No?! Have you read the title of this post?

What? No. If DLSS requires less memory, you can use more memory for other things. This means you can use a less beefy GPU, which is worse for Nvidia.

Less VRAM usage means you can use higher-quality models and textures.

As use has been scaling up, the big companies try to use smaller and cheaper models to save money.

AFAIK the Crowdstrike issue wasn’t a driver update, just virus definitions outside the driver, so your method wouldn’t have helped.

Yeah! Release a butthole cut, you cowards!

why do you think they have you sign up with a phone number in the first place?

Again, spam & abuse prevention. We’ve been over this.

I’m sorry that not everyone thinks Signal is a god app worthy of worship. its a message app, and its not the only one. it does stuff some people don’t like. including me.

I’m not saying that Signal is a god app worthy of worship, I’m saying it’s detrimental for them to include SMS functionality, since that’s fundamentally insecure. That’s literally why they removed it. Is that so hard to understand?

Spam isn’t a binary issue, where it either exists or doesn’t. It could very well be the case that, without requiring a phone number, there’d be far more spam (since it’d be far easier to automatically create new accounts).

Again, do you have a better suggestion for spam & abuse prevention?

And still, aside from that - it doesn’t really make sense to expect Signal to offer SMS integration just because it requires a phone number for spam prevention, when offering this integration would be detrimental towards the mission of Signal (offering secure messages).

Do you have a better approach to prevent spam in mind? Without a barrier of entry it becomes a serious issue.

What? You use a secure messenger to send secure messages. It doesn’t make sense for a secure messenger to offer sending insecure messages (SMS).

Edit: oh, you’re probably referring to why it requires a phone number. This seems to be due to abuse/spam prevention, as otherwise creating new accounts to spam people with is basically free.

It’s arguably a very bad idea for a secure messenger to also provide an SMS interface, since those are basically cleartext

Do you know how long a man can survive on nothing but cheese?!

If you do, please let me know, it’s been weeks and some things aren’t working right anymore, and I’m scared

But if both sides are your enemies, they’re both your friends. But if they’re your friends, they aren’t the enemies of your enemies anymore, which would make them your enemies once again. But then they are your friends again. But then

My favorite song is “Wir sind die Bibenböpenmannen” by Kraftwerk

Though naming it by the following year instead of the release year is clearly a marketing move.

Sorry, but that’s absolutely wrong - the complexity of articles can vary wildly. Many are easily understandable, while many others are not understandable without a lot of prerequisite knowledge in the domain (e.g. mathematics stuff).

If the reader is interested in the content, they aren’t going to skip it.

But they aren’t interested in the content because of the complexity. You may wish that humans work like you describe, but we literally see that they don’t.

What you can do is provide a simplified summary to make people interested, so they’re willing to engage with the more complex language to get deeper knowledge around the topic.

For example, look at all the iPad kids who can’t use a computer for shit. Kids who grew up with computers HAD to learn the more complex interface of computers to be able to do the cool things they wanted to do on the computer.

You’re underestimating how many people before the iPad generation also can’t use computers because they never developed an interest to engage with the complexity.

[…] then how are those readers going to improve their poor reading skills?

By becoming interested in improving their poor reading skills. You won’t make people become interested in that by having everything available only in complex language, it’s just going to make them skip over your content. Otherwise there shouldn’t be people with poor reading skills, since complex language is already everywhere in life.

Yooo that slaps

I have three app stores installed on my Android, yet none hog my RAM. This is a non-issue (especially since an update checker doesn’t run all the time, only on infrequent intervals which are triggered by the OS itself).
