Absolutely hilarious but technocally the term is correct as we have 1 natural satellite.

Fantastic Fist - €12.49

Fantastic Fist is a platforming game focused on simultaneous keyboard and mouse controls. While the character can be moved around with the keyboard, the mouse can be used to interact with the environment by punching with a giant fist.

A puzzle platformer with tight controls and true pixel art, much like Celeste. Makes very good use of the controls available on a PC. Low system requirements (100 MB storage). Solo dev spent years perfecting the gameplay.

I don’t play platformers but I’d like to support the dev (not affiliated). I will gift it to you on Steam if you’re the first to ask for it via DM CLAIMED. As for games I have played, I enjoy little itch.io VNs by npckc, I just wish my devices were fast enough to run Ren’Py decently…

Wait, the French pronounce ChatGPT as “shat-zhé-pé-té” and not “chat-gee-pee-tee”? I guess they had it coming.

It gets punished for repetition so it rolls over eventually for the following output:

The website title says “Arm Developer”, not “ARM Developer”, in a clearly non-acronym way so it’s a guide for making prosthetic hardware. Of course you want a cyborg arm to parse JS natively, why else even get one?

That’s why “availability” is a core tenet of security (according to some cybersecurity course I took). It is easy to prevent unauthorized access to data if you have no requirements on authorized access.

Formatting

Many text parsers trim down whitespace unless it’s explicitly a code block. You see this often when people attempt to use interleaved spaces for emphasis. For example:

R E D   H A T

becomes “R E D H A T” in your Markdown interpreter.

I think WhatsApp supports code snippets with backticks.

Looks, not sounds. Ahoj!

x265 playback is more demanding than x264 playback

By a factor of 2 with the same bitrate. But you only need half the bitrate for the same quality (SNR) so it really isn’t.

However, encoding is about 10x more demanding in terms of bitrate, or 5x for the same quality. This may be worth it for long-term storage or wide distribution over limited bandwidth (torrenting), but not for one-time personal use.

signal theft

Who did they steal signal from?

“Smart”watch app:

(Dial Settings)

Edit: It was actually called “Nastavení vytáčení” (Dialing Settings) in Czech, the closest German word is “Herausdrehung” but the correct translation is “Telefonnummerwählen” or something

I know, I’m an electrical hobbyist. Most 10mΩ resistors (no space because it’s an adjective) are SMD because leads would introduce significant resistance that changes when bending. Unless the wire is the shunt, of course. They have large pads and are thick to accommodate the current and power dissipation because their main use is measuring current in the order of A.

Meanwhile, 10MΩ ones are usually THT and normal size, the occasional ones rated for multiple kilovolts or spikes of even higher voltage are longer to prevent arcing.

Makes sense. I don’t think latency is a great issue when transferring large files, I would be more concerned about packet drop. (Unless latency is part of the reason the tracker thinks I’m too slow to bother requesting data from, which would explain why American-based trackers barely let me seed but local ones work great.) The overhead of TCP torrenting is about 3-4 % for me, and even if an IPv6 tunnel increases that to say 25 %, I will be able to use 80 % of my upload bandwidth for seeding, assuming IPv6 allows me to reach enough peers to request 1.6 Mb/s from me, which would be much higher than the current <1 %. My logic was that I could reach people that don’t have a publically reachable IPv4 port but an IPv6 one (because of IPv4 exhaustion of course), but now I understand that this is way less of an impact than I thought.

When inconsequential, capitalization gets messed up all the time, and the mistakes are overlooked: everyone understands that a weight labeled “10 KG” has a mass of 10 kg, but it’s better to get used to good practice for when it does matter. Thankfully, the “M/m” mistake of 9 orders of magnitude is usually caught by humans before it gets out of hand: you wouldn’t order 1 mm³ of wood instead of 1 m³. Very few quantities span 9+ orders of magnitude, for instance 10mΩ and 10MΩ resistors exist quite commonly, and you can imagine one being mistaken for the other with people copying each other’s handwritten component list. However, I’d bet that the bit/byte dichotomy confuses hundreds of people every day so we better make that clear by not breaking rules.

BTW, the word is “megavolts”, not “MegaVolts” or any other capitalization, similarly “byte” is correct unless at the start of a sentence, with title case, or in German, and perhaps in words like “MByte”, which I discourage in favor of the full form or complete abbreviation.

It’s supposed to say “Mbit” or “Mb”. Capital B infers bytes. Incorrect capitalization is one of the most common mistakes when using the metric system. It may be popular but it becomes a problem when 1 B = 8 b, or when 1 MJ = 10⁹ mJ. By the way, common ad-hoc abbreviations like “kbps” as opposed to “kb/s” or “PSI” instead of “lbf/in²” also grind my gears, luckily most such mistakes only occur in imperial units.

Byte is the 8x bigger one – longer word – capital B (but the word, unless shortened, is “byte”, not “Byte”),
bit is the 8x smaller one – shorter word – lowercase b.
There is a roughly 0.8% difference per order of magnitude between 1024-based binary prefixes (ki=kibi, Mi=mebi, Gi=gibi, often incorrectly written as k, M, G) and 1000-based metric prefixes (k=kilo, M=mega, G=giga) but these ballpark numbers are not affected.

