I had an issue with my 2016 Samsung TV where the interface slowed to a crawl and as soon as I disconnected the Ethernet cord it became responsive. I called Samsung customer service and they were able to reset my TV to factory settings without what I considered to be an adequate amount of authorization. I disconnected the TV again and banned it from my network and went with Apple TV.

He might be a lunatic but their economy has been tanked for a long time. They really didn’t have much to lose by giving him a shot. Businesses need to thrive in order to pay for the social safety net that Argentina wants so they need to get the balance right. Inflation was 300% in April and they say they expect it to be down to 122% by the end of the year. It’s a terrible situation they are in. Him being elected wasn’t because he gaslighted people into thinking an improving was bad so he can’t be directly compared to Trump or people like Nigel Farage.

This was my exact issue. I had a 5k2k screen and a 1440p and it choked. Electron apps (eg VS Code) were blurry.

Wayland development is crazy. The features it needs to include are those that Mac OS and Windows support. The debate should be around implementation, not the necessity. I’m still on Xorg in 2024 because of idiosyncrasies in Wayland that I don’t want to deal with, particularly regarding HiDPI and screen sharing. I personally wish Wayland were developed by the Pipewire team. Maybe something would get done.

So you want the trains to coast from station to station? Do you really believe that or is it very important for you to be right?

I started looking up other federal prisons. There is one at Terminal Island in the Port of Los Angeles that had such a reputation as Club Fed that they had to add barbed wire and armed guards in the 80s for PR purposes. Al Capone had a stay there.

To me this falls more under the category of non profit independent news, primarily local news where all the corruption happens. Report for America, reportforamerica.org, assists these local newsrooms and has a spot on their site that you can search for sites local to you. These local papers are interesting because their individual sponsors are often influential people in your community who believe in democracy and are concerned about the power of corporate media. I just checked out our local online paper like this and see the same names that I recognize for people I know who support the arts.

Now that Sony is releasing all their best games on PC, there isn’t much reason not to anymore. I personally have a PS5 because I already sit at my computer too much and that way my kids can use it too. I understand the complaints about PSPlus but to me it’s like splurging on a bunch of Steam games I’ll never play. Because Sony released their best games on PS Plus it saves me money because now I’ve been trained not to buy anything. They added Plucky Squire and Road 96 this month and we’ve had fun playing those.

I recommend the Tiny Desk concert. It’s where I first saw her. So talented with such unhinged presentation.

The wiki page for the prison is pretty interesting. Quite the rogues gallery of convicts who have had a stay there!

VFIO GPU Passthrough for Premiere is a must. While not trivial to set up, it’s not too bad if you know what to do. It took me some trial and error but didn’t spend too much time on it. Main issue is making sure your PC has enough PCIe lanes.

ETA: look into LookingGlass for capturing the framebuffer from a GPU accelerated VM into your Linux host. I haven’t tried getting this to work personally but I have used Moonlight which adapts Nvidia game streaming tech for your desktop apps.

Taking the fast train from Heathrow to Paddington was a revelation for me. Even the LIRR from JFK to Penn Station is good. Not fast but very consistent. LAX is like this cartoon. It’s only gotten worse.

Sometimes when IT only lets you hold a hammer, then by necessity everything looks like a nail.

Self-styled means “that’s what she calls herself”. Otherwise they would not include the qualifier.

Funny you said that. I saw her photo in the thumbnail, thought the same thing, and went down a Game of Thrones rabbit hole, came back, scrolled down and found your comment. Trump isn’t exactly a Stannis though.

After saying Jan 6 was his first day he said that’s what’s going to happen if the Democrats don’t change the law to require citizens to bring their passports or birth certificates to vote. His party will tell voters that the results are untrustworthy if they don’t add this overlay for the first time in US history. It was absolutely a threat. Pass our legislation or there is hell to pay.

Instead of Zuck vs Musk, maybe we ought to see Kelce vs Musk. That is offensive in so many ways.
