I will always downvote articles with “slams” in the title. It is undoubtedly low effort clickbait. …unless someone actually gets a door slammed in their face.

Revanced still works but it’s a cat and mouse game. Sometimes it will stop working but the next day someone will have found a workaround. Bit of a hassle to patch the new APK each time.

There is no one-size-fits-all architecture. Microservices are fine, but probably not for you.

Well damn. TIL, I’m confused and gay

I thought it was libvlc that covers that but no, it is indeed libavcodec which is part of the ffmpeg project. Does anyone here know the relationship between libvlc and libavcodec?

I’ve never felt silicon degradation on a CPU. But I can say that I’ve had a GPU with a stable overclock for years that started getting a bit flakey and I had to go back to stock settings. Of course for GPUs there are also more frequent driver updates. Maybe that effect was due to the driver and games also trying to squeeze more out of the hardware.

Piracy is not a real solution to the problem. Microsoft allows these sorts of things to exist in the background because they would rather lose out on some sales than lose market share.

I have the paid version, I’m on a 109 day streak, and the stupid bird still looks like that. Must be a bug

Has anyone here been in a situation where they thought “man, 4g sure is slow. Hope they roll out 5g soon”? I guess they need a feature to put on the box, otherwise people might think their current phone is good enough.

Good thing you’ve got so many upgrade options on AM4

Mom: “We have Linux at home”

Linux at home: Google™ Linux

The team at Microsoft that was working on it probably got put on different projects. There wouldn’t be anyone to put in the effort to get the code cleaned up of any proprietary libraries, internal references,… No way they are shifting people back around and paying for development to get this done.

Windows 11 isn’t bad. But it’s a sidegrade from 10. For example, I have an ultrawide HDR display and 11 is a must for HDR. But the damn start bar can’t move to the left anymore which is super annoying on an ultrawide.

That’s just a CPU with extra steps

IP rights is not a problem that needs solving. In fact, the existing legal system has ways of punishing copyright violations whereas the Blockchain does not.

Supply chain validation is also an example of the block chain “in action”. But the people that are entering the data on the Blockchain are the same people that were typing it in an email yesterday.

I used to be a fan of the technology as well but so far it hasn’t show itself to be useful. A solution in search of a problem.

Even the article acknowledges that “The city-state has excellent public transport links by bus and subway”. Clearly the city realizes they are running out of space and want to prioritize people over cars. The remark at the end - " your own family comes first" - just ends up sounding selfish and anti-social.

It does suck that it caters to the rich rather than the needy but taxation is just how you deincentivise certain behaviors in a capitalist society. Hopefully Singapore counters this with subsidized special transport for the handicapped and elderly.

100% compostable

If it’s Android tv then yes, there is a VLC version for that.

If by expensive version you mean the original Italian gianduja spread. The Ferrero version is overly sweet and tasteless in comparison.

Yeah I was about to post the same. I actually modified my old printer (sparkmaker) to be my curing box. To solve the turning issue I put the LED panel upright by strapping it to the Z linear rail, chopped short the Z lead-screw and attached a lazy Suzan to that screw.
