rooting breaks saftey net checks. some services claw back a handful of apps that checks for it but not all.

most usually involve banking, one funny one notorious for breakinf under root is mcdonalds app. nintendo games usually break under it, but can often easily be bypassed.

it was less illegal and more the dev took money to quit it.

pia is terrible for privacies for government (five eyes country host), but its a fine budget option for privacy against business (piracy).

its an okay vpn as long as you are fully aware on what youre paying for

supply side jesus has different rules

i typically do not have auto correct on because i tend to type on a lot of tech oriented sites which tend to have a lot of acronyms i dont want autocorrected.

while typing this, i had to correct 3 words.

i typo a lot on mobile because small phone and i tap to text and not swipe gesture.

ive seen this running endeavor on my media nas box, so I think its a plasma issue, as it didnt happen before when i had it running debian with i forgot which DE and version.

it sets the physical brightness of my monitor down and actually affects when i switch inputs to my windows based conputer

science will always find ways to turn corn into anything.

the first step if you have 0 clue is find out if the switch you have can be hacked via software. yhr ones yhat can be hacked via software, are the ~20M switched produced before May 2018. If your switch was made after (e. g model with the better battery life switch lite, switch oled, the few patched oh switch after 2018) it requires a hard mod to hack, or alternatively use a switch cart.

firmware for the switch im particular doesnt matter much unless youre hacking it with pegasus(?), which means you had an ancient swotch that eas never updated past like fw 4.0

though if you had a bad experience with jailbreaking nintendo stuff, I dont recommend it unless youre willing to learn about the upkeep about how to handle updates and stuff. the switch is alightly harder than previous devices (and imo isnt a high bar, but if you had problems with previous devices, its not looking good)

i broke debian on my plex server and said fuck it and migrated to endeavor because im more familiar with arch

its actually the sole reason why i ended up paying for plex myself. its not because on ME that i ended up using plex, its moreso everyone else that I want to give my server access to with the least amount of hurdles that made me ultimately go that route.

its usually because HR didnt interpret tequirements correctly. sometimes when it says 5 years on x language what was originally meant to be said is that you are a programmer that has programmed for at least 5 years (kinda mid level) and you have mid experience with said language, and not necessarily 5 years of said language.

so 5 years of java programming should actually say

5 years of programming/mid seniority programmer who is comfortable with java

how I see it is what one intends to use the software for. for ones self, and for commision work, the other options are perfectly fine (and imo encouraged). the sole reason why someone would use the adobe products is if theyre looking to work in a company already using the suite, or they already just happen to have the skillset already in it, and switching would change workflow.

anyone learning from the start imo should consider the other options first.

you mean its not En Gee Nix?

is it possibly, yes. but if you have to ask yhat its possible, you likely dont have the skillset required to do it, and paying somone else is typically not cost effective

which phoronix in question doesn’t do a raytracing section in particular with, so what data are yuou expecting phoronix to pump out? Their literal choice for raytracing is Quake RTX, as its linux native title. This is a situation where you’re looking at the wrong type of reviewer if you want a specific piece of content.

of course its not all games, but it becomes significantly more messy for the reviewer to test it becuase you start getting anomolous data based on a decision made in advance.

also its a phoronix review, and last I recall, raytracing is spotty on linux and dependant if it uses wine or not. in the case for liek cyberpunk it does, but if a game doesnt natively have raytracing, its uses are more mixed

because actual FPS becomes volitile regardless of GPU because at 1080p, many games become CPU bottlenecked, so it becomes less of a question of the GPU being able to do something, but if your CPU is fast enough to maintain it. the benchmark then becomes very muddy because it may not be representative of what to actually expect.

The previous generations 4090 was already very cpu bottlenecked often at 1080p alone.

if youre considering a 5080 or 5090 for 1080p, youre looking at the wrong market.

how the applicant thinks breaks down problems and handles how to answer them matters more than if the code is actually functional on the spot
