That doesn’t apply as a solution here. After all Jia Tan did make pull requests, the pressure came later.

Yes, if I recall correctly the Darwin kernel does implement the POSIX standard.

Agreed, and since we’re at it, same for compilers honestly.

Yeah if we narrow the question down to specifically consumer level OSes, then the best chance would be if some really big conglomerate decided they needed their own independent thing. Like Google did with Fuchsia, next time Samsung or the Chinese State perhaps. But even then a scenario like Android or Tizen would be the more likely outcome, a different userland implemented on Linux.

The Systems group at ETH Zürich where I studied had their own operating system, called Barrelfish because apparently making an OS is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel to these crazy people (this is meant positively, I hold them in high esteem). Side note they also made their own computer called Enzian. The combination of both is intended to allow them to do research off the beaten path with some different core design choices.

And we built our own student versions of barrelfish-like OSes during a course, if I recall correctly we only used their boot code to get the ARM cores on the Pandaboards up and running, then everything else was individual per group of four. We all had a lot of fun with our very individual memory management bugs, filesystem bugs, shell bugs, capability bugs and so on :-)

PS: There is also Redox OS where some people wrote an OS completely in Rust.

You haven’t mentioned what sort of access link or speed you have, that seems very relevant here.

For my 1Gbit/s fiber connection the Edgerouter 6P has been pretty good. It has an SFP port and can route 1 Gbit/s of traffic without issue and my dual-stack setup works well too.

The only significant downside is that its switching is slow, it has no hw support. So I put my NAS on a separate subnet instead so that the traffic to it can be routed instead.

And why isn’t “a male” just as bad?

It is.

And what’s intrinsically wrong about those two as a noun?

Because you’re reducing people to their characteristics of identity.

Why is it ok to call someone “a fire fighter“, “a journalist”, and not “a female”?

Because those are characteristics of their chosen functions.

It seems pretty easy to me, and I’m not even a native speaker.

My wife tells me that using as an adjective is just as bad and that I should always say “woman”, e.g. a woman politician and never a female politician.

Using a noun as an adjective is just weird, honestly.

Premium product experience

The hardware is pretty premium, but the software is such a pain. As a result the overall experience is just “okay”.

In the 15 years I’ve had a mobile phone I have changed around 5 times. But the last one was just an upgrade that added 40 GB of data while roaming in the EU, US and Canada to my previous unlimited plan for Switzerland only. That increased the cost from 20 to 25 Swiss Franks per month.

When I first played DOOM I was a bit afraid of the monster sounds. I would usually ask my little sister if she could color her things in my room so I wouldn’t be alone while playing. I was way too bad to ever finish the game back then. I used to ask my father to make me “untötbar” (unkillable) because the word “unverwundbar” (invulnerable) was too difficult for me.

But I really like the reboot and DOOM Eternal especially.

DOOM Eternal on Nightmare is so much fun. I filled all three saveslots with runs of it. And then the DLC came out, kicking it up another notch!

Wow the SEO world is really sick

The easy way to get a clean copy is to download it directly from Microsoft. You can generate a valid download link using the follwing website (just make sure the domain of the generated link points to Microsoft and nothing bad can happen)

Ah so you didn’t actually answer OPs question, I misunderstood your intent.

Oh how does one use Signal as a Telegram Client?

Btw did you know Swiss cheese has copy protection? I know the thought is pretty random, but I thought I’d share anyway.

Is this indicative of future potential bottlenecks? Maybe but i wouldnt be so sure.

This is exactly what I expect. I have seen what happened to my friends with their GTX 970 when 3.5 GB of VRAM wasn’t enough anymore. Even though the cards were still rasterizing quickly enough they weren’t useful for certains games anymore. Therefore I recently make sure I go for enough VRAM to extend the useful service life of my cards.

And I’m not just talking about buying AMD, I actually do buy them. I first had the HD 5850 with 1GB, then got my friends HD 5870 also with 1GB (don’t remember if I used it in crossfire or just replaced), then two of my friends each sold me their HD 7850 with 2GB for cheap and I ran crossfire, then I bought a new R9 380 with 4GB when a game that was important to me at the time couldn’t deal with crossfire well, then I bought a used RX 580 with 8GB and finally the RX 6800 with 16 GB two years ago.

At some point I also bought a used GTX 960 because we were doing some CUDA stuff at University, but that was pretty late, when they weren’t current anymore, and it was only used in my Linux server.

That seems weird, it’s called mother of all breaches, but isn’t the result of any one breach. It’s just data collection from ordinary breaches with perhaps some credential stuffing in the mix.
