Also, this feels like blogspam with a short summary and a link to the actual source. Original Verge article here.

That’s an interesting example. Here in my city there was a case of a transport officer crashing his car into someone. He smelled of alcohol and was slurring and it was in the news cycle with great outrage and irony.

A few days later news broke that he had died of diabetes-related complications. Apparently the smell was not alcohol, it was ketones from him being hyperglycemic.

Going back to your “standards” statement, for an individual it would make sense not to get into a car this person drives. At the same time it makes sense for the court not to convict him until he is proven guilty. Both standards have their place and rightfully so.

Are you seriously suggesting that a game meant to run on Windows 98 runs better on wine than it does on Windows 98?

$5 to this person OP.

Linux isn’t going to help, and why the hell would you want to buy or pirate (and run the risk of malware) something you already own.

That’s weird then. Never happened to me and I’ve used it everyday for a couple of weeks now. I wonder if the two bugs are related.

Also sometimes it just literally does nothing. Push the play button and nothing at all happens.

That’s a bug with the notification/lockscreen widget AFAICT. Pressing play on the main player window should work. This is the most serious bug I’ve found. It’s quite a promising player otherwise.

I’m happy to know that Pocketcasts is OS now, that was my player of choice before trying to jump to Antennapod.

If your device is on this list and you’re technically-inclined, consider installing lineageOS.

I played Prey two games ago but I still feel like i just left it. The more time passes, the more I’m convinced that it’s my favorite Arkane game. I love the Dishonored game world and lore but I think Prey is a more ‘whole’ game.

I honestly didn’t expect the ending either, while I could see what was coming with Dishonored/2. Felt cathartic.

You may want to try sd cards designed for security cameras. They are meant to be recorded to 24/7 and have higher write endurance.

I love my Garmin watches but they aren’t really known for privacy or security. They had a ransomware attack in 2020 and the Connect service was down. It’s speculated that they paid the ransom.

Peek means that as long as you’re touching the thumbnail, you see the zoomed in image (after a short delay). When you release, it snaps back to the front page. Without peek you would touch, view the image, and then gesture ‘back’ to go back to the main page.

This works on articles and gifs too, not just images. So if the thumbnail is informative you can save a lot of time and steps and get a quick gist of what the article is talking about

I didn’t realise how much I missed image peek (long press a post to popup the thumbnail image) until I switched back from jerboa to sync when it first came out. Especially since I mostly seem to be reading webcomics.

I don’t comment much, but sync’s draft feature feels very solid.

Otherwise I did feel jerboa was good and would have gotten used to it.

Lossless quality: The highest quality you can practically get, where it’s as close to a 1:1 recreation from the studio as reasonably possible.

Nitpick: lossless would actually bit-identical to the original. The trade-off in compression level is based on how much processing is required to compress/uncompress it. The audio fidelity remains the same; 1:1.

Because why not! Easy way to SCP files over, run scripts. Repurpose old devices as always on, low power servers. It ties in nicely with Tasker so if you want to extend functionality it’s easy.

Good points to note, thank you! I would have taken the balancing circuit for granted, but it doesn’t hurt to double-check with vendors.

I didn’t know that deep-discharge batteries also had the same characteristics, TIL, and it makes sense based on my experience with them!

Thanks for your insight. You seem to have some experience.

I’m currently researching a solar hybrid power system in India and am going through different battery types. We have used deep-cycle lead-acid batteries with a regular UPS and I’m familiar with their lifesoan.

Do lifepo4s last longer? I’m only seeing marginally longer lifespans. I’m also concerned about safety. I’m quite scared of regular lithiums and have read that lifepo4s are more hardy.

What about maintenance? Anything else I need to know about them?

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but auto batteries aren’t meant for deep discharge. UPS’s use a specific type of battery that is meant for it.

Using auto batteries in this situation would likely end up in them dying after a few months.

Namecheap is cheap and has low cost (free?) Privacyguard. Nearlyfreespeech.net is a principles-first web hosting company that is committed to free speech and also offers domain hosting and registration.

So did my Asus motherboard. It didn’t install armoury crate, but it pop up as a suggestion. Maybe op just clicked through absent-mindedly?
