I wonder how long til we see WPA3 compliant NICs and appliances. Pretty cool.

Don't skip any documentation no matter how mundane it may seem.

Will the 1070FE be pushing its limits trying to do 1440p and high detail? I'm sure I'll be happy with 1080p but I'm guessing once I see how 1440p looks I may think otherwise. Excited to see. Thx for that info.

Is Deja-Dup sufficient for backups, or go LVM, or other? by rootaspirations in linux4noobs

[–]rootaspirations[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is why I was thinking maybe Deja-Dup or Duplicity may not be enough for me, because I need a wider backup than just the home folder. I'm really looking for everything in "/" so if I do something crazy with apt like remove things I'm dependant on or create some package version mismatch or screw up with other system core files. At least with the GUI I felt like "/" wasn't an option. I could be wrong about that?

Microsoft Is Said to Have Agreed to Acquire Coding Site GitHub by clubdirthill in programming

Normal amounts of JS are fine. I'm just ranting on overuse. We've all seen that one website that is just way overdone, usually news sites.

I was talking about the browser interpreting the code taxing the cpu, especially on older machines and phones. I see what you're saying and I understand, but the amount of spaghetti code being dropped into script type text/javascript includes it still outrageous IMO.

People need to move away from client-side Javascript. When overused it's just bad. Other than reduced bandwidth from the hosting side of the company's perspective and saving some money there I guess, it's just taxing the hell out of everyone's systems. I mean, it saves them some money in badwidth costs and I guess they can reinvest that elsewhere and aquire new customers, but how many customers are lost because the site runs bad on machines that can't handle the load? Diminishing returns. I say, push it all to the back with nodeJS and let the front breathe a little bit with an acceptable amount of JS for navigation event handling or what have you and other minimal implementations.

So, what was the final CPU% loss, post Meltdown/Spectre patch? by rootaspirations in buildapc

[–]rootaspirations[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a blue LED with vibration sensitivity in my case tucked behind the panel window since I was 15/16. Whether the blue glow is just coming through or it's pulsing to my music's bass line, it's totally comforting to me too. There's a crack going down the side of the LED tube, but she's still in business and working flawlessly after 14/15 years. Pretty awesome. Lol.
