My wife totally skipped the "lol so random" phase of absurdist internet memes since she didn't use the internet at the time, so she doesn't appreciate things like Badger Badger Badger, Charlie the unicorn, the Llama song, animutations, etc.
It's useful sometimes though, because sometimes I show her a meme that she ends up loving, and I get to see someone experiencing it for the first time.
A lot of people don't realise that around 40% of the value of the S&P 500, and the majority of the Nasdaq 100 (i.e. QQQM) is big tech companies.
You could always build a portfolio that excludes companies you feel are unethical (for example, exclude oil and gas companies, exclude big tech, etc), but if you were to exclude all companies that have done something unethical then you'd probably end up with the S&P 0 (an empty list)
As much as I hate Facebook, they at least pay people to do moderation there, and regularly update their site
Facebook pays content creators too (https://creators.facebook.com/earn-money ), including for things other than videos (like photo/image posts). Platforms like YouTube do too, but as far as I know, Reddit doesn't.
Do those code snippets on the Stackoverflow post allow you to capture the entire screen regardless of which app is open, or do they only allow you to capture the app the code is running in?
Capturing the app itself makes sense (for things like bug reports) but does Android really let any app capture whatever is on the screen?
The one time I do connect the TV to the internet is when there's a firmware update that fixes an issue I'm encountering. That's rare though.
I still have it on my network so I can control it using Home Assistant (eg have a backlight come on and dim the main lights when the TV is turned on) but it's on an isolated VLAN.
This is why my TV is on a separate VLAN (with no internet access) and I use an Nvidia Shield for streaming. I haven't seen any indication that the Shield does anything like this.
I was going to say "that article mostly just seems to debunk the 'my phone is always listening to me' conspiracy theory" but then I got to the part about over 50% of analyzed Android apps having permission to take screenshots :/
Wow I didn't expect that it'd be possible to get 60fps on Steam Deck.
I've played through the Xbox Series X version of Cyberpunk 2077 twice and it ran well, but I've been interested in getting the PC version to try some mods. My desktop PC is quite old, since I don't really do any PC gaming any more and it's sufficient for everything else that I do (mainly coding). I've got a Steam Deck though!
I mean, both things can be true? I know banks are pushing on Google to improve Android security, to avoid malicious apps with root access from messing with banking apps.
The fact is that a rooted phone can definitely be less secure if the user doesn't 100% know what they're doing, in the same way that always logging in as root on a Linux system can be.
A lot of video streaming sites (maybe most of them?) used a chunked video format like HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) or DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP), where the video is split into a large number of ~5 second clips, rather than having a single video file. All video streaming services that change video quality based on bandwidth uses technologies like these.
The videos are likely also encrypted with a DRM scheme like Widevine. yt-dlp can take a HLS or DASH stream and stick all the small video files back together, but I don't think it can deal with DRM. Videos with DRM also can't be captured using screen recording software, unless you do something like using a HDMI cable that strips HDCP.
Somehow it's the only old-school P2P network that's not only survived, but still thrives even today. So many rare songs on there. It turned 24 years old last month. All the others from the same era (like Napster, Kazaa, Limewire, etc) are long gone. ed2k is still around but mostly dead.
The chat rooms are also old-school unmoderated chat rooms, so expect the worst of humanity to be in there.
If you have a home server, slskd is great. It's an alternate Soulseek app that's a server with a web UI.
Is this why Business Insider articles are trash? They have so many clickbait headlines (including Buzzfeed-style ones like "we tried five things. You won't believe which one was the best") attached to articles that aren't worth reading. Whenever I click one in Google News, I usually regret increasing their view count.
some malfunction in systems around the world only supporting max 9 digits
That's not how computers work, though. They use binary so they care more about binary digits (powers of two: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc) rather than decimal digits (powers of 10: 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, etc).
Very old systems store numbers with a fixed number of digits, but those systems don't use Unix time.
