I think the average Instagram or TikTok user must be using more than 100GB/month. And if you count YouTube and Netflix, it's probably more than that.
My smart TV used 483 GB in the last 30 days

The blizzard you know is completely dead. No one from their classic games is around. No one who made Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft, etc is around. Those games were made as a labor of love.
WoW is coming back I think! Metzen is back and the classic wow team seems to know what they're doing and are developing in good faith. SoD is the best thing to happen to WoW in years imo
Now we need to have a linux driver that lets run Windows after kernel panic and we can switch between them without reboot, just like we wanted 20 years ago...
Been using Linux as my daily driver for 5 years and have never seen a Kernel panic, so there's probably no drive to do it :P
I use Linux. You absolutely need to drop down to the command line at times. Upgrading my Kennel, or Graphics driver breaks something like 20% of the time for me.
I think the point is that the Linux command line is more functional and easier to navigate than the Windows command prompt

> given I've seen ChatGPT provide reasoning at a level many humans fail to reach on a regular basis.
and you don't know for sure if it was really reasoning or memorization and stochastic parroting. From another hand there are many research results demonstrating that neural networks have limitation in learning even something like multiplying numbers with many digits.
Is there a difference between memorization + stochastic parroting if it is indistinguishable from human understanding?
If a hunk of metal looks like a car, sounds like a car, and drives like a car is it a car?

I bought a washing machine from them and it had continuous problems for several months, until I got a refund.
The technician advised me to buy from Miele, Siemens or Bosch, as Samsung apparently has lots of issues.
Printers
Dishwashers
Washing machines
The unholy Trinity of appliance hell. Every brand that makes these has issues. If you get 3-5 years of use out of any of them (post ~2005) you're lucky.
I'm firmly convinced that every washing machine or dishwasher brand just wants to steal from you
> what the most efficient path to learning a new language is.
This is assuming that there is a "most efficient path to learning a new language" that applies to everyone.
That's the nice thing about ai though, it could be tailored to your experience and learn so you do. For example if you are progressing on pace with similar learners it could apply a different learning program or vary course materials until it sees improvement

That does sound good and of course valve are interested in getting it more widespread and compatibility down.
[s] My only concern is that "out of the box" is what most people expect. Not all gamers would be knowledgeable about how to compile proton for their vanilla Ubuntu. Although who knows! [/s]
Still I would love something for MacOS but looks like this would be a pain to compile.

This guy is clearly trolling
"AppData" is where user specific application data is supposed to be stored.
"The Registry" is where application configuration is supposed to be stored.
"ProgramData" is where application specific data is supposed to be stored.
"Program Files" is where read-only application binaries and code is supposed to be stored.
It really is a simple concept from a Windows perspective. What ruins everything is overzealous and/or ignorant programmers who don't take any pride in their work, or lack all respect for the users environment. For example; an .ini file should not be a thing in Windows. That is what the registry is for. But the programmer writes the code for Linux, half-ass ports it to Windows, and leaves the .ini file because his code is more important to him than the end-users operating system.
There is nothing wrong with AppData permissions. The problem is with the users understanding of what it is for, and the developers understanding of how it should be used.
Can't blame the programmer for that - Windows shouldn't allow the programmer to do stupid shit
Microsoft's %Appdata% directory is a security nightmare in my opinion. Ideally applications should only have access to their own directories in %Appdata% by default. I recently came across a python script on GitHub that allows to decrypt passwords the browser stores locally in their %Appdata% directory. Many attacks could be prevented if access to %Appdata% was more restricted.
I also found a post of an admin a few days ago where he asked if there was a Windows setting for disallowing any access to %Appdata%. The response was that if access to %Appdata% is completely blocked Windows won't work anymore.
So - the moral of the story is to never use Windows?
