How?

Have you double checked that the monitor itself has native refresh rate of 160, not 144? Otherwise I’m stumped.

they preload the hardened malloc, obvi 🙄

Nah—I’d just assume let everyone choose for themselves whether renting or owning is right for them.

What about those who don’t want to own?

Well, if this isn’t a classic case of “he said, she said.”

From the article:

“Rather than making independent decisions on what the market here in D.C. calls for in terms of filling vacant units, landlords are compelled, under the terms of their agreement with RealPage, to charge what RealPage tells them,” said [Attorney General of the District of Columbia Brian Schwalb].

Also:

RealPage told CNBC that its landlord customers are under no obligation to take their price suggestions.

So, which one is it?

Regardless, these are some very interesting cases revolving around the Sherman Act as it applies to housing markets.

EDIT: Here’s the video version of the article.

This is why we’re just not going to agree—you’re saying because the property owner does not live there, they should operate at a loss, which I disagree with.

The renter has no real choice

See, I don’t buy this. The renter may not like the other options because they’re in a less desirable neighborhood or farther out from the city center, but that is not the same as having no choice.

Sure. The terms of the owner’s financing are none of the renter’s business. The only facts that are relevant are that the owner is willing to rent out their property at a certain price, and the renter is willing to pay that price, and both parties are entering into the transaction of their own free will. If the owner and renter are unable to agree on a price, they are free to go their separate ways. No harm, no foul.

We’ll have to agree to disagree.

But rent has to cover all the costs of ownership and then some, meanwhile the mortgage payment is but a fraction of that.

How is audio different from other media types (e.g. images, videos, etc) that it isn’t / couldn’t be supported by activity pub?

That looks how I’d expect it with just the basic free protection. Based on the description of that feature in Ad Guard (emphasis mine):

Blocks ads and trackers on websites opened in Safari.

Alas, I’m not ready to spring for the premium tier, at least not yet (but never say never).

Thanks for sharing what it could look like, though.

World’s Best Lasaga - scroll down past the image carousel and the little box that shows prep time, cook time, and servings. Under the prep time box, before the orange “Jump to Recipe” button, there’s an ad.

How do you actually load the smart tube app on your TV? I have a chromecast btw.

EDIT: Just figured it out. Involves installing the Downloader app on my chromecast from the Google Play Store, then within the Downloader app I downloaded and installed the Smart Tube apk file from GitHub (after enabling Developer Mode in chromecast settings first).

Tested it on a gamer content creator channel and it skipped the sponsor segment at the very beginning. I’m in!

Unfortunately, AdGuard for iOS does not block ads in Safari as promised, at least not with the free tier (I double checked the instructions and toggled on all AdGuard related features in Settings). Comparing it to uBlock in Firefox is laughable.

For example, I searched for lasagna recipes, still saw ads in search results on DDG. Clicked a link to allrecipes.com, and bam—multiple banner ads embedded in the page before I can even read the actual recipe, plus another one docked to the bottom of my screen. Fail.

EDIT: Clarified that I’m referring to the free tier of Ad Guard, which I think is fair to say represents most users’ experience with it.

Do you ever watch YouTube on your living room TV?

1. For use with steam on linux (i store my games on it)

Have you actually played a game from a mechanical HDD yet? I’m asking because 99% of “freezing” troubleshooting/help posts in gaming subs that I follow on that other site that shall not be named are because the OP stores their games on a mechanical HDD instead of a SSD, so if you’ve been doing this, I’m curious how your experience has been so far.

If you have a little extra cash to burn, I’d recommend springing for an extra 256 GB SSD or something, which can be had for $30 on Amazon in the US (not sure about your country).

EDIT:

2. For use with obs on windows (i do some screen recording and need to be able to save the output to the drive)

Now that I think about it, I’d be shocked if recording video to a mechanical HDD went smoothly as well. If my prediction is correct, then you might consider first recording the session to the OS drive (assuming it’s a SSD), and then copying the file to the HDD for long term storage after you finish recording.

Yup—this whole article is a big fat nothing burger, but it’ll generate clicks, which is all that matters in the digital age.

EDIT: Judging from some of the comments in this thread, rage bait headlines work. For better or worse.

Gotcha. Worst case, if you can mount it using any tool (GUI or CLI), then maybe you can copy its contents to another drive, reformat it, and copy the contents back.
