You can use Bumblebee to ensure your game is the only thing that gets the GPU by running only it through optirun (AMD support is probably not coming soon)
You can also use taskset to ensure that only your game gets physical CPU cores, and everything else gets efficiency CPU cores
Yes (see Question about Mac phoning home from 6 days ago, which is answered by the former Asahi Linux lead). There is no firmware-level Apple telemetry, and booting into Linux disables Find My.
the asahi mess is limited to M1/2 models
As of the Asahi Linux blog post from 2 days ago, they're working on SPMI controller support, which is part of M3 support.
I wouldn't really call Asahi a mess, they upstream their patches to the Linux kernel and are a part of the Fedora project. Also, Linus uses Asahi Linux for his travel laptop, a MacBook Air.
which are like 5 years old at this point.
M2 models were released in June 2022, they aren't 3 years old yet.
I change the email address before deleting. If the deletion requires email confirmation, I'll change it to a disposable email address. Otherwise, I'll make up an email address with a nonexistent domain name
Sounds like Chrome isn't willing to support extensions on mobile, but Edge is and accepted Arnaud's Kiwi contributions into their codebase.
It's just as well, Kiwi Browser wasn't actively developed beyond its original features, it basically just re-added extension code into the codebase, and each update just fixed git conflicts between that patchset and the latest updates to Chromium's codebase.
From the article:
It also doesn’t seem like extension support in Microsoft’s browser is as straightforward as Kiwi, requiring you to paste the extension’s ID (e.g. “cnlefmmeadmemmdciolhbnfeacpdfbkd” for Grammarly) into the ‘Extension install by id’ field. By contrast, Kiwi lets you install add-ons directly from the Chrome Web Store or via a downloaded file.
Edge's extension support is buried behind a bunch of manual steps, most of which the article didn't mention, and installing each extension is arduous. The only mobile browser left that has full extension support is Firefox.
America ISP options for any given address are listed at https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/ , and you can filter it to only show high-speed ISPs. It gets updated a few times every year
Do you have any .pacnew or .pacsave files? That can sometimes explain breakage, you should resolve them after every update.
sudo find /etc -name '*.pacsave' -o -name '*.pacnew' | sort
No copyright? No problem!
I work 100% remote, which has made it very easy for me to ignore my coworkers' bad politics takes because they're confined to a specific Slack channel
I run my VPN and Firefox in a network namespace.
Docker introduces latency, but network namespaces do not.
That's true, presenting your phone to them would make it easier for them to invent a reason to take your phone
That's graduating cum laude in course. To graduate cum laude in thesis, you'd need to complete an honors project, typically during your last year, write and submit an honors thesis to your university's honors committee, and defend your thesis, where you present and answer questions about it.
