This was definitely just Samsung’s thing, but I had thought it made it out into the wild. Not 100% sure.

All the phone image post processing was literally what drove me to buy a Digital Full-frame Mirrorless camera. I know the raw photos coming off that are completely unedited, and I can choose to do any color correction or whatever myself. My previous Samsung phone always seemed to output smeary garbage when taking photos in the forest.

Unfortunately with Google’s antitrust lawsuits, it’s quite likely Mozilla will lose the majority of their funding in the near future, since their biggest source of revenue is Google paying them to be default.

I have absolutely no clue what my highschool locker combination is, but I guarantee you if you handed me the lock, I could open it first or second try. That muscle memory is burned deep into my hands, and it’s been over 10 years.

I’ve been eating gluten free for 15+ years now, and it’s gotten so much easier now. Though the food definitely costs more if you want any sort of grains.

When I was diagnosed I had basically no symptoms (my mom was also diagnosed). Now if I eat gluten I’ll end up feeling similar to a hangover. It’s amazing what your body can get used to if you’re eating it constantly.

Now that I’ve been eating gluten free, several of my other food sensitivities and allergies have become more mild or gone away entirely. Milk was a big one when I was younger (tested negative for lactose, but the milk proteins can look similar to gluten to your immune system).

A Raspberry PI should be fine for direct play, but it doesn’t really have the processing power to transcode. Check to see which mode you’re in.

If you want the ability to live transcode, you’d probably have better luck with an old laptop or PC with a dedicated GPU (Even the lowest end ones have the same video encoding hardware in each generation, I use a GTX 1050).

Seize who’s assets exactly? The second you draw a line and say anyone on the other side has fewer rights than you, you’re falling right in line with those same right-wing policies.

There is no way to define a law against “right-wingers” that doesn’t infringe on basic rights like freedom of opinion and freedom from discrimination. You can’t punish people for being part of a group. You need to point to something specific that each individual has done that is illegal before prosecuting. Anything less and society will break down into fascism.

Surprising, since Lex Luthor was often portrayed as a wealthy billionaire.

Who else downloaded LimeWire Pro using LimeWire?

Media PCs for the win!

Let me just shorten this down 8 feet

I’ve never heard of someone being arrested for breaching ToS though. They could be sued for breach of contract, but that’s it. So far the only thing I could think of is if the bots were illegally acquired by hacking devices or something. There’s nothing illegal about paying for a server and having it download free Spotify streams.

Exactly, I don’t think there was anything illegal here. At best it’s breach of contract with Spotify or whoever, and they could get sued. MAYBE there’s some interpretation of fraud that could apply? But it’s not like he sold anything and misrepresented it.

I’ve seen Luke talk about it a little, and at least during the clips I watched, Github wasn’t mentioned. If he specifically says somewhere he’s only looking for open source coding projects, then sure, that’s a little unreasonable.

More generally though, there are plenty of hobbies you can talk to an employer about that could show “passion” without being programming. Personally I enjoy working on my own car, and I’ve talked about that before as a side project in interviews. If your hobbies require any skill at all, and aren’t just “turn your brain off and watch YouTube”, it will help you in just about any job. And from what I’ve heard from LTT, they’re not really any different.

I have not once said anything about programming in this discussion. The side project could be knitting for all I care. I specifically said it’s not important if the side projects are directly related to your job.

I’m not sure I would call Bose snake oil, but the audiophile space certainly is full of it. On the one hand, you’ve got overpriced equipment that’s not very good value but works, and on the other you’ve got literal scams like gold plated fiber optics and “audiophile-grade” network switches that are literally incapable of changing the quality of your audio because the signals are digital and have error correction, so it will either work or it won’t. Placebo effect + choice-supportive bias are enough to get these things positive reviews though.

I haven’t had it randomly disconnect, but I certainly have had my headphones randomly connect to my phone in the middle of a video call on my laptop. The crappy multi-device support for Bluetooth is the bane of my existence.

It’s not a joke. UWB adoption could easily stay ahead of Bluetooth 6 adoption. There’s nothing requiring phone manufacturers to always update to the latest Bluetooth, just like there’s still not very many 5G mmWave phones available.

It could go either way. Bluetooth 6 might be more familiar for manufacturers to implement, but if the hardware is different to support the accuracy, who knows?

They don’t have to be connected to see your device. Just like how Find My Device works by searching for the Bluetooth signal. You’d need to have Bluetooth completely off, so no smart watches or headphones for you in the grocery store I guess.

I think you’re completely misunderstanding what I’m trying to say. The hobbies ARE the side projects. They don’t have to be the same as your job.

I don’t see the problem… having side projects will improve your chances at MANY jobs, and even applying for university if they’re related to your field. Even if you have no time at all, if you’re genuinely passionate about technology, I’d expect you to at least have aspirational goals for things on the side. A side project does not have to be finished or maintained to show “passion”.

The entertainment company doesn’t want to hire boring 9-5 drones just in it for the paycheck. Big surprise. They’re allowed to be selective.
