Yes, but the 4090 is the "best" GPU with only minor trade-offs (DP 2.1 support?)

Monitors don't yet have an ultimate "highest res, refresh, brightness, contrast, color volume" champion. If they made a 240Hz 4K QD-OLED it would come close, but it wouldn't be as bright as the best Mini-LEDs, have burn-in, weird pixel positioning (but at 4K you can just use monochromatic AA for text)

The ultimate monitor might have to be Nano-LED, with self-emissive quantum dots. But we won't see those until at least 2025, or maybe even later

I don't like the naming. Mobile 7600 XT is also an underclocked 7600 but at a higher TDP.

I don't get what a "best monitor" is supposed to be. They have six different categories themselves, and there's also pricing. The "best" they listed sucks at HDR gaming and costs $550. In my opinion, if you're going to have a "best" category it's gotta be the Samsung 240Hz 4K monitor, but they mentioned issues with it

So currently, there's no "best" monitor. They all have trade-offs.

Needlessly reductionist, but also wrong. If your code is proven to work (like, machine verified), and you use a compiler that is also verified to generate correct code, then that code is secure.

Yes, like telling the Chinese government what site you visit, for example

I upgraded Ubuntu 20 LTS to Ubuntu 22 LTS in place and it broke everything including the Wifi drivers. Left with a black command line with no Internet, so I just wiped the drive

My man, my laptop sometimes turns off the screen when I tap the touchpad in Windows. It's far more broken than Linux is. Let's not go into how slow it is on an HDD in Windows 10... I have given up on booting into Windows since it's unusable

This is why I use NixOS in a git repo. I will never be able to successfully recall all the steps I did otherwise

Yes, I was able to use DNS Crypt earlier, but of course that's because it's under the radar and they could block all of those servers at any time they wish

They don't block all of HTTPS, they try to block TLS 1.3 + ESNI so they will require to know what website you're browsing

They also block encrypted connections to common servers like 8.8.8.8 so that they see what DNS request you're making

Certainly, they can't block DNS over HTTPS to your own overseas DNS server unless they know about it

Thousands of Chinese tourists go there for a very strictly controlled vacation every year. As long as they think you're not a threat it's much safer than going to a place with literal warfare going on

You don't know if the connection is used to post or to view posts if it's encrypted
