I'm not sure how you figure that I'm "so angry", I thought my reply was pretty calm. All I'm pointing out is that valve treats their own employees very well, and that if you have an issue with how developers working for other companies are treated / paid, your beef lies with those companies.
Hell valve doesn't even charge their cut on steam key sales on other storefronts even though activating the key / downloading the game still uses steam infrastructure.
Brb uploading a 5GiB file from /dev/urandom to make sure there isn't a byte of space left in OneDrive for them to do this to me.
Thank goodness it's in HDR
Apparently it's not very hard to negate the system prompt...
I imagine they're one of those people who just have piles of trash in their car sliding around the floor and probably dashboard too.
I've even experienced this in the 3D printing community, where I design a highly parametric model and put lots of effort into making all of the major dimensions and qualities parameterized and dynamically adjustable, with lots of bounds checking and value clamping, with all the parameters at the top of my scad file with comments explaining what each variable does.
And then someone comes along to remix my model, says I don't want to install openscad, and just scales the entire output stl to change the dimensions, squashing all the features of the model in the process (instead of having the size gracefully adjust with all the features moving around to account), and leaving anybody starting from their work with a hard to remix mesh with no parameters.
I can't be bothered to figure out which streaming service it's on. Also my *arr stack is fully automated and shared with ~15 people so the cost per person is very low considering my nas and nuc use ~100W combined, that's $12/mo for 15 people based on my local electric rate. I would gladly put my plex/jellyfin server in the closet and pay for a subscription if I could pay $12/mo to legally watch any show / movie on however many screens I want from wherever I want. But until then, my arrstack is both cheaper for the features and more convenient in content availability.
As a comparison, to subscribe to every major streaming service would be upwards of $90 per month.
I'm not a cook but just a general fan of commercial / industrial products (always getting jealous of the stuff I see in my engineer friends machine shops at work, materials science labs, etc), and one of my favorite sites to get ideas for when it comes to household / kitchen stuff is the webstaurant store. I don't necessarily even buy much stuff because some of the items can only be bought by the case, but it's fun to browse and if I see something I like I can check if it's available anywhere else. I have bought a commercial style tall recycling bin and some generic 5 gallon bag in box soda syrups since you could just buy 1 of those, which save a lot of money if you carbonate at home compared to buying soda at the grocery store.
Anyway they have a surface sanitizer section so you might get some ideas on what to get by browsing there. Again some are by the case but at least a few you can buy a single spray bottle or a single gallon: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/35535/surface-sanitizing-and-disinfecting-chemicals.html
And of course be sure to read all the directions and warnings since they might be used differently than you would at home, or have different requirements.
My parents bought into Wyndham but luckily were able to get out of it by contacting the AG (attorney general), I think of our home state - iirc they got conned into it when visiting vegas.
Transparent aluminum is so weird, a piece of it was once passed around our office. It felt heavier and colder than I expected, which I guess is probably because it's much denser than most types of glass (I think it's only comparable to optical glass so it would be close to holding a high quality glass lens) and it looks like the thermal conductivity is way higher.
It feels like the rollout of client modules and APs/routers was better synchronized this time. Back with wifi 6 I ordered the Intel modules within a week of them being available on AliExpress and then waited for what felt like months for APs to be available (it looks like unifi's wifi 6 ap finally came out in November 2021 based on when I bought it). Unifi's U7 pro dropped a few days ago so I nabbed one as soon as I saw the email and that arrived today so that's already set up, and the wifi 7 modules have already been out for a bit, i just didn't order them since I was anticipating a wait for APs. So now I just gotta wait a bit for shipping and I'll have all my laptops upgraded too.
I don't think it's completely true to say it's not accurate in any way. You can still get a rough estimate based on the proportion of likes to dislikes coming from people with the extension installed, then extrapolate that out based on the public number of likes provided by YouTube.
Of course it's not going to be anything more than a ballpark number, but being able to tell the difference between "almost nobody is disliking this" and "like half of viewers are disliking this" is super useful information. If nothing else it serves as a third party keeping a dislike count for users who installed the extension. They're not claiming to access the real YouTube data, so I think it's unnecessarily dismissive of what it does to call it bullshit.
What do you mean no? Everything I said is true - I'm just describing my firsthand impression. Nowhere did I say transparent aluminum is a type of glass? I was just describing why it feels heavier and colder than you would expect since it looks like glass, of which most are less dense and less thermally conductive compared to transparent aluminum, which is not glass but makes sense to compare to in order to convey what handling a piece feels like.
