He just mentions Elon knows computers very well.

Which is proof it’s just more nonsense.

Maybe I just start a blog or something and scream into the void.

Yep, if not to convince anybody else, then as a way to write your thoughts and stances down. A record of the things you believe in.

Both 4G and 5G support low frequencies.

Yep, and they’re in use too. Telstra/Optus/Vodafone all run 4G at 700MHz (compared to 850/900MHz for 3G). It’s slightly different for 5G, Telstra use 850MHz while Optus/Vodafone use 700MHz.

I love a good detective game.

It’s in my backlog, so at my current rate I assume I’ll get around to it within 20-30 years.

I hate political games. That’s why my favourite is Fallout New Vegas, no woke politics, just a good, simple tale about a man delivering a package.

Stuff that’s spec compliant has to follow the rules, non-spec compliant stuff can obviously do whatever, so yeah the cheap cables off ebay or amazon won’t use the right logos.

It’s USB2, so either for charging or simpler devices that don’t need USB3 (Like keyboards).

Edit: Federation issue? I swear there wasn’t an existing reply when I responded.

Better, kid friendly urban infrastructure like dedicated bike paths protected from car traffic, better pedestrian areas, parks and so on. Kids will get outside their house if there is a kid friendly outside. A greener, more human friendly outside where you can socialize with other humans would always be preferred over doom scrolling online.

Good luck with that, people and politicians love cars, parking lots and highways, and the media is demonising kids as criminals.

I absolutely adore the art styling of the Loki show, half the time while watching it I was focused on background props. I hate to say it, but one of the reasons I bought the 1:6 TVA Loki figure is that it comes with a tempad and TVA computer.

That’s a fan recreation, but still.

Qt is overkill if all you’re using it for is to create a window you render into, something like SDL would be better.

I do love a good storm.

They were a bit too public with “Dual_EC_DRBG”, to the point where everybody just assumed it had a backdoor and avoided it, the NSA ended up having to pay people to use it.

Unless all the other hardware is bespoke, it’ll use the same drivers as it would if it ran x86 or ARM.

What about this?

It’s not like they’re going to change when you’re not looking.

I’ve never understood why it’s just Apple that seems to get the blame for using Foxconn, they’re estimated to make 40% of all consumer electronics. Nintendo uses them for all their consoles (since the GameCube), Sony use them for their hardware (TVs, the PlayStation, etc.), MS for the Xbox, Amazon for the Kindles, Google for the Pixels, etc.

I don’t want this to sound like whataboutism, but I’ve just literally never understood why people seemingly overlook all the other companies using them to place the blame solely on Apple.

It’s not like macOS or Windows are any different there.

Which replaced Google Play Music, which was actually good.

Pretty much, you can use something like ImageMagick’s compare tool to quickly check if the round trip produced any differences.

It can be a bit muddled because even if the encoding is lossless, the decoding might not be (e.g. subtle differences between using non-SIMD vs. SIMD decoding), and it’s not like you can just check the file hashes since e.g. PNG has like 4 different interchangeable ways to specify a colour space. So I’d say it’s lossless if the resulting images differ by no more than +/- 1 bit error per pixel (e.g. 127 becoming 128 is probably fine, becoming 130 isn’t)

The funny thing is, I knew something was off because Windows was generating correct thumbnails for the output files, and at that time the OS provided thumbnailer was incapable of generating correct thumbnails for anything but the simplest baseline files.

(Might be better now, idk, not running Windows now)

That’s how I knew the last encoder was producing something different, even before checking the output file size, the thumbnail was bogus.
