  • The GaN ones are if you care about size and power. Their dock is basically a high quality laptop dock, and priced equivalently, plus it's custom shaped to hold the deck.

    For a deck that's just sitting there plugged in all the time yeah not a big deal / worth it.

  • It's hundreds or thousands of dollars for a small jar.

    The point of NIST foodstuffs is to test industrial equipment / cleaning chemicals / etc. against a standard, not to eat. IIRC Tom Scott has a video about'm.

  • Had the same experience and opinion for years, they do fine on Backblaze's drive stats but don't know that I'll ever super trust them just 'cus.

    That said, the current home server has a mix of drives from different manufacturers including seagate to hopefully mitigate the chances that more than one fails at a time.

  • TikTok is shady in how much info it collects and how tailored the feeds it shows people get.

    It is not unique about either of those.

    Facebook/Google/et. al. being on this coast instead of that coast doesn't mean they shouldn't have exactly the same scrutiny. Literally the only evidence offered that TikTok was in any way special was "we can't tell you but there's classified info that means we should ban it." Which is less than encouraging that the ban is for anything other than because of 'those dang kids' being annoying.

  • A scope limits your field of view. It makes it easier to hit far away things moving relatively slowly/predictably.

    It would be the opposite of helpful against a fast/close small target. There's a reason duck hunters use shotguns.

  • A Radler is a German thing, shandy in English. Basically half lager half lemonade. Fantastic light drink. I've seen them at Total Wine in a few flavors.

    Beer cocktails are a thing. Drink what you like.

    Prost.

  • It's an in-joke.

    The comic used to be big in the ~2000s nerd space, mostly by being one of the earlier video game focused webcomics that hit it big. The author had/has a.... polarizing personality and the comic itself went from dick jokes and game references to super serious miscarriage storyline at the drop of a hat.

    Que endless satire.

  • To cover what? DJI isn't paying anything extra.

    If they raise the price to $1700, then the tariff would be $1020 to the US government, again by you, and you would pay $2720 total to get your thing, split between DJI and the port authority.

    After they put it on the boat DJI doesn't care. They have their $1000. If they feel like it they can add the tariff charge and handle that for you, that's how it usually happens now, but they don't have to. You'll just get a letter from the port authority about the charges needed to release your item.

  • I mean it's very simple. A tariff is what you pay the government to get stuff released from the port of entry.

    You buy a $1000 DJI quadcopter that was manufactured in China, if Trump does his "60% on everything from China" tariff the US government says you have to pay them $600 or it goes back on the boat.

    The complicated part of tarrifs is stuff like "are X-men action figures human or non-human toys" because those get different rates. Not what tariffs "are".

  • Leaning hard towards "been claiming elections have been rigged for 20 years". He was asked how he got his numbers on reddit and said "yeah it doesn't mean much without the actual counts" and handwaved the question away.

    Really wish headlines would start being "One guy claims" instead of "Experts claim". But that wouldn't get as much engagement.

  • (if that service goes down, everyone in my house gets mad at me)

    I bought a PiZero and set it up as a redundant pihole for this reason. It's slower because it's wireless, but not super noticeable since it's 'just' DNS. I have the router pointed at the main and backup all the time and if I need to do something (or break the main one messing with dockers) there's still the backup until I get the main up.

    I messed around with some High Availability configs where they both had the 'same' ip but could never get it working smoothly. I just use the teleporter functionality within pihole any time I update anything to keep them in sync, which is rare.

  • A lot of the Old Testament this. Any translation that uses more readable language is nice. The King James version etc get too much credit for sounding religiousy.

    Genesis through Deuteronomy or so are what a lot of Protestant churches at least focus on. The New Testament is Jesus' life and then a bunch of letters to various early churches about how the Religion should work.

    A lot of "the rest" are the kind of fables they're talking about. Ruth, Esther, Job, Samuel, etc. The ones named after people/mythological figures, depending on your point of view/beliefs.
