Stupid Differently. Apple’s new slogan.

Channel width is a router setting so it affects everyone who connects to that router. With 40 MHz channel width the maximum connection speed of 5 GHz network is between 150 and 300 Mbps, depending on which Wi-Fi version the router and devices support. If your internet connection happens to be 100 Mbps, it wouldn’t benefit having a faster Wi-Fi connection. Except that the connection quality affects the connection speed, so that 150 Mbps might be less than 100 Mbps if the device is far from the router or the connection is bad for some other reason. The connection speed is important only when downloading or uploading big files. For typical web browsing, video streaming and gaming the connection speed of few tens of Mbps is sufficient. DNS resolving speed for web browsing and ping for gaming are much more important than connection speed.

There’s probably no need to set the 5 GHz channel width to lower than 40 MHz unless the 5 GHz band is really crowded around you. 2.4 GHz should almost always be set to 20 MHz if there are other Wi-Fi networks.

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.

Many plants have anti-nutrients, compounds that inhibit absorption of nutrients. Both coffee and tea inhibit absorption of some minerals, such as iron.

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.

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:

• !tea@lemmy.zip

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

This is a Bluetooth issue, not Linux or Deck specific. When microphone is enabled on a headset, Bluetooth will switch to a different audio codec. That codec supports one output channel (microphone) and one input channel, so it will be mono audio. The sound quality is good enough for audio calls but not for anything else. The only thing you can do is to disable the microphone. Or, you can do what people have done for couple decades now: complain at Bluetooth Special Interest Group until they improve the standard.

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

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.

L-theanine might help with caffeine's side effects. Theanine is a compound found in tea. It's believed to reduce the negative side effects of caffeine, without affecting the positive effects of it.

This is the way solution.

Can also add two spaces at the end of line to force line break

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.

Another good network troubleshooting step is to simply restart the router by unplugging the power cable for 30 or so seconds. It can fix many network related issues with little to no effort and is good practice for security reasons as well. (Restarting the router will effectively close any malware running in router and as long as the router doesn’t start them again after restart, you’ll be safe until your router is again compromised.)

Have you recently moved the router to new location or moved objects around the router? Check the router’s environment for any metal objects. They can cause significant interference. And then there are dead spots. Regardless where inside a building you place Wi-Fi access point, somewhere within its range there is most likely at least one spot where the signal cancels itself.

If the router’s location or “gaming location” has not changed, the reason most likely is that the channel used by the router has become congested. For both 2.4GHz and 5GHz there are recommended channels one should use, and you should choose the one that is least used around you. There are no tools for iOS devices that can help with that because Apple has locked down the required functionality, so use either computer or Android. EDIT: Apple’s AirPort Utility has this functionality after you enable it in Settings app.

5GHz is better for gaming due to better latency. But if you can’t play close enough to the router, 2.4GHz might provide more stable connection.

Fun fact: Black tea is called red tea in China, because of the color.

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

Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Just finished the story mode. It’s Steam Deck Verified, so it runs and plays well, and it’s easy to play with a controller because it has a bit of auto-aim/aim correction.

I did enjoy it. Not a must play by any means, but it does add to the lore of the Alan Wake series. If you are a fan of that game series, I recommend playing this. And if you aren’t, you probably should play the other games in the series. 😉

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.

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?

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.

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.

My family's always sliced the pineapple into disks then cut those into 4ths. You end up with a small part of core per piece.

This is the way. And depending on how hard the core happens to be, you can slice the pineapple into thinner discs or cut them into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.

Maybe you should treat your wife with better quality matcha
