  • There's a button "Show Bookmarklet and Settings Data" that saves all the settings to query parameters

  • No, those are known issues with Firefox for Android. They've been around for years now, but are not common enough for Mozilla to actually address them. The blank tab thing is what forced me to switch. Sometimes an existing tab would break permanently, had to close and undo close, lose all the page state.

    And it's slower, and it doesn't have a tablet UI... sucks but it's not an option for me.

  • This seems like a silly workaround at first but it's really not. If the network is unreliable, you can't really use normal video streaming, you need to send full screenshots. Probably still a better idea to use only I-frames than a bunch of JPEGs but whatever.

    But they did make some very silly mistakes. Par for the course of an AI coding company I guess.

    1. WTF are you doing with 40mbps. Tone it down to like 8.
    2. If the network is reliable but slow, just reduce bitrate and resolution. Don't use JPEGs unless packet loss is the problem.
    3. WTF are you doing using a whole game streaming server for? It's meant for LAN, with minimal latency. Just capture the screen and encode it, send via WebSockets. Moonlight is completely unnecessary.
    4. Only keep the latest frames on the server. Don't try to send them all immediately or it'll fall behind. Wait for the client to finish receiving before sending another one. This way it won't lag behind increasingly. This should have been extremely obvious.
    5. H264 is so 2003, ask the client if it supports AV1 or HEVC then use that, more data for free.
    6. Use WebTransport when available, it's basically made for live streaming
    7. Why are you running a screenshot tool in terminal then grabbing the jpg... Unnecessary file overhead & dependency

    I probably missed some but even for an AI company this is really bad

  • The modern method is more efficient if your network is unreliable.

    Modern: I-frame (screenshot) then a bunch of P-frames (send only what changed). If a frame gets lost, the following frames aren't really usable, frozen until next I-frame Old: Send only full screenshots. Each frame has all the data, so losing one doesn't matter.

  • Why ipv6 only though? Is there something about it that makes it more resilient to DDOS? If a device on the botnet has both ipv4 and ipv6 I don't see how it's mitigated

  • Word.

    Jump
  • A line immediately after that: "Windows Powershell failed to load .NET command. Aborting..."

    So presumably some of those commands will fail if .NET is missing.

  • Removed

    whatever, it works

  • Just install fd-find. I found it to be the most intuitive way to search for files

  • The average person is not going to sign up and pay for 10 different things, even if it's slightly more private. Proton is similar to Google in that it's free and has a lot of things with one account, but vastly different in the way the data is handled, probably the most meaningful difference. I mean the best thing you can do is self host but it's obviously not something everyone can or wants to do. So there's nothing wrong with taking the next best thing.

  • I agree with some of what he's saying, but is seems like the main issue is surveillance, not digitizing IDs. I mean if you have a driver's license you're already in a digital database. Or if you were, know, born. If they wanted to track you, they can use your car (like Flock Safety) or just your face. They already know where you live and where you work. The problem he faced in China is being required to scan IDs everywhere (and get logged), and that the government has total control of their internet. Neither of which are happening here.

    It seems like the current way it's going to be implemented is basically storing ID information on your phone that's signed by the government. So if the bank scans it they can see your information, that it wasn't tampered with, and that it matches what the government has. Just some bytes that got cryptographically signed. Not much different from a physical ID that's "signed" by having a bunch of security features. They already have to verify any identification you hand them, this will just make it more convenient.

    Now if the government can see each time you use it and what for, that's different. That's what he's against. But it doesn't seem like that's the way it will go. And it seems like digital ID is optional, you can just use a physical ID. So this seems very alarmist to me, IMO.

  • Ɛ:

  • Use the OS battery charge limiter (or Magisk "ACC" module). Most phones have the capability to bypass the battery and draw from the adapter. Keep it cool and at 60%, and it won't get spicy. Heat, cycles, and high/low voltages kill batteries, so by avoiding all of those they'll stay unspicy.

  • If there's a market for it, replacements will be made. You can buy a replacement PS5 battery for $5. You can also buy a iPhone 4 battery (still). LiPos are quite easy to make (geopolitics aside) so making one that fits is not hard at all.

    The PS5 battery has a plug, if the Steam Controller is like that (probably is), the only tool required is a screwdriver, which seems like a great tradeoff to replace the battery every 5+ years instead of every week or two, and being able to recharge it easily and quickly.

    Worst case scenario you have to use a generic battery that is about the right size instead of a perfect fit. Maybe a little less battery life but it's still more than enough anyway.

    • Press the power button to silence a ringing phone call.
    • You're not using screenshot and crop, you're using AI Select, which yeah, is going to try and do more stuff.
    • AI select is instant for me, no idea why it's slow for you
    • If you REALLY want to use AI select, and it detects text, press the OCR button to undo OCR and press the save button.
  • https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304572591_A_Meta-Analysis_of_High_Resolution_Audio_Perceptual_Evaluation

    "Results showed a small but statistically significant ability of test subjects to discriminate high resolution content, and this effect increased dramatically when test subjects received extensive training."

    Basically, people can just barely detect high res audio but it's not much better than a coin flip. If you have lots of experience you're more accurate but not by a whole lot.

    Anyway 48kHz sampling can produce up to 24kHz and the human limit is like 20kHz. Most songs don't have 96db of dynamic range, and 120db is hearing damage, so the idea that the average person can easily hear the difference is not true.

  • I'm pretty sure you used to be able to do that with an app. I don't know if it's still a thing, but you could at one point create & save a ratio of a bunch of drinks, scan a QR on the screen, and pour. I think you could share them too?

  • You could make that case for the boomers, but with the advent of the Internet it's not really limited to specific countries anymore. Gen z just describes people who grew up with some access to the internet, but not to the extent of alpha. A large part of these recent revolts were caused or accelerated by social media. Gen Z is more specific than young people, and in this case also more culturally relevant.

    Doesn't matter anyway, even if you think Gen Z isn't real you know what age range the article is talking about.

  • urinal to b3. easiest puzzle of my life
