Sushi was to large (full mouth when you put the piece in). Cucumber one tasted nice. Cushi was like ground meat (well, ground fish). Not as good as a soloid 2x1x1 cm3 piece. Structure was wrong
Temporarily not if you are ill, have an open wound, a recent visit to the dentist, a recent tattoo (I think 3 weeks on all of those). 4 days free of painkillers. Those kind of things
Rosetta is set to complete its historic mission in a controlled descent to the surface of its comet on 30 September, with the end of mission confirmation predicted to be within 20 minutes of 11:20 GMT (13:20 CEST).
I was copying a .ISO file to my phone, when I had a error possibly because of mal contact on the cable... The file doesn't show up in Windows, but apps can see it on my phone. I did a MD5 hash of the file on phone and compared to the MD5 of the file on my PC and they match.
I now use speakerphone 90% of the time. Most of the time I do not I end up pressing buttons when I keep it next to my ear. Often hanging up, muting etc.
Bloody smartphones should lock the screen when in a call
I personally would be very happy if my phone vibrated or flashed screen or whatever when someone picked up while I'm calling them if my phone is not on my ear (use the lux sensor dammit)
If I have a super fast internet and get myself a VPS and kinda run my whole laptop at cloud would be possible to get the performance improvements in old machines?
@Freedo Depends on your cloud provider. Some will make periodic upgrades and it's a quick migration to the new host to take advantage of them. Others will require you to create new instances and manually transfer data.
I can download things much faster than my HD can read, or my processor can process so why not use it just as a mirror to my "real" pc which is a VPS with good hardware for cheap
It can be complicated to set up. You need to deploy the Linux distribution of your choice, then you need to install the desktop environment and applications you use.
You also need to do extra security work. Unlike consumer PCs, servers are subject to very frequent attacks and need more stringent security. You should set up and use public-key authentication to log into the server; do not use password authentication.
I've had it pretty easy because I've had quite a bit of experience with my servers as well as the distro I use (openSUSE).
It can be very daunting to some not experienced with Linux.
but would I get improved performance on old machines? Not really playing games in HD, but those machines struggle to use chrome and a bit of more stuff at same time
I've been running the desktop tiles version of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup on my cloud desktop server which requires very little in the way of graphical rendering capabilities, but even that taxes the server's CPU.
@Freedo These are meant for GPGPU compute. I doubt they can actually render graphics.
You would need to have a dedicated server with a gaming GPU installed (very unusual configuration) or colocate in a datacenter with your own server hardware in order to do stuff like this. Both are very, very expensive.
@Freedo Most simpler productivity apps will run perfectly fine in the cloud.
LibreOffice, etc. will run fine on a VPS. I can personally attest to this. You just can't do anything graphically intensive without a specialized and expensive setup.
Again, I've run very light 2D games on my server but that's just about it.
Remember that servers are primarily meant to act as plaforms for business and web applications. You can do all sorts of interesting things with them, but gaming (except for running a dedicated game server, e.g. Minecraft) is not a primary use case for cloud servers.
