I was tempted by Arc. Intel drivers always “just worked”, but they are just slow. Arc didn’t address the problem like I’d hoped, and AMD really got their shit together in the last 5 years or so.

AreWeAntiCheatYet does a decent job of cataloguing what has anti-cheat, and what actually works on Linux / Wine.

It would be great to have it shown on the Steam store. I refunded a game recently because my kid bought something with anti-play by accident.

That’s hilarious. I haven’t been able to enable IPv6 since the August update. The machine just spins to 100% CPU across every core like a forkbomb.

It pissed me off because my home network is built IPv6-first.

If my work pushes 24H2 I’ll just have to disable both :/

I’m waiting for the part that it gets used for things that are not lazy, manipulative and dishonest. Until then, I’m sitting it out like Linus.

WebP is basically the format used to store i-frames in WebM/VPx videos. Google acquired on2 technologies for this tech many years ago, and it was to stop W3C from standardising a patent encumbered codec like H.265. These were all well intentioned.

WebP / WebM has all been superceded by AV1 / AVIF anyway. It never really took off, and it’s too late to start now.

Australia banned half a million active devices from their mobile networks today. It must be a new trend.

Everybody’s stupid except me.

PlexAmp is an amazing bit of software for a phone. It doesn’t translate well to the desktop, but it’s still pretty good.

Your flacs will play lossless on wifi, and transcode to 128kbps opus on mobile. You can tweak those settings too.

Most smart TVs have a native plex app available too.

Teslas aren’t exactly long-range rural cars. Correcting for mileage would only increase the crash rates.

However, being city cars, they probably have high operational hours.

The speed humps are actually worse on a softer setting. The car takes far longer to settle after a bump.

On standard suspension, the car would bounce off the bump stops at half the speed of everyone else.

The ones near me are heavily signed. There’s usually 4 sign posts on each one. They’re big, bright, and an utter blight on the landscape.

I actually drive between them because my car is narrow. I drive down my entire street in the middle of the road and weave oncoming traffic. Again, I’m not sure what sped humps do for safety.

One thing that makes them “equally unpleasant” for everyone is a straight-through muffler. At 2AM, my neighbors are just an inconvenienced as I am when I drop back to first gear 6 times. My council refers to speed humps as “traffic calming devices”. In reality, it just aggravates it.

Tesla Drivers Have the Highest Crash Rate of Any Brand

Tesla also had the lowest DUI rate. They’re not intoxicated, they’re just crap drivers.

It’s fun to play and complete in your local sportsball league. It’s exercise while being fun. Spectating is fun when watching a sport that you also play. Seeing the pros play is it properly lets you bring something back to your own game. I don’t actually care who wins. That’s tribalism.

Going to a “sports” bar to watch fat people get drunk and place bets makes no sense to me.

I also hate sports trivia. It’s just celebrity trivia but for people to star on the field instead of in movies. If I get asked who won a particular award in a particular sport in a particular year, I would have absolutely no idea. If you aksed me to explain the “infield fly” rule, I’ve got that covered.

And yes, a full 8 minutes of the nightly news covering sports is just insane. I just don’t care.

The same logic can explain why Teslas crash so often. You turn on all the assists, and eventually forget how to change gears.

Speed humps. On my daily 5km drive, there are about a dozen of them each way.

I have a 900kg car with sports suspension, and I need to slow almost to a stop for many of them.

Meanwhile people in 2500kg road-blimps are blasting through without slowing.

Most are bumps in the road that taper on the sides. Vehicles with a wide enough wheelbase miss them amlost entirely, whereas my 1.6m wide car gets launched into the air.

The greater the kill capacity of your vehicle, the less you are affected by these “safety” devices.

If it leaves your device, you cannot control it.

I haven’t financed a phone since 2008. I copped a fee for ending a 24 month contract a day early.

I just buy a cheap outright handset, flash a community ROM and avoid everything my telco offers past a $20 basic service. Handsets with community support go for years past what the manufacturers support.

A monitor is an output device. It cannot transmit or operate on a network. (inb4 ethernet over HDMI: There is no implementation of the spec in the wild).

If there’s any ad tracking, it would have to be in your display driver on the PC.

This is why it breaks. It’s not a streaming CDN. Do you torrent over tor as well?
