wow. This likely throws a wrench in Intel's ability to design a revolutionary "Non Core" architecture free of all the security vulnerabilities that have been plaguing the Core family due to unsafe shortcuts in the name of performance.

Here's to hoping that in the 2 years Keller had been in Intel, he had left many good, realizable ideas on how to overhaul Intel's CPU architecture. If not, then this news might be the death knell for Intel's CPU might for the next decade.

I misread that as WordPerfect 5.2 ...

This. Probably. Quite soon enough people who don't know better will think that the Proper Way to run Linux is as WSL inside Windows 10...
