Can I just call lossy compression AI and use this as a defense?

Yahoo is still around in some form or another.

Alphabet has enough money to persist well after they lose relevance.

Is GN going to put Google on a Performance Improvement Plan like they did with Asus?

The chain of cities from Detroit to Québec City really looks like it should be a prime candidate for HSR.

Well the context was a concern about a defamation suit resulting from this post. If the company never found this post then the anonymity of the poster is irrelevant anyway. The company could easily tell who made this post based on the timing of their already existing email correspondance seeing as this is clearly not a request they receive often.

That’s flawed logic. The company would pretty easily know who has been emailing to request the source code for that specific tool in the timeline just before this post. The lemmy profile may be anonymous, but I doubt OP’s emails were.

If you have a long shadow, the sunlight that gets to you has gone through much more atmosphere which attenuates the ultraviolet light. So at high/low lattitudes and during morning/evening hours the amount of uv that gets to the surface is much lower.

No, never. Current charging rates already get close to thermal constraints. Hitting those charging rates either requires accepting much lower power density or using way more metal per cell. This research might inform design changes to improve charging rates, but we’ll never see high capacity batteries charging in a minute.

The researchers know this and only mention wearables and iot devices applications. The article author erroneously makes the leap to high energy density devices.

If you don’t care about energy density at all, ceramic capacitors can already charge and discharge in microseconds.

A bear has time and motivation to keep trying over and over again to get into the garbage. People are generally much less determined to figure it out.

Because it doesn’t do anything to indicate to a reader what the content of your post is. Titles should tell people what you’re talking about.

Yeah, the mistake here is in putting the beef and gravy on top resulting in mush. Putting the potatoes on top and allowing them to crisp would really change the flavor and texture.

You can only find a screwdriver by first releasing your intent to use it.

With an ad blocking dns.

Go down to the configure manually option and follow the instructions for iPhone.

I think next guard is also supposed to be decent, but they won’t let you use it without an account.

The nice thing about the dns approach is it works for more than just your web browser. There’s a bunch of Android games that are essentially unplayable without an adblocking dns.

As a disclaimer, a bunch of sites are ramping up requiring enabling ads or they won’t let you load the content. I’m ok with just hitting back and not viewing those sites, but my MIL just asked for help removing the ad guard dns because her news sites wouldn’t let her in.

Did you miss the Sci fi shows that taught us that we have to let the tech tycoons enjoy new technology exclusively for a good decade or so before it can be sold to the masses? So your smart contacts are probably in Tim Cook or Satya Nadella’s secret lab in a mountain valley.

Color-safe bleach seems to be Hydrogen Peroxide based, so you were probably safe.

Traditional Sodium Hypoclorite bleach should never be mixed with vinegar. That can release chlorine gas which is very bad for you even at low concentrations.

In general, use one cleaning agent at a time with thorough rinses in between. It can be hard to predict how cleaning agents will react. You’re likely to reduce the effectiveness of them by mixing, and there’s a chance of making dangerous byproducts.

They can quit anytime they want. In fact, they’ve quit 4 times this year already.

I thought I had gotten rid of cheques, but I had to get a book specifically to get my passport.

That’s been a recurring theme in US based semiconductor for decades. I have two friends who were highly skilled in semiconductor equipment servicing and both have left the industry due to terrible management/pay.

Fine, I’ll bite.

But it’s not a console, it’s a PC.

Yes, it’s a PC with the form factor advantages of a console, making it suitable for placement in an entertainment center. So I expect people to use them similarly to a console, with wireless controllers/keyboard&mouse while displaying on their TV, rather than at a desk with a monitor. Perhaps I should have use the Home Theater PC nomenclature instead. Although, HTPC doesn’t necessarily include gaming capability.

Why not use a laptop at your desk and move your gaming PC into the living room?

Physical size is a big deal for some people. Having a tower present isn’t always agreeable with other household members.

Or use a streaming service like Steam Link?

I do. However, that requires you already having a fully built out gaming rig, not to mention it comes with severe limitations on latency and max resolution/refresh rate. If someone doesn’t already have a gaming PC, then these have all the appeal of a pre-built while being as small as a console. Plus,a lot of people don’t have ethernet run everywhere and streaming over wifi is not a good experience.

Build an ITX. That’s what I did. And I chose a really nice case from the plethora of available options that fits into my living room nicely.

An ITX case is still too big to fit in my entertainment center whereas the nuc would not have that problem. I can only assume the same is true for some other people as well. It’s a little odd that someone who went through extra trouble to go for an ITX form factor wouldn’t understand why an even more compact solution has value.

…where did you get that idea?

Because you are arguing from a foregone conclusion that someone who wants one is wrong. You aren’t trying to understand, you are trying to win the argument. Your responses read a lot like a troll. If that’s not your intention, then I suggest you look at your first response from the perspective of an outside observer and see if it comes off as hostile.

It sounds like you may have purchased one of these things and are personally offended that someone would question that decision.

I have a full tower at my desk, and use a steam link/ps5 for the TV. I don’t have to use one to appreciate why others would find the option appealing.

I did pick a NUC for an HMI once. I don’t think that made me particularly biased though.

It seems like it’s not a matter of not understanding, you just hate the concept.

The NUC form factor is not something I’ve gone for myself, but it’s not that hard to imagine how it could be appealing to some. What I don’t understand is why you would take that preference so personally.
