Not a bad idea on paper. The games are not actually on Netflix. You just download an alternate version of the app (with no DLC or iAP), and login to your Netflix account to access the game. Some solid indie games on there.
That said, I would never in my life pay for Netflix, but my family has it, so ya know, free mobile games when I'm bored.
I don't really mind them all that much. The communities are easily blocked if you don't like the particular type of content.
Despite the general cesspool that Reddit has become, it still has some good content within many of the smaller subs that are less affected by bots and politics. If I can get some of that content without giving Reddit an ounce of traffic, it's fine by me.
That said, I'm also the type of Lemmy user who frequently scrolls through every post and runs out of new posts. My app marks every post as "read" when I scroll past it and often I clear the whole "top today" list. I don't read every post though. Anyways, I appreciate any way to get more context on Lemmy.
It's nothing dystopian like you think. Basically just a variation on camera sensors:
[...] bio-inspired cameras that capture the world more like the human eye does. These are called dynamic vision sensors, and they work like motion detectors for each pixel. They only “wake up” and send information when something changes in the scene, rather than constantly streaming data like a regular camera.
These bio-inspired cameras are also highly energy efficient, using less than 1% of the power of normal cameras.
That seems pretty reasonable to me. Main account and two accounts to share. With just friends and family, I doubt most people will reach the 100 device limit.
TL;DR from Wikipedia: In photon upconversion, two or more incident photons of relatively low energy are absorbed and converted into one emitted photon with higher energy.
Basically photons are combined into a photon that is nearer in wavelength to visible light.
I'd wager this wasn't one of their first tests (and maybe not even a test at all). Looks to me like an advertisement/publicity stunt/demonstration.
I could be easily wrong since I haven't researched this exact event, but I think it's safe to assume it's more than just a test since they have cameras out.
Yup. Best solution I've heard of for stuff like this out climbing in the drier is to scare the ever living daylight out of them (without doing any actual harm).
In this scenario, I would "trap" their arm with something like a notebook, make a loud racket in the fridge, and maybe even shake the door a bunch.
For something like a clothes drier, I would slap the machine a lot and shake it all about.
Basically, scare them enough that they lose all desire to do it again. Sucks to have to do it, but it's not like you can sit them down and have a chat about the dangers of machines....
I'll give it a look. I'm still in the early stages of the project, so it'll be a bit before I get to the point where I work on the database side of things.
