I fell like the disclaimer should really be at the top. Specially because it is very geographically dependant and this is the internet.

Well. Doing everything costs energy.

If you only display hours and minutes, you only need to redraw the clock every minute. If you display the seconds, you have to redraw every second.

And redrawing is not just changing some pixels. The Os scheduler has to wake up the process, put another to sleep. And all of that costs power.

Yes, the clock in the taskbar probably uses less power in an hour than watching a YouTube video will consume in a second.

But it is still a 60x increase in power usage.

This warning is actually a good thing. It means whoever implemented the seconds in the taskbar clock actually has the right mindset for developing an operating system. You don't use a JavaScript framework to develop the start menu because "all the juniors come from JavaScript boot camps so it's cheap to hire" you want someone that knows that the OS' job is to provide a strong base layer that uses little resources so great things can be built on top of it.

Of all the things you could complain about windows, you chose to do it about the actually good ones, when you could go instead for the "30% vibe coded" codebase with a JavaScript UI that can't even implement a "power off" button.

I wouldn't say so. If it said instead "the spouse of your neighbor" it wouldn't consider the spouse a property of the other spouse. X of Y doesn't mean X is the property of Y. "Of" is just not a precise word.

Well, according to what I read on the internet, everything works out of the box for Linux and this year is the year of the Linux desktop. But according to personal experience and most of the people I know IRL, there is always someone that spent last weekend fixing some weird thing that doesn't work on their system in Linux that used to work correctly when they used windows instead.

They are not resigning because they are ashamed of being pedophiles. They are resigning because they were caught being pedophiles.

If they were ashamed they would've resigned before the Epstein files were released.

It's in screen settings. But you can also use the keyboard keys and it works.

If only it were that simple.

That's the joke

I don't think you can qualify any trump scandal as an "earthquake". Earthquakes move things around. USAians would still vote for trump.

No you don't. OP just chose a bad example.

It's not been that long since I last used Linux, but when I did, I had to type a command in the terminal to change screen brightness (kubuntu)

It does show seconds though. It's in the settings.

This is not image repair. Musk shared starling in exchange for Russia's silence. But the files are out so Russia didn't do their end of the deal, so musk removes his end of the deal.
