I've played a little bit of it so far, and really enjoyed it.

>>At some point, execution speed starts to matter more than the elegance of the code.

Execution speed only matters to investors and the stock market. Your users don't give a shit.

I mean all 3 of those also support LSP plugins, so would also spawn "multi GB nodeJS processes" with your tiny golang projects if you enable them.

So I'm not so sure how you arrived at your conclusion of Zed having higher memory use than VSCODE but in testing just now that's not at all close to true.

Zed for me on my Linux machine opened to a massive C++ project (the Ladybird browser if you were curious) is (not including LSP or extension processes) using around 480MB of memory.

VSCode on the other hand with nothing open but a 20 line JSON file is (again not including any LSP or extension processes) using around 920MB of memory as reported by its own builtin task manager thing.

I suppose 480MB for a text editor might be a tad high but calling it worse than VSCode is a massive stretch.

and limited to one type of device that not everyone can get or wants.

Which when I last used it they forced you to do. I'm assuming this has changed in the several years since?

Well no actually I do not think either of my granmothers could have done that, nor would they have even known (or cared) what a Bitlocker even was.

Yes use Bitlocker, the thing that uploads the encryption key to OneDrive "for convenience" thereby negating the whole point of FDE in the first place

In my opinion if you learned something from it, it was useful. Bonus points if others learn from it as well, but if not then as long as you did then it doesn’t matter. AI age or not.

I’ve always found hobby OS projects like this interesting, and I hope there’s never a shortage of them in the future

The letter of the law says you are correct. Reality however disagrees. People who are most definitely US citizens have in fact been put in jail for the simple not-crime of refusing to provide passwords to their devices to law enforcement.

The US has been doing that for years already. There's plenty of stories of people (US citizens included) being detained by border agents in US airports for refusal to provide said agents with access to their devices.

So if a company uses as part of its marketing for a product the phrase "advanced security, privacy, and connectivity for homes of every shape and size" and then is later found to have lied about the "advanced security" and "privacy" part of their marketing by shipping firmware with security bugs, does that not now fall under the "deceptive" category of the "unfair, deceptive and fraudulent business practices" part of the FTC's mission?

Sounds like it does to me. Also you're forgetting the part where the FTC under a prior administration either banned DLINK from selling in the US or heavily fined them for selling routers in the US that they knew were running insecure, buggy firmware.

(both quotes were taken verbatim from first, Netgear's US website, and secondly the Bureau of Consumer Protections' section of the FTC's website)

If that is truly what you think, then you clearly haven't used a Linux desktop distro since then because that absolutely incorrect.

OS makers should not be in the business of enforcing censorship. If you want to shield your children from the "horrors" of the internet either use proper parental control software, or don't allow access at all like you said until your kids are mature to understand what's going on

The onus is on the parent to the be parent. Not the tech industry, and especially not the government.

Google did it with the Tensor-powered Pixels a while back, from w/e they shipped with to 6.1

You can with Dev Drives now apparently, which don't use NTFS and disable ALL the filter drivers (including the Defender one)

I stopped using Windows just as these were added so now I'm curious if there's any actual performance benefit to using the.

I'd wager that's more likely due to Windows than the hardware. Like sure the hardware does play a part in that but its not the whole story or even most of it.

My C++ projects have a python heavy build system attached where the main script that runs to prepare everything and kick off the build, takes significantly longer to run on Windows than Linux on the same hardware.

Doesn't need to be in the cloud for it work everywhere.

>he thought his job would be in jeopardy if he didn't publish

Where'd you get this from? The author's response on Bluesky doesn't imply this at all.

Here’s the PR explaining why they disabled this function

Seems like it caused tons of problems due to the variability of TPM quality among other things

and also source 1

Its WILD to me seeing Techrights described as "well-established, respected and trusted"

You can still care about forthcoming invasions of one's privacy and while still understanding that the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution is only intended to prevent state and federal governments from censoring you. Not corporations.

Semantics are very important when it comes to legal matters.

Most of the requirements for that feature are UEFI features or a TPM, and have nothing to do with the CPU

The actual CPU requirements are VMX, SLAT, IOMMU and being 64 bit, which have all been available on the Intel side at least, since at least 2008, with some coming available even before that.

The CPU requirement was just an attempt to force people to buy new hardware they didn't need. Nothing more.

A perfect example of this is the Ryzen 5 1600. Its not officially supported but meets every single one of the requirements and had no trouble enabling the feature in the run up to the release of Win11 (before it was blocked for no reason). I know this because I did it.

Also they marked all but one 7th Intel Core CPU as unsupported, and the one they did add just so happens to be the one they were shipping in one of their Surface products. No way you can tell me this list was based fact and not the whims of some random PM when they do stuff like that.

VBS is also in Windows 10 and has no problem working on CPUs that aren't "supported" in Windows 11

That they presently have no problems doing without this crap, so proving that they don't need it.

They've had plenty of opportunity to do this and haven't, so would find it incredibly unlikely they would magically start to have a problem now

Not to mention doing would basically kill game as one of the biggest reason people even still play Minecraft is the modding scene, not the minimum viable effort that have been the official updates for last number of years.

ChatControl is just lawful interception under a different name, but worse.

And we all know those laws are never abused and are absolutely only used to target criminals.

Malware has existed nearly since the dawn of computing. Making the world even less secure under the guise of combating w/e today's latest bogeyman is is not gonna solve that. And having secure private communications is not gonna make it worse.

That anyone thinks this blatantly obvious attack on free speech is actually going to be used only for law enforcement is wild to me.
