RAM’s main advantage over HDDs/SSDs is fast access times.
Needing to fetch anything over the internet would make it faster to just use HDDs.

I am slightly confused by the graph, which does not appear to list English or any of the Chinese languages?
It’s reasonable to argue that ‘lingua franca’ means the language used for trade, travel, diplomacy etc. - and that does not necessarily have to mean the language spoken by the plurality of the world’s population.


PCs have almost never supported CEC. PCs use a different signalling method to indicate to the monitor that they’re on/off.


Is this the one FriendlyJordies was talking about?


That is sort of what sponsored segments are, and what sponsorblock is quite effective at dealing with.
If they’re injected on the fly at variable time points, it gets harder, but I suspect fingerprinting could work well enough.


TVs often do a bad job at switching on when the computer turns on, then off when it turns off/goes to sleep. Drives me spare. That was fixed in like 1995-2000 for normal monitors.


Coefficient of performance (i.e. energy efficiency) at decent delta-T is always the most important factor and rarely mentioned.
Modern cooling equipment generally has the largest environmental impact from energy consumption, not manufacturing or refrigerant leakage.
Especially with ultra-low-GWP propane or butane refrigerant, though that’s not usually used in large-scale systems.


I expect so.
KDE Connect also works great as a remote control for many things, presumably including this.


I mean, if it was written well, it might say something like discharge reproductively viable genetic material. It looks like an unfertilised egg disintegrates before leaving the body, so isn’t viable.
‘Discharging genetic material’ on its own includes a nosebleed.


Yeah, it’s kind-of the onion in that it’s a satirical bill, presented to the House.


Secondhand stuff can be really cheap if you know where to look, but the drawbacks are usually power and noise.
OpenAI is joined at the hip with MS, right?
What’s the bet this is MS’s attempt at getting back into the corporate mobile space again? Brand it as CoPilot Phone…
