I can't imagine you'd have any issue. My jellyfin box has an fx6300 with an even older quadro gpu (600 I think), and it doesn't seem to have any issue running multiple streams at once. I'm honestly not even sure if it's…
I'd second this one!
Unfortunately there's an unavoidable stretch of two lane highway with no sidewalk or bike lane between me any my workplace. If I lived somewhere where I could make the trip reasonably safely I absolutely would!
> somewhere between the not-ashtray and the backside of the moon. This makes me crazy. I used to drive a '99 Mazda b2500 (basically a Ford Ranger). I could reach any of the controls without even leaning forward. In a…
So intent to be annoying is a worse offense than intent to rob someone?
I suspect that in the not too distant future (perhaps in my lifetime) there will be companies buying up landfills in order to mine them for recyclable materials.
Maybe facet the mirrors so that the reflections would flicker in some something like Morse code. I imagine it would be very difficult to decipher and could only convey a few bytes though. Maybe just send a sealed…
That's because by default it keeps running in the background when you "close" it.
This isn't quite the same situation but it reminds me a little bit of xkcd.com/1421
My gaming desktop right now is actually an old Dell Precision tower with a third gen i7 that I got for $140 off eBay. I swapped out the PSU, upped the ram to 16gb, added an SSD I had laying around, and replaced the…
I'd guess he wants to be able to sync bookmarks/passwords/etc across platforms. It's nice being able to find something on my phone and then pull it up later on my desktop using synced bookmarks or Firefox's "send tab to…
Something about this reminds me of the Witch-King of Angmar.
I don't believe you can install the play store itself, but Spotify should work. You would have to manually side load it, or install the yalp store which will manage fetching and updating play store apps for you.
Definitely! I thought the same thing. Also relevant: https://xkcd.com/1377/
You're definitely right. I wonder if he's thinking of jumping off of the swing and doing a 360 in the air. Apparently it can be done if your swing has rigid bars in stead of ropes:…
I suspect the bone injuries come from the traction you get on those mats more than perceived safety. In the gravel if you put your arm out to catch a fall, it slips (and you scuff up your palms, learning not to do that…
I actually have Diamond Age downloaded to my ebook reader right now. I'm working through Liu Chixin's Remembrances off the Earth's Past trilogy right now, but I'll have to start it next! I tend to have trouble getting…
Two things I look for when replacing a phone: 1. Lineage OS support. (So you actually get security updates) 2. A decent repairability score on iFixit. (So you don't end up with a brick when your battery dies in a few…
7 000 000 000 * .01% = 700 000 Still, you make a very good point. Homo Sapiens will stick around. Advanced civilization might not.
Out of curiosity, what did you switch to? I'd like to leave Gmail and Proton Mail seems to be pretty well recommended. Is Fast Mail a better option?
I rather doubt that internet communication has become less important since 2013.
The college I went to had a mix of whiteboards and chalkboards. Even as a student I preferred the rooms with chalkboards. It seemed like the light on dark contrast and no glare made them easier to see. I also find…
Guerilla Gravity recently started using a similar process to build carbon fiber mountain bike frames. It's allowed them to build frames in the US that sell for less than comparable bikes made in Asia.…
This is really cool. I (and I think some others around here) would like to move away from Google, etc, but sometimes it's hard to find other options. It's great having a semi-comprehensive list in one place! I'll…
Solus and Elementary come to mind, though I agree I'd hardly call it a Cambrian Explosion.
