The most obvious answer is gaming. Hard 60/144Hz deadlines is RT. But there are lots of changes that got into the kernel from the RT group, starting with getting rid of the BKL, which helped everyone.

People who wanted GPS were also already using it by buying TomToms or other GPS devices…

The average desktop user already benefits from the changes the RT folks have slowly been getting into the baseline.

“Very fast” is relative. 1200mm/s is very fast for 3D printing, no argument. But it’s 1.2mm/millisecond, and we’re talking about time scales in the microsecond range. I suspect you’re going to run into materials issues far before real time performance becomes a limiting factor in print speed and quality.

It’s like saying GPS was available for decades before, why would putting it in everyone’s phone expand its popularity.

For myself, I’m hoping the nerds and hackers that otherwise found it not worth the effort will start creating tools to manage real time better and start building them into the applications they write. That way you don’t need to pay an arm and a leg to RedHawk for the privilege of dynamically isolating CPUs or have to reboot the computer to modify kernel arguments a la RedHat MRG.

What’s preventing that from working now? If it’s indeterminate latency, then yeah, absolutely. Theoretically this will give you the ability to have a very deterministic loop around the accelerometer data, but 3d printers don’t move all that fast to begin with so having unbounded latency might not matter. The determinism we’re talking about here is on the order of tens of microseconds or less.

It’s a bad meme. Nothing wrong with the topic or fighting against sexism in academia, but the context of the picture is literally the opposite of the message.

Whaaaaat? Y posted something misleading? Do you think this person might be biased?

Because it’s such a laughably small amount to steal for a country that produces so much.

By all means, explain how a country that produces 12 million barrels of crude a day would find it worth pilfering 15,000 barrels?

Do you refuse to answer the questions because you realize how silly your premise is?

Is this supposed to support the idea that the goal is cruelty or that it’s US strategy to steal 60 tankers of oil?

Okay, so it’s not for cruelty but for commerce? 60 trucks worth of oil? C’mon.

You don’t think it’s a bit silly to suggest that 60 tanker trucks is going to be worth time? What’s that even worth, have you checked?

The United States military is stealing 60 trucks worth of oil because it’ll save money? The US produces 13 million barrels of crude a day, but it’s worth their time to steal 60 tanker trucks worth?

Are you suggesting the US is stealing oil for the sake of being cruel? This is some sort of strategic effort at the highest levels to take 60 tanker trucks of oil?

Isn’t that sort of an absurd claim? The USA, the largest crude oil producer, steals paltry amounts of oil from Syria, one oil tanker at a time? Same for wheat. The U.S. exports 50% of its wheat, but loots Syrian wheat?

Yes, it’s literally a straw man. OP constructed an argument (Microsoft is a monopoly) that was not present in any comments nor the article, and then attacked that.

This is a straw man. Nobody is saying they’re a monopoly. They’re saying Microsoft has a history of anti competitive behavior.

Is there a kbin Android app?

The question was about privacy. Routing your DNS traffic through a VPN puts your unencrypted traffic out of an endpoint with all sorts of other connections. That’s a privacy gain.

Further, using DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-Https encrypts your query end-to-end.

Using both in concert prevents the DNS servers from knowing your IP and anyone along the route from knowing your query.
