It still blows my mind that no OLED TV has yet added simple temporal blending between frames, the kind of which MPV has had for decades. They could even take it a step further and emulate the colour-dependent blending of LCD screens. But no instead it's the same terrible motion interpolation algorithms of 15+ years ago, or nothing.
What >100mbps content is there? 4K bluray just needs a bigger buffer to handle >100mbps spikes (Kodi for example offers this) and Moonlight/Apollo/etc is well into diminishing returns
I solved mine by chronically exposing myself to very low noise during sleep - wearing good earplugs in an already silent room. To the point where you can hear your eyeballs move etc. I guess this may be where the link to good sleep comes from, which implies a quiet sleeping environment
A bug(?) exists to disable liquid ass on the Home Screen that still works in 26.3 - enable Reduce Motion globally in accessibility settings, then add a per app accessibility override for “Home Screen & App Library” with Reduce Motion off, then reboot. Somehow this disables liquid ass throughout the Home Screen, back to iOS 18 gaussian blurs
Yeah it’s more of an annoyance for sure. I only discovered it was a thing when intentionally MITMing a domain on my router
Even with default https etc, HSTS still adds some defence against MITM - browsers won’t let you even forcibly accept a self signed certificate
I’m always surprised people pick Lua when Pawn exists. I think I’d even still choose it over MicroQuickJS
My solution to this is a pair of udp ports relayed to each other on a VPS via socat. Then you can point a home WireGuard server (behind cgnat etc) at one, and clients at the other, with no need to trust the vps
While I do like tone controls, I'm skeptical of the argument of adjusting bass/treble based on volume, e.g. the likes of 'Dynamic EQ' in D&M receivers. It has always sounded like it is doubling up something that my brain is already doing
Not a Ruby/Rails person, but from a quick look there are still APIs named exactly the same between those versions. Very nice to see
On the other hand, Laravel decided to change from snake_case to CamelCase between versions 3 and 4, just because. Literally 0% compatibility
It's on PHP 7.4, so between RHEL and CloudLinux there's another few years left in it, before I weigh up rewrite vs another round of hacking modern PHP support into Laravel 3
Still maintaining a Laravel 3 project. Barely made it 2 years before maintainability became a nightmare and the only upgrade path was complete rewrite. Projects written without an opinionated framework easily sail past 10 years of comfy maintainability
You can see their panic - in my country they are running TV ads for Google search, showing it answering LLM-prompt-like queries. They are desperately trying to win back that mind share, and if they lose traditional keyword search too they’re cooked
Nice, gives me Pawn vibes
Full-text search is entirely client side (not via IMAP)
Setting up server-side Xapian full-text search and disabling the crap client-side one in Thunderbird was one of the best improvements I made to my email usability. What makes your client-side search better? It's usually not speed I'm looking for, but rather precision, such as double quoted phrases (sorely missing from Thunderbird's client-side search), filtering by a mixture of things, etc.
I wish more clients had an option for server-side-only search (looking at you, iOS Mail.app) and/or had a nice UI for it (ctrl+shift+f dialog in Thunderbird is janky but gets results)
It's nice to see them add an option to disable this behaviour, now if only we could get an option to include Signal messages in iOS backups...
Not sure either of those capture the nuance of bad humour… ‘bad sense of humour’ can imply not finding anything funny or taking offence to jokes. ‘Bad humour’ in this context implies bad at being humorous, e.g telling dad jokes
Lightning ports very rarely fail or get loose - it’s more robust than usb-c in that regard, which is already a high bar - it’s probably dust in the port
Works fine on iOS safari, two finger drag to move
Turning off the firewall could just as easily be a unnoticed configuration error that causes it to die on startup
Parent poster is making the (good and underrated) point that NAT makes this logic failsafe: Turn an IPv6 firewall off and you’ve got all incoming connections allowed. Turn IPv4 NAT off and you’ve got no connectivity at all
The source sentence on cheese.com was: "It is the most popular Dutch cheese in the world, accounting for 50 to 60% of the world's cheese consumption."
The glorified autocomplete failed to detect the nuance in this (admittedly poorly written) sentence that the 50-60% statistic was of the world's Dutch cheese consumption
This is missing a good justification for digging into realtime processing. For me that was to create a DIY receiver, so the equaliser/room correction needs to happen quickly and consistently to maintain lip sync. I'm not sure it's quite so justified for an audio/music server
FreeBSD never crossed my radar as a viable platform for realtime audio processing, instead I had good luck with Linux + RT patch + Pulseaudio + https://github.com/bmc0/dsp. (Pulseaudio really shines in this kind of use case, will resample to correct for slight differences in input/output clocks etc)
Also an aside, "USB cable: WireWorld ULTRAVIOLET 8" is a controversial thing to mention
Please don't force low contrast ratios on users. Not everyone is calibrated to >100 nits and viewing your content in a bright but sensible ambient environment
The recommended grey-on-grey may be unreadably low in contrast when viewed on, for example, 0 brightness in a pitch black room, or in direct sunlight
The full SDR colour range is there to be used, this isn't HDR where you need to limit things to not blind your users
Realtek RTL8156 (USB 2.5G ethernet) is fast and rock solid, even for server use cases. I’d take it over an i225 any day
Thanks, I keep all monitors (laptop or not) at arms length for work/reading, but for gaming or other immersive activities a 13in screen needs to be closer to match the experience of a full size monitor
Never heard of nexstand but it looks suboptimal for keeping the small laptop screen as close as possible to your eyes
My preferred design is like https://amzn.eu/d/0KB8nGM (2x U shapes of metal), which lets you have the keyboard underneath the laptop , so the laptop is as close to the edge of the desk as if you weren’t using an external keyboard
for all intensive purposes
Always a funny one, it's for all intents and purposes
Probably no big deal for fire development, but throws a spanner in the works for successfully extinguishing it
Regardless of what started it, a car park fire with EVs involved is more concerning
