We only get 200 GiB for that price in the USA - I was surprised they offer so much more over there

Wait - you can get 1tb for £2 there?

I wouldn't mind as much if it was that price.

It stems from companies being too cheap to get people work phones, but still wanting them to be available

We were taught about OpenMP in like 2012 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP

Intel's TBB was also used some, but not as frequently https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_Building_Blocks

For what it's worth, it seems like it's this "journalist" trying to make a sensational headline

The researchers themselves very clearly just tried to see if it could happen in our reality

"We decided to look at the probability of a given string of letters being typed by a finite number of monkeys within a finite time period consistent with estimates for the lifespan of our universe,"

I was reasonably certain, but left it open in case OP knew of some edge case where flags that are intended to be machine independent caused bugs on different architectures

-O2 vs -O3 adds -fgcse-after-reload -fipa-cp-clone -floop-interchange -floop-unroll-and-jam -fpeel-loops -fpredictive-commoning -fsplit-loops -fsplit-paths -ftree-loop-distribution -ftree-partial-pre -funswitch-loops -fvect-cost-model=dynamic -fversion-loops-for-strides

I don't think any of these optimizations require more modern hardware?

I've used Matrix since the app was called Riot.im and there was no encryption

I didn't realize once encryption was added, that there were still metadata leaks as compared to Signal

Could you give me some information on what metadata is unencrypted, or point me towards documentation about that?

For historical info - Oracle bought OpenOffice and started to close it down, so all the developers that worked on it forked it into LibreOffice

Oracle has since given OpenOffice to an open source group, Apache, but the main development still happens on LibreOffice

I have fond memories of playing it as a comedy game back when the Radeon RX 480 came out

There was a bug with the shaders in this game, so all the walls and many floors were rainbows 😂

Yeah. The crowd rooting for Qualcomm has never worked with them

ARM has it's problems, but they aren't in the wrong here

Every carrier lets you use an unlocked phone on their network

T-Mobile no longer lets you buy unlocked phones from them

 

I’m considering trying out an immutable distro after using Tumbleweed for the last 6 years.

The two major options for me seem to be Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora-dx

My understanding is that universal-blue is a downstream of Fedora Atomic

So, the points in favor of Kinoite is sticking closer to upstream, however it seems like I would need to layer quite a few packages. My understanding is that this is discouraged in an rpm-ostree setup, particularly due to update time and possible mismatches with RPMFusion

uBlue Aurora-dx seems to include a lot of the additional support I’d need - ROCm, distrobox, virt-manager, libratbag, media codecs, etc. however I’m unclear how mature the project is and whether it will be updated in a timely manner long term

I’m curious what the community thinks between the two as a viable option
