See and experience are highly different. Some things in life require experience. This is one of them. They haven't had that life experience, yet. > it definitely matters as to how old they are, and how much they've done. No, it

I'd have to ask, what would a 16 year old know about the "humiliation ritual" of job hunting? They have near-zero non-school responsibilities, near-zero if not zero creditors, no mortgage, no CC, if a car payment/car ins

Seems like the first part of that law would be struck down on First Amendment challenges. Second would be technically impossible, or the responsibility of VPN providers to somehow forward geo-location information for website operators to co

I think you strung together a bunch of words that don't jive with real world experiences. Windows 7 still had some fundamental kernel quality issues. WDDM 1.1 wasn't mature to the point of providing a stable experience across the

Along with this, which is how nearly every major piece of software works today, removing telemetry likely wouldn't have a measurable impact on performance or memory usage. Those aren't heavy subsystems.

Peak in what way? Windows 2000 had sequential service startup. It took /ages/ to boot. The boot screen was pretty, though. XP was a security nightmare and out the gate was BSOD city, much of that thanks to 3rd party drivers, but t

Those production numbers for the Neo are global and from unnamed supply chain sources. I'm not sure why you brought the US workforce population into the equation as that mixes up scales, nor is there a 1:1 relationship between people a

Hopefully they don’t give up the TPM requirement given it also comes with a VBS capable processor which is important to Windows kernel security.

You can disable that behavior in the settings app.

I'm happy for your personal experience; it clearly doesn't jive with the numerous threads on the macos reddit forum for first and third party apps causing OOM issues (which macOS ungracefully handles, unlike NT). > Not sure wha

It's not really that interesting in the landscapes of OSes; modern (or even ancient) Windows and Linux distros have been doing these tasks simultaneously in one form or fashion since 16GiB was seen as a lot of RAM. See my other post fo

It's quite clearly a bug and likely not one easy to diagnose or reproduce given the length of time the bug has remained in macOS. Or a fix would be a drastic breaking change. Or Apple doesn't really care, though I doubt that'

Even NT4 handles memory pressure than modern day Linux. It's just not a fair comparison; Linux has never dealt with userspace OOM well. As for macOS... https://old.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1njf1aj&#x2F

There's nothing particularly interesting about that. Linux distro-of-your-choice can run the equivalents fine, as can Windows. Browse /r/macos if you dare to wade into the uninformed cesspool; it's full of OOTB apps caus

Not really. Larger page sizes mean more potential for wasted memory and it has had a long standing memory leak in some core component to where even Calculator can cause an OOM event.

It works depending on the manufacturer. Honda places the TPU in the dash behind the head unit. Use some spudgers and you can disconnect and remove the TPU. Takes 15 minutes at most.

I pulled the TPUs from my Hondas. There is no software option to disable, but also no features I miss out on (ie Honda app or any of the useless to me subscriptions). Happy I did, along with the ANC/fake engine noise modules. My phone

Power usage is a good reason to stick with non-SFP ports. And you can use CAT5e with 10Gbps networks given the run is short enough. I run 2.5Gbps over CAT5e with no issues throughout my house (I don't need that much bandwidth except wh
