Honestly, and I'm not sure of the technical specifications, but the screen is so bright that I really never notice the reflections unless I'm in the absolute worst conditions- where I probably shouldn't be running my laptop outside in direct sunlight.

It's an interesting issue, because I have the same feelings about the recent launch of the SteamDeck. The highest priced model has an etched mat screen and the lower models have a reflective one. I'd say that it's far more noticeable in the steamdeck than it is on my macbook screen, even though they look very similar.

My guess is the adaptive brightness and sensors are very well tuned.

Interestingly, either H/N changed the submission title, or the article itself changed their title to reflect the content of the article better. Is there a way I can check which happened in the last few hours?

I see a lot of articles that quote the cost for hacking a product or service. I feel like these type of titles undermine the effort that took place. Surely the lab Wouters used had tools and processes that aren't cheap, nor would you consider his expertise inexpensive.

I'm not impressed by a PCB board being cheap. Does anyone else feel this way about similar headlines?

A friend of mine once had the idea to create a zine where the contents were made up of things that we'd find in between the pages of books at Goodwill.

We went to a few different Goodwills around town, and while the idea was exciting- it turned dark quickly when we discovered the research notes of a man who had been diagnosed with cancer. It appeared he was not going to win the battle, and he knew it. Perhaps this was his way of coping, but from the state of the medial book it appeared he did not win the battle. I don't think the zine was ever published.

Pill presses with name-brand impressions are pretty cheaply imported from China these days.

Unfortunately this is a very common way of cutting pills with stronger drugs and stretching products for drug dealers.

Xanex and Percs are often crushed up, then cut with Fentanyl and vitamins to be re-pressed into the original pill form to be sold on the street as a prescription drug.

Hmm, about a year ago when I was on Zoom meetings we could get a transcript that was generated of the whole meeting, along with a recording of the meeting.

Was this feature removed at some point? One of my coworkers would export the meeting conversation and save it in slack. While it wasn't always perfect with the captioning, it worked well enough!

Your argument is that all words are made up?

You could say this about any language and of course, it still holds true.

GitHub CLI 1.0 6 years ago

Yeah, and this is the correct way to automate anything relating to github. Their API is insane.

While proton works wonderfully, I've found that most of the time the anticheat systems do not run at all. So multi-player is usually disabled, even if the game runs flawlessly as a port. The Halo collection let me log into Xbox live, but then fails to run anticheat, so you are left with campaign. Same with PUBG.

So many games run extremely well that it's not a deal breaker for me. My last gaming rig was on Zorin Ultimate.
