Or you'll see something equally efficient and equally performing at the same power levels..except you'll see newer gens or upgraded skus allowed to pull more power

another useful one is <(cmd here)

It's like $(cmd here) but instead of returning the output of the command as a string passed into the arguments, it makes a new file descriptor for the output of the command and returns the path to it, for use in commands that want a file as an argument.

So for example if you want to use diff to compare your local passwd file to a remote one..

diff -u <(ssh host1 cat /etc/passwd) /etc/passwd

Admittedly I can't think of many things I've used this for outside of diff and alternatives to diff..but I've used it there a lot, like comparing the results of running two slightly different queries.

All I can think of are some variations of you trusting a service to validate your id and give you a token that just asserts your id has been validated.

But it's still not really privacy preserving because it relies on trusting both parties to not collaborate against your privacy. if at some point the id provider decides to start keeping records of what tokens were generated from your id, and the service provider tracking what was consumes with that token, then you can still put it all back together.

then I would install one

Isn't the last version already that..well..last version?

If anything they could just leverage their work with proton that allows steam to play windows games on Linux to provide similar compatibility shims for old windows on modern windows

just say I help improve ad blockers on YouTube and refuse to elaborate.

They don't provide stuff for free, they provide stuff in exchange for your data and to sell ads.

Mega corporations like nestle get their money from us normal civilians not caring about what we consumes impact on the environment.

Like if you literally disbanded nestle over night, not even splitting them up or selling things off but somehow just got rid of them and all their product's... does the negative impact on the environment go away? or do new companies grow to meet the unmet demand and all that's changed is what company is providing cheap goods at the expense of the environment?

rather than allowing edits for invisible edits for X minutes, couldn't your client just delay actually sending it for X minutes allowing to cancel or edit freely until that point?

Gmail allows a similar feature and it seems safer in a distributed system than relying on everyone else to respect what happens after you send a raw message and an edit right after

The average user uses sleep mode and wakes from sleep. Sleep mode should be under 10w, or around $1/mo.

though laptops are notorious for proprietary charging.

I've seen dells that can charge via USBc at full 140w but only on a Dell dock. On any USB PD charger it will only do 60w, and complains about it as it throttles everything.

You're not wrong, but in my case and presumably others there already are USB ports and relevant drivers for both playback of media files, and funny enough for applying security patches or other updates.

In practice I think the concern becomes most USB storage devices are not intended to be constantly written to, while vibrating from the car, and it would definitely destroy data and cause support complaints. But it's still annoying all the hardware and most of the software I want is there and wouldn't take that much more to do what i want.. but instead if they ever do decide to let us use the built in cameras as a dashcam, I expect it will require replacing my entire car with a new model
