I live in a big city in the US and the best internet option I have is 1Gb through Verizon, and my apartment complex is making a deal with Comcast so that’s going to go away leaving only 100Mb. I have a homelab setup which is why I was willing to pay more for the 1Gb.

I have a metal Apple Watch band that has started filing away the edge on one side of my MacBook just by accident.

To be fair sometimes if you update Linux too sparingly it results in conflicts. Of course the likelihood of that happening depends on the distro. Also the vast majority of Linux updates don’t require a reboot.

Signal already has that setting. It’s up to the user to decide their level of convenience vs security.

Natural disaster -> no longer can access everything you have online, including bank and insurance accounts, at precisely the time you most don’t want to deal with that.

How is Windows less corporate than MacOS or ChromeOS?

There are specular highlights on the eyes in the original, they are just much more subdued.

It also seems to change the lighting on faces as if they are lit by a studio ring light.

Also in their #1 demo image it changes the girls hair so it’s brown hair bleached leaving a highlight pattern instead of 100% white.

Use AI to do cool stuff instead of trying to automate the soul out of artwork.

I also work in tech btw.

Implement an SOC on the FPGA and boot away!

It’s the same price and similar specs to current Chromebook models, which is what I think they are trying to compete against.

Some anti cheat either didn’t work well with Linux or is specifically intended to be incompatible with Linux.

You can’t turn pure heat into useful energy. Thermoelectric generators tap into the transfer of heat between a hot reservoir and a cold reservoir.

I should try it on anime. I was using it on phone videos.

I ran a comparison between libsvtav1 and h264 and h265 and found that libsvtav kinda sucks.

It does produce smaller file sizes at h265, but it tends to add a visible blur.

Compress video to a broadly compatible format:

ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 25 -preset slow -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

This incantation is what I end up needing 99% of the time I do something with ffmpeg.

YouTube and windows movie maker are almost certainly using ffmpeg.

My locally hosted Qwen3 30b said “Walk” including this awesome line:

Why you might hesitate (and why it’s wrong):

• X “But it’s a car wash!” -> No, the car doesn’t need to drive there—you do.

Note that I just asked the Ollama app, I didn’t alter or remove the default system prompt nor did I force it to answer in a specific format like in the article.

EDIT: after playing with it a bit more, qwen3:30b sometimes gives the correct answer for the correct reasoning, but it’s pretty rare and nothing I’ve tried has made it more consistent.

It’s also not as stable as they market it to be
