For some reason, when a GBA game crashes, the GBA will output the content of the game cartridge as audio over the headphone jack. This person noticed it and created a script that can re-create the ROM file (content of the cartridge) from the audio that the GBA outputs.

We need to write “join lemmy” on the canvas.

Does this joke never end?

Might also want to upgrade your dice to d20 while you're at it.

The amount of "fuck spez" pleases me, but I find the lack of "join lemmy" disturbing.

Beat me to it. But I'd like to add that white tea is usually brewed at 90C, which is about 194F.

There are two common styles of brewing tea, western and eastern. Western style uses less tea leaves for an amount of water and the brewing time is longer. Eastern style, commonly known as gongfu style (can also be written kungfu), is more leaves per amount of water and shorter brews. Gongfu style also lets you brew the same leaves several times, while western style spends the leaves in one brewing.

If you want to gongfu brew it, I recommend about 5g of leaves for 100g of water. White tea doesn't go bitter that easily, so you can just brew it until it's good for your taste buds. You can start from 10-30s for the first brew and then add 5 second for every successive brews. Adjust as you see fit.

To break the leaves from the cake, use some long thin metal object. Screwdriver if that's all you have. Avoid cutting it, unless that's the only way to break it.

I once heard this story about a company, that had a server room. The room was locked so no-one could get in without permission, which is a good practice. At some point, they started to wonder why one of their servers becomes unreachable every Friday at X o'clock. Eventually, they figured out that their new cleaner entered the server room every Friday and unplugged one of the power cables to plug the vacuum cleaner in to the outlet.

Kagi has a free trial, 100 searches for free, so you can try it out and see if you like it or not.

I think it's simply a question of what are Google's interests. Users doesn't pay anything to Google for the service, so that's not where Google's interests are. Advertisers pay Google, so that's where Google's interests are. Google has no interests to make the search better for users, they want to make it better for advertisers.

Would using a teapot with an infuser have a similar effect to a gai wan?

To brew tea or coffee, you need about four items/things:

  • A method to heat water to a proper temperature
  • A vessel to do the brewing in
  • A method to separate the tea leaves / coffee grounds from the liqueur
  • A cup to drink the liqueur from

If you want to try to gongfu brew it with what you have at home, you can use some kind of smallish vessel (about 150ml), like a coffee mug or small water/milk pitcher (make sure it can handle boiling water). Use something as a lid-like object to keep the heat from escaping and helping to pour the liqueur while keeping the leaves in the vessel. A big spoon might work, if that's all you can figure. If you have any kind of fine mesh filter (or just coffee filter paper), you can use that to keep the leaves from getting to your drinking cup.

Sounds like we are getting closer to finding the question to 42.

I want to start drinking tea more instead of coffee

Not sure if you are aware of it, but matcha has pretty high caffeine content. It's less than in coffee, but more than in other types of tea. One gram of matcha powder contains approximately 20-45mg of caffeine. So, if you prepare a cup of matcha using 2 grams of matcha powder, you could get up to 90 mg of caffeine. Tea leaves being naturally grown things, it's impossible to know how much caffeine is in each tea leaf.

In case you want to reduce your caffeine intake even more, you might want to try other Japanese green teas. As you like matcha, your taste buds might agree with other Japanese green teas as well.

Also I have a cold brew coffee maker, could I put the powder in the filter as I submerge it? How long would it last in the fridge (assuming I can)?

One tea brewing method you might want to look into is grandpa style tea brewing. To grandpa style brew tea, you simply put some tea leaves into some kind of container, such as mug or water bottle, and add some water. As you drink the tea throughout the day, you just add more water over the leaves as needed, basically keeping the leaves submerged in water the whole day. Some teas are better suited for grandpa style brewing than others. Japanese tea leaves are usually broken leaves, and broken leaves quickly turns the tea liquor bitter/astringent and as such might not be suited for grandpa style brewing.

There are couple tea communities that might be helpful in your tea journey:

From the article:

The data breach started with hackers accessing only around 14,000 user accounts. The hackers broke into this first set of victims by brute-forcing accounts with passwords that were known to be associated with the targeted customers, a technique known as credential stuffing.

