Unimportant nitpick: Linux Mint 22.3 was released this week. There is no Mint 23 yet.

(it was OP’s mistake but they at least added “(?)” to indicate they weren’t sure)

I don’t know the technical details, all I know is that if I click Shut Down while I have unsaved work open, it tells me about it and doesn’t just kill everything.

“mainstream PC memory and storage costs rose by 40 percent to 70 percent, resulting in cost increases being passed through to customers.”

40 to 70 percent? Isn’t it more like 300 to 400 percent?

Stop spreading this lie. Linux has a more graceful shutdown process than Windows ever did. It doesn’t abruptly kill everything.

Actually I was saying that whoever wrote that was being silly for thinking the cat didn’t like them. I can’t even imagine a scenario where text over an image of a cat isn’t accurate. That just doesn’t happen.

“Yesterday”. Most cats take more time than that to adjust to a big change like that!

You mean to tell me you don’t have a CNC machine at home? Even the most barebones of homes must have arc welding gear stashed somewhere, right?

Now you’ve ended up in the Lego builds part of YouTube.

I think you misread a word there

All I see is a bed with an extra pillow.

I think so, but if I’m honest, there’s a chance I’m just imagining it 😅

I’m pretty sure that generally some particles break off from either side whenever you cut something in half. When I cut paper with scissors I get a distinct smell, that’s clearly paper particles that have escaped into the air. Under the right conditions you may even see some dust.

When using a saw it is very explicitly removing material to create a gap between the two sides. You can see this clearly in a lot of woodworking videos on YouTube. For other tools like a knife, it’s not as obvious, but I still think some material will inevitably be lost no matter what you do.

Maybe some extremely specialized nano-scale methods can cut things without losing material, but I doubt that’s something you can do on an everyday life scale.

Disclaimer: I’m not an expert and I did 0 research, just giving my opinion and personal knowledge (which may be wrong).

Israel?

Yes, this isn’t new but it’s resurfacing thanks to the Steam Machine. Basically (off my memory), part of your title is accurate: AMD did create a FOSS driver with HDMI 2.1 which does not violate HDMI forum requirements, but the HDMI forum still vetoed it. I don’t know if it would necessarily “disclose the specification” as the first part of your title suggests, but I didn’t dig into the details enough to say for certain.

Basically a dick move by HDMI. Maybe Valve can push their weight on this, we’ll see.

That’d be suicide.

Are there a lot of 65" PC monitors?

I wanted to downvote you for failing to pick up on the sarcasm, but then you went and did all that math that I was too lazy to do and I ended up upvoting you instead. Damn you!

Either this is faked for the meme or something is very very wrong.

Thanks… I have downvoted my own comment in shame. Godspeed!
