me: mueheheh
- Your second party isn't the recipient but just another MTA on the way.
There are a lot of things what can leak your correspondence as is before it would land in someone's mailbox.
- > but I realized that email is inherently insecure
I've always seen Proton benefits as a moot point because it's not E2E to the other side. You can encrypt all you want but as soon as you actually communicate with anyone (this is the email after all) you are now give all your messages to a third party often times without any encryption at all.
- MX440, my beloved.
Somewhat surprisingly it sometimes had a better performance than Radeon 9200 precisely because it lacked pixel shaders and yet had a good enough perf.
- Not a problem for MWLL - it's still the Crysis engine anyway.
But seriously, claiming "dog slow" is certainly an overstatement. You lose some of the top performance, not below - and it's still ~4/16GB/s
- It sound like you've successfully inserted Tualeron into BP6 and it worked out of the box.
- I'm not even sure if CD/DVDs are selling anywhere. Sure, there are some niche shops out there, along with flea and retro markets but otherwise...
- Anything later than and including x4x has M.2 BOSS support and in 2026 you shouldn't buy anything lower than 14th gen. But yes, cheap SSDs serve well as the ESXi boot drives.
- > I don't want to be forced to have my spinning platters connected via NVM
It's called a PCIe disk controller and you just accustomized to have one built-in in the south bridge.
- > Now, mainstream PCs only need one type of internal drive
More so it would only need one drive. ODD is dead for at least 10 years and most people never need another internal drive at all.
- > I bought her paper versions of the same books.
Then e-ink screen would provide the same benefits ie: contrast.
- Only if you are not locked out of the registrar. Then your only hope is what nobody would squat your domain when it lapses.
Eg: Dynadot decided what my birthdate is a secure pin two years ago. No combination of it works and I'm not even sure if I'm not shadowbanned for the attempts.
- > programmer time spent dogfooding the new audio format can be used towards something else that improves the value of the end product
Like exploring the 'widely accepted industry practices' and writing code to duplicate the assets, then writing the code to actually measure what it did what the 'industry practices' advertised and then ripping this out, right?
And please note what you missed the 'if it really bothers you'.
- Yes, I read the article back then, it's just came to my interest what there are multiple submissions at the same time (and now again) on a very... obscure topic.
- > Why? What are you trying to solve here? You're going to have a hard time making a new format that serves you better than any of the existing formats.
Storage space. But this is the way for the same guys who duplicate 20Gb seven times 'to serve better by the industry standard'.
More sane people would just pack that AD/PCM in a .pk3^W sorry in a .zip file (or any other packaging format with LZ/7z/whatever compatible compression method) with the fastest profile and would have the best of the both worlds: sane storage requirements, uncompressed in memory. As a bonus it would be loaded faster from HDD because a data chunk which is 10 times smaller than uncompressed one would be loaded surprise 10 times faster.
- > but if you want to keep your mp3 compressed, you get a delay
If that really bothers you then write your own on-disk compression format.
> why we use uncompressed audio
> ADPCM
... which is a compressed and lossy format.
- > The point is that playback of uncompressed audio
Bullshit. This is not a problem since 2003.
And nobody forbids you to actually decompress your compressed audio when you are loading the assets from the disk.
- > But if someone ever got closer to filling up the disk in the past, the chances of contiguous gigabytes are much lower
Someone installing a 150GB game sure do have 150GB+ of free space and there would be a lot of continuous free space.
But yes, while there is a heavy skew to the web tech., there are enough of people who do the things.
Currently I'm roped to my old hat of a typical SMB sysadmin and.. there are not fun 5hings for the profession.
