Microsoft just deleted Windows 11's 32GB RAM recommendation docs, as prices soar and it rushes to sell 8GB RAM PCs

This thread is full of misconceptions about RAM use. It is normal and efficient for an OS to reserve memory for processes even if it not really used. This memory will be juggled around in case that is needed. It would be very bad for a modern OS if you somehow lowered your used RAM to near 0%. That would make the computer slower.

See for example this: https://www.linuxatemyram.com/

The same thing goes for Windows. It reserves RAM to be used. Like it should be.

Sure, Windows is bloated.

But posting screenshots of your task manager tells us nothing. If it uses 30% of your RAM at start time, that's fine. Or not. Can't really tell.

Rustdesk's lesser known features

Reply in thread

It seems they were trying to hide the app being Chinese, added a trusted certificate on your machine without prompting, complaints about not really being open source, etc. It doesn't look very good to me at this point.

Search around a bit and you will find these issues being raised by people, at the same time the answers fron the team seem very dismissive and amount to "please no politics here".

Check the wikipedia page edits as well, weird stuff. I don't like weird stuff when choosing a remote control software.

Rather paying Anydesk than using this. At this point at least.

Edit: to add, rustdesk was using and sending data to a chinese server for some reason. At least they got an EU one instead, at least according to wikipedia, but that could just resend whatever data forward. This is all just what I see on the net though. But, enough for me to choose something else.

GrapheneOS Foundation Responds To Jolla

I think this is again overblown. Would be better to ignore some forum posters and not make new headlines that give the impression Jolla is doing something against GOS. It's just sad to me to see all the effort wasted in useless drama. Wish the best to both sides. We should all be happy to see competition in the phone & OS market. Still love GOS.

Remapping the Useless AI Slop Copilot Key in Linux

Reply in thread

Until you realize that cannot be done. Since they completely fd up the f-ing p.o.s. key.

In short, pressing the key you get several key down and key up events. Letting go of the copilot key will produce no events.

You cannot in any sensible way map this to any modifier key. Unless you set some kind of timer, which will never produce the exact same result but something a bit like it.
