  • Spotify Wrapped 2024 controversy explained — what you need to know

    跳过

  • Primarily, remote control from one PC to another. I've got a desktop connected to my speakers but when working from home I want to use my work laptop to control the speakers. Tidal has a version of it that can control media streamer devices, but it is unreliable.

  • Spotify Wrapped 2024 controversy explained — what you need to know

    跳过

  • It just frustrates me how nobody is even close to Spotify Connect nor do they seem to be trying to compete with it. Tidal only half does what I need but I have had a number of major issues with it that are making me go back to Spotify.

  • 1080p viewing experience

    跳过

  • The one I've noticed is that for videos with the 1080p "Enhanced Bitrate" option, the free 1080p video looks like a blurry mess compared to normal 1080p content.

  • What pieces of software can you recommend that's free, efficient and does not bullshit around?

  • "Everything" for searching

  • How to properly test my internet speed from ISP?

    跳过

  • It sounds like everything in your network is at least gigabit, which means you should practically be able to get at least 920Mbit speeds after the overhead on speedtest. Also try the google and fast.com speedtests as sometimes they show different results. Also do a full reboot on every device on your network just in case.

    Your ISP is probably going to tell you that your speeds are "up to 1Gbps" and that getting lower speeds are normal. I'd still push them for not providing speeds within a reasonable limit of what you are paying for. For reference on my connection I can easily get 930Mbps down on my 1Gbps connection probably 90% of the time.

  • Sigh, why do people use these hygrometers?

    跳过

  • Yeah I looked at a pack of these on amazon recently and had a good laugh at the tolerance they provided for one of the measurements.

  • I'll die on the hill that classic outlook is far better than Gmail and similar web interfaces for email especially if you have long threads or lots of emails.

    Also somehow Google's email search sucks so bad compared to searching in outlook.

  • Motorola Outsources 90% of Its Phones, Xiaomi 78%, Vivo 52%, While Apple Outsources None

    跳过

  • Yup, Motorola sold the mobility division to Google who rustled through their pockets for spare patents before selling the remainder of the brand to Lenovo.

  • [QUESTION] Does non-alcoholic wine work as well as regular wine as an ingredient and pan deglazer?

    跳过

  • Generally consider what an ingredient is bringing to a dish when considering alternatives.

    Deglazing is simply using a liquid to remove fond from the pan, any liquid will do.

    Wine brings a few flavours to a dish, primarily sour and umami. Add a bit of vinegar or other acid for the sour. Tomato paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, and stock will all add umami, but you may have to be careful about the amounts to avoid other flavours you may not like (I'll sometimes mix small amounts of multiple umami boosters to avoid a specific flavour from standing out).

    The main thing you won't be able to replicate is the aromas carried by the alcohol.

  • Do I need to learn a 3D modeling software?

    跳过

  • This post turned out to be a bit of a rant about what drives me to model my own designs most of the time. In short, it isn't required, but I highly recommend it.

    I'd say that most people who own 3D printers have little to no skill in modelling and are happy printing whatever they can download online. Maybe they hit a point where they want more, but until then learning modelling isn't a useful skill for them.

    Personally, I'm a designer at the end of the day. 3D modelling is a crucial tool in taking my ideas and bringing them to life in a way that can be passed to a manufacturing process and made into a physical object. 3D printing just happens to be the manufacturing tool I use most often for personal projects because it is what I have the easiest access to. If I had a machine shop, I'd use that too. When working on high volume products I'll design for injection molding, die casting, sheet metal, compression molding, etc.

    I'm not against utilizing models people have already put online that solve the problem I want, that is just efficient use of resources. But I agree, most models out there are very poor quality so I pretty rarely use downloaded models. Heck, I just re-modelled Gridfinity bins because I couldn't find a parametrically adjustable model for SolidWorks that I was happy with (on that note, the dimensional documentation for Gridfinity is straight garbage and I'm still not sure I have it right) and those are some of the most widely available models out there.

    I also absolutely despise STL and other non-parametric file formats for sharing designs. They are terrible, inefficient formats that make files very hard to edit. Most people don't export them in high enough resolution resulting in horrible looking faceted models. The community needs to fully accept STEP as the file format of choice now that any slicer worth using can import them properly.

  • I remember that Ice soap was also around this time, so of course reddit took it too far and combined them.

  • UK will have removed China’s Hikvision surveillance cameras from sensitive sites by April 2025 as further risks through connected cars, EVs are addressed, report says

    跳过

  • Mostly better safe than sorry, but not over compensating IMO. All these large companies in China are partially government owned and many of them have known bad security and backdoors that have been exploited (e.g. to create botnets) and could potentially be exploited by the Chinese government who is less friendly with the West these days.

  • Do you use "mould" or "mold"?

    跳过

  • I use mold for everything, but don't really bat an eye at using mould for the tool that is used to make parts which I see pretty often through my work.

  • What word or term annonys you?

    跳过

  • Seriously, my bank used to have a password requirement that was 6 characters exactly, no more or less. Plus symbols were completely banned. The reason, it was also your phone password, so in reality it was a 6 digit numeric password where they interpreted the T9 letters as numbers.

  • What word or term annonys you?

    跳过

  • I unreasonably hate the word "moreover". I see no reason why you wouldn't use the words "also", "additionally", or even "furthermore" that sound way better when read.
