My favorite snack ever, since discontinued, are also covered by patent. Partially popped popcorn that used to be at Trader Joe's.

For comparison, BYD's are in the $10k range

ACDSee old versions (2.6.1?) would preload the next image in memory while scrolling through a folder, making it extremely useful in the age of hard drives. It became bloated, but the only reasons to switch were for newer image formats, and sometimes .gifs would crash it.

FastStone Image Viewer is the performant, slick image viewer I use now.

IrfanView has some rough defaults like if you scroll to the end of a folder, a window pops up that you have to click away before you can scroll back. I use it all the time for simple editing, not viewing.

FreeFileSync

It's what you'd like if your idea of simplicity is dragging and dropping one folder to another, but want to more closely see what files have changed before the copy.

That's the final blow for me. The last use case was when esoteric discussion there would be one of the few search engine results.

I've already long ago edited out all my old posts and deleted the accounts. So sad to see sites grow to become gated advertiser-friendly communities.

Are vegetarians perceived as being bigoted, especially by lower castes?

Wireless mice are faster than wired mice*

*At least, LTT put out a video as such some years ago. Regardless, if you like wireless, BT is a bottom of the barrel solution.

>The law applies to websites in which more than one-third of the content "is sexual material harmful to minors."

I don't use kagi. On WA, this search results in the answer with a prompt with the engine's assumptions, and includes a link to change the assumption to "math" from "word."

These prompts don't show on kagi? Seems like including them would be an avenue for improvement.

>they're using "angstroms" I kinda hoped once they hit 1 "nanometer" they'd stop using these fake units of length.

Depressive hole here. Seeing the concept of finding my first job in tech as near hopeless for someone like me, who has weak network/hustling skills. Going to events I've met other unemployed people, many friends/acquaintances are unemployed or laid off, and differentiating myself from any of them is a social challenge I've never prepared for. It feels worse when it's apparent that to do so, I need relevant work experience and what relevant education I have is not what counts.

When I consider the advice to seek an "adjacent" position and then move to the role I want internally, it feels like I'm in an even worse position because to work tech support, any customer-facing experience is preferable, meaning anyone who's worked retail has yet another leg up on me.

Well, you asked. I'd rather not try to give advice even if I have any.

If by "monetizing the destruction of civil society" you mean making money from posting celebrity nudes on the internet maybe you'll be glad to learn the people doing it are doing it for free.

Are these posts rated in Cuils? This is bringing up old memories.

I also have a bunch of SBCs lying around waiting to be used, and also an ODROID HC2 which has been in use for years. I only dislike that it's not powerful enough for encryption--LUKS + samba could not read/write at disk speeds and was unreliable in my testing.

Really wish there would be an upgrade to the HC2 with about three to four times the performance.

Oops, I mean tibibits.

I think you both have fallen for the bullshit marketing of storage manufacturers who want you to think you're getting 16 terabits of capacity. You're not. You get 16,000,000,000,000 bits.

I know we all like big numbers but

>said to have read speeds of up to 100 MB a second and write speeds of up to 90 MB a second

is useless to say, especially when write caches exist. I only care about minimum speeds, short of in depth analysis. The card is V30, which guarantees 30MB/s write.

I'm reminded of one of my favorite pieces of trivia: there are more trees in America now than there were 100 years ago.

Well, the Rittenhouse case had a very important moment when the victim admitted that, while looking at a freeze-frame view of a video taken when he was shot, he had raised his pistol which was pointed at Rittenhouse only a fraction of a second before. [0]

That photo was critical for the defense getting him to say that.

There were also concerns over wether or not zooming in on an iPad should be allowed in that case--like if a red pixel next to a blue could create a purple one, etc.

Next to any condensate pumps, like you'd have for air conditioning, maybe for a dehumidifier.

Maybe not usually, but here's an example when he was faster than stockfish [0]

The only interpretation I can see is in support of Great Replacement.

More specifically, couriers to hand deliver your messages, like Al Qaeda had.

Technology Connections' videos are a bit long for my taste. This one and its follow up really only have a few takeaways:

Dirt sensors might mean that deliberately leaving crud on the dishes (rather than rinsing first in the sink) leads to longer and better washes

Run your kitchen sink hot water a little before starting to get warmer water into the dishwasher

The first cycle is just water, before the detergent tray pops open, so put detergent into the pre-wash tray or just straight into the tub to make it do more cleaning in that cycle

But don't put two pods in, i.e. one in the detergent tray, and another detergent pod into the tub because these pods are very concentrated and harsh and will damage plates. Only add a little extra powder

From my reading it sounds like her girlfriend Kaidi is under house arrest, and potentially both of them under surveillance. I'm guessing frequent checkins with the local police. Hope I'm not misinterpreting.

Article also notes her historic calling out of potential keyboard app keystroke siphoning threats in China could be related. Sogou input recently found to transmit every keystroke by Citizen Lab.

If I had one I'd never charge above 80% or below 20% anyway. Good deal.

Reminds me of the clock I bought which changed MST/MDT automatically, which forced me to adjust it twice a year unlike like all my other clocks, because I lived in Arizona.

Sorry, this reads as resentment that Trump won and that Wikileaks played a part by putting up Podesta's emails. That is the one instance I've heard of Russian intelligence supposedly funneling data through them, posing as Guccifer, with a specific goal in mind. In what case have the Chinese supposedly used wikileaks?

IIRC "random" isn't quite right, there was logic to find the moment the telemarketer stopped speaking for the next response to play.
