I do mostly video work. I am using DaVinci Resolve, which does have a Linux version, but a camera codec I very frequently encounter works seamlessly under Windows, and not at all under Linux. I've so far been unable to find a way to

I had Desktop icons disappear after a Windows update; individual game icons stop working after a Steam update; and Minecraft network play breaking constantly when Windows is on one version and whatever other device is on a different version

I hate trying to teach my children how to use Windows these days. When I was young, it took some effort to get programs up and running, but once you cleared that hurdle, the computer worked the same, consistently, every single time you tu

I want to gently push back on this from my perch in NYC. Pre-Uber, taxis had their monopolistic issues but were: - available at most times on major thoroughfares with a raise of the hand. - reliable - I was never once jerked around or over

Trying to identify and remove bias in any direction is a worthy goal. That said, an evenhanded and factual approach to doing this may result in more negative sentiment towards people or organizations that deny facts; push fringe ideas with

They are not great for listening to music in high fidelity. The are great for spoken word, and fine for music if you're not super concerned about quality; I liken it to listening to music from the speaker on a small portable FM radio.

My cynical and informed-only-by-observation take is that it is a win win for lawmakers of both parties. It allows people who want to buy weed to get it, without those local politicians seeming overly radical or permissive by decriminalizin

With root and installing LineageOS, do you feel confident that any stock malware/spyware is eradicated? Or do you feel that the risk, or whatever may be left over, is worth it for the benefits?

The Governor is pretty clearly doing this with the intent of saving vulnerable House seats. HOWEVER, it is misguided IMO because the political capital to get congestion pricing to the finish line has ~already~ been expended. The Governor,

I understand maybe just 1 to 3 of every 30 articles I see here, but they're usually the most educational and thought provoking content I've found all day. Seeing so much interesting subject matter that I don't know keeps me

I can attest it also happens in New York suburbs.

I have a SodaStream that uses a glass bottle. The bottle is fully enclosed in a metal shield while being pressurized to prevent injury if the bottle breaks. I've had it for years without any bottles breaking; the glass is quite thick

Cut and cover isn't as simple as it used to be because of the huge amount of underground infrastructure laid down over time, without proper mapping. Digging up any street in NYC is labor intensive, time consuming, and dangerous. Wheth

I read the books and enjoyed them. - To respond to one criticism seen widely here, the authors claim to have validated ages with historical municipal birth records in all the Blue Zones. I cannot speak to these particular zones, but I'

Just chiming in that I am in this boat too. I find it easy to fast at the office, provided there's not some ridiculous snack brought in by coworkers. However, at home the sheer amount of food I see while I'm preparing it for the k

Cuomo literally harrased his own highly competent NYC Transit director into resigning, for disagreements and stealing the spotlight. The LGA airtrain is an expensive boondoggle that is thankfully looking like it will be canceled. He was in

I was shocked to discover, several months after the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were approved in America and trumpeted as proof of the speed and efficacy of our modern, capitalist medical system... that the Sinopharm and Sputnik V vaccines

My Google Home has definitely done this on several occasions. Seems sporadic though, not enough to truly annoy me yet.

Regardless of the merits of any particular one of those articles - this is scare mongering as it completely ignores that around 5 million people have died from COVID worldwide, while around 3 billion people have received the vaccine safely.

You're very free to not get vaccinated and endure the consequences, just as you were free to not get vaccinated as a child and be home schooled.

Any useful comparison of outcomes would need to consider deaths instead of case rates as we have a well-known more-transmissible variant in play now compared to the beginning of the pandemic. Most of your sources don't do that. The li

I understand and am quite sympathetic to his argument, but Greenwald and many other posters here are ignoring the known fact that foreign actors are using Facebook at scale to sow division and misinformation throughout the US and other coun
