Thankfully, Walmart stopped weighing items entirely. Not sure how it affects theft, but it sure makes the checkout process smoother. Don't need to wait after scanning each item. Don't need take reusable bags out of your cart. And they replaced almost all of their checkout lanes with self checkouts.
Too bad Walmart is evil, because their checkout is 👌 and Sam's scan-and-go is just 💦. Every other store is just bad UX.
"If it can be done and it is done, for example, for crimes such as child pornography, for intellectual property, which is stealing, they should have to do it too." - LaLiga chief Javier Tebas
Ah yes, two equivalent crimes: CSAM and... um... watching sports without paying
The article is not talking about async processing. It's talking about the process scheduler and thread blocking. It even has a section titled "Real-time Scheduling" that talks specifically about the process scheduler.
It's simply not possible to fit the author's definition of real-time without using something like an RTOS, and the author seems to understand that. The main feature of an RTOS is a different scheduler implementation that can guarantee cpu time to events. The catch is that an RTOS isn't going to handle general purpose usecases like a personal computer very well since it requires purpose-built programs and won't be great at juggling a lot of different processes at the same time.
This is a ridiculous definition of "real-time". To accomplish this you'd need to subvert the kernal's scheduler, otherwise you'll always end up with "unbounded" response times since a single program can't control what else is running or which clock cycles are allocated to it. What you end up with is an OS that only runs one process per thread.
I’m tempted to abandon using Windows, macOS and Linux as the main platforms with which I interact.
Yeah, okay buddy. And I'm tempted to stop eating and sleeping because I'd like the extra free time.
I mean, being on-call is something that implicitly comes with compensation to match. I'm sure there are outliers, but it is literally extra work. It wouldn't make sense any other way.
Clearing the app data didn't work either. It allowed me to launch the app and browse anonymously. I was even able to log in and browse, but when I restored my settings from the cloud backup the app crashed and now it's back to crashing upon open.
Side note: the restore purchases button on the setup screen did not work, but the button in the "Get Ultra" page did.
My app crashes immediately upon opening, after the splash screen but before loading any posts. I've tried restarting my phone. Haven't tried clearing the app's cache because I don't want to relogin and also I shouldn't be on lemmy during work anyway lol.
Running Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with Android 13 and One UI 5.1. I have sync ultra.
Edit: Clearing data worked until I restored my settings.
Bluray rips can be 80mbps+ but I've never had trouble streaming them on any device including roku. Important to remember that the bitrate is an average so some scenes will be well above the advertised bitrate.
Yeah, companies like Google are too big and have too much influence over society/politics, but calling them a search monopoly seems like a stretch. Of all the evil things companies like Google do, we're going after them for paying other companies to make them their default search engine? It takes all of 30 seconds to change the default, though I admit most people won't, mostly because they honestly have no reason to.
It works with movies you already own, so there's no need to buy more just to test it out! It's still not as convenient as some other... less legal... options, but it's a step in the right direction.
How can you tell it's a filter vs actual film?
