Is it a nitpick to say since the posse comitatus mentions the army and air force, but not the navy, it doesn't apply to the marines? I have no clue, I just know the US are very literal with their laws.

I've used Zotify. It downloads from Spotify directly in .ogg format. It fails a bit here and there, so requires you to watch that everything actually downloaded, but it beats any random YouTube quality video other programs would find otherwise.

I've never done it, but I wonder if turning on the rear fog lights would work. You're not braking, but they might think you are. I don't know what the legality of that would be

The browser can't do push to talk though, right?

Buy videos are just a series of pictures. How do we sort this out...

100% with you. "Left to right" as far as I can tell only exists to make otherwise "unsolvable" problems a kind of official solution. I personally feel like it is a bodge, and I would rather the correct solution for such a problem to be undefined.

I fully agree that if it comes down to "left to right" the problem really needs to be rewritten to be more clear. But I've just shown why that "rule" is a common part of these meme problems because it is so weird and quite esoteric.

Except it does matter. I left some examples for another post with multiplication and division, I'll give you some addition and subtraction to see order matter with those operations as well.

Let's take:
1 + 2 - 3 + 4

Addition first:
(1 + 2) - (3 + 4)
3 - 7 = -4

Subtraction first:
1 + (2 - 3) + 4
1 + (-1) + 4 = 4

Right to left:
1 + (2 - (3 + 4))
1 + (2 - 7)
1 + (-5) = -4

Left to right:
((1 + 2) - 3) + 4
(3 - 3) + 4 = 4

Edit: You can argue that, for example, the addition first could be (1 + 2) + (-3 + 4) in which case it does end up as 4, but in my opinion that's another ambiguous case.

So let's try out some different prioritization systems.

Left to right:

    
(((6 * 4) / 2) * 3) / 9
((24 / 2) * 3) / 9
(12 * 3) / 9
36 / 9 = 4

  

Right to left:

    
6 * (4 / (2 * (3 / 9)))  
6 * (4 / (2 * 0.333...))  
6 * (4 / 0.666...)  
6 * 6 = 36

  

Multiplication first:

    
(6 * 4) / (2 * 3) / 9  
24 / 6 / 9


  

Here the path divides again, we can do the left division or right division first.

    
Left first: 
(24 / 6) / 9  
4 / 9 = 0.444...

Right side first:  
24 / (6 / 9)  
24 / 0.666... = 36

  

And finally division first:

    
6 * (4 / 2) * (3 / 9)  
6 * 2 * 0.333...  
12 * 0.333.. = 4 
 
  

It's ambiguous which one of these is correct. Hence the best method we have for "correct" is left to right.

Mm, that is unfortunate! I personally keep a Windows install around for VR as well, nothing on Linux runs the Quest 3 quite as well as Virtual Desktop.

The issue normally with these "trick" questions is the ambiguous nature of that division sign (not so much a problem here) or people not knowing to just go left to right when all operators are of the same priority. A common mistake is to think division is prioritised above multiplication, when it actually has the same priority. Someone should have included some parenthesis in PEDMAS aka. PE(DM)(AS) 😄

The only problem with Nvidia is the lack Broadcast and Shadowplay. Not having their noise cancelling is unfortunate, but OBS can replace shadowplay. I know some people seem to have issues with Nvidia on Linux, but I believe they are a pretty small minority.

Says the person who most likely isn't sharing a bed room with 20 other people, in the same building as the factory. Yes, the world is shit, but don't kid yourself if you got time to whine on the internet you're an actual slave.

Denuvo will revoke your licence to play a game if it thinks you've installed the game on computers with different hardware. Issue is it gets confused by changing the proton version that runs the game, thinking it's a new install on a new computer, and so quickly bans you from playing the game.

Or Linux 😄 I really liked Game Pass though. Played some great games in there I would either have completely missed or have had to wait years for them to be discounted.

I will just regurgitate what I've heard. I think they are used in case power goes out and you have a generator. You need to disconnect from the power grid first, but it should then allow you to power tour house with the generator. It sounds more like a US thing.

In addition to what others have said, you can search for "thinn blue line" for more info on it. Basically meant to be on support of the kind of cops that killed George Floyed.

Philosophy Tube has a great video about this topic https://youtu.be/rLfzO7Sbdc4. At 27:20 she starts talking about who's life is worth grieving and who's is not, and how this is a government level topic. It hits the nail on the head about the differences in reporting two different people's deaths can have. At 33:45 they specifically talk about the 2008 Gaza war.

You don't have to be so very exasperated about it :( /s
