tylerflick··on 40M Americans Live Alone, 29% of households
It’s a complete mis-use of needed space regardless of someone’s sentimental value attached to it.

The culprit is not the concentration of jobs to a geographic area, it’s NIMBYs and crap like California’s Prop 13 artificially constraining supply.

tylerflick··on A Year of 3D Printing
Any reason you are recommending PLA instead of PETG?
tylerflick··on An Elizabethan mansion's secrets for staying warm
I grew up like this. We had special glass plates on the doors so you could see the fire (though this meant cleaning the glass every week).
tylerflick··on State of the Fin 2026-01-06
If you’re referencing the Android TV client, yes I have both Atmos and DTS:X streaming as passthrough to my receiver. One thing of note is that DTS:X only seems to work with MKV containers on Android.
tylerflick··on What happened to all the gold Spain got from the New World? (1985)
> every other metal known at the time

You’re forgetting lead, but the point is all the same.

tylerflick··on I can't upgrade to Windows 11, now leave me alone
To the benefit of everyone backing up their media libraries.
tylerflick··on AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D sells for more than 9800X3D, enthusiasts flock to AM4 DDR4
The 5800X didn’t ship with a stock cooler IIRC. Mine is cooled with a 360 AIO + PTM7950, the thing just runs really hot when all cores are hitting ~4.4GHz.

> 5600X is cheaper and acts less than a heater over the winter

It’s impossible to keep my 5800x below 90C under full load.

tylerflick··on 1.5 TB of VRAM on Mac Studio – RDMA over Thunderbolt 5
> TOTALLY okay with it consuming +600W energy

The 2019 i9 Macbook Pro has entered the chat.

tylerflick··on Fix HDMI-CEC weirdness with a Raspberry Pi and a $7 cable
Doh, you’re right. I’m over here getting my protocols mixed up. IIRC it is very similar though.
tylerflick··on Fix HDMI-CEC weirdness with a Raspberry Pi and a $7 cable
CEC is just i2c which is a bus. In fact you can hook regular i2c devices up to an HDMI port and communicate with them. You’ll need a resistor and shouldn’t draw more than 50 mA.
tylerflick··on LG TV's new software update installed MS Copilot, which cannot be deleted
Yeah, as someone with two of these I would never let them connect to the internet. It’s chock full of ads.

I do connect them to a jailed LAN so I can control them over the network.

tylerflick··on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
Monitor brightness is controlled over CEC which is just i2c. Windows most certainly supports this on an OS level.
tylerflick··on Screenshots from developers: 2002 vs. 2015 (2015)
If you want a macOS/OS X release with soul, check out Snow Leopard.
tylerflick··on Don't throw away your old PC–it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy
Are people doing more than serving SMB shares with their NAS’s? I feel like I’m missing out on something.
tylerflick··on AI CEO – Replace your boss before they replace you
Musk isn’t getting a trillion. Tesla sales would have to skyrocket.
tylerflick··on Alan.app – Add a Border to macOS Active Window
PopOS's Cosmic DE has this baked in. I was unsure about the feature at first, but it has proved itself useful. I wonder if this will eventually be Shirlocked into macOS.
tylerflick··on US banks scramble to assess data theft after hackers breach financial tech firm
Vanguard supports Yubikey.
tylerflick··on PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory. RAM jumps to $600 due to shortage
Also, Spiderman 2 since it’s a Playstation exclusive. Incredible game worth every penny.
tylerflick··on I hate screenshots of text
Totally agree. It’s one of those features that feels like magic. So handy for those digital purchase codes you get with blu-rays.
tylerflick··on 52 Year old data tape could contain Unix history
Or even worse, what if they vibe coded it?
tylerflick··on Eating stinging nettles
I have severe food allergies and have used desensitization to expand what I can eat. It can take months and occasionally backfires, but it works.
tylerflick··on Raspberry Pi Pico Bit-Bangs 100 Mbit/S Ethernet
Not at that transfer rate. SPI which is the next fastest (common) protocol you find on micros typically operates around 10 Mhz, but this isn’t an apples to apples comparison.
tylerflick··on Andrej Karpathy – It will take a decade to work through the issues with agents
I think I hated life most after 20 miles. Especially in training.
tylerflick··on Why I have to buy doughnuts with cash
Why not both? Why limit your financial vessels?

A broken clock is right twice a day.

For real. Where is my Dennis Ritchie coin?
tylerflick··on New-Vehicle Avg Price Hits Record High in Sep, Surges Past $50k for First Time
This. I was fortunate to be able to have the choice to leave, but it wasn’t always this way. I often reflect on what it was like to have constant dread of the next auto repair I would have to pay for.
tylerflick··on DDoS Botnet Aisuru Blankets US ISPs in Record DDoS
Not sure about monitoring, but I always put any device I don’t trust on a jailed LAN/AP.
tylerflick··on More random home lab things I've recently learned
It’s another league, but I don’t get the point of mixing enterprise rack-mounts with Raspberry Pis.
