I wonder how long it will take to get mod support after the switch? When there's a major update to the game, it usually takes a long time and there are a lot of mods that don't get updated because it's too much work.
Around 25% for a 1080p 30fps youtube video played in MPV. Power consumption is about 10-12 watts. A video with hardware acceleration uses about 8 watts.
Software decoding is an option. My Thinkpad T480 can play 1080p AV1 if the bitrate isn't super high. That's a mid range business laptop from 2018. It's the encoding that really needs hardware acceleration.
In Linux, the package manager will ask you if you want to install the dependencies. You don't have to install them manually unless you're compiling the program from source.
Hidden junk that a person wouldn't see would likely be picked up by a screen reader. That would make the site much harder to use for a visually impaired person.
Nickel iron is typically used for off grid solar energy storage. Weight doesn't matter at all since the battery won't be moved. The most important thing is lifetime. Traditional nickel iron batteries last for decades and can be refurbished.
UPS batteries need to be fully charged all the time. Lead acid batteries like to be fully charged. Lithium batteries need to be stored around 50% charge to have a long lifetime.
UHD bluray uses H.265. That's one of the best codecs available right now. AV1 can do a bit better for certain content, but it's not a huge difference. Basically nothing supports H.266 yet and AV2 is still in development.
Don't rely on the VPN kill switch for torrenting. It's not fast enough to prevent your IP from leaking if the VPN disconnects. The torrent client needs to be bound to the VPN interface. Transmission doesn't have an option to do that, so you would have to run it in a container instead.
That worked when TV was analog and they were running megawatt transmitters. It doesn't do so well with the low power digital stations unless you are close to the transmitters.
It sure would be nice if Minecraft had a modding API like Luanti.
