Nowadays most programmers don't need to care about working with bits directly. And in general, it's much better if the system is aligned with literally every other measurement unit in meaning. I also think it's oftentimes deceiving exactly because it's so close to 1000 that you just behave like it is, untill it actually starts making a difference at larger scales.

I think that for most people in 99% of usecases it would be better for MB to actually mean mega, and for the 1% you can clarify with MiB that it's 1024.

You absolutely can build 1000MB storage, literally almost all SSDs to my knowledge use SI units for storage (meaning 1TB = 1000GB). E.g. here, first link I found https://www.crucial.com/ssd/t705/CT2000T705SSD5

under footnote 6. 1 GB = 1 billion bytes

This is a stupid article. Fuck Elon, but I mean who cares how he streams? He's streaming like that exactly because he's rich and doesn't need to give a shit. I find it funny how every suggestion is like "he should have paid someone to do it for him", maybe he wants to do it himself? This is entertainment for him.

Sure, he has zero taste or knowledge of streaming/proper gaming setups, but he doesn't care and neither should you.

No no, this is actually perfect timing. Yes Boeing, please provide all the parts. Hell, rebuild the whole plane while you're at it as well please.

Personaly those shortcuts are a feature I literally never use so much so I don't even register their existence anymore.

I mean it is poetic that it happened immediately after he did that, and it's definitely a stupid decision, but this almost certainly didn't have anything to do with that decision. That's an action whose consequences won't start to materialize till much later on.

Do you mean specs wise or software wise? It's a Lenovo Y50 with 8 gigs RAM, an i5 4210H, and a GTX 960M.

I'm running Ubuntu server with docker and a few containers (mainly Nextcloud)

Ah, didn't realise this was the Privacy community, yeah not main the goto if that's your focus.

Haven't tried any other similar product (except the pro version), but I have the Remarkable 2 and in my experience it's pretty good as an e reader as well. Maybe expensive for just using it as an e-reader but you can also use it as a note taking device. It's pretty big but still really thin and light, so it's a pretty good reading experience especially if you have bigger hands, some people may find it too big as an e-reader tho, but I really like the size.

One recommendation I can make is that if you are interested in it, if you have the money consider the pro version. If notetaking matters to you, the little I experienced writing on the pro version was so much better. The pen is much better as well as the tracking. My version tends to be off by about a millimeter at some places and the edges. This becomes extremely frustrating when you're trying to e.g. dot the i-s and you keep missing where you want to write. From what I saw, the pro version is much better at this and is in colour.

Here's mine. Might need to repaste it tho, the fans are literally always running pretty noticably loudly and CPU temps are at ~49° even though it's idiling all the time at max 1%-2% CPU usage.

On a side note - is it normal for Redis to always be using 1-2% CPU even when there's no traffic?

Yeah dynamic DNS works pretty good for me, after I set it up I never had any problems with it.

Me reading the title: oh it's probably out of context, looking at it objectively he definitely wasn't stupid if he knew how to manipulate people that well, he was just evil

Me reading the text: ok it really is that bad
