Technology@lemmy.world•RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web componentsEnglish
58·2 days agoYes, it runs a separate browser instance for each electron program. Many of the programs that use it could just be a PWA instead.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Bazzite just delivered over a petabyte of ISOs in a single monthEnglish
30·8 days agoI’m surprised they don’t have torrent downloads for it. That would save on bandwidth costs and it’s more reliable since torrent clients verify the checksum and automatically redownload any corrupted blocks.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft “Improved” Notepad. I Un-Improved It. - Dave's GarageEnglish
151·8 days agoThere are plenty of good FOSS text editors out there. I certainly don’t want to use one that was barfed up by an AI.

Technology@lemmy.world•Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buyEnglish
36·10 days agoYou can slow the RAM down too. You don’t need XMP enabled if you’re just using the PC as a NAS. It can be quite power hungry.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google's new 'Aluminium OS' project brings Android to PC: Here's what we knowEnglish

Linux@lemmy.ml•Just installed Linux mint on my moms desktopEnglish
2·16 days agoIt’s probably an mSATA SSD. They look like a mini PCIe card, but they are keyed differently and use SATA.

Technology@lemmy.world•HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUsEnglish
136·20 days agoThey are disabling it because the license cost went up 4 cents? Just pass that cost onto the customer. Even if they mark that up several times, I would rather pay that than have my battery drained because I have to software decode a video.
There is still a lot of H.265 content out there. I have many terabytes of it that I don’t want to transcode.

Technology@lemmy.world•Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You AnonymousEnglish
25·21 days agoYou can’t hide or get rid of the browser fingerprint, but some addons can help to randomize it so it looks like you’re using a different device every time you visit a site.

Technology@lemmy.world•Screw it, I’m installing LinuxEnglish
10·21 days agoYou need to backup any data you want to keep to another drive before installing.
Make sure there’s nothing important on the flash drive too. Writing the iso will erase everything on it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Probably a dumb question, but: do I need to do anything to my media drive when swapping from Windows?English
11·22 days agoYou can also use exFAT if you want cross platform support. It’s had a Linux kernel driver for quite a while now.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Your old android phone is begging to be a cheap home server!English
2·22 days agoSome people modify phones to run without an internal battery. That’s a bit of a pain since the screen will have to be detached and there will be wires hanging out though.
Laptops are easier. Most of them will still boot with the battery disconnected. They will usually show a warning during boot and some of them will require you to press a key to continue booting. Running without a battery may limit the performance, especially if you’re not using the highest wattage charger the laptop supports.

Technology@lemmy.world•New battery life record: This CPU makes the best known business laptop more efficientEnglish
133·24 days agoNot when it comes with the huge downside of non upgradeable RAM. I will carry around a huge power bank before I buy a laptop with soldered RAM.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteriesEnglish
1·25 days agoAlmost no one is using NiCd anymore. It’s not hard to design something to run properly from alkaline, NiMH & Li-Ion cells. We have efficient switch mode power supplies that can step the battery voltage up or down to whatever the device needs to run.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteriesEnglish
2·25 days agoPouch cells suck, there are no standard sizes and they like to puff up and break open the case of whatever they are inside of.
