i think you will be left in peace, people just make reckless comments sometimes and we probably aren't in each other's heads to consider what would carry a possibility of real consequence. but i doubt they will have weight on the substance of the thread itself, and i doubt the gmt members will find reason to take issue to the point of locking it. if anything, maybe this would be locked only if it does not return to the original subject of tech and continues to be argumentative, but... that argument, if it was one, is probably already over by nowWinnyace wrote:

I think you shouldn't put too much thought into it and just try things out. I didn't discover that Librewolf is a bit too much for my needs and wishes until I tried multiple different browsers and whatnot and found what worked best for me.Achromalia wrote:

To my knowledge, its window managing system is just very old feeling. Things like window snapping or splits of any kind aren't possible by default. Maximizing is basically making the app full screen too. Alongside this, the ecosystem heavily favors if you have more Apple devices and the biggest nail in the coffin is the cost for such machines are extremely high and they still cheap out in places like RAM, which is hilarious and their defense against that is even more hilarious.Jangsoodlor wrote:

- It seems more smooth on my system than vanilla Firefox, which is nice
- They bring back the theme Firefox had before Firefox 89, with smaller tab sizes and a more tightly packed top section
- There are more settings exposed, like the keyboard shortcuts or the profile manager
- They add some new features like a sidebar
- In the settings, they recommend some extensions, like Tree Style Tab or uBlock Origin
- They don't advertise themselves as the most privacy protecting browser. What they offer is similar to vanilla Firefox, which is alright.

It seems he installed Mint on it. You're right as well, but at the same time, he didn't really specify if the computer has a SSD or not. If it doesn't, that would be the easiest and least expensive upgrade. Next will be RAM.Jangsoodlor wrote:

New Intel CPUs launching on October 24th, 2024. This gen is named Arrow Lake and it will have a new naming scheme.
Intel Core i9-14900K -> Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
Intel Core i7-14700K -> Intel Core Ultra 7 265K
Intel Core i5-14500K -> Intel Core Ultra 5 245K
Intel is doing what AMD did with Zen5: lay out the groundwork for new stuff in the future. The most notable change between the 14th gen and this new line is the fact that Intel says they have reduced the power consumption by half, while having the same performance as the 14900K. That would be really good for Intel. It seems they're working on a new socket too, with better pressure on the CPU, so the need for a contact frame is removed.
I'm personally intrigued to see how these new chips perform.

They aren't. The API request that adblockers like uBlock Origin used were also used for malicious usage, so Google saw it as a security risk. I don't like this change either, but they aren't doing this to kill adblockers specifically. uBlock Origin Lite works just fine on Chrome from my testing for a casual user. Google understands that if they actually go after adblockers, head on, they will lose their influence and power, more or less immediately.Corne2Plum3 wrote:
