While I agree enthusiastically, does Skype even have a dominant market position, let alone a monopoly?

Without America, Palestine would be united and free by now. A single multicultural country from the river to the sea that can recognize and celebrate its diverse people and history. Instead though we have a genocidal European colony.

This guy answered “what would you do?” with “enthusiastically support the Nazis”

Wow, how many minutes of military spending does that cover?

Yeah MS has a mixed record for sure. This proves the system does work though, even if it’s not 100% effective

To be clear, you’re complaining that a Microsoft test update identified a bug and that bug was fixed prior to the update being rolled out to most users. This is literally what the test system is for.

Try reading two posts of mine up where I explained it

Bad memory management includes allocating memory you aren’t actually making use of.

Bad memory management can actually slow down applications significantly. Allocating memory is actually a fairly expensive operation. So much that high performance software actually uses a bunch of tricks to avoid extra allocations where possible. Additionally, accessing memory is actually kinda slow for a CPU, and the CPU often has to sit around for many clock cycles waiting for memory to be retrieved if it’s not in the CPU’s cache. If your main data can be stored more compactly, more of that data can fit in your CPU’s cache, reducing that idle time.

I mean nobody had to convince me. I just picked up an old phone and was immediately “why am I carrying around this brick when clearly this exists”

Not using available ram only is true when doing so could offer performance benefits. Many applications can’t be sped up by using more ram. Using more ram for no obvious reason is stupid, especially on a machine that has to do other things at the same time.
