The correct order to watch all 4:

• Cars
• Cars 3

I hope they're just patenting this to prevent other manufacturers from doing it.

I remember using Xiph's integer implementation of Ogg Vorbis on my Nokia N-Gage (Symbian S60). I wonder if it's not a priority for Opus. IIRC, Opus is floats all the way down.

update: it exists.

Even if you can't cleanly remove it, you can probably delete a few system files and break it. It's not like the whole thing will be baked into kernel32.dll.

IPv6. Stop engineering IoT junk on single-stack IPv4, you dipshits.

Ogg Opus. It's superior to everything in every way. It's free and there is absolutely no reason to not support it. It blows my mind that MPEG 1.0 Layer III is still so dominant.

I love this standard. If you dig deeper into it, the standard also covers a way to express intervals and periods. E.g. "P1Y2M10DT2H30M" represents one year, 2 months, 10 days, 2 hours and 30 mins.

I recall once using the standard when writing a cron-style scheduler.

I also like the POSIX "seconds since 1970" standard, but I feel that should only be used in RAM when performing operations (time differences in timers etc.). It irks me when it's used for serialising to text/JSON/XML/CSV.

Also: Does Excel recognise a full ISO8601 timestamp yet?

I hope salary man gets the break he deserves.

Wired xbox controller for PC games.

Wired switch controller for Nintendo emulation.

I happen to have both consoles and they work instantly over USB.

That's about $110 per household.

This was at a stockpile yard at a port where raw mined materials were stored before being shipped.

Basically, if the wind was blowing strong enough in the right direction, it would blow over a nearby town. The problem wasn't really knowing where the dust was going, but where it was coming from. Accurate monitoring could detect exactly which pile the dust is coming from, so you could direct all the water to the source. It's impractical to wet the entire yard, as it's huge.

This reminds me of something I worked on at my last job. I made software to detect plumes of dust pollution from a mining site blowing onto a nearby school and town. The EPA issued fines if they detected too much dust over the town. This system could catch it early for quick intervention.

After it was deployed, I got a glimpse of their production config. They hadn't configured the alarms for early intervention. They had configured them so that they could get as close as possible to their allocated limit before they intervened at all. Because, ya know, spraying water on stockpiles of ore is expensive.

Fucking mining companies, man.

I know about that one. The 800MB "fix" for it has been crashing machines quite hard.

I don't have that problem because I don't run Windows.

Windows is shit.

IPv6 should not be disabled under any circumstances.

In fact, many devices in my house have IPv4 disabled. Disabling IPv4 on my public-facing SSH reduced the attack traffic to zero.

IPv4 is shit.

Public-facing: Password generator, stored in a password manager.

Internal LAN: Everything gets the same re-used, low-effort password.

Nobody is going to hack my CUPS server.

This sounds like an improvement, if anything. I know I'm opening a file I downloaded. I don't need a warning. I need it to execute, because that's the instruction I gave.

My bank apps all work fine. Just keep your physical bank cards on you because Google Wallet won't work with credit cards, NFC or transport passes. Your gig tickets and membership cards will load fine though.

You probably don't want Google rummaging through your purchase history anyway. I certainly don't miss it.

So, Disney+ gift cards carry no value at Disneyland, but the Disney+ death waiver does?

Except it's 200MB.

We call it "streaming".
