Metric units aka SI units aka sanity

The bots faking real users' streaming to gain profit is the questionable part. AI generated cheap content (created en masse for profit) will be the norm soon. If you think about it, quality content is already the exception.

Late to the party: Scary Movie

Angry upvote. It fits.

Great movie, but what makes it about the 90ies.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Has an 80ies vibe to me. I had to check, it was made in 94, but towards the end of the decade, pulp fiction already felt old, a classic.

Beef broth

It may depend on what man mean by 'most hearty'. Aren't all soups hearty?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly. (Style varies a bit between hot and cold climates)

UV proof t-shirt for midday swimming

Like a swimsuit but covers shoulders and arms. If you get sunburned easily, this can save your skin. Sunscreen works, but it's not perfect in the water. Most people don't use one, but then most people have unhealthy bright red sunburns

work without confusing anyone.

While 1.000 or 1,000 can be read as 1 or 1000.

The only reason trains are not self-driving is humans designed the whole system in a too complicated way. Trains had all the ingredients for safe self-driving for decades.

 

Today, I enabled quad9 dns for my home network, and archive.today now requires a captcha, which results in an infinite loop.

A similar problem was reported some months ago for Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1

Posting here to see whether it's just me or everyone. Is this a know problem?

 

Wanted:

  • large screen
  • good battery life
  • great camera
  • long device lifetime, i.e. repairability, software and security updates, swappable battery, ...
  • enough RAM (8GB) and built-in storage (256GB)
  • SD card slot and 3.5mm won't hurt (but we use wireless headphones all the time)

The competition are (from my POV):

  • Samsung S23+ (or similar)
  • Motorola Edge 40 Pro (or similar)
  • Google Pixel 8 Pro

I ruled out all other vendors due to disappointing update promises. Motorola with 4 years security updates promised (out of which the first year has already passed if the model is not brand new) is the minimum.

All phones are stretching the budget; must be really good to justify the expense. Benchmark for "great" is better than the previous generation (S10).
