Yeah this article is hot garbage. What “biometric data” are they talking about??? Just images of people’s faces? My understanding is that it’s super commonplace in public locations, are people really that surprised?

Another fun fact: retinol is regenerated by your liver. Not your eyes, not some part of your brain, not some organ near your head like your thalamus which could probably get the job done if it tried, your fucking liver. Your eyes taking a while to adjust to the dark has basically nothing to do with your eyes; it’s because of the delay in adjustment by your fucking liver to produce more retinal, dump it into your vascular system and wait for it to hopefully reach your eyes.

This is fascinating, I had no idea that there was another mechanism at play to improve low light vision other than pupil dilation

I know haha was just joking

Well, not the person in need that’s getting transfusions of blood filled with microplastics.

Is this why pip packages are called wheels…?

Everything about this comment brings me so much joy

Seeing several of the most brain-dead people I knew in high school going into teaching really made me lose a little respect for teachers. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some great teachers, but this really explains all the shitty ones.

It always brightens my day when a bun alert crosses my feed.

The issue with these rpi clones is ecosystem and support. I hate overspending for rpis, but the time you save from being able to google a problem and finding somone else who had the exact same issue as you is invaluable.

Don’t use many (disposable) battery devices anymore, but in my anecdotal experience, alkaline leaks much less than carbon-zinc.

It’s against CloudFlare ToS to use CF tunnels for media streaming like this. You can risk it ig but I have important stuff like domain registrations on CloudFlare so I’m personally not willing to risk getting banned.

Yeah. It’s not like the show is pure cinema or anything, but I watch it casually every so often, watching this episode is not fun.

Transferred all my domains from nanecheap to CloudFlare and I’m saving like 1/3 of price on renewals.

Hate to break it to you but many of the major car brands have incredible amounts of surveillance happening in their modern cars coming out nowadays.

I switched from the default reader to koreader, and now I have dark mode (mine is probably about 8 years old and did not originally have this feature). Koreader has so many features and qol improvements compared to the default Kindle experience.

In many countries, these basic needs would be a non-issue.

Yeah this is exactly me. Also a quick tip, if you’re on windows, there are some registry tweaks you can do to help prevent the GUI slowing down when lots of programs are open at once.

I built my PC recently and splurged to get about 100gb of ddr5, thinking it was going to be a waste of money.

I couldn’t have been more wrong, there are occasionally times when I’m almost running out of memory. How? Multiple desktops, each with tons of programs and stuff open, including probably like several hundred Firefox tabs open at the worst of times.

Basically, extra ram has allowed me to kinda postpone the responsibility of having the close programs, maintain cleanliness, etc. I still have to stay organised using desktops so I don’t go crazy with the number of things I have open, but I’m the limiting factor here, not my computer. And that’s a super liberating feeling.

TL;DR: you can NEVER have too much ram.

“Good Squad” is peak headline. They do look like a bunch of gooners.
