Last night I did a hit of LCD and it was crazy. The stars, the colors .... and then I passed out.
"Don't you mean LSD?"
No, a flat screen TV fell on my head.

The metric makes sense when you are considering single threads.
Nope. Still not 300 percent of anything.
Let's say your program is running on 4 cores simultaneously. In total, how much CPU time did your program get in 1 second? The answer is 4 seconds - or 400%.
Nope. Doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter if you have 1 core or 1 Million. If one second has passed then you have used one second of CPU time.
You might want to brag that your CPU used "1 Million Percent CPU Time" by multiplying cores x time, because it sounds more impressive in your advertising or CPU/Penis Measuring Contest, but it is meaningless and irrelevant bullshit.
One second elapsed is one second.

Somebody needed a click-bait story.
It seems that the Android Runtime for Chrome Virtual Machine (ARCVM) can hog the Chromebook's CPU . . . . eating up to 300 percent (three cores times 100 percent) of the processor's resources "for several minutes."
No, that's not how numbers and percentages work. 100% of 3 cores is . . . . 100% of 3 cores. It isn't 300 percent of anything.
If a device has 4 cores, then using 100% of 3 cores means you are using 75% of available cores. Still not 300 percent of anything.

Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft.
That's not even the best part. First MS says “Chrome? That browser is so 2008!" which is followed by “Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome".
So, instead of 2008 Chrome, I should use Edge, which according to Microsoft, uses the same 2008 technology.
I think that gets the unintended ironying award for the day.

Interestingly, despite my name being super common I don't think I've ever been in class with someone with the same name, and even at work it hasn't happened as frequently as one would expect.
I used to be in class with someone called John Smith, a name so ordinary it's hyper-cliché.
I was surprised to learn recently that John Smith is only the 4th most common name in the U.S. (according to the Census Dept.)

In printing typically mixing all of the non-black colors gets you a dark brown.
If that was true, then printing nothing but black text wouldn't use any of the color ink.
Either they're mixing in the colored with the black, or, it's being stolen by the color ink fairy.
@PleegWat said in WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else:
@El_Heffe Colour inkjets typically have a black which is not intended to make a nice, full black by itself, but only to support the colour cartridges in making better dark colours
Possibly true, but irrelevant. There is no reason why they can't use a black that is "black enough" to stand alone.
Just another way to force people to buy more ink.

Imagine if restaurants worked like printers.
: Sorry sir, we're out of salad.
: That's okay, I'll just have the hamburger.
: I understand, but our kitchen shuts down if any ingredient is missing.
I had an Epson color inkjet printer that used 6 ink cartridges, black plus various other colors. The idea is supposed to be, you only have to replace the colors that you use.
A very nice, good quality printer, except for one thing. I almost never printed anything other than black text, but the color cartridges ran out almost as fast as the black.
Because all colors mixed together = black.
Nice little scam to sell more ink.

@TimeBandit Hardly surprising, fonts have some privilege inside Windows (I forget the exact details but there's crap that executes at higher privilege than it really should because Windows has so much more running in privileged execution contexts than it really should) and the point of requiring privilege is in case of defending against bad fonts.
The fact that it is possible for "bad fonts" to exist is truly mind boggling.
File System Navigator (fsn; pronounced "fusion")
Jaloopa's first rule of software: if you have to tell people how to pronounce or spell your software, you have failed at naming your software
Reminds of the old days when SCSI was new. They wanted it to be pronounced "sexy" and were upset when everyone started calling it "scuzzy"

Yeah, I would hope the fucking browser works in Windows 10...
Wait, what does coc coc even mean?
Cốc Cốc browser (meaning "knock knock" and previously known as Cờ Rôm+, "Chrome Plus") is a freeware web browser focused on the Vietnamese market, developed by Vietnamese company Cốc Cốc and based on Chromium open source code.

I hate Irish spellings. Sean, in my head is always seen. I was reading books using the name as a kid, but didn't know how it was supposed to be pronounced.
Ah yes. The wonders of English. My poem for the day.
Sean Bean did not choose to lose,
He was not chosen to be frozen
He was just observing the motion of the ocean
While drinking booze on a cruise.
After some tough thoughts
And feeling a little loose after some juice,
That one tone was not gone.
Am I even good enough to have Imposter Syndrome?
