I justified buying new speakers (to myself) with balanced signal inputs because it would eliminate this kind of interference. I'm pretty sure my carrier turned off the 2G network maybe a year or two later. I still get interference from LTE on my clock radio sometimes, but the sound isn't the same. Thankfully it's not nearly as annoying.

that they put the GSM effect in GTA IV was super cool

To this day, Linux users get their knickers in a twist due to the concept of "cached" memory (https://www.linuxatemyram.com/) for similar reasons. Hell, I got bugged by it back in the early 2000s. I think people with "big" systems look at unused memory as a dick-swinging sort of thing, gives them a good feeling to have however many gigabytes completely unused.

Somewhere between the 4.9 kernel and 4.19, the memory management for swap seems to have changed. Used to be that swappiness=0 would only use swap when RAM ran out, but now it . Really annoying with all the alerts we have for what is now normal swap usage. We should probably just switch back to the default value since this setting is p cargo-culty at this point.