From these 14,000 initial victims, however, the hackers were able to then access the personal data of the other 6.9 million million victims because they had opted-in to 23andMe’s DNA Relatives feature. This optional feature allows customers to automatically share some of their data with people who are considered their relatives on the platform.

Most teas don't expire if stored correctly. Green teas should generally be consumed within a year from the manufacturing date.

You probably have been drinking matcha lattes, which contains milk. Normal matcha is just water.

There's a new similar phishing attack thanks to Google and their .zip domain. Web browsers support a feature that lets you use addresses of the form protocol://username:password@domain.tld{.text}. That feature allows you to log in to domain.tld{.text} with the given credentials. When you combine that with Unicode forward slashes, you can craft addresses that look like https://microsoft.com/files/@windowsupdate.zip{.text}, where the part between https://{.text} and @{.text} is a username and the part after @{.text} is the actual address most likely used for malicious intends. My example uses normal slashes, so will lead to Microsoft's website and page not found error. windowsupdate.zip{.text} is a domain someone has registered, but leads to no-where as of today. PSA: Don't go to random web addresses you find on the Internet or elsewhere.

From Remedy's business review JANUARY–MARCH 2024

Codename Condor, a part of the Control franchise, moved to full production meaning it has reached the final development stage before a game is launched. Based on wide internal playtests, we can see that the core loop is engaging, and the game brings a unique Remedy angle to the genre.

Control 2 team has focused on finalizing the proof-of-concept stage, in which the game world, game mechanics and visual targets are proven. We expect the project to advance to the production readiness stage during the second quarter of 2024.

Max Payne 1&2 remake continued in the production readiness stage. The game is expected to move into full production during the second quarter of 2024.

Codename Kestrel continued in the concept stage. The team works to refine the game concept.

If you google something like '7680hz led', you'll find many results of products and such. 7680 is a multiple of 20, 24, 30, 60, among others, which are all common frame speeds for video files, but also for recording video. I also found this video, which shows the difference of large size screens with different refresh rates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP6fHWcUifo

Human eyes have three kinds of cells (photoreceptors) for color detection. They each react to either red, green or blue light. If more than one of those cells are activated, your brain interprets the light based on what cells activated, and how strongly they activated. If red and green cells activates, the light is seen as yellow. The light is seen as white if all of them activates fully.

This also means that light bulbs can produce white light by simply producing three wavelengths (colors) of light. The problem with that kind of “fake” white is that colors will look wrong under such light due to the way how objects reflects light. This is very common with low quality LED lights, and even the best smart lights aren't very good at it. When buying LED lights, you might want to look at the CRI (Color Rendering Index) value and make sure it's above 90, or as high as possible.

Are you sure none of the developers of the open source free alternative aren't homophobic, transphobic, or in some other way bad people?

Or just wait for the reviews, and then the next sale. These Steam sales aren't one-off special offers, they happen a few times every year.

There's something wrong with the device. Paperwhite's battery should last for weeks, especially if it's somewhat recent model. Try to calibrate the battery by charging it to full, and continue to charge couple more hours after it's full. Then use the device until the battery is completely empty (the device turns off by itself). And finally charge it to full. Do not charge it while you are discharging the battery, or interrupt the charging while charging to full. If that doesn't help, the battery might be faulty or there is something wrong on the software side of things.

The word "tea" in Japanese and Chinese is cha (茶). Matcha is a Japanese green tea that goes through specific production steps, and the end result is very fine powder. To prepare matcha tea you mix matcha powder with hot water, traditionally, using a bamboo whisk.

Maybe you should treat your wife with better quality matcha

A recent study found that "Super Mario Odyssey" reduced depression symptoms more than cognitive training or standard treatments

The N-value was pretty low, only 46 participants divided to three groups, so one can't draw too many definitive conclusions from this study. Also their findings were reduced symptoms. If your house is on fire and you figure out a way to reduce the amount of smoke, it will appear as if your house is less on fire. Still, interesting results which implies that games could be used as part of a treatment.

with participants showing higher motivation

They found out that people like playing video games more than going to a psychiatrist.

Hopefully! It can't come soon enough... unless they rush it, I suppose. But that's usually not Remedy's style.

How is it privacy invasive? For example, compared to competition like Google?

I think it would be enough if other search providers would be required to give a portion of their profit from each search to Google.
