What would that look like? Genuinely not sure what you're suggesting. Do you mean a PS4 purchase means you have it for life and they must support it (or at least not revoke it)? Or you also get it on PS3/4/5 (as applicable)? Or you get it on PC and Xbox too?

What do you stream it to? I tried the Google Streamer 4K and it was terrible. I couldn't work out if it was latency on the Streaming side or PS4 Controller via Bluetooth latency (or both). It took forever to set up and frankly it just wasn't that good.

Their flagship devices used to be split into two lines - Epix (AMOLED) or Fenix (MIP). The latest Fenixs (8 series) are AMOLED like the Epix, so you can't get MIP anymore in those lines. I can't speak to their other lines, frankly I've never understood their naming and what each line supposedly does.

Is this like a modern GetRight?

GetRight is possibly the piece of software that planted the seed of fascination with computers and software in my head at a young age. It blew my mind that someone had made an app that could fix Internet Explorer dropping downloads mid-way through on my dial-up connection if my Nanna sent a fax to my Mum whilst I was on the PC.

Posted elsewhere, they have tightened regulations to clamp down on the "franken-shoes".

40mm stack height maximum One carbon plate only (some shoes were including a second). Must be on sale to the public for < 4 mths before the race in question

Puma makes a shoe that's non-compliant with the above (two plates, not sure about the stack height), for what it's worth.

If anyone's interested, the shoe being purchasable by the general public is a condition of them being deemed legal for pros, after a crackdown on Supershoes a few years ago.

The other conditions as I recall are there is only allowed to be one carbon plate in them and a maximum stack height of 40mm.

It really is incredible that Nike kicked off this Supershoe arms race ten years ago and spent (presumably) an incredible amount on R&D, marketing and hype to try and complete the mission of being the first shoe to go Sub-2, and Adidas has pipped them at the last minute... twice in one race. Oh to be a fly on the wall at HQ today...

Though I assume they made a lot of that cash back in the interim selling these things to weekend warrior suckers like myself!

It looks like not (you'd assume they'd have called it out if it was). I really don't understand the utility of a touchscreen without a 360 degree hinge.

I migrated from Notion to Obsidian, mainly because of speed, and to a lesser extent I like the philosophy.

Having simultaneously embraced AI a lot more, it's been incredible having AI very easily access and work with my notes for me (not to mention making the migration so much better by brute forcing a lot of the tidying and database formatting).

The only thing I haven't been able to replicate from Notion is my shopping list. It used to be one big database, filtered by "unticked". So I could add items, and ticking them would essentially hide them. Rudimentary grouping & sorting by clusters (frozen section, fruit & veg) was a small help, too.

A pretty simple implementation but I can't work out how to get that to work in Obsidian. AI had no ideas either than an extension (which I've already forgotten the name of) which didn't really do it properly (or at least elegantly). Am I missing something?

Actual Budget is incredible. Happy (now free since it's gone FOSS, formerly paying) customer since migrating from YNAB4 ~ 3/4/5 (?) years ago.

How does that prove that you only voted once? If I know someone's name and address (and by extension their electorate) I can rock up and vote as as many as I want.

Building coal plants doesn't impact emissions (materially, anyway). It's the using them to burn coal part that causes emissions (and generates electricity).

What era and which distro? I have one from ~ 2011... would be cool to do something with it.

I remember the first time I experienced this was an iOS app called Task Eater. It was simple To-dos. Attractive, snappy, everything you could need. The dev released a "final update" where he basically declared it was done. This was pretty early iOS (iPhone 4 era?).

The only problem is he never updated it to roll forward to future iOS version/iPhone models and it hasn't been usable for years (and years).

This made me search it up - the world moves so fast it's difficult to find any information on it whatsoever.

This is wrong, and by a long way.

It's uninformed mimicry. Someone very close to me (I won't name names!) bought one and did it the other day for their business and I was absolutely shocked when I saw their draft video. I asked them what they thought the clip was for.

It's a massive trend all over IG and TikTok these days as there's a lot of mobile-friendly consumer gear that brings your Social Media Content up a fairly large way for fairly low cost. Ironically, the mimicry probably spreads because those that know what they're doing partially or fully conceal it which is by definition less likely to be noticed and therefore imitated by first timers/novices.

Yep and funnily enough it's less subtle/aesthetic than before. The letters appear as big yellow stickers over each UI button, making them very easy to find & learn.

Nah I appreciate that. And you're probably right. Only reason I hadn't looked into it was:

a) I didn't know if it could simulate the "Alt Codes" i.e. Alt + 3 separate keys in quick succession.

b) There's 50-100 I'd need to replicate (and arguably all of them as I pick up a new one every short while and it would be nice to be able to universalise them and be able to go back to Excel any time).

c) Even if a and b were no issue, I haven't "mained" Libre Office ever so I'd want to be sure the juice was worth the squeeze and I didn't find that it was missing some key/edge capability (I believe some of the newer functions released for 365 might be proprietary... at least they aren't on Sheets).

