Maybe if it was designed to look like a book or something, you could argue it has legitimate uses for home surveillance. But towel hooks are almost exclusively found in bathrooms.

Now, maybe I'm making assumptions here, but I don't think most people keep valuables in their bathrooms, so that leaves exactly one use case this could have, and it's not home protection.

What if you just told it to exit on n = -1? If it only increments n, it should also go on forever (or, hell, just try a really big number for n)

These look very similar, although the listing is a bit vague on the specifics.

Could you post a picture of one of the bulbs? It would definitely help narrow things down

Are you asking this in a theoretical, "just for fun" sort of way? If so, any OS that is too old to support USB would be resistant, such as AmigaOS. Otherwise, there really isn't anything you can do to protect against those types of devices short of completely disabling USB altogether.

If you still use Amazon, get the CamelCamelCamel addon. It shows you a graph of how the price of an item has changed, so you can see if a sale is really a discount of just one of these fake "sales".

Possibly. It's impossible to know how they keep track of who to roll it out to. It could be IP-based, or they could put a cookie on your browser that could stick around even after you log out.

It completely depends on the specific video file. HEVC and AV1 are more efficient in general, but most of their benefits become apparent with 4K video, which they were specifically designed to be better at handling than AVC. It also depends on your phone's software and hardware, as it might not be fast enough to encode in real-time with higher compression settings (and you don't get to use things like 2-pass encoding which can drastically lower bitrate without sacrificing visual quality).

I'm currently in engineering undergrad and this looks like it'll be a lifesaver. Wolfram Alpha can do some pretty good work with units sometimes. But a lot of the time it'll do weird stuff like refuse to interpret "V" as "volt", so you have to type out the full name of every single unit. This language should handle that a million times better.

It's funny cause according to the PokeDex, Groudon is only like... 11 feet tall

I would look for a dongle that specifically markets itself as being Raspberry Pi compatible. Most stuff you find will prioritize Windows, but if it's marketed to work with the Pi you know it'll have at least some level of Linux compatibility. Once you find one, try to figure out what chipset it uses, then search if it's supported by a handful of the distros you wanna try.

Well, isn't that a given? If we could attribute them to specific foreign activity, then they wouldn't be unidentified anymore, would they?

How long did you wait for it to forward? Dread has been under DDOS siege for years straight, so they have to implement just about the most restrictive mitigation measures possible. These unfortunately mean long wait times.

How many tabs do you have open? I have quite a few and it can cause battery to drop a lot. It also occasionally starts using a lot of battery in the background for no apparent reason, which is fixed by just force-quitting the app.

It could also just be that Firefox is inherently more energy intensive than a Lemmy client. Browsers have to handle a lot of stuff to render web pages, while clients for sites just have to send some API calls. I might try using another browser for a few days and see if the battery usage is comparable to Firefox.

I feel like it's worth noting that the baking soda + lemon juice probably doesn't work as well as just lemon juice alone. By mixing an acid and a base, you're neutralizing one of them and leaving yourself with just a smaller concentration of the other.

I see this misconception all the time, but it's particularly bad when people say to mix baking soda and vinegar to clean with. We've all made baking soda volcanoes, right...? I wouldn't wanna clean with something that behaves like diet coke and mentos, not to mention the fact that it's literally just not as effective as either chemical alone.

Looks like they're federated again, as of the update 10 minutes ago.

Pretty stupid move on Bethesda's part, since they're well aware of how mods are the only reason their ancient games still get so much attention. Hell, if it wasn't for the Unofficial Patches, many of their games would be unplayable.

I love blatant racism on my funny meme page.

I think it's just that software to edit video streams is inherently more complicated than editing images. Although the metadata shouldn't be encoded into the streams, so maybe it's just a case of no one has gotten around to making such a program yet.
