The thing that got me was the lighting. I’ve been camping and you just can’t get a good photo of your tent fire. Not as well lit as this at least.

10.9.0 is the latest. It just launched a day or two ago.

If I were launching an air raid on a flat earth, I’d have the planes fly over the edge and under the earth. They wouldn’t be able to see you coming.

But if stupid Americans can use the “difficult” system, it can’t be too hard.

I think about this whenever I see someone complain about how Fahrenheit is arbitrary and how are you supposed to remember that water freezes at 32° and boils at 212°. I guess American brains are just able to retain more.

Some fridges have a water/ice dispenser built into the door. Not all American fridges have it and it’s available in other markets too.

It’s more like like a seasoned veteran, not cooking seasoning.

You aren’t throwing garlic on the pan and then putting it in the cupboard. You build up layers of polymerized oil on the pan as you cook on it.

It’s supposed to be hardware transcoding with on an Intel cpu (using vaapi) . No idea if it’s actually working.

I have this issue whenever I have to deal with transcoding. The stream will usually die after a few minutes of watching. I haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary in the logs. I’ve just resigned myself to lugging around the device I have that can direct stream the files.

Galaxy quest. Just watched it for the first time 2 days ago.

The apostrophe is also used for possession. For example, the DoJ’s lawsuit against Apple was filed Thursday morning or Adrian’s baseball went missing. It’s only backwards for its.

When looking for media online, you pretty much just need a good adblocker and the sense not to run any random executables.

The media files themselves are very unlikely to have malware attached. They would need to exploit a bug in the specific video player you are using and then exploit another bug in your OS to get admin privileges before doing any real damage. It’s pretty much just theoretical. Keep your stuff up to date and don’t worry about it.

Wow. And here I was thinking Elmer’s glue was named after the Borden cartoon cow. It’s nice knowing you can learn history like this from Lemmy comments.

Newer generations have decoders/encoders for more codecs. 8th gen Intel Core cpus have good HEVC support while you need the more recent gens for good AV1 support.

If it’s legal money, then you aren’t laundering it. Transferring money you’ve obtained legally is just transferring money. It’s only money laundering by definition if the money was illegally gained.

The Tesla cruise control feature turns the ‘auto’ high beams on every time you activate it and the feature is really poorly implemented. The camera it uses to detect other cars will loses sight of you when you get close and it’ll flip the highbeams on in your face.

It does have that feature, but it’s worse than just leaving the high beams on. It uses the cameras to try to detect cars. It detects cars way later than my old Mazda used to and then right as the car gets close to passing you, the camera loses sight of it and flips the high beams back on. Looks like you are trying to intentionally blind people.

The flag holds the world record of being the oldest continuously used national flag, that is since 1625.

While the flag might date back to 1219, it wasn’t in continuous use until 1625.

They haven’t though? I just checked the list of blocked instances and they are both still there.

Both of those points were actually covered in an earlier blogpost that was linked in this one. It talked about how the new contributors often have an incentive to make a quick easy fix to solve their problem while the established developers have a bunch of rules, often unspoken, that they use to try to keep the code base maintainable. If you just take in any old code, you run the risk of making the code harder to work with or alienating your developers who spend time cleaning up the code. If you dump a bunch of rules on the new contributor, you run the risk of making them feel unappreciated with your “nitpicky” feedback.

The ads thing is because you probably have a different idea of what an ad is then they do. Usually when they are talking about ads, it’s self-promotional stuff. Teams being built in, Onedrive asking to be setup, and especially Edge constantly begging you to give it a chance.

There’s also that link to the Microsoft store for Candy Crush in the start menu of fresh installs of Windows 10. I imagine that’s what kicked off the whole ‘loaded with ads’ thing. That’s one anyone can agree on.
