The AI tools are honestly so useful though…

Y’all left y’uns out of the map

Install a 3rd party launcher if you want to get rid of those too

Make sure you dry your steak extremely well, and then basically shallow fry it in a cast iron or other heavy pan. Don’t need to deep fry it, but if you really want it as crispy, you want a real layer of oil.

One strength of sous vide is you can get even normal steaks much more tender than otherwise possible, just by extending your sous vide time up to two or three hours.

Mine also mops, refills the mop water and soap, washes it’s own mop, and drains the dirty water down the drain.

I did recently discover you can turn off “Web and App Activity” for your Google account, which seems to disable Google saving most of your data (searches, viewed places, etc), for what that’s worth. It definitely cripples Google maps even more than I think it should, since now I can’t even search for labels I’ve added to Google maps myself.

I’ve been meaning to try Organic Maps as well, but haven’t even gotten around to installing it yet.

1. Android has motion photos, which i think is on by default and is more or less the same as live photos.
2. This is just a coincidence, I know Apple maps is good these days, but just the other day my friend was using Apple maps to guide us and it hallucinated a restaurant wholesale. Like, this location for this restaurant has never existed as far as we can tell.

… Silk is used as a cold weather baselayer in active wear? Not sure if it performs differently as an outer layer, but it’s got solid insulating properties for keeping in heat

Look up how HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) works. They just need to generate a personalized playlist for each person which points at things already hosted on CDN, and insert the ads where they want in the literal text file that your video player reads from to serve you the video.

I don’t know much about it, but it looks like there’s specific tags designed for dynamic ad insertion. Idk if YouTube plans to use them in this case though, if they want it to be undetectable to the client.

I don’t think it would be totally unfair for people to feel less than fully represented by someone who doesn’t look like them, even if they’re a legitimate historical figure. He’s also not a native historically either. Japan in particular does have a lot of racist tendencies, as far as who’s considered Japanese, to add to the issue.

I tried to be upfront with the fact that I know nothing real about the game. If he’s the main protagonist, I could see that being a thing. If he’s just a character in the cast, then no, that wouldn’t be particularly sensible.

I’ll admit to not following the news on this one, but would it be that surprising that Japanese gamers were hoping to feel personally represented in the game?

I really don’t get why automotive electronics makers are allergic to having a proper UX team, other than no one else in the industry has one either so it’s not a competitive disadvantage.

Is there anyone selling high quality dumb TV’s though?

This is actually a major reason I’m glad to work in software. The culture in the industry usually tends not to care about specific working hours as much, as long as you’re around consistently and do good work.

Having been to a total eclipse before, it’s really extremely obvious when it’s time and when it’s no longer time. It’s very different from partial eclipses. You can easily feel the sudden lack of actual sunlight.

Edit: adding on, I’m pretty sure if you keep the glasses on during the actual eclipse you’ll see almost nothing, because the outer fringes of the sun still exposed aren’t bright enough to show through those lenses.

It’s hard to decide any causation for me personally, but my fitness tends to at least correlate positively with my mental health.

Backblaze personal is $9 a month or $99 a year for unlimited backup. The first result on Amazon for a 4tb HDD is $85. Building a NAS costs the same as 2.5 years of this cloud backup for the drives alone, and doesn’t actually give you a backup at all. The costs scale even more poorly if you need to store more than your 8tb.

I work in industry with MediaTek chips. We basically have to reverse engineer them to get anything done, because they refuse to give us anything, and what they do give us doesn’t work.

The main problem with a mini PC is a lot of streaming services won’t serve you 4k content. Not an issue if you get your content from other sources though.
