The Medium Saucepan is my favorite constellation.

Works opposite for me. Cross-eyed versions look correct, and the parallel/wall versions have inverted depth.

Same thing with magic eye images, they’re always inverted, like I’m looking into a mold of what the object is supposed to be.

Tony hawk games were the only other skating games, but they had button-press controls and goofy physics. Skate came out with much more realistic physics and the thumbstick flicking controls that made tricks feel purposeful. I think people who do skate (or wanted to) got pulled in for the realistic skating lines and tricks. There was also still enough over-the-top jumps and tricks to keep younger kids entertained.

EFT has like 100 different keybinds for every type of movement and action. Not uncommon to have ctrl, alt, and shift all set as different modifiers for 5-10 keys.

This has been the agreed-upon way to do things within the MS umbrella for a while. Not sure why they won’t just allow for setting a higher rate limit.

Each app registration in a tenant gets their own limits. Most backup platforms for an MS tenant have you register 4-10 apps so it can parallelize the backup load without getting rate limited.

They’re not actually getting rid of the XPS line, they’re just changing the naming convention.

Any of the new Dell models with ‘Premium’ in the name are going to be the same as the Dell XPS line.

Yes. If you don’t have hardware that supports AV1 decode, it gets sent to the CPU instead.

For homelab stuff, the responsibility falls on the server to transcode the media to whichever format the client device requests. That usually means being able to have ~2 simultaneous AV1 streams and maxing out the CPU.

With hardware decode, you could have 10+ streams.

Super oversimplified, but take an imaginary 1GB video file and it will compress roughly to the size below with minimal visual degradation.

H.264 -> H.265 -> AV1

1GB -> 600MB -> 350MB

Once Intel ARC cards are supported natively in UnRaid, I’ll be transcoding everything to AV1.

Hardware encoding for AV1 is really all that has been missing for it to be widely used for homelab setups.

LMABF8 spits straight ice water. Can’t be beat.

Klipper requires that the printer is running Klipper firmware.

OctoPrint can work with printers running Klipper or Marlin.

Main advantage of Klipper is that it moves all the gcode and movement processing off of the microcontroller on your printers main board. Also, Klipper let’s you update firmware settings through a config file without actually having to reflash the printers firmware.

OctoPrint works great as an easy add-on for a printer running the stock Marlin firmware. Main thing people want is wifi print uploads and camera monitoring anyway.

Not sure why Hawaii is included in this meme. Hawaii has only had 1 Republican senator since it became a state in 1959.

Nifty thing is you absolutely can do that if you’re using SharePoint shortcuts in OneDrive instead of SharePoint library syncing.

You can’t use both syncing and shortcuts at the same time though. Syncing libraries came first, so it’s typically what is already setup and is kind of a pain to transfer a whole org away from.

Pretty sure the legitimate campaign spending wasn’t what he was referring too.

The propaganda machine was also being funded by international entities (e.g. Tim Pool being paid by Russian state media employees).

Pretty sure most hosting platforms have egress costs on their cheaper VM instances.

I know Google cloud charges for bandwidth to AUS, and Oracle is 10TB of egress per month before charging (which I think is the most generous of free/cheap hosting platforms).

To be fair, I wiped out the custom CSS with RES when I was on there.

Couldn’t stand every subreddit thinking it was cute to change random styling for no reason. It was like the old custom myspace page days.

The X in .docx is for XML. MS Word files have actually just been zipped XML files for years now.

Pretty sure Rockstar allows community servers to disable the anti-cheat as well, just like single player.

The GTA RP community at this point is a considerable part of why people are still playing GTA.

Hawaii hasn’t had plastic bags for almost a decade at this point. Styrofoam takeout containers have also been banned since around COVID.

Some stores let you buy a paper bag for a few cents, otherwise it’s reusable bags you bring. Takeout containers have all transitioned to cardboard or PLA containers.
