I gotta be honest. Idk how there isn’t a removededit for lemmy yet.

I’m aiming for a low power build, that should be rather compact,

Considering that OP was targeting an N100 I don’t think an old Xeon, especially one without integrated graphics, would be close to that.

Only if you assume it does.

Emphasis on the active part. It’s listening, but passively for the keyword. The phone isn’t constantly sending all the data it hears 24/7 off to someone else. But once that keyword has been activated now it’s actively listening and that data is being recorded and sent.

Always sanitize your links when sharing them. Look at the querystring (everything after the ?, separated by &) most of that data isn’t needed.

YouTube link? Delete the si=(value) v= is the video.

Computers became fast enough about 20 years ago for everything short of gaming for the average user.

The internet will also bring even a modern machine to it’s knees. I recently upgraded my computer at home because the poor 8th gen 6 core i5 was crying in pain. Thanks modern web devs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET

The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was the first wide-area packet-switched network with distributed control and one of the first computer networks to implement the TCP/IP protocol suite. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet. The ARPANET was established by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (now DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense.

Your phone typically isn’t actually listening to you. Constantly recording and uploading that data would destroy your battery.

A lot of it is just the metadata from ads, apps, location, nearby devices etc. Your phone doesn’t need to know that you were watching CNN last night. CNN knows that this IP was watching them, google knows that your phone was at that IP at that time, so it can assume you watched CNN last night.

That’s great if you’re in the mindset of “just wipe and reload it’s not a problem” But most people who aren’t chronic computer users aren’t like that. Spending 2+ hours resetting up their computer to be just like it was isn’t fun to most people.

One thing I find myself wondering about is whether we shouldn’t try and make the “ACPI” extensions somehow Windows-specific. If seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. … Maybe we couid define the APIs so that they work well with NT and not the others even if they are open. Or maybe we could patent something relaled to this.

This is insane… Isn’t it like the textbook definition of lobbying?

No, that’d be something along the lines of racketeering and/or bribery. Lobbying is trying to influence someone to do something. If you do it with nice words that’s not typically much of a problem. But when you say you’re going to make sure they’re going to earn a lot of money from doing X then that’s bribery.

Not bd considering that Linux is still less than 5% of the market share.

The goal of these evens are to make co workers socialize with each other. So that way when they’re working on things they know that a week ago at the event bob said he dealt with X, I can ask him what he did. Or John studied Y in school, he could probably help me with this. If you just send everyone home then you’re building an anti social environment where people just exist around each other, and because they’re busy with work don’t take the time to get socialize and get comfortable around the people they’re working with.

I was going to say why is this news now? This was a big thing at the end of 2023. Like they even mentioend it in the article.

The practice first came to light in 2023 when Senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice

The devices you’re looking for are hyper niche devices that very few people actually want. Most people don’t want more than a basic ereader with an eink display.

Some Dell with a Pentium 3. I didn’t use it much and eventually got a Compaq laptop with a Pentium M of some sort. Also didn’t use that too much. But eventually we got an Asus G50v gaming laptop and I used the shit out of that thing.

Can you just get an aux cable and plug that in?

I actually don’t like the look or feel of my 15 vs my older 13.

I keep my 15 in a case, and fondle my 13.

I’ve been messing with that tool on and off from the day it was available to developers. I’m well aware of it. It’s ass.

It’s been a few months since I’ve used it so maybe it’s gotten better? But this is Apple and gaming, so I don’t have high hopes.

It’s not at all comparable to proton other than it does the bare minimum to make a game work. All of the tools and tweaks that go into proton are what make it so good. Maybe for CS2 someones put in the work to make it ok. But whether it’s through crossover, wiskey, or whatever else it’s been awful for me. Maybe version 2 is better. But even then I doubt it will be as seamless or good as proton is.

Linux has proton, Mac OS doesn’t.

If they give half a shit about it then supporting the gam through proton is a lot less effort than making an actually good native linux version.
