Aren't most x86 executables being built now still favoring compatibility to performance? I think I've read that just targeting the current gen CPUs while compiling can bring up to 20% improvements.

There's also the fact that mainstream news in most countries consist of 50% local and 50% US news.

Is there any information on the performance impact of the microcode fix or is it too early for that?

I spent some time on reddit recently and it felt even more like I was talking to children most of the time. Constant arguing which quickly turns into insults makes it impossible to have any productive conversation. Maybe it has always been that way and using lemmy provided a direct comparison, but I'm not sure that I want to be on there any more.

"Configure port forwarding" covers pretty much all of the steps. I don't think that it would be any less secure than quickconnect through a relay, but if security is a priority, then look into setting up a VPN to your network instead.

I'm not a qualified professional, but from what I've read over the years bipolar disorder mood swings last at least a few days and definitely not minutes. It might be some kind of a personality disorder, in which case therapy can help immensely.

You say you're using QuickConnect, do you know if you're getting a direct connection to your NAS or one through QuickConnect relay service? Maybe try opening the required ports and checking again.

Currently I can connect my phone to a set of speakers at a small local café, several of my expensive over ear headphones, aux input of my friend's car, and a 70 cent lapel mic. Can I carry a dongle with me everywhere? Probably. Will I remember to do it? Probably not.

I feel like all these new captchas (especially the die sum one) will soon be easier for bots than for real humans.

Wait, is this google basically admitting they've been scamming advertisers by taking their money to show ads to bots?

Commercial use as in hosting it for somebody else, self-hosting it for your org is still ok

I don't know the details, but, even though I appreciate the tech behind it, in my experience signal hasn't been that great (not even accounting for the need to ask people to install it). The calls always have a delay, the UI isn't as responsive as either Telegram or WhatsApp, no ability to edit sent messages, no history when logging in from a computer. Any of these aren't that big of a deal, but definitely a downgrade compared to the competition.
