I asked GPT to pull real stats on both. Looks like the 50-series RAM is about 3X that of the Xe3P, but it wanted to remind me that this new Intel card is designed for data centers and is much lower power, and that the comparable Nvidia server cards (e.g. H200) have even better RAM than GDDR7, so the difference would be even higher for cloud compute.
Alternate problem. I was trying to fix up an old repo I found which used some pdf tool, but when trying an LLM it insisted on reading all the documentation, but the docs were woefully out of date and didn't match the actually binaries, so it got terribly twisted up.
London is the third most visited city and Heathrow is the second most popular airport by international visitors. The prospect of being arrested upon arrival there might be a little annoying.
Even if you don't intend to ever set foot in the UK you could find yourself there unintentionally, if your airline needs to make an unplanned diversion. So you basically have to forego any European air travel.
I wouldn't go that far. It's easy to find flights with routes where a diversion to the UK would either never make sense or be impossible due to distance.
I've started using Tiny11 on all my setups, then running DeBloat afterwards. This removes every piece of crapware* and none of them seem to try to reinstall on update (so far, fingers crossed).
I use Brave browser (a Chromium fork) on my old Win10 PC, and it is fast and stable even with tons of tabs/site open. One can disable its unnecessary features (VPN, Brave Rewards, etc).
Please note that Brave browser in mobile these days gives problems for some websites like Reddit.com, etc. Same sites open fine with Edge (another Chromium fork) and Firefox (Gecko engine).
I hate Chrome & Edge and their nasty of creating multiple instances and auto-starting and running in background even when I am not using the browser.
If I recall right, Chrome uses to have an nasty memory leakage issue so it will keep chugging for more memory even if not in active use.
Firefox uses to be sluggish, but it is better these days, and its extensions/plugins support (especially on Android!) is necessary to block ads & trackers (via uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger extension) is highly useful and necessary.
It does dramatically reduce cognitive load. I think that part is understated and lost to the headline of how it writes two thousand lines of code in 30 seconds.