I'm gonna rcm my switch now and copy my animal crossing island to my PC to be emulated. Shoulda done that a long time ago to have a backup that I actually own instead of having to pay Nintendo to keep my save data backed up. I see no reason to play any more Nintendo games on my switch, much less purchase any more when I have my steam deck.
I think that text is from melroy, so according to him. From seeing his interactions in the kbin issue tracker I get somewhat of an egotistical impression of him, because he would often take an issue that has just been opened and not triaged or discussed what the best fix is, and he would open a PR with how he thinks it should be fixed, and it sounds like his frustration is that his hasty PRs weren't getting merged quickly because people wanted to come to a consensus.
Maybe I'm just reading into it but it felt like he just wanted his name on something and it wasn't happening with kbin.
Edit: I want to add that I don't mean to shit on him as a dev or as a person - it's possible that I've only seen a one-sided view of his interactions as a busy contributor who just wants to whittle down the issue list as fast as possible and that he's got good intentions, and regardless he seems like a very capable dev. It's just that based on my perusing of issues and discussions I've come across, it doesn't seem fun to work with him to contribute, and if I were to treat the contributors list as a scoreboard and had the goal of having my name on as many commits as possible, I think it would be hard to tell us apart. I was just going to keep my thoughts about this to myself but I've seen some other people comment similar things in other threads about mbin so maybe it's worth sharing my skepticism about mbin. Take from it what you will.
Your ISP knows the Mac address of your router since it requests a public IP from them using DHCP. That's why if you contact support they usually can confirm the brand of your router by doing an oui lookup.
In theory the FBI could have collected a list of MACs and optionally used an ASN lookup on the public IP and then handed each ISP their list of MACs, which the ISP could associate back to customers to contact. It would only not work for customers who spoof their router WANs ethernet mac.
But I think just patching it is a normal and fine solution imo.
I'm glad the adb flag is still an option, I had to use it to install the app for my ebike wheel which is the only way to adjust the assist level / Regen brake strength. Maybe eventually I'll try rewriting the app but I just don't have time.
Lemmy really needs pixelfed's naive bayes spam detection, it would be able to easily classify the new accounts after classifying one post as spam, then it would be 0 seconds wasted.
Isn't Miracast for sending video data? The thing I like about Chromecast is that the phone or remote app just tells the Chromecast where to load the media directly from, and then only sends playback control commands. That makes it a lot lighter resource wise because you don't need to proxy the stream through a device like a phone that wants to go to sleep to save battery.
If only they could include phones that are within those 7 years but already ended support. I'm still on a Pixel 5 which was released 3.5 years ago.
Luckily lineage is keeping it going strong on android 14.
For me (in the app) it only starts generating AI answers if I change the question a couple times. Presumably that's to save costs on the AI by just trying a dumb search first and resorting to AI if the user keeps searching.
I've gotten it to summarize historical events and give instructions on synethesizing aspirin.
Those might be flatpak "refreshes", which show up as "updating to the same version". As described by a flatpak maintainer, sometimes an app or runtime gets updated without changing the user-facing version number. I assume that's what you're seeing here.
Beyond that I also feel like the dating pool is just super small. Me and my partner have been poly for 4 years and still don't have any other consistent partners.
You could end up working for a company that develops free software so that's one way. My company develops an open source science tool and it's free for anyone to hack on, run their own copy, and use for commercial purposes, but we sell support which usually seems to involve being paid to develop certain features and fix certain bugs, as well as advise on how to keep their system running smoothly.
I just go with lineage on every phone. It's easier to already be on lineage when security updates stop instead of reaching that point and then having to reset my phone and jump ship to stay updated.
My old Pixel 2 had been out of official security updates for a long time and Google only guaranteed security updates to pixel 5 until last year. I'll probably still be on pixel 5 for a few more years since every new one past that seems to be even bigger.
Prowlarr has torrentlite as one of the domain options under the rarbg indexer. I guess they use a common profile for all the rarbg clones since they use similar html structure. You just add rarbg and then switch the base URL to torrentlite in the options for it.
Has anybody made a matrix app that looks like a discord clone? That sounds easier since the federated rich text chat is already made, the current clients don't really appeal to the discord crowd.
