    Well maybe, or it could be thst the developers ofc have fast hw, and th tesrvsuites (if any are used at all) make asunmtions aboutaverage user hw and/or sw (even connecton bandwith and latency) if you fall below these you are unfurtunstle most lightly out of luck. Are these avarage values set correctly, that I don’t know. This was a rather long winded way of saying, the web devs migt not intentionaly meke thimgs heavier then needed but unfortunatly the end yup being that way anyway.

  13. Hey they get value outof gaming, you might get it out of say watching N movies/mouth at the cinema (or in your living room with your a/v setup that you spent a lot on), thing is you both get to enjoy your down time. Imho they are no more wasting their lives then you or even that stamp collector that finally gets that stamp he has hunted for a long time. Will i ever collect stamps, probably not because I don't have the patience for it, do I consider that i wasted his time, nopes he had a good time while doing it,. Could he have used his tim and monye more productively? Certainly, but is everyone supposed to be productive all the time? This is not an attack on you, I just got curious about how you could decide what is an is not a waste of time. The ting is the main purpose og graphics cards is to render graphics, now for a time a secondary use (crypto currency mining) has vastly inflated prices for graphics cards, is ir any wonder that the primary user group is now happy the the secondary user group is rapidly disagreeing so that graphics cards are mor affordable to them. I suspect most gamers would not have cared about crypto currency mining if it had not inflated the gpu prices. I mighty be wrong on this but i suspect 99% of gamers could not care less iff someone made a killing wit (crypt mining)as long as the mining did not affect them negatively (which yhe incresed gpu prices well might have)

  14. Re:It's about securing the web, not changing it on Is Google's Promotion of HTTPS Misguided? (this.how) · · Score: 1

    Hoød on, I must be missing something. Apart from the obvious big warning about "this website is insecure" when you load the first page how does this https requirement change how your site looks/works to a user. OK I'll admit that the first time setup for the website owner is a bit different and involves a few more steps but after that running the site is the same right? after that its just a question about creating a croon job to rin certbot and reload your webserver (let's say once every 1.5 mounts to avoid problems wit cerbot failing to renew due to intermittent issues) and job done, a secure (at least at the trasport level) wepsite with very little admin required. Before I'm accused of over simplifying thing yes you ned to check infrequently to see if you need to disable ciphers that should no longer be used etc, but how often do you have to check for updates to you cms of choice?
