Only if your microwave is poorly shielded. 2.4Ghz works fine right next to mine with the router on a different floor, on the other side of the house.

I rode back from a Phish show in Albany, NY when there were big fat flakes coming down at night on I-90. It was my first show and also first mushroom chocolate. It was like going warp speed the entire way home, long white snowflake tracers across a black background. Very fun to watch, although the trip home took a lot longer because we could only do 45 rather than 65.

I dunno, JPEG XT maybe? At a loss here.

Why did Android also use HEIC, did they choose this just to be a dick like Apple?

Let’s try this again: in a world where Apple is not a dick, what modern image format do they use that isn’t subject to these same codec requirements?

If they were doing this just to be dicks, they’d spin off one of their own formats like they did with ALAC. They didn’t, they used HEIC which was also used by Android (which is now using AVIF).

Apple definitely chose it to be a dick.

What other image format supports HDR and modern compression algorithms? AVIF also requires a special codec. This is just codec stuff, I really don’t see it as anyone being a dick. Android can also use these modern formats, with the same requirements if you want to open them on Windows.

Kinda surprising to me that people so frequently recommend using Linux here, yet taking 30 seconds to install a free codec on Windows is apparently a big deal.

For W10, you install an app to get the codec, then you’re done. It’s built in on W11. Same as HEVC video which is used very commonly in piracy. Are pirates out to make it “purposefully painful” or are they just using modern codecs? Android also can save to HEIC or AVIF.

Referrals are electronic for those running a modern EMR, like Epic. The systems exist, it’s up to both sides to implement them.

How so?

I use Firefox most of the time, but if I really need to stretch the battery life I’ll use Safari. It seems significantly faster and more power efficient than anything else I’ve used. If it had better plugin support, it’d be my daily driver. Can’t say I’ve ever had issues with it rendering a page.

Where’s anyone saying it’s worthless? That’s not in the article nor in these comments.

The issue is how it’s being used. It’s not being used to detect cancer. It’s being used for “efficiency”, which means more patients being seen by fewer nurses. It’s furthering the goals of the business majors in hospital administration, not the nurses or doctors who are caring for the patient.

NoScript is redundant with uBlock medium mode.

Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus with many filter lists + NoScript with 1st-party scripts/frames automatically trusted. Unlike NoScript however, you can easily point-and-click to block/allow scripts on a per-site basis.

I’m pretty sure a single atom could completely convert to energy, as in perfect E=mc^2 with no losses, and you still wouldn’t notice.

This study says that standing for more than two hours increases risk of certain things like blood clots. It also says sitting for a whole shift is bad, and you should be moving every 30 minutes. This does not mean standing desks are useless; I’m not standing for my circulatory system, I’m standing for my back. I also don’t stand for an entire shift, that’s what’s great about the memory settings. I’ll switch back and forth depending on what I feel like doing. Sometimes I’ll have it on “sit” all day, other times I’m switching back and forth quite a bit. I don’t think they’re useless, nor do I think it’s some health miracle, but it does give me more flexibility and I don’t think I’d go without after having used one.

Time spent standing was not associated with CVD risk but was associated with higher orthostatic circulatory disease risk. Time spent sitting above 10 h/day was associated with both higher orthostatic circulatory disease and major CVD risk. The deleterious associations of overall stationary time were primarily driven by sitting. Collectively, our findings indicate increasing standing time as a prescription may not lower major CVD risk and may lead to higher orthostatic circulatory disease risk.

I thought that was exploiting credit card/savings account rewards by bouncing from card to card, as in /r/churning.

Direct play should take very little CPU regardless of media quality, I can have multiple 4K streams going and my utilization is <10% on a Cameron J3455 (4c/4t Apollo Lake). When you’re direct playing it’s more a factor of HDD/network speed and the client than anything server side.

Is it just that one file?

How about the dryer door, does it open to the middle of the two or to the side?

How do the doors open? Every front load set I’ve seen comes from the factory with the doors set up to open to opposite sides, making washer left and dryer right by design. You can usually flip the dryer door for stacking but if you had them reversed they’d be right in the way, dividing both sides.

Curious what you find out. I can’t say I’ve had an issue direct playing anything on any device really. What you describe sounds exactly like seeking while transcoding though, that’s a pain in the ass and I just don’t do it. Direct play all the way.
