IHawkMike@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions?0·11 days agoYou definitely should still check this, but even with proper indexing settings Windows is still garbage at search and has been since XP.
And this is coming from one of the only people who ever defends MS on Lemmy.
Exactly! It’s not like you need them to learn good habits to become self-sufficient workers when they grow up.
As much as we beg and plead him, our dog is never going out to get a job. Might as well spoil him with treats and belly rubs!
IHawkMike@lemmy.worldto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Apparently it was in the manual, but I'm just learning it now.English0·2 months agoAlso it was black on red to make it harder to photocopy. I remember my mom being proud that she’d used the filters on the fancy copier she had at work to copy this sheet.
You clearly know more than me, but wouldn’t everything from 4GB to 1TB have the same number of walks? And one more walk gets you up to 256TB?
No that’s not how it works. Handling a larger address space (e.g., 32-bit vs 64-bit) maybe could affect speed between same sized modules on a very old CPU but I’m not sure that’s even the case by any noticeable margin.
The RA in RAM stands for random access; there is no seeking necessary.
Technically at a very low level size probably affects speed, but not to any degree you’d notice. RAM speed is actually positively correlated with size, but that’s more because newer memory modules are both generally both bigger and faster.
Yep this is exactly right. Too many people are unaware that their votes are not anonymous on Lemmy and blocking the public tool only helps the bad guys who already know this. I’ve always thought this was a major weakness in Lemmy but I don’t have a solution myself without some other major drawback.
I think probably votes should be anonymized or batched between servers so that only your instance’s admins can see individual votes and you just have to trust the instances you federate with that they aren’t pulling any shenanigans or otherwise defederate. That’s not an easy problem to solve, but it’s not like it’s not currently possible to manipulate votes with a federated server, it would just be harder to detect. Regardless I think the need for privacy wins here.
Definitely malware, as everyone has already said.
Hardee’s curly fries are the best. By extension I guess that means Carl’s Jr. too, but I wouldn’t know.
