Bulgarian here, same story. 24 hour removes the ambiguity in written form without the need for a suffix, 12 hour is shorter in speech and 99% of the time it doesn't need specifying because the AM/PM is evident from the context.

In a better world this would be caught by analytics and videos like that would be penalised - like it should happen for web search results. In reality we're far from that unfortunately...

I'm a frequent user of that feature - especially for cases when the first thing I see from a channel is a clickbait thumbnail with a "shocked" face on it. I understand that it's a working tactic for some channels, but unless I know the channel and can assume the video would be good despite the clickbait, I'm not going for it. It's a trend that needs to die.

Curious about how they'd approach this.

In practice, even with the same system specs and game settings, if you run through a game in a slightly different manner than someone else, it might paint a different performance picture for you than it does for them. The more a game allows free roaming, the more variation there will be in results. I doubt they'll ask everyone to run a benchmark for each game (and to further that, not every game has a benchmark capabilities built in to begin with).

At least they have the benefit of potentially having huge data sets on their hands, so things would probably even out.

... and the irony that Windows can also fuck up your bootloader in a dual boot scenario.

I remember that with Opera (before the switch to Chromium) I was able to open literally 100+ tabs on a machine with 1 gig of RAM. Sure, the web was simpler back then, but not by much.

I heard he only got to Mt Everer.

Regardless of the OS, if you're using the computer for anything productive, the application software, not the OS, will eat the majority of the RAM anyway. If you're looking at the minimum requirements, chances are you're not looking to do anything besides browsing the web with 5 tabs open.

It sucks though, I agree - software should get more efficient over time, just like hardware does. Out of curiosity, do we have anything more specific, i.e. how they tested that, what apps were running and so on? Or maybe they now deem that more things should be running?

Needs a banana for scale.

The Moon landing was staged, but Stanley Kubrick wanted to film on location.

Sell more cables to those people.

Can't not think of that George Carlin quote: "If crime fighters fight crime and firefighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight?"
