As a large language model, I don’t have an opinion on this subject.

If you show a geoscientist a picture of a rock, does he still lick it?

Ah, the Internet. A place where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.

using Plasma

Plasma and “apps apply scaling themselves” works perfectly for everything except non-DPI aware apps. If you don’t use any of those, it all just works.

Ideally all DPI aware apps would apply scaling themselves and non-DPI aware apps would be scaled by the system, but this is complicated to actually do. All apps run in the same xwayland environment at the same DPI under Plasma, so you have to set scaling for the whole environment.

This. The slow march of information as Intel gets dragged into admitting there’s a problem shows their focus is on avoiding responsibility for the issue.

I’d argue that power is more the issue. All that processor time the antivirus spends scanning and rescanning is a chunk of battery gone.

Sure, but you couldn’t analyse an individual’s purchasing behaviour over time and show just that person ads for baby clothes because you think they got pregnant.

We didn’t used to have tracking, you know? You used to just put up a billboard or put an ad in the newspaper and you just hoped it’d lead to new customers.

It’s a bit weird that the advertising people implemented fine gained tracking without asking anyone and now we’re just expected to pretend there’s no other way for advertising to work.

Good thing real life companies would never act like that.

It’s also possible to have voltage issues on a device with multi-cell batteries.

My laptop charges on a type-C charger, but only if it can get 15+ volts. If it’s a 12V charger, that isn’t enough to push a charge into its battery. It will run on 12V but won’t charge at all, even if it’s off.

Ah, that makes sense.

What? Oh, this pitchfork? I was just, uh, putting it away.

Respond to the player with a question, “Are you searching for traps?”

They kind of have to do that.

Safety rules frown upon vehicles that crush everyone inside in an accident, so a modern vehicle’s roof is required to be able to support the entire weight of the vehicle. If it’s a big vehicle, that means very chunky pillars.

You’d think so, but the logs often contain a ton of noise along with the one line that tells me what the actual issue is.

I know whenever I try to help someone with a Linux issue it’s always an uphill battle to get them to stop guessing what they think the problem might be and show me the logs.

People really don’t want to give you the information you need to help them.

Headline is dumb. If capacitors are better at being batteries than batteries are, they just become the next generation of batteries.
