Not an expert but I thought I would share my thoughts based on experience. When you look at the size of a file it's stored in actual metadata of the file so it can be accessed quickly however since a folder is a collection of files it can't easily keep that info. Once you ask the is what the size it is has to go and add up the values of each file contained in it. This can take a bit of time especially with larger folders so if windows constantly calculated the size of every folder it would just waste resources and make everything painfully slow. Again not an expert this is just how I think it happens.

Pretty sure this is just a new way of anonymous posting. I run my local FB community page and it recently asked me if I wanted to allow "nicknames" in the group. Assuming that's what these are it just allows people another way to not associate their real name with what they are saying.

Why am I even surprised by the US being the US anymore.

"Hey you know this thing thats super bad?"

"Of course we've known it's bad for many years now"

"Well we should officially condemn it."

"Whoa whoa let's hold up and think about that for a second."

I would hesitate to buy another realink camera. I recently bought an eo2 pro so I could keep an eye on my dogs while I was working. The thought was to just have it open on my second screen but in a recent firmware update they disabled the http and https capabilities. Also no native Linux app so I could only use it on the app on my phone. I did find a github with all the firmware back ports but that behavior is pretty scummy imo

Considering the image at least as uploaded here is 960x660 and assuming the top panel is about 1/4 the height that means each picture is about 768x330 or 253,440 pixels which is way less than the claimed differences. But if you convert it into bytes at 160kb it would be approximately 1,338,163 per side and if you convert it into raw 1s and 0s that gives a much more believable 4,282,122 bits meaning there's about 550,000 bits that are the same which I would think would be the real challenge of finding.

....and now I'm late for work

Those are both their Dead Billionare product and they do both have caffeine. In the old can design it was just listed somewhere else not shown

 

I thought I had finally found a healthy drink I liked with no artificial sweetness and they had to go and fuck it up

I did eventually do that but they do also block links. I just found it dumb I had to go through so many hoops to show a picture for a graphical issue

I just ran into this on the Manjaro forums that they don't allow any pictures. So this issue I have been battling with my GPU artifacting I can't show an example of it

 

Area code blocked for privacy but it is spoofed from my phones number which I have not lived there in many years

 

I've been running Manjaro for a a few years now and don't have very many gripes with the os opposed to some people that seem to hate it. The one major problem I have been battling is the random GPU resets under load for my 5600xt. Usually it's when I'm playing semi intense games but sometimes just while watching YouTube. I have seen some things online about power profiles and undercoating but I have not been able to solve it. My only thought now is that it's something with the mesa driver pack. I am wondering if I were to switch to a distro that supports the official amd drivers if it would be better. I saw pop's new cosmic which looks nice but probably won't be out for while so I'll probably just grab something Debian based with kde, I cannot stand gnome just personal preference. Wondering what peoples opinions are here on this subject.

 

So I have some random thrud party head unit in my car that I am pretty sure is just running a customized version of Android 9 and I am wanting to get Android auto working on it preferably wireless but I think it did come with a USB cable if I need it. I've seen a couple things online such as headunit reloaded but they have mixed reviews just wondering if anyone has tried anything similar with any success
