Of course i cannot say whether this is thefirst time this joke was made.
I love the idea of distrobox/toolbx!
but ive never understood why they by default share the home directory. They still overwrite each others config filesand leave a huge mess in the home dir. And last time i tried it wasn’t possible to really isolate things. Has thisimprovesd?
That is very very explicitly just the name of technical the specification. Its a documents for people who design usb devices. The tech media failed us by reporting on it like they did.
The spec also explicitly tells us that we should refer to the usb cables/ports/devices as e.g. “USB4 40Gib” or “USB 3 20GiB”. So in fact we have easy to understand names but only a few manufacturers actually print that on the boxes or cables.
The only “drama” I recall is that one guy, who ran an unofficial forum, went on a weird rant about how Godot is a scam because he thought development was too slow or something. He then shut down his unofficial forum. That’s a long shot from “being destroyed”.
But maybe I missed something?
(Edit: I had misspelled “forum” as “form”. Sorry if that confused anybody)
Just today I was wondering why I only have a 500GB sata ssd in my Laptop and then I realized that I bought it in 2018 and the price difference was just not worth it at the time. Nowadays it feels like one might as well get a 2TB nvme. If prices keep falling like this soon a 4x4TB nvme NAS will be positively cheap!
There are portals: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/desktop-integration.html#portals . they allow secure access to many features. Also any flatpak app still has access to a private app-specific filesystem, just not to the host.
Doesn’t work for all applications but for many sand boxing is possible without a loss of features.
Actually the naming scheme you propose e.g. USB4 80Gb is the real naming scheme! It’s officially what the specification demands manufacturers label their products. “USB4 version 2” and so on are explicitly only the names of the internal standards that only concern people writing drivers or designing chips.
I have no idea what tech journalist are smoking. This has been a problems for so many years but they keep using the internal names. I mean nobody is complaining about having to always say “IEEE 802.11bn” instead of WI-FI 8
Tipp for people wanting to get into rechargeable AA and AAAs: get IKEA Ladda batteries and their charger. They are cheap and japanese made. Some people argue that they are just relabeled Panasonic eneloops!
Edit: Oh also if you used rechargeable batteries in the past and you remember them sucking that’s probably true. But the battery chemistry is better now and it’s possible that your batteries degraded quickly because of “dumb” chargers. Modern chargers like the gray 4 battery Ikea charger detect how and for how long to charge and thus will not ruin the batteries.