I'm more excited about reducing congestion when more of my neighbors upgrade to 6, so that BSS coloring and other wifi 6/7 features can enable more efficient use of the spectrum. Before wifi 6 most of the upgrades were just increasing data rates, but really lacking in improvements to spectral use efficiency (like the resource unit allocation in OFDMA which splits channels into sub carriers and centrally plans assignment to multiple client devices for simultaneous use which results in much less wasted airtime compared to each device yelling and listening while waiting to see if they can have exclusive access to the whole channel which wastes time) and interference management (like preamble puncturing which allows partial use of a channel when only a portion has interference). In a crowded environment like an apartment building wifi 6 should help a lot in reducing channel utilization.
You also have to pay the uninsured motor vehicle fee when you renew registration, so that comes out it $500/year or $40/mo. So you end up paying 1/3 to 1/2 of insurance and don't get any coverage.
Even better is your monthly streaming bill being $10 in electricity and a $5 VPN subscription (if you're in a country where your ISP sends angry letters and you don't opt for Usenet instead)
Then it would be called buying puts instead of shorting
This is exciting - after the demise of Panorama I used Quicksavers Tab Groups plugin, then when that died I moved to Simple Tab Groups, which to me is a good enough clone of Panorama. But something more modern would be super nice.
It seems the reincarnation FrostWire which I used after lime wire's demise is still going.
My gaming PC doesn't even have wifi, I just ran a cable. I wire everything I can, even my Chromecast using USB otg adapters. The less stuff that's on the WiFi, the less crappy of an experience the stuff that's left will have. Also I'm just about there with you, my non-work laptop is an almost 6 year old XPS 15 with a 7700k, but I swapped the wifi chip for an ax200ngw wifi 6 one for $15.
One game I used to play recently started working suddenly in the latest proton major release (I think 9), it wasn't mentioned in the release notes and it has no community around the game since it was released around windows vista, as well as being pulled from stores for many years (I still have it on steam) so I don't think anyone intentionally fixed it but probably just a result of some system call being implemented or tweaked to behave closer to correct.
So yeah, it's very good to test your broken wine apps every 6 months to a year because slowly anything I ever had issues with in wine is starting to work.
Is there a patent number for this? Would make a fun print from those services that frame any patent for you.
The screenshot doesn't show any version change to signal - the version number is the same, so I was just answering why you might see an update like that since I thought that was part of your question.
Yep they give the command in the article but to install an APK, all you have to do is plug into a computer that has the APK downloaded and use adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block appname.apk
I used it on android 14 and it looks like it'll also work on 15
The servarr wiki and the trash guides have a lot of info on what the various pieces do and how to set them up. I didn't strictly follow them but I've browsed them to get ideas on stuff like custom formats and such to get sonarr/radarr to automatically download and upgrade towards the codecs/quality that I prefer.
Personally I run Plex+jellyfin side by side to start, then sonarr/radarr/lidarr to download and organize TV/movies/music, with prowlarr to auto setup torrent sites into sonarr/radarr/lidarr, with a transmission+VPN docker container connected to each of the same 3, and finally an overseerr web ui that my friends can log into to submit requests to be auto downloaded by sonarr/radarr.
It's a lot to set up at once, but I started out with just Plex like 10 years ago and I've slowly added each container as time went on so it's only like a couple weekends a year where I tinker with it or do a migration to a new box as I moved from place to place and had different spaces available for my gear. Start with just a Plex and/or jellyfin server, you can tinker with sonarr/radarr without using it to auto download at the start. It's still super useful for renaming / organizing files, and you can only add certain folders if you don't want it to mess with a collection that you prefer to manually manage. Or create a new junk library folder to let it run amok with until you have it configured to your liking. Add in a torrent+VPN/Usenet downloader container to get it auto downloading when you're ready, and when you get tired of accepting requests personally from friends, an overseerr (for Plex) or jellyseerr (for jellyfin) container they can log into with using their existing Plex/jellyfin login to have their requests automatically forwarded to the appropriate *arr app and you'll have a fully automated low or no touch piracy setup. One of these days I'll also get bazarr up and running to make it easier to grab subtitles too since every once in a while I download something obscure and the only torrents for it dont have subs so I manually grab them from opensubtitles or something. It feels pretty magical though when you've requested a series and throughout the week, you see new episodes just pop up on the recently aired/added row in Plex/jellyfin within an hour or two of the episodes airing.
Then maybe you should complain about the game company that employs those developers, not valve...?
