They limited the Always Free usage on a completely free account with no card attached. If you switch your account to PAYG, the Always Free instance still maxes at 4vCPUs/24GB of RAM.
I would also add don't use an LTS variant (or anything based on an LTS variant) of those desktop distros
I just finished (as in literally like 10 minutes before posting this comment) L.E Modesitt’s Solar Express. It’s a hard sci-fi book about humanity’s first encounter with alien artifacts and the race to be the first to…
So it turns I've been using this new UI for a while and didn't even notice it was different nor did I even know they were doing this update until I saw this very thread full of people complaining about it.
And its this obsession with shipping things as fast as possible quality be dammed that got us basic weather apps that eat a gigabyte+ of RAM.
I think (based completely on anecdotal evidence) both the Windows desktop and lock screen pull their backgrounds from a different source than the Bing home page. I would often see a very different collection of image on…
Sounds like they were getting overly upset by things that don't effect them and also...checks notes a website following the law of the country they're based in. Really weird things to be getting upset over if you ask…

It’s a one time delay that occurs when you first enable the ability to install downloaded apks and you never see it again for any device attached to your Google account. That’s why I called it a wildly overblown…
is like much of the discourse around the changes, overly sensationalized and borderline false. The only change made that's relevant to sideloading-a-downloaded-APK as far I understand, is a 24hour delay in enabling the…
I mean if you're gonna stop people from owning their device and doing what they want with it just because of the possibility of crime occurring then their are quite a few more things that probably should also no longer…
The Play Store is not required for APK distribution. Not now, nor has it ever been.
I also had one of this 11th Gen Intel FW13s, and the RTC battery on mine worked for a short time because they for some reason used some garbage rechargeable one with a 2 yr lifespan instead of the more common…

I've played a little bit of it so far, and really enjoyed it.
>>>At some point, execution speed starts to matter more than the elegance of the code. Execution speed only matters to investors and the stock market. Your users don't give a shit.
I mean all 3 of those also support LSP plugins, so would also spawn "multi GB nodeJS processes" with your tiny golang projects if you enable them.
So I'm not so sure how you arrived at your conclusion of Zed having higher memory use than VSCODE but in testing just now that's not at all close to true. Zed for me on my Linux machine opened to a massive C++ project…
and limited to one type of device that not everyone can get or wants.
Which when I last used it they forced you to do. I'm assuming this has changed in the several years since?
Well no actually I do not think either of my granmothers could have done that, nor would they have even known (or cared) what a Bitlocker even was.
Yes use Bitlocker, the thing that uploads the encryption key to OneDrive "for convenience" thereby negating the whole point of FDE in the first place
