Yes, given the comment about averaging with the neighbours green will be overrepresented in the average. An additional (smaller) factor is that the colour filters aren’t perfect, and green in particular often has some signficant sensitivity to wavelengths that the red and blue colour filters are meant to pick up.

edit: One other factor I forgot, green photosites are often more sensitive than the red and blue photosites.

My question is “Why?” Pretty much everything on Spotify is already available elsewhere in FLAC format good for archiving rather than Spotify’s bad lossy compression.

Pretty much, I’ve been working on reducing my dependence on big tech companies by self hosting or using open source where possible. While impossible to do fully, at least if I lose an account things are either backed up or I’m only losing a small amount of my data.

Agreed, no matter what comes out Trackmania is the game that has me coming back day after day.

I’d love Jellyfin if not for their incredibly infuriating seek behaviour. Why do I have to press play to start the video again?

To be fair, I’ve had updates break my DE on Linux too. It’s one of the reasons why I no longer use Fedora.

If Windows overwrites your EFI partition then you won’t be able to boot into grub. It absolutely happens, I’ve had it happen with my main computer within the past year.

Windows generally works fine alongside Linux, but then randomly one day you could log on and it boots straight into Windows and to fix it you need to learn the “fun” task of fixing your system with arch-chroot.

Xbox controllers can be a bit unreliable on Linux in my experience. I’ve got an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C wireless that I quite like. They are way cheaper than an Xbox controller, have hall effect joysticks, and low measured latency.

A cell’s voltage will change with how much energy it stores, but if you keep applying current to force more charge to move you can cause voltages to be quite far outside of the proper range. However you don’t want to do this as at minimum you are damaging the materials in the cell, or worse, cause a significant safety hazard where the cell could catch on fire.

You can look at the Discharge Curve of a cell which compares voltage vs capacity, as a rule of thumb, essentially the steeper the curve changes, the more damage you are doing to the cell by operating in the range.

Something is off with the link’s measurements. 3.7V is a li-ion cell’s nominal voltage, not its lower limit. Typical operating range is 3.0V - 4.2V. No battery chemistry I’m familiar with would have a lower cutoff as high as 3.7V.

Not an iOS user and it certainly seems like something they would be behind on, but with Android every password manager with a Android app will work since the hooks are built directly into Android. Other than websites and apps that don’t implement passwords properly it works pretty well.

I hate how many places don’t allow for + aliases. I want to know who leaked my email.

What you call 0% or 100% on a battery is an arbitrary number anyway. Absolutely never do this for safety reasons, but back when I worked for a battery lab I did experiments where I discharged cells to below 0V.

I bought a new phone a couple months ago and on the first setup it installed their app. Then when I traveled soon after the eSim I was using installed something else when I connected to that network.

Is this even a thing you can avoid anymore? You connect to the network with their SIM installed and it immediately downloads the apps they say you need.

Why would you delete a flagship? More choice and competition is always better, though these products are just way too similar, the industry needs more differentiation.

This is actually an interesting point I hadn’t thought about or see people considering with regards to the high investment cost into AI LLMs. Who blinks first when it comes to stopping investment into these systems if they don’t prove to be commercially viable (or viable quick enough)? What happens to the West if China holds out for longer and is successful?

Lots of people will, I’ve had the discussion with multiple people bemoaning that that will have to upgrade because their computer isn’t compatible who. Have zero interest in learning a new OS. Heck my father has a laptop good enough for everything he does already and was talking about upgrading his desktop because it isn’t compatible.

Apple TV isn’t compatible with some of the services that I use so h That isn’t an option either.
