Gonna set up a front panel LED display like those old 386s that proudly shouted that they were running at 16mhz, except instead it displays how many copies of the Chromium runtime are loaded into RAM at the moment
You run Firefox? That's cute. Two game launchers, three chat platforms, one driver management app, and two games are built on electron
@foone Google certainly does run everything.
@foone 3 Billion Devices Run Electron
@foone do they dedupe at least, or are they all slightly different versions with a variety of known CVEs?
@foone how would you determine the number of chromia running at a given time?
@susul I'd have software running to periodically inspect all the processes
@foone is there some easy way to tell if a running process is chromium? id like to make a small chromium counter for my own pc
@susul @foone it would be an electron app doing the scanning right? Right?
@foone I assume the TURBO button will toggle the number by 50% by sending SIGSTOP/CONT to an arbitrary 50% of those.
@foone That would be hilarious. Please do that.
@foone once upon a time my job was to install the jumpers on the dual-digit 7-segment display unit so it would show the clock speed the customer had ordered
@foone which was not necessarily the rated clock speed of the CPU that was installed, or the clock speed that CPU was currently set to run at...
@foone honestly, the range will be about the same!
@foone What does the Turbo button do?
@foone Wire up a the classic Turbo button to just kill all copies of Chromium runtime.
