  • That looks like one of those gifs of people doing impressions of birds, but I don't think it is.

  • I haven't yet watched the video, but from the posted images, it looks like they converted the image itself to a frequency spectrum, so no image format encoding was involved before it reached the point of being audio.

  • I've seen people discussing a cellphone offer that's like "$800 but you get $800 of bill credits over 24 months" and they would say it's a free phone. But you'd pay $800 plus tax up front and you'd not get that tax back.

    Still a good deal, but it showed how many people were blind to the tax.

  • After removing them (or even if there was nothing to remove) I test out links I'm sending in a private browser window to check that they would work for other people.

  • "Travel Without Moving". Appropriate way to describe VR, even if it's Dune quote.

  • I have some old checkbooks that have "19__" printed on the date area.

    I still have the account, but there's little need to use checks any more.

  • One of the terrible things is that they will bill you much more if you don't have insurance, or if you have insurance but they are not in your insurance "network" (which is basically your insurer acting like a union to negotiate prices down for it's members).

  • And there's are those gadgets that have a USB-C socket but don't have the correct circuitry, so that they only work with a USB-A to C cable.

  • For newer pixels there's a feature that runs a local AI to monitor the conversation and will alert you if the conversation seems scam-like.

    Telling grandma to be suspicious of buying Target cards to pay the IRS might be an actual good use for AI.

  • Pykrete was invented by the cousin of the science TV presenter whose voice can be heard on Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science".

  • You know how the weather forecast has the temperature and the "feels like" temperature?

    Well, this is the 405 and the "feels like" 405.

  • BASIC uses (used?) it to declare variables. (I don't know if earlier languages did.)

    Not that that's a reason for other languages to copy it.

  • NSFW

  • My autistic son would happily play in the park. Just once every few months he would decide that “now is the time to run” and just take off as fast as he could in a straight line. How would that play out in a busy street.

    People can’t imagine that: so much of the time things are calm, straightforward to handle, but if EVER you let your guard down for a second at the wrong time, you’ll end up on the news as a “tragic story of grieving negligent parent.”
