You don't get segmentation faults if you don't have an MMU. That can certainly make debugging more interesting when your firmware starts overwriting memory that it shouldn't until it finally crashes.
Almost every Lemmy instance blocked threads.
Firefox plus uBlock Origin is what you can do about it. I hardly ever see any ads. SponsorBlock is great if you watch youtube too.
The music can be copied to new hard drives without any loss in quality, so why are they leaving their only copy on 30 year old hard drives?
The easiest way to get lossless music is to buy a CD and rip it. Of course you can always sail the high seas too. 🏴☠️
What's even worse is that Apple is not fully erasing the phones that they refurbish.
Holy crap, they are serious. I though I was on !programmer_humor@programming.dev for a minute. I sure hope none of those computers are connected to the internet. There's a massive number of vulnerabilities in windows 3.1 and windows 95.
It depends on what you are doing. I've got single board computers running happily with 512MB of RAM. I certainly wouldn't want to try and run a GUI on them though.
I don't care if it's a human or a bot trying to sell me something because my ad blocker will make sure I don't even see it.
At least it should result in less laptops being made with ridiculously small amounts of non upgradable RAM.
Requiring a large amount of compute power for AI is just stupid though. It will probably come in the form of some sort of dedicated AI accelerator that's not usable for general purpose computing.
The problem with ARM laptops is all of the x86 windows software that will never get ARM support and all of the users that will complain about poor performance if an emulator is used to run the x86 software.
Most Linux software already supports ARM natively. I would love to have an ARM laptop as long as it has a decent GPU with good open source drivers. It would need full OpenGL and Vulkan support and not that OpenGL ES crap though.

Because that would take a long time if you deleted a large file in another partition or drive. You could also end up not having enough space to move the file to trash and if the trash directory is on an SSD, it would add a lot of unnecessary wear to it.
