Hi, I’m sbird! I like programming and am interested in Astrophysics and all things space. I also have a hobby of photography.

It’s where a guy is raising both their hands with big captions “absolute cinema” (the meme is usually used when something funny or engaging is happening)
Interestingly, in my search for interesting rockish and punkish music, I stumbled across an artist called Kino, a Soviet-era Russian band (that sounds really good, you should check it out!). On the Kino-related subreddits, I found edited versions of the meme that replaces the man with Viktor Tsoi, the now deceased singer from Kino (RIP to him, car accident at a young age) and the caption is “absolute KINO”, since the band is named after the Russian word for “cinema”. This alternate Kino variant of the meme has cropped up in a few other places too, funnily enough.


Ooh yeah Prusa is great! The upgradeability of their printers sounds super cool. I unfortunately have a Bambu printer, and although they sell repair parts, they are going very anti-consumer with recent changes, blocking third party software (so I have mine set to LAN only mode, primarily to continue using OrcaSlicer)

Oh no, the ducks have two heads each! /s
Seriously though, this photo looks awesome! Super cool


I think that a majority of users on the internet down vote if they see content that is not relevant, breaks the community rules, or simply not very nice.
p.s. “no stupid questions” is a play on the phrase “There are no stupid questions, Timmy!”, but of course you still need to be polite and follow the rules

I understand that, modern advertising bots are a pain, but I promise I’m not one of those! I’m just a person who’s interested in cool tech and stuff. If it bothers you, do I need to remove the reference to Gulikit?


…what does that mean? How can something be both artificial and organic?
edit: To note, I’m not a Gulikit bot/advertiser/marketer. There are some things that I don’t like about the KK3 Max controller, like how it doesn’t have a removeable faceplate like many other controllers at a similar price range (e.g. GameSir Super Nova).


English really is a funny language


The short answer is, to “lose” means to have lost something (e.g. “Did you lose your keys?”, but in this case it’s electrons) while to “loose” is used to describe getting something to be able to move freely / unstuck (which could arguably be used to describe the loss of electrons in a material, since you’re rubbing them loose)
So both spellings can work :D
Why is there a (presumably AI-generated) Earth on fire for the “end of the universe”, when the Earth would be way gone far sooner than that (that is, in a few billion years when the Sun blows up to a red giant)? It’s pretty misleading in my opinion, as it makes it seem like a doomsday apocalypse kind of scenario.
The catching on fire doesn’t make sense either, as the end of the universe will likely be very very cold (a heat death, some might say).


I’d go a step further, and say it’s a bad idea to recommend any Ubuntu-based distros. Yes, that means Mint.
Note that Mint released a Debian-based spin (LMDE)! Pretty interesting I think
My question would be for what time zone? That seems like an important detail


The Philippines were named after a Spanish king, King Phillip, or Felippe in Spanish. Given that the country was first controlled by the Spanish for ages, then the Americans, I’m guessing that at first the Spanish name for both the people and the territory was used, but when the Americans took over, the English-ified name of the territory was used, while the Spanish name for the people stuck as colonial powers use the name for the territory more often? Perhaps the Filipino diaspora also plays a role in this. I don’t know, just my guess.


Pretty cool that both brands show the charging spec on the cable! Props to Startech in particular for labeling that the cables are USB 2 data transfer speeds


Looking at the reviews, the silicone sleeving of these looks pretty cool! And quite neat that Creator Warehouse is able to compete with the bigger brands while not having a ridiculous price tag, the prices seem pretty good actually (but shipping to many countries will be higher, which is understandable as a smaller company). Hopefully they become in stock soon!


As I understand, Qualcomm chips are best supported, due to Adreno and Turnip drivers being more readily available. Mediatek, Exynos, and Tensor chips don’t have as good driver support compared to Qualcomm chips, so less games work. Also, Pixel 10 (i.e. Tensor G5) is relatively new, is a new architecture compared to older Pixels, etc. (G5 was made by TSMC while G4 was by Samsung I think? So likely quite different)


Samsung S24 Ultra onwards have the anti-reflective “matte” coating (diffused vs shiny) while the S26 Ultra is the first with the dumb “privacy display” feature.
It’s neat tech, but it significantly reduces the resolution when enabled, it has worse viewing angles when disabled (since half the pixels are less visible when viewing side on) and the feature is done better with a cheap screen protector. Pretty cool that you can use it for notifications, but I think that’s the only part-of-screen tinkering you can do with it, it’s that or the whole screen, so you could just set the notifications to hide message contents?
Image Toolbox is great! Bazillion different tools to do all sorts of stuff
