I mean, if you're worried about Google doing something like that, they could just as easily manufacture statements by you with enough supporting evidence to screw you no matter what you say.

The owner of the lemmy instance you are on, can sign in as you and leave comments all over the place and hide them from your view and manufacture the logs to look like it was posted from your IP address.

You can plug a mouse into a steam deck, dork.

What do ads have to do with anything? I use vr to play video games.

This isn't exactly true. Plastic is all different types of things and there is no one melting point, for example PLA (poly lactic acid) which is commonly used for things like disposable drink lids has a glass transition temperature of 60c (140f). Abs (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) has a glass transition temperature of 105c (221f).

While the full melting point for these two polymers is higher than the glass transition, at those temps, your straw will start turning into a nice wet noodle.

The melting point isn't helpful here because it defines the point at which the object turns into liquid, not the point where it deforms or gets damaged.

This is a real thing, they are called operators and it is their job to oversee the cell, start and stop jobs, resolve bottlenecks, identify upstream problems and gracefully handle them, and emergency stop the system when needed.

I think it's because of touchscreens since that behavior on a touchscreen more accurately emulates physically manipulating the items in the screen.

I think trackpads emulating a mouse should be considered a poor implementation, a trackpad is different than a mouse and we should utilize that with the design. A trackpad is best imo when combined with gestures, almost as a hybrid between a typical touchscreen and mouse. For example pinching motions, two/three finger tapping, two handed use, etc are all options for a trackpad that don't work (or work poorly) on a mouse.

As far as I know, the pi4 cannot output 10-bit 4k hdr or Dolby vision, which makes it basically a non-starter as a media box.

I also think it struggles with h.264 high bitrate content.

I'm not doubting you, but like, what r&d firm is gonna go, welp, this $50 core charge is too much for us, guess we won't do it.

I mostly wear Crocs now and it is crazy how much better my feet feel.

No more ingrown nails or toe cramps.

This cracks me up because it is often said with such confidence, but it is just wrong.

If you have 10 people, 8 have an intelligence score of 1, 1 has a score of 5 and 1 has a score of 10. The average is 2.3 which means that 80% of the people are below average.

The median is the only thing that is going to guarantee 50%.

USB 3 actually has flaws that make some devices functionally useless with USB 3 devices around.

USB 3 notoriously emits noise in the 2.4ghz radio spectrum, requiring extra precautions and development cost in order to reduce the effect.

This is often why 2.4ghz mouse and keyboards specifically require USB 2.0 connections.

I'm not saying that's why Apple did it, but it isn't a solved problem in the least and USB isn't just a no-thought upgrade.

When I went through the immigration process with my spouse we were asked to provide Bank statements, Affidavits from friends, coworkers, peers, and family, Photographs (including being interrogated about who was in the photos), Perform separated interviews where personal questions were asked and then cross verified (what side of the bed do you sleep on, what color is her toothbrush, what are some shows or movies you watch together, etc), We were notified that we may be surveilled, to verify that we spend time together (don't know if it actually happened or not) My spouse had to have a full biometric physical performed and the result given to USCIS, Medical history, And about 100 pages of forms where you are required to disclose all affiliations with any groups you may have, political affiliations, etc.

Granted this is for permanent residency, not a visa, but the level of information you are required to divulge to USCIS is astronomical.

It's been many years thankfully since I have had to do anything for USCIS, but it would not surprise me if they already ask you for social media information, and regardless of if they ask you, they are definitely finding everything they can about you.

The kicker is that everything is discretionary, so it doesn't matter what they ask, since they can just say no if they feel like it anyway.

It's likely lower volume too, so the cost in switching brings a higher opportunity/downtime cost on smaller runs.

Amiunique is a good one that demonstrates how just with the specs of the device you are using (os, browser, screen size, browser version, user agent, color pallette, js engine, language, keyboard type, etc) you can create a totally unique fingerprint that can be used to track you without ever knowing your name, or who you are as a person.

It's his restaurant chain.

I write software. I am legally bound to not release source code for the things I do for work.

However all of the software that I write that is not required to be closed source, is not.

Just ignore the other two paragraphs then.

A house is 1/5th of your annual income and you can't save up a down payment?

A 20% down payment for you is only 2 weeks of your salary.

You could save income of about 6 hours worth of work each week to have a 20% down payment in a year

With an FHA loan, a down payment is 0.6% of your annual income.
