Apps can reserve RAM without using it. It is totally normal for apps to do this on every modern OS. Linux included. The amount of RAM reserved is not the same as the amount of RAM that app is using. And apps don’t have a strangle hold on R being reserved unless that RAM is actually in use. Windows will automatically take reserved RAM away from one app and give it to another app that is out of its reserve space. This is all very normal.
This person fundamentally misunderstands RAM on Windows…
Apps reserve a portion of the total available memory. That memory is not necessarily in use. Memory not in use will still be available to other applications as soon as the system reallocates it when a given application needs more. Usually of you have more RAM, applications will reserve more of it. You can check a better explanation of your current memory usage in the windows resource monitor. You’ll see memory allocated, memory in use, and memory being used to cache data (which windows does to reduce disk reads and writes), as well as memory completely unallocated. Chrome can easily allocate 1/3 of your total available memory by the third tab, but that doesn’t mean chrome is actually using that much.
I actually see these quite often in the wild.
Me right now after just having moved into a new place. Every damn night.
Nintendo is the exclusivity king though. Sony was releasing their exclusives to PC until recently. Microsoft releases their games on multiple platforms these days. If you want exclusivity to stop, you have to vote with your wallet. Zelda is my all time favorite franchise and I haven’t spent a dime on Nintendo in over 8 years because of their BS.
I just like that it can be scripted and run during off hours.
Winget update --all
But yes, this updates any packages distributed by Ms store and winget repos. As an IT professional, I love winget.
They aren’t even saying that. They’re saying, you can’t sell steam platform keys outside of steam for cheaper than you would on steam. Because a steam key provides all of the services and quality of life of buying a game in the steam store (downloads, cloud saves, workshop, multiplayer, etc.). If you sell keys outside of steam for a consumer to use on steam, steam still has to treat that consumer like everyone who bought the game on the marketplace. Also, when you sell a steam key, valve doesn’t take the usual 30% cut of the sale. In fact they take no cut of the sale and STILL provide distribution and services for that sale.
No, it would be like Amazon saying that a manufacturer cannot use Amazon to ship goods sold on their own website if they’re going to sell at a lower price. That is reasonable. Steam keys are a means of distribution. If steam is going to provide the file transfer, cloud saves, multiplayer server hosting, community page, and workshop page for your game, then don’t sell your steam keys for less than the game on steam.
If you want to sell a key for epic for less than you list the game on steam, they do not stop you from doing so.
It is a work of fiction… If a solid premise means it must adhere to every real world realistic standard, you are going to find every single work of fiction lacking.
Presumably the brain network was performing more than the task of simulation. I.E performing processing tasks for the machines. More humans = more brains = more processing headroom (ha, clever) for more machines.
I wasn’t condescending to anyone. I presume, based on the incorrect tense form of a very common English word, and the fact that they appreciated learning a bit of Chinese, they might appreciate some polite correction. Not everything has to carry a negative tone
And now an English lesson:
The past tense of teach is taught. Teached is not a word.
All of the gas around here is under $4…
On windows, ctrl+shift+esc brings up the task manager and not the menu most people click the task manager in.
Shift delete bypasses the recycle bin and deletes the selected files directly.
You’re a weird one. I donate regularly to my most used open source projects if they have a primary development team. But that’s not even the point. The point is, open source software isn’t usually published as a way to make loads of money. Usually open source software is created out of necessity or as a passion project. You won’t convince many Lemmy users that a corporate product meant to generate capital is the better use of time and resources by such a wide margin that we should spend our money on it. Jellyfin exists despite Emby closing source. Feel free to continue to pay for Emby. I’ll use the community resources that are on offer for free and are more than good enough for my use case.
