  • Isn't it a little weird to call vegans who say eating meat is murder a "loud minority", and then explaining why you cannot be a vegan without saying that eating meat is murder (hyperbole or not)?

    Is there something in your comment I'm missing, or is this supposed to be some self-aware joke?

  • There was a supply shortage of fans during the launch of the LCD model. Valve solved this by shipping two types of fans until supply was restored. If you had one of the alternative fans, then your SD would have a pretty bad whine.

    Though, Valve offered original replacement fans via. IFixIt soon after, so you could just buy the better fan and change it. I did.

  • The by far easiest method is to install the Steam Link app on the TV. Though, Samsung removed the app a few years ago for some reason. (Yup, i too had a Samsung TV, though likely my last.)

    The next easiest method, though not wireless, is to get a dock or USB hub and then use a HDMI cable.

    Alternatively, if you are a little tech-savvy, you could see if you can get Moonlight (please excuse the reddit link) to work, though I have no experience with that tool.

  • And the above was literally how I was thought to represent data in university. Maximize the areas of interest, make sure to properly label your axes (lest they become misleading), and remember to trim empty space where relevant.

    But it appears that proper graphs for science and engineering reports may not be used for representing data to the common man, as it must be assumed that, even for the most simple of graphs, the common man will only look at the funny line, but not the graph itself.

  • I was of the impression that reading a graph also required understanding of regular writing/reading, but I'm no native speaker, so I'll gladly stand corrected.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "one of those little zigzag indicators", do you perhaps mean leap/break in data denoted by the "Squiggle"? I don't think any data below 7m is included in this graph, so, if I understand you correctly, then that wouldn't be a proper use of said squiggle.

  • Seems fine to me, the axes are easy to understand and there would be a lot of unnecessary whitespace otherwise. Though, it does require some reading comprehension, and that one actually looks at it and not just skims over.

  • I somehow remember that it didn't fit last I tried it, but playing around with the demo, it feels like it's fills all the holes.

    Thank you, I'll try setting it up and see how it goes.

  • Hmmm, seems much the same as catbox, except that you need a click more to get the image link but gives you more options in return.

    What I'm really interested in would be a (preferably) self hosted solution which allows one to share either single images or albums with visible (but non-obscuring) labels, and where one can easily flip through images in an album. Also needs batch upload (can be by FTP, the method doesn't matter much). I've tried Pixelfed half a year ago, and while I really wanted to like it, it didn't really have proper albums and labels at the time.

    Hosts like Postimages and Catbox are fine, I guess, much like Discord is "fine, I guess", but I don't want to spam the host by uploading an image 50 times for 50 different posts, and no way that I'm gonna check all previously uploaded images whether I've already uploaded the one I need.

  • Thank you, and it absolutely is, but I'm lazy and haven't yet found a proper solution for hosting images.

    I sometimes host smaller images like the above on Catbox, but Imgur, Catbox, and other similar sites feel just as clunky and unfit as Discord. At least to me.

  • Don't forget to put all your clothes, bags, and other belongings in the freezer for a week when you come home.

    I sheltered two people during the storm surge last year and I think they brought in bed bugs, though I didn't wait long enough to properly confirm other than the itching and bite marks. In other words, the floor still has "bubble marks" from when the varnish started cooking during my week-long extermination craze.

    Edit: Image from the glorious happening. Heater was usually placed on a box to keep it elevated. I tried to keep the room above 70°C.

  • I haven't found a definite favorite yet, but I've bought a few Western Digital external HDDs which have all supported S.M.A.R.T. over USB. I'm currently using their WDBU6Y0050BBK devices. They don't have the best reviews, but mine have worked just fine over the past year.

    Contrary, I've had two Seagate external HDDs in the past, none of which supported S.M.A.R.T. over USB, and they died after about 10 years of sparse use (powered on for backup at least once a year).

    I guess one could find what USB chip the WDs use and then compare with other drives, but no one writes such stuff in their product information. >:(

  • If it's important, or if you love your stuff, then always keep a backup.

    I personally do three 5TB ext. drives, and only two drives may be at the same location at any given time. I'm also making sure only to use drives whose S.M.A.R.T. can be read without removing their enclosure.

    Not sure who thought it'd be a good idea to make an external drive where S.M.A.R.T. cannot be read through whatever interface it uses.
