If you consider that mind-numbing, you should probably look into your ADHD and get it medicated. You need to drive when you drive, pay attention and not let your mind wander to pointless distractions. When you're driving, everything else can and will wait. If it is truly an emergency that cannot wait, people will come for you with sirens and flashing lights.
One of the best decisions I've taken is to keep my phone on Do Not Disturb while I'm driving. It will be playing music from Spotify (on a random mix, so I don't have to interact with it), and that's all it will do, for the entirety of the drive. It's wonderful.
You could also try driving on the Autobahn in a car with less than 60hp. That WILL keep you awake and on your toes;-)
Hey, how's the automatic emergency braking in your Yaris? How's its remote-controlled cabin climate conditioning doing for you? How are you enjoying its streaming media?
It's a CAR. Not a goddamn rolling mind-numbing entertainment center.
Purging cache on Android is a matter of opening the storage settings and pressing the "cache" bar. It'll clear the entire cache on that storage device.
I do the exact same thing. In a lot of WMs (and Windows since 7? Vista?) win+left/right moves a window to fill half the screen on the left or right side. That gives me two 1280x1440 windows to work with, which is a clear improvement over the 1280x1024 5:4 monitor I used to have.
And this is hardly some brand-new top-of-the-line monitor, it's a Dell U2713HM from 2012.
I just hate advertising in general, offline or online.
So for me it's Firefox with uBlock Origin (dynamic mode with 3rd-party resources on default-deny), Privacy Badger, DDG Privacy Essentials, Decentraleyes, Cookie Autodelete, Canvasblocker, First Party Isolation, Smart Referer and Link Cleaner.

The fuck are they talking about? Get that shit out of here. I visit web pages for the content, not the ads. If your page need ads to survive, maybe it's better off dead.
Just look at laptop sales vs desktop sales. Same OS, same programs, but once laptops got "good enough", entire demographics began using them and forgetting about ever having a desktop.
I thought I would always have a bigass desktop PC as my main computer, but I've moved to a laptop now. With a docking station, I have all of the same peripherals as on my desktop, plus I can just bring my computer with me, without having to maintain two separate devices.
With gigabit Ethernet and 802.11ac, networked storage is fast enough to be indistinguishable from local storage in most normal use (copying big files is a bit slower, obviously), so it's almost completely seamless.
And it's not even a brand-new laptop, it's a refurbed T440, a 2013 i5-equipped model. Yet it's more than fast enough that I don't notice any reduction in performance, compared to the desktop.
I only turn on the desktop once or twice a week now, for Windows gaming.
I can't think of a single instance where Firefox 57 was noticeably faster than Chrome on the same system. And that's what I'm comparing it against: Chrome. I don't care if Firefox 57 is faster than Firefox 56.
Chrome is responsive. It fetches and renders pages quickly. It can handle many tabs being open at once. It does this while using comparatively little memory.
Firefox 57 has been the opposite, in my experiences with it. I find its UI to be slow and lagging. Pages feel like they take so much longer to load. I've seen it use multiple GBs of resident memory after limited browsing.
Well, I don't know your specific setups, but FF57/58 are definitely faster on all of the machines I've tried it on, including my 2011-era Phenom II desktop (Linux Mint), my Thinkcentre M72e (i5-based, Linux Mint) media PC, my Thinkpad T440 (Win7/Linux Mint), and my girlfriend's Latitude 6430 (Win7). None of these machines are monsters by any metric (the desktop and the T440 have SSDs, though), but FF runs amazing on them, while using less memory than Chrome. And it feels faster.

Then let's focus on self-driving cars first. All of these distractions are objectively making people much worse drivers.
A phone doesn't kill people if you use it inattentively. A car does.

I'm not a fanatic. I call it as I see it, and people are welcome to correct me, should I make a mistake.

Look at that date on that. It's an obsolete kludge that won't work any more.
"4 days ago"
Yeah, totally obsolete.
Really? Seriously?
Maybe you need glasses.
His? He?

The vast majority of plugins are available for FF57+ now.
57 also boosted performance significantly, but 58 took it to a whole new level. It's way beyond Chrome now.

If these deepfakes can be done by one person with a desktop PC, what can an organization with deep pockets accomplish?
You should actually be asking "what have they already done?"
What codec is the audio compressed with, then?
Lagarith and MSU are purely video codecs. You can look through the Lagarith source code yourself, it doesn't touch audio at all.
Also, what are you even on about? Lagarith and MSU are video codecs.
Are you just making shit up?
What I mean is, are you feeding it compressed audio, because in that case it obviously doesn't decode FLAC properly.
If you encode a WAV file to FLAC and then decode it again, you get the exact same WAV file back, MD5 hash matches perfectly.
So there is absolutely something seriously wrong with your setup and/or your test case.
If by "workaround", you mean "the stupidest idea ever".
