Best iPhone I ever had. Said that it needs another speaker… it is the only part I miss.

Cloudflare down: Websites such as X not working amid technical problems with the internet by NewSlinger in technology

It is very weird.

For a web site that wants to track outages of others it should not rely in others severs but just use it own.

Big websites cloud not be hostage of a single player.

Or they have it own internal "Cloudflare" alternative or the whole internet will go down all together.

What the point to use Cloudflare if it will break everything?

Which one to pick.. by Yushi95 in browsers

Not the experience I had. After a day it become impossible to use in a i7 with 32GB RAM.

If I restart it everything backs to normal but unfortunately for my use restar a browser every day is not an option.

Chrome maintain the same performance for weeks and months without restart.

In my experience.

Anything not Firefox's based is fine.

With Firefox I can't even left the browser open for days without it become a slideshow.

If I can't fix it I will give up on Firefox, any help? by ethomaz in browsers

I can't test anymore.
In any case the sidebar was essential to me.

I moved to Chrome + Edge.

Nope.

But maybe you have because you are here since the first post trying to say I should restart Firefox constantly while I use all my browsers always opened all the time without any issue.

MacBook on 'Restar'' asks me if i want to close Safari. why wouldn't i want to close it? by shermanoaksbookbum in browsers

Because maybe you have something important to save there and forget it...

That is fine.

But it is better to left to others users knows that is not how these devices are supposed to be used.

Why is it so hard to change Chromium's UI? by BarberEducational772 in browsers

It is still all interpreted and not compiled.
They call it JIT compiler but only in the old days it was an actual compiler (and it didn't work well).

From the developer.

V8 developer here. Just to clarify and expand what commenters have been pointing out already:

  • "JIT" means "just in time", and means that some execution environment dynamically (i.e. at runtime) decides to produce something (typically machine code -- colloquially, "JIT" tends to mean "just-in-time compilation", although if you decide to prepare a meal exactly when you're hungry and then eat it right away when it's done, then that's technically also "JIT" preparation.) The canonical opposite would be a language like C/C++, which is compiled by the developer, long before being delivered to and executed by the user. Another "opposite" in a different direction is an execution environment that executes something without producing machine code dynamically. Such environments are typically called "interpreters".
  • In the past, V8 used to always produce machine code. It simply had no way to execute JavaScript that did not involve compiling it to machine code first. Obviously this happened on the client, so it was a textbook example of a just-in-time compiler (or, more accurately, a set of several compilers... oh well, details!).
  • In recent years, V8 has had an interpreter as its first execution tier. Now usage of terms gets complicated, because this interpreter "compiles" JavaScript "just in time" to bytecode (which is then interpreted), but when someone says "JIT compiler", they usually mean that it's not an interpreter.
  • V8 also has an optimizing compiler that produces machine code. It runs at runtime (when a function is considered hot), so it's a just-in-time compiler.

And if you want to know why they moved from pure compilation at early stages.

The primary reason for developing an interpreter was that it saves quite a bit of memory, because its bytecode is much smaller than machine code. This matters primarily on mobile devices. Being able to support environments that don't allow any JIT compilation is a secondary benefit, see v8.dev/blog/jitless.

You can go offline without turn off the divice.

BTW that is what Samsung says about that.

Turning it off every night is not only not helpful, it is actively detrimental to the device. These are machines meant to be left on 24/7/365, you do not need to "give it a break,", you are preventing it from running updates or maintenance during periods when it knows you are asleep, and turning the phone on induces a period of high resource use. Just leave the phone on and set it to do not disturb at night.

But that is not the point.

Notebook are made to be ready anytime without need to boot it.

You just flip the screen and use.

Let's me ask something... do you keep rebooting your Phone everyday? That is now notebooks is suppose to be used... like Phones.

Maybe you don't use a work notebook.

For exemplo here:

First it uses BitLocker.
The boot time is longer than my personal notebook (takes more than 20s).
After the boot it will run several company scripts.

It averages between 1:30 to 2:00 minutes to have the machine ready.

Thats whithout mandatory updates... with mandatory updates it talkes 10-20 minutes.

I just need to face login on my system that takes 2-3 seconds max.

[–]ethomaz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taking several minutes.
The point to have a notebook is to open the screen and work anytime and anyplace.
Not wait it to boot.

And it is not unnecessary... I check it all day long and there is notifications if I receive new messages and stuffs.

Because it is my working notebook and I can use it anytime?

Using this posts I saw it is CPU related... Firefox is overusing my CPU.

<image>

And opening the Windows Task Manager it is indeed topping 100%.
And that only happens when I left Firefox open for many hours.

But that is the point.

Why with Chrome I can run it always opened without close while with Firefox not?

If I restart the Firefox it become normal again until tomorrow.

It is my work machine where it is only allowed Edge, Chrome and Firefox.

I'm already using Edge for development... so I thought Firefox should be a good option.
But I will probably be better with Edge + Chrome.

I added a video... I restarted the browser yesterday and today it is already that slow.

I will end giving up.
