Yep, you’re 100% right. Not sure why I thought it was high friction. I feel like I confused trying to put an icon for an image on my home screen (gym app’s sign in QR code) with sending a web page to the home screen.

If phone OSes made it so there’s less friction to save a web page as an icon on your desktop it would help to resolve that issue I think.

IIRC that era of iPods had issues with their preamps. I remember when I switched from a Nano to a classic that there was noticeable clipping and other distortion where there wasn’t before. I would have returned it but I had already sold my Nano…

I’d argue you’ve got that backwards; CD is to vinyl what lossless is to .mp3. That said, I know what you mean.

I had a VeePeak one for a while. It was excellent. Everyone should have one, honestly.

Whay did they report on again? Haven’t heard that name in a while.

That makes perfect sense to me on paper. It still makes my head spin thinking about though lol

This is exactly what I am curious about. I’m fully aware of the mountain of assumptions needed to make this work lol. I guess its the “its ~-200°C out here but I’m not frozen” thing that makes my head spin a bit.

So even though its minus hundreds of degrees, your skin wouldn’t freeze instantly on your dark side in this situation?

Then by default it should never be considered safe. Honestly, this “open” release… it makes me wonder about ulterior motives.

Has anyone actually analyzed the source code thoroughly yet? I’ve seen a ton of reporting on its open source nature but nothing about the detailed nature of the source.

FOSS only = safe if the code has been audited in depth.

Won’t they essentially be dead ~2038?

Particle Fever is one of my favourite docs of all time.

I’ll never buy from them again. #fuckai

I don’t think so. Things seem to be leaning more toward the “stuff spontaneously comes from nothing” end of the spectrum as far as I know. Pre-universe causality makes no sense if our understanding of the universe’s origin is true. I’m personally OK with accepting that things don’t necessarily happen for a reason.

Kinda sounds like it would be the same kind of thing that brought forth the whole “alpha male” thing.

Abuse.

Duuuuuude. This is a blast from the past. I had a Pizza Hut PS1 cd with a bunch of demos on it and Sled Storm was one of them. It has such a great physics feel for back then. I loved that game.

Best thing to do to make sure you enjoy playing the instrument is to take it to your local guitar shop for a setup. If it’s not set up well it takes much more pressure to fret the notes cleanly and it can be painful both on your finger tips and the muscles in your hand.

Get a setup so its comfortable to play and you’ll be able to play much longer.

AFAIK the IPs used by VPN providers are getting flagged and blocked by certain sites in an attempt to force you off of the VPN so they can suck up your data. I’m sure there are other reasons too.
