What the fuck is this OP?
The fact that you can’t solve any real life electro-magnetism problem without them kinda put an end to that complex shaming nonsense.
Yet there are still people to miss the absolute poetry of their story.
In 1545, an Italian genius called Gerolamo Cardano was pissed he couldn’t solve square root of negative number.
« Fine! I’ll make it myself » he said, before sending everyone to hell.
He then invented an imaginary number i whose square would be -1.
It wasn’t until centuries later that another famous genius named Leonhard Euler found a practical use of those numbers.
Without those numbers we would still be living like 1800´s peons.
I also heard about a gnome that might hold the secret to find it. He stand in line with us but he doesn’t cook.
If only there was another open source web engine, like some kind of kit to develop a web browser, with privacy in mind.
I don’t know, maybe I’m just daydreaming.
I liked this one more than I expected.
I wish I could upvote twice.
BTW, what if I have an account on Lemmy.world and an account on beehaw.org? Could I upvote twice?
Thank you very much for your time.
Of course there are unreleased 0-days, but you can’t do anything about it.
And that’s exactly my point.
Using a different browser until a particular issue is fixed when you are e.g. a journalist still helps with getting hacked.
Actually no. Because you never know what currently unfixed 0-day is actively exploited in any browser. Using Gecko or Chromium today because Webkit had a security flaw yesterday doesn’t make anything safer. It might comfort you, but that’s it.
The only important metric is the number of 0-day discovered per year per engine. It’s a matter of probability.
Changing engine would be like changing dice because you had a bad number, without knowing how many side you’ll get with the new ones.
0-days that we know of
There definitely are 0-days in every major browser engines.
As a matter of fact, Mozilla is probably working on a 0-day breach that haven’t been published by security watchdogs yet.
In the meantime, that particular WebKit breach has already been patched.
There’s no point skipping places when everything is on fire. The only thing you can do is going where it’s safer on average and stay there.
That must be why iOS 15 and iOS 16 have been patched last night. /s
Gecko has its own problems. Installing Gecko would fix that webkit security breach for sure, but you would end up with gecko’s security breach. So in the end it doesn’t change anything.
It has been patched in Safari Technology Preview 173. We are currently running 181.
Apple released security patches for iOS 15 and iOS 16 yesterday besides iOS 17.1
I’m pretty sure it has been solved already.
I fucking love Dr Angela Collier
It’s really good news to see her here.
EDIT: Oh boy I did so many typos on this one…
I used to spend hours on Warcraft Lore videos and books. This is so sad.
I was an “hardcore” player during WOTLK and Cataclysm, but quit raiding in WOD. I skipped Legion (which I regret) and BFA and then came back for Shadowlands and Classic but ultimately quit playing completely.
The game was awesome, and its lore fantastic, but it lost its magic. I don’t know how to fix it.
I think that a better way to do it is probably in the OS, rather than in-game, on a per-game basis
Low power mode on macOS gives that kind of feature. It works well because the computer never goes beyond a certain threshold of power. I guess it’s a simple downclock of some sort, but the caveat is that it won’t adapt to more demanding zones of the game.
Permit for two different sets of saved video settings, where the player can flip between them. Honestly, I think that this is probably more tweaking than most players are going to do.
I used to do exactly that with macros in World Of Warcraft. I had 3 different kind of setup for Efficiency, Balanced and Quality gaming. That game was the first that I know of to introduce built-in FPS capping during WOTLK extension, and 10 different settings mode plus the ability to make even more custom tweaks. My only wish is that every game developer to do the same.
Provide some kind of adaptive quality mechanism. Then, if the computer becomes “lower end”, then the adaptive quality system just twiddles settings until the target framerate is maintained.
Speaking of WoW, there is a target FPS setting that will make the game lower the compute demand, but it wouldn’t help in my case since it’s meant to use as much compute power as possible to reach an FPS goal. It could do the trick if it could be coupled to a Don’t use more than 50% of the compute power, but I’m not sure a game can understand how much a computer has without reaching its limit first. Maybe some kind of benchmarking could help though.
Speaking as a player, though, I don’t much care about power consumption if a system has wall power.
Me neither. But I do enjoy a silent machine !
For phones, I kind of wish that Google would consider providing a “battery usage” rating in the app store that provides some kind of approximate metric for how much CPU time the game uses while active.
That would be very useful indeed! And another incentive for developers to write better code.
Thank you for your answer anyway!
As I travel a lot, I would love to see a true eco mode for my laptop. Something that would keep my fans quiet (2500rpm max).
Some games allow for FPS capping and lower settings, but it’s not always the case. Sometimes tweaking the settings doesn’t seem to make any difference to power consumption. Sometimes your only way to cap FPS is to rely on VSync, which doesn’t make much when you play on 120Hz screen.
Metro Exodus is a good example of an almost impossible to tweak game.
I think it would be nice to have a dedicated travelling mode. It would effectively help people with lower specs and entice developers to produce a more efficient code, rather than pushing for costly gears.
As a developer myself I know very well it costs money. But if I had a wish to make I’ll go for this one
Of course we forget how it works.
The whole point of the documentation is to help remembering.
Adblockers exist on iOS since like forever. You even have a dedicated tab for them in the Settings.
I personally use Ghostery to kick CMP and Vinegar to play YT videos in the built-in HTML5 player.
