Impressive, but also stupidly risky no matter how good you are.

Heh, I just upgraded my NAS to 18TB total storage. Which sounds like a large number but it'd go very fast if I were storing 4k video.

And really just hurts people who are searching for actual human answers to questions later.

I bought a small chest freezer for extra leftover storage. They're not super expensive for a small one.

I'm really wondering the story behind the taking of this picture.

Eh. I lived in a place that has a lot of vegans and know a lot of them. In reality I think only a small percentage of vegans do this. But the ones who do are the most vocal, and the most likely to have negative interactions with non-vegans.

That hasn't been true at all post-2016.

Well tbf a lot of people have been following him since he actually was a kid. He started the channel when he was in high school.

I mean sure, if you pass a constitutional amendment, I guess? Which this is not.

"I don't like this law that our democratically elected representatives passed" does not mean that the law threatens democracy. You're allowed to not like it, of course. That's actually a big part of democracy.

Uhh, yeah, we're a representative democracy. This passed through both houses of congress and is on its way to be signed by the president. You know, the completely normal legislative process.

There's a reason why the bill doesn't go into effect until after the election.

I know that I heard (on the 538 podcast) that before voting on this, congress was given a security briefing about it, and after that there was wide bipartisan support for the ban (and we all know how rare bipartisan support is these days). It sounds like the security briefing was pretty compelling. If it's not just theoretical that Chinese gocernment could leverage tiktok to spy on Americans and influence them, and there's evidence that they are already doing it, I think it makes the case for the ban much stronger. But the information has not been made public.

I'll also note that they set the ban to not go into effect until after the election.

Cute. Also, apparently Penny Arcade is still running.

If something requires more than like 2 texts to resolve then it seems like you could just pick up the phone.

This is not a very helpful article summary.

One of the key benefits of the codec is that it helps maintain video quality during compression and decoding, so many users are excited about the potential for higher quality AV1 video. However, not everyone is happy with the change — particularly those with older devices and midrange phones. It's mostly newer higher-end phones that have hardware decoding support for AV1, so those with midrange devices and older flagships may have to rely on software decoding now that YouTube has opted in to the libdav1d decoder. Many of these Android users have expressed concern over how the change will impact their battery life if it means a move away from hardware-accelerated decoding.

TBF I bet the prosecution feels the same way...the juror strike system is designed to make compromises.

I assume they knew because of the enigma cracking?

Games were also significantly less complex then. It takes teams of 100s of people to make a AAA game now. But don't kid yourself, there were definitely game-breaking bugs back then. And in the pc world, patches arrived much, much earlier than in the console world.

Nah, it's cause you're on an ip blacklist. While lots of people use vpns just for privacy reasons, there is also a lot of abuse from them and the ips get blacklisted frequently.

Meanwhile I use a VPN, so half the time it rejects me no matter what. It's really fucking annoying.
