Maunder's resume: A heavy-lifter with a passion for launching projects and doing so with next-to-no funding and copious duct-tape.

    I hope they find it and he gets an exemplar punishment. M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

    oh, my Ubuntu installation would complete FREEZE when certain media was played. The screens were frozen but I could still see the cursor move around the screen, but nothing else. Recreated the issue numerous times with Firefox. No other browser causes the problem. unfortunately left firefox behind.

    I think peeps assume I’m a total n00b just because I’m asking for folk’s opinions. Using an integer was the first thing I mentioned. I promise you I know of 64-bit ints. The question was has anybody used 128-bit ints and noticed a serious performance hit. The only reason I mentioned all three original ways is because I knew someone would come along and tell something unrelated. Also, that’s grossly over simplifying system design. I’ve architected plenty of enterprise apps in my day. Future proofing is also a consideration. So, to repeat man… the question isn’t what’s an int. It’s how fast is a 128-bit int for those who actually used it in a project. If someone has a better way to store currency than the four ways already mentioned (including fixed point) - great.

    as jschell replied, need more details especially the type of failures. Over the past 20+ years, I have worked with usb hubs and have had 0 failures. I lost a couple, but that's a different issue. On my banker's/lawyer's desk, I have two USB hubs that have been double stick taped there for at least 10 years. One is USB 2.0, because for a long time I have had to support an Xp development environment. The other is USB 3.0. because I support a Window 10/11 environment that uses newer usb hardware. The only problem I have found is dealing with USB adapters - serial devices, ethernet, and I mix them up. Now I build my own machines. The BS from OEMs and the shortcuts they take, I just don't do that anymore. Would I install something in my desktop? Based on my experience, no. I'd daisy chain to an external hub. The one thing that I have found that drives me as a developer near insane is the stupidity of Microsoft. It's starting to creep into Unix, but we shall see. Microsoft decided to help save power, so there are default setting that turn off your USB devices. OS update? Let's turn it off. Wait the user explicitly said not to do that - meh, f' the user, climate change. And their goes my 6 month soak test. I have 15 years of h/w - laptops - around me. Almost all of my cycles (insert/remove/insert) are on the laptops. No failures. This leads me to suspect that something else is going on.

    I have a decent quality 4-port KVM switch, which has worked flawlessly for 4 years. Two ports are connected to desktop PCs, and two are used for portable stuff (work portable, my portable). My wife had a 2-port KVM from the same company that stopped working after 2 years when she spilled a mug of tea over it. Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. -- 6079 Smith W.

    I always go Debian Testing for desktop. Reading the replies, I feel like a troglodyte. - Editor: neovim - Webbrowser: qutebrowser - Email: Thunderbird - Window manager: bspwm - Launcher and custom menus: jgmenu - Terminal: st - Sync: NextCloud Desktop - VPN: wireguard - a bunch of developer tools - other things But I'm tied to Windows at work in a walled garden setting, so WSL is the sad workaround there.
