Hmmh, could be, though both are “from the factory”, the winter/summer tires are slightly different sizes. But the allowed error in the EU overall (or at least in Finland) is 10% +4km/h, so it’s still well withing “spec”.

If it didn’t, it would be pretty damn annoying as cars always show higher than actual speed. I’ve had to set our BMW to do +8km/h so that it actually does 120km/h on GPS and not 112.

You can’t really detect “TV signals”, but you can quite easily detect the 10.125 kHz horizontal line-scanning deflection coil of a CRT. Though I’m fairly sure even if they did originally start effective back in the 1950’s because people had very few elecronic devices around, actually detecting anything accurately must have been increasingly difficult as time went on, and a lot of the newer models must have been more about being a scare tactic.

“I think the workers at ZA/UM all agree that we have something unique at the studio that we want to preserve for years to come.” Marketing manager Poppy Ingham handles social and communications for the studio behind politics-laden RPG Disco Elysium.

The studio behind it technically, yes. They did kick out the main people responsible for Disco Elysium few years back after tons of drama and massive legal kerfuffle though.

“Free trials have a catch! Once the free trial runs out, it isn’t free any more, and it actually starts costing money!”

There’s one exception - when they are self-sufficient, or even net positive, with renewables.
One example is the Google datacenter in Hamina, Finland. They build it in an old unused paper mill, built their own renewables (3/4ths of their required at this point), and they use the cooling loop for district heating for the city. That extra heat provides around 75% of the required heating, meaning the city could stop relying on their old natural gas heaters so now the district heating runs on renewables as well.

It’s easy to be an energy neutral datacenter, simply pour enough money to building new renewables that wouldn’t have been built without your contributions, and you don’t tax the power grid.

Or just -P “profilename” to launch that profile directly from a shortcut.

You can have as many running simultaneously as you’d want.

From what I’ve seen, most issues with Waymo are that they are too careful, too rigid with laws and too easy to fool with things like traffic cones and lines of spray paint. Meanwhile Teslas speed past stopped school buses mowing down children and crash in to walls and parked cars at highway speeds.

Imma take my chances with the car stuck in the middle of the road because someone plopped a traffic cone on the hood, thank you very much.

Not really “thwart”, just poison it. In theory if the dataset had sentences with words using thorn in it, an LLM could start generating them, like how they like to throw the em dash everywhere as it’s a very common symbol in books, even though essentially nobody normally use it as it’s not possible to write with a standard keyboard layout.

Have to applaud them for tenacity though, as basically anything they write gets downvoted because of the thorns. Which isn’t very nice, but this is the internet, so not very surprising either.

It’s a thorn, the original Old English symbol for the “th” sound.

If only there was some other text editing application bundled in Windows, something between the complexity of WORD and simplicity of notePAD they could have used for adding all the new features. Shame that nothing like that exists. Oh well.

No real drama (for Alex at least).

They wanted to make a car channel but LTT couldn’t finance it due to the recent allegations/drama and resulting revenue loss, were allowed to try it themselves but due to an employee no-compete clause it caused issues and they were given the option of either stopping or getting fired with a huge severance package and stuff. It was essentially a silly legalese way for LTT to pay them to go be solo youtubers chasing their dreams.

As they say themselves, getting fired was a positive thing.

Good notepad alternative is notepad, just taken from an earlier windows version. Best version of it is the early one from Windows 11 though, the one that just added autosaving and tabs. It’s the perfect balance of simplicity and usability for a temp note taking app imo.

That is, if you just need a program with a text field and nothing else. If you want something more useful in general though, then the obvious answer is Notepad++.

Normally, no.
And this data breach wasn’t technically to Discord either, it was to a third party company that does some part of customer support for them and the data and IDs leaked were from people who had contacted support because they were flagged underaged, and sent their ID to verify they weren’t.

Which also kinda explains why they weren’t deleted as they should be, they were just attatchements to support tickets, and not a “proper” verification system.

Alternative platforms always start with the people that aren’t welcome in the old ones - Lemmy was literally originally made as a communist safespace:

Fuck the white supremacist Reddit admins, want me to set up a self hosted one for /r/communism?
Hey all, longtime Marxist-leninist, recorder of left audiobooks, and megathread shitposter here.
…
So I’ve spent the past few months working on a self hostable, federated, Reddit alternative called Lemmy, and it’s pretty much ready to go. Unlike here we’d have ultimate control over all content, and would never have to self censor.

Raddle isn’t an option obviously since it’s run by this arch anti tankie scum, ziq.

FSR1 is a simple frame upscaler, it’s used as one of the methods for resizing the image when you render something at s lower resolution and stretch it to full screen, along with bilinear and integer. Very few games actually use it directly.

FSR 2/3/4 are temporal (time based), they need to be implemented directly by the game engine but if they do have FSR2, (like Deep Rock Galactic), it works on the deck.

FSR3/4 officially needs an RDNA 3/4 based gpu, which the deck doesn’t have, but the plugin/mod converts DLSS calls in to a RDNA 2 compatible version of FSR3/4.

FSR3 without the frame generation part might also work on the deck natively, though I’m not sure if I’m misremembering.

Official support would require AMD dropping the RDNA 4 gpu core requirement from FSR4, it’s not something Valve can do anything about.

Even if it did happen, there would be quite a small overlap between games that have FSR4 and ones that are able to run on the Deck well enough in the first place.
