  • Well… that would make sense. But it’s much much easier to just do it preemptively. The browser API to check how much memory is available are quite limited afaik. Also if there are too many elements the browser will have to do more work when interacting with the page (i.e. on every rendered frame), thus wasting slightly more power and in a extreme cases even lagging.

    For what it’s worth, I, as a web developer, have done it too in a couple occasions (in my case it was absolutely necessary when working with a 10K × 10K table, way above what a browser is designed to handle).

    For reference, this is what the “Checking for Updates” page on the Pop!_OS store looks like for me. This icon feels out of place, that’s why I assumed this is a placeholder that replaced the correct icon that went missing due to some kind of minor problem with my installation.






  • You should install Rethink and see how much garbage your phone constantly transmits and receives. And this is not even a kernel-level firewall, so who knows how much data Google actually exfiltrates…

    I don’t know about a constant audio stream, nor about keywords, but I noticed that Google Keyboard sends out some data every time you type anything. It’s not even that subtle.




  • Can you see at least GRUB, or nothing at all?

    If you can see GRUB I would try booting with the “nosplash” kernel option, which causes video drivers to be loaded later.

    This is a temporary fix, as it might cause other issues, but if it makes the screen work it will be a step in the right direction.
