That's double-plus ungood wrongthink, citizen. Report for re-education.

Summon kidney stone.

Well, Marge's voice actor is 73 now.

The show's been running for 35 years. Lisa's voice actor is 59 now. She is an old lady.

That many hours spent to pull a stunt like that. And I thought people who played healers in MMORPGs were powered by hate.

Well, Nvidia initially didn't intend to support Wayland at all. They're being dragged into it kicking and screaming, one step at a time.

I'd argue that if pushing the brakes hard can blow up the brake lines, they already needed fixed.

The inefficiency.

If you need 100 kWh into the truck's electric motor to drive somewhere, with a battery electric truck you need to generate around 120 kWh at the power station. After transmission losses, transformer losses, charging and discharging the battery, etc you wind up with your 100 kWh.

If you're driving a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, you still have an electric motor and you still need 100 kWh to reach your destination. But you need to generate something like 400 kWh to actually get 100 kWh into the motor, and that 400 kWh of generation and grid transmission is what you need to pay for. Turning electricity into hydrogen and back into electricity is incredibly wasteful.

"I want my fuel bill to dramatically increase." - no fleet operator ever.

Battery trucks might not be able to do all routes yet, but they're dramatically cheaper to operate on the routes they can do. Hydrogen vehicles cost so much per mile that they wind up just parked in a field and forgotten as soon as trials finish and funding dries up.

I think we're going to see major NPCs get their dialog hand-written and background characters get AI dialog.

You could have random shopkeepers ramble on for hours about how their kids are doing in school or trouble they're having with a delivery company or whatever topic. Nobody's going to write that, but we could AI generate it.

Can confirm, I haven't even thought about buying an EV since I bought an EV.

I see your sunflower sumos and raise you a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head.

"There are a lot of results that aren't what you're looking for."

Okay, great?

Depends on what they actually need to do. When it's a drive that's working and they just have to image it and run some recovery software it should be pretty cheap.

Clean room repair of dead hard disks is a different story.

Well, Toyota's claims about batteries are intended to convince people not to buy EVs yet. They're going to be SO much better real soon now so just buy another Toyota gas car and think about EVs next time.

It's just another flavour of the anti-EV FUD Toyota has been spewing for a decade now. They're also saying that hydrogen is the future and that gas will always be 70%+ of the car market, so you have your choice of anti-EV FUD. Consistency doesn't matter when you're running a disinformation campaign.

If there's something really important on that disk, don't do ANYTHING, just unplug it and hand it over to a data recovery company.

If there isn't anything really important on there, go ahead and try and do it yourself.

Paying $100 to a data recovery company can save you a ton of headaches if it has the only copy of your thesis on there and you mess it up trying to fix things yourself.

I wrote a bit of python earlier, do I have to send you a cheque?

Closed as a duplicate of another issue.

The other issue was closed as off topic.

GNU Parallel works well for this kind of thing. A lot of audio stuff is single threaded, so unlike video transcoding running multiple conversions simultaneously is a useful thing to do. The command is simpler, too:

        parallel ffmpeg -i {} {.}.opus ::: *.m4a