Yeah, I do/did doubt this would port over the Alt Codes, though as you say I'm not sure someone couldn't just long-hand re-write the Alt Codes in either a mod/add-on/config file for any given Office competitor suite.

After all, the majority of the "mappings" are arbitrary/obscure anyway as only one option can "match" the letter (e.g. F is for File, so ForMulas needs to use M. I and D are used for legacy Office Shortcut compatibility so iNsert and dAtA use N and A respectively).

In other words, looking for a logic to these codes even in Office is a hiding to nothing anyway and it's really just a case of building muscle memory (or coming up with a bizarro-logic that helps e.g. "A is for dAtA").

It would be incredible to just be able to install a "365 Mode" or config where the full re-map has been done. I'm semi surprised this hasn't already existed for a long time, even to the point of being shipped built-in.

As a finance guy, this is a massive, massive impediment to me "maining" Linux. Without my long-ingrained Excel shortcuts I'm not getting very far. I was previously planning to investigate a couple of "containerised" ways to run 365 (the names escape me) and I may yet have to in order to be able to use the collab/live edit features of Office, but this is a big step if it does what it says on the tin. Thanks for sharing!

EDIT: On second look, it looks like this might only bring over the native/bespoke hotkeys rather than the "Alt Codes" which are the majority of (my) shortcuts? e.g. Alt + H - I - S for Insert Sheet. Will have to have a look at it properly

Was this AI? What was with the weird uncanny smoothing effect over the whole video?

That's ringing a bell. I think it might have been GTA London? I downloaded it and probably have it archived somewhere.

Not directly related to the topic, I spose, but I have a Model 3, and absolutely love it, but the Smart Cruise Control/Driver Assist is, I hate to admit it, pretty annoying (I think it's gotten worse, too). It's incredibly "jumpy" and over-cautious. A car could pull out in your way 300m ahead of you, totally safely, and the car will shit itself and slam on the brakes to be over-cautious. Same thing with pedestrians who are walking alongside the road, posing no risk.

It's so jarring at times that I'll often omit to use the Cruise Control if I have my wife in the car (so as not to give her car sickness) or other passengers (so as not to make them think I'm a terrible driver!).

I now have developed a totally new skill which is to temporarily disengage it when I see a mistake incoming, then re-engaging it immediately after the moment passes.

NB I am in Australia and don't have FSD so this is all just using Adaptive Cruise Control. Perhaps the much harder challenge of FSD (or near-FSD) is executed a lot better, but you wouldn't assume so.

I don't disagree with your broad comment but it's not hard to fix by slightly dispersing the control/responsibility.

1. Electricity moves for 5/10 min clearing intervals with defined caps at either end (currently in Western Australia it's simply 2 intervals, peak & off-peak). 2. Expose the pricing/market data via API 3. Develop existing home automation frameworks/tools/device IOTs/routers to access that. 4. End user grants permission/configures it on their smart phone when they set their dishwasher and washing machine on set up ("would you like to enable this smart-go button by connecting to Wi-Fi? It could save you $150 per year").

No control ceded to third parties to turn on equipment whenever they want, just allows the end user to cue jobs for when the PowerCo anticipates lowest prices.

PowerCo not any more of a honeypot for attack, at least not more than they are now with control over critical generation/tx/dx infra.

I thought the reason prediction markets were useful was not that people with inside information participate in them which can provide an indicator to the rest of us, but that by providing a sense of consensus at scale we can more accurately predict things.

e.g. two sports teams participating in a fair match tomorrow, someone runs a book and after 200,000 punters bet, the odds are 90/10 in favour of Team A indicates that 90% of the time Team A is going to win that game.

This assumes perfect and fully available information with punters availing themselves of this info (or at least an equal split of passionate/casual/informed/wreckless or even slightly "inside" punters on each side).

How can we get HQ versions for a desktop background?

Incredible photos.

No it's not. The efficiency of an EV Motor > efficiency of ICEV motor. Even with 100% black coal. The carbon is reduced by about 30% IIRC (that number can and does improve as the grid greens).

I got to 3, then opened one of his YouTube videos in the "bottom" browser. Nothing seemed to happen then the audio started playing and everything slowed to a crawl. After closing the tab the audio kept playing and my entire PC became unusable until I rebooted. I'm not even mad, I'm impressed!

It's annoying they don't allow migrating in a data dump from Spotify (they do, but everything is tagged as listened to on the day of import...). My Spotify account is 10 years old but I only discovered Last.fm ~ 6 months ago.

What would be cool is being able to enter a ticket price, and keep a running count of financials to show how underwater you are on a net basis.

Could also change the cadence for tallying purposes (so 1 second = 1 week/fortnight/month) to keep track of how many weeks, months or years one has been doing this for. But that might get depressing!

I cancelled Netflix for this exact reason. 4K Netflix looks worse than 720 YouTube, yet I pay(paid) for Netflix 4K, and at roughly 2x what I paid for Netflix when it launched. It's genuinely a disgrace how they can even claim with a straight face that you're actually watching 4K. The last price rise was the tipping point and I tapped out after 11 years.
