I was trying to activate Zelle with my bank and since Zelle is used for scams so often I had to do a bunch of identity verification steps while on the phone with my bank. One of them was to submit a photo of my drivers license. After I did

Ok, but this isn't climate change driven problem. Climate change will keep making this problem harder to manage, but the problem is excessive diversions of water feeding the Great Salt Lake. If climate change were solved tomorrow, this

I always like the idea of megaprojects and several Utah legislators suggested this. It's kind of a dumb idea, though, when you think about it because the vast majority of Utah's diverted water is going towards farming alfalfa to f

I'm trying to figure out how driving less and walking more would result in the Great Salt Lake getting an extra million acre feet of water into it per year. One might argue that would accelerate the collapse of the Great Salt Lake beca

Elon's $1T tranches are mostly based on market cap, right? Switching from just a carmaker to a "physical AI" company could be all he needs to convince the stock market to ignore Tesla's declining profits and raise the ma

This kind of makes we wish CURSED.md was a standard file in projects. So much hard-earned knowledge could be shared.

Google ngram viewer has vendor at two orders of magnitude more usage. Personally, I don't think I've ever seen "vender" before.

That's one of the things that drives me nuts about all the public discourse about AI and our future. The vast majority of words written/spoken on the subject are by generic "thought leaders" who really have no greater un

Prusa is going to use Bondtech's upcoming INDX system, which swaps out the entire filament path. Bambu Vortek seems to just be swapping nozzles so, while that should cut down on waste, it's going to be much slower (XL is already m

I've had two interactions with Wendy's AI drive-through, and the first time I was pleasantly surprised, but the second time it would not stop suggesting add-ons after every single thing I said. It was comically pushy. A human woul

ipcamtalk feels completely captured by resellers and affiliates. I'd suggest taking any advice you see there with a grain of salt.

My understanding is that Ra-Elco essentially moved to Standard Supply after the building burned down. I haven't checked it out myself yet so I can't confirm.

You can configure it to not be enabled by default, but you click a little blue circle next to the title and it will show you the community version. Plenty of good content is forced to play the clickbait thumbnail/title game and it woul

I think you maybe didn't see the "yet" in there. This is software written by unpaid volunteers. There is no user-hostility, only a lack of time and help at implementing things.

It's not though. Even generally good YouTubers are forced to play the thumbnail game. Garbage content is typically revealed in the community title.

Check out the DeArrow extension. Crowd sourced thumbnails and titles. It's great.

GEGL is just a library created to modernize GIMP's image manipulation pipeline. It forms a DAG of image operations. It's what unlocked non-destructive edits and porting everything over to it was a pretty massive undertaking (thoug

Yeah, my collection isn't that big, but my friend's Jellyfin which I use all the time has 4000+ movies and 400+ shows (11,000+ episodes). Works just as well as my significantly smaller collection.

It does not always transcode. It transcodes if your client reports it doesn't support the format or if the bitrate cap on your client is lower than the source media. It says why transcoding is happening in the Administration Dashboard

One of the best things in SponsorBlock is Highlight segments. If the video is 10 minutes of filler building up to a single interesting/exciting moment you can often see exactly on the timeline where to jump to.

I love the DeArrow experience. The problem with clickbait on YouTube is that even good creators are compelled to use it because it works. Whether it's due to the algorithm or just human behaviour I don't know. There's a littl

I think it was in an interview on Norm MacDonald Has A Show that Lorne was asked what the best era of SNL was, and he said the best era for SNL is just whatever one you grew up with. I think he's right about that.

Someone in the reviews posted test results and found they only had a 253-333mAh capacity at 1.5v (so 0.5Wh). 10440 lithium-ion cells (which closely match AAA size) have 250-350mAh at 3.7v (say, 1.295Wh). If they actually had the 1200mAh cap

I'd be terribly scared to use it in a language that isn't statically typed with many, many compile time error checks. Unless you're the type of programmer that is writing sabots all day (connecting round pegs into square hole