Anyway, do you think it’s worth trying in terms of security against threats and law enforcement, or should I use a VPN on top?

Please don’t say “MBit”, it makes my eyes hurt.

My internet plan tops out at 2 Mb/s upload so that wouldn’t nearly fill such a public tunnel broker’s bandwidth, and I would be glad for even half that, but right now I seed 500 GB of reasonably popular movie packs and the long-term average upload is a few kilobits per second, not worth spinning up the 10W HDD motor for. Yes, I expect some overhead with tunneling but not three orders of magnitude, and I need at least 100 kb/s to get a good ratio on those movie packs.

They are transitioning to their .com domain, whose only bonus, other than the wait time and ads, is serving files directly rather than zipped. They could offer this feature on the original .org site with no downsides (the traffic won’t increase because 99% of devices will support gzip on the application layer anyway) but I wonder why they don’t.

They are also used as parking ticket machines (in Europe we don’t have parking meters, you buy a ticket and display it on the dashboard, or in some places get a virtual ticket for your license plate). I don’t think the company exports these outside the Czech Republic, and Euro coins are not magnetic. So I’m afraid you’ll have to find another magnet-related exploit (maybe this)?

Here is a datasheet of one / photo. I don’t have the video of me fishing coins, I probably deleted it because it was unwatchable (it’s hard to fish coins while filming covertly!) but about 5 coins fit into the space behind the keyhole before they start being visible. The front panel is non-magnetic, unlike CZK coins, and the sound of fishing them out is very similar to throwing them in, so there is little suspicion unless you are at the wrong-gender toilet. Unfortunately, 10 CZK coins take effort to jam into the slot, so almost only coins up to 5 CZK ($0.25) get accidentally thrown in. Still, pays for my bus home.

A common public toilet till machine has a keyhole that looks like a coin slot. Turns out, HDD magnets are the perfect shape to fish out any coins mistakenly thrown in there.

Yet they say “Easter Eggs”, referring to a Pagan tradition. As hypocritical as it gets.

Mining for fossil fuels can still go quite deep, unfortunately, at least in some parts of the world. The difficult part is getting everyone to stop before the atmosphere is ruined from their combustion.

Several interconnected PS3s inside, running Linux.

They have no third-party clients either, which I assume is to prevent piracy (which will happen anyway). For me, it has the opposite effect – I would pay if they enabled downloads. Now I just freeload the non-exclusive content off YouTube.

Is there a r/FuckAlegriaArt-like community on the Fediverse?
Fuck this shit.

I was considering Nebula – many of my subscriptions are there – but I need downloading (I am currently using NewPipe for that) and they have also had some anti-anti-Zionist tendencies.

They grew thanks to the open internet where everyone let them scrape their website’s content. They can’t let anyone do that again.

Not all of them. I’ve seen the mess of shorted bridge rectifiers, burning LEDs, IC packages cracked from heat…

Advanced calculators (both physical ans virtual) have DEC/BIN/OCT/HEX buttons so there is some truth to this abbreviation.

Sensor wear

This does not happen AFAIK. Most phones have no shutters so tge sensors receive light all the time, and the little required power does not overheat it.

mechanical parts (if any)

This is a valid point but the actuators in a phone camera’s focusing mechanism are more like a speaker than a motor. They can last for ages, and many apps allow disabling autofocus when idle.

heat

This one is valid. Even basic image processing is a load on the CPU, and recording/streaming definitely is. Depends on how the camera is mounted to allow airflow.

gamble and see how long it lasts

Sure. The stakes are not very high if the phone would otherwise lay in a drawer.

I don’t know (as in I have zero clue) the camera is designed to operate that way.

There is no reason a camera cannot be on all the time other than power consumption. Why couldn’t it? The only limitation is software. Other parts of a phone can overheat from continuous operation (CPU et al., voltage converters, maybe flash LED and vibration motor) but not the camera.

The camera is on all the time, the recording/streaming only starts when requested or on motion detection. Did you expect a PIR sensor on a phone?

I used to listen to the radio and record songs on my feature phone (mono 16k 4bit samples/s).

Now !kulturgut@feddit.de and downloading using NewPipe (I don’t care about quality).

I see two possible scenarios why Windows Hello seems to require Edge:

1. It is indeed dependent on MS Edge WebView, which is a dumb dependency to have for a security feature, especially as historical precedent (the 1990s antitrust lawsuit) and recent EU rulings suggest that Edge should be optional
2. System “tampering” (user taking back their rights) was detected, which disabled the feature.

I hope number 2 is the case. It suggests mistreatment of users, sure, but that could perhaps be patched out by a Powershell script.
On the other hand, if Windows Hello really needs a proprietary HTML renderer, this is a potential weak point in security and disregard of security in attempts to intertwine Microsoft products.

I mean, the fingerprint sensor is likely internally connected via USB (most webcams are) so it could be external for all it knows. Or on the side of the laptop.

The dumb thing about Windows fingerprint login is how many clicks are required to switch to a password/PIN input. Why can’t I just start typing like on the Windows 8 start screen, dammit?!
Also, it stopped working when I uninstalled Edge?! (The dodgy webcam login too.)

I have only ever downloaded a 720p HDR file once. They are indeed rare.

Yup, this image with a git blame reference is available too but I preferred the Scooby Doo one.
