My previous bank forced 8 characters with only numbers and letters.

I guarantee your system is less secure than the worst password manager. Humans are inherently bad at choosing passwords, or anything to do with randomness really.

Please clarify what you mean because your comment is giving me these vibes.

Most websites don’t allow multiple failed logins and, even if they did, the network latency alone would make brute force attacks useless. The point of having a high entropy password is to protect against hackers brute forcing a leaked database of hashes. Having different passwords for every website also protects against this so, as usual, the answer is “just use a password manager”.

Yeah, I just meant I switch the default from Kate to KWrite

I don’t use calc for much more than basic calculations. Even speedcrunch was too much for my taste. Honestly, I’d use bc if it wasn’t for the complicated syntax.

1. VLC with SMPlayer. I don’t understand why they keep shipping VLC as default. It sucks.
2. Kate with KWrite.
3. Nano with Vim in *buntu variants
4. Elisa, Rhythmbox, etc. with Strawberry. Although I mostly just use Spotify nowadays.
5. Calculator with calc.

Everything else works just fine, unless the distro made an insane choice like having XTerm as the default terminal emulator.

It knows what taste is.

I guess it wouldn’t make sense to measure energy used by gas-powered appliances in Wh since they’re not rated in Watts. Still, measuring volume and then converting to energy seems unnecessarily complicated.

Joules (J) are the official unit of energy. 1W=1J/s. That means 1Wh=3600J or that 1J is kinda like “1 Watt second”. You’re right that Wh is easier since everything is rated in Watts and it would be insane to measure energy consumption by seconds. Imagine getting your electric bill and it says you’ve used 3,157,200,000J.

Since Pi is infinite and non-repeating, would that mean any finite sequence of non-repeating digits from 0-9 should appear somewhere in Pi in base 10?

Does any possible string of infinite non-repeating digits contain every possible finite sequence of non repeating digits?

Let’s abstract this.

S = an arbitrary string of numbers

X = is infinite

Y = is non-repeating

Z = contains every possible sequence of finite digits

Now your statements become:

Since S is X and Y, does that mean that it’s also Z?

Does any S that is X and Y, also Z?"

You can also ask chatgpt its thought process and it’s very easy to sniff out when it’s hallucinating something. It’s an incredibly useful tool and I really don’t know anyone in tech that doesn’t use it.

Yep. 4 is a terrible sample size, I didn’t even look at the results since the point I was trying to make was about selection bias, which you seem to understand so I don’t know why you even thought posting the previous comment was a good idea.

I’ll apologize for calling your comment stupid, though. That was unnecessarily hostile of me and uncalled for.

I actually upgraded to Windows 11 specifically because I was told they fixed HDR. I do have an RX7600 so it’s technically “last gen” but I’m running DP (I have no idea which version but it has to be at least 1.4 because it runs 1080p at 180Hz). Washed out SDR content isn’t that bad, I actually didn’t even notice until I dragged a window playing SDR content to my second monitor that doesn’t have HDR and the blacks looked, well, blacker. I don’t doubt that it’s worse on Linux, I wasn’t trying to defend it. Just wanted to point out that it seems like no OS that isn’t designed to run only on TVs gives a crap about the HDR experience.

I get that, but the suggestion is still to have a dedicated device to play Fortnite and that’s exactly what I’m doing, the device just happens to be a PC running Windows.

I run W11 daily and it isn’t fixed. Sure, HDR content works but my screen needs to flicker for a bit before it gets enabled and sometimes it doesn’t. Don’t even get me started on games that require you to have it on in the system before you can turn it on in the game. Sure, I could just leave it on all the time but then SDR content looks washed out. I’m not saying it doesn’t work, just that it’s kinda annoying. As you mentioned, I can just turn on my TV, play an HDR video and it works, then switch to a SDR content and it also works. When am I getting that experience on PC?

Security nightmare.

LOL. Never tried HDR on Linux but I find it very funny that it sucks on Linux because it sucks on Windows too. What the hell doesn’t it suck on? I need to try it my wife’s Macbook.
