I find it interesting that you draw the line at software, as if it doesn’t require time and money to create software solutions.

If it matters, I’m of the opinion that patents shouldn’t exist period. Capitalism loves to brag about encouraging competition and how much it benefits consumers, when in reality patents are super anticompetitive. An idea is one thing, executing the idea well is another. If I “take” your idea and execute it better than you, there shouldn’t be legislation stopping me

Companies like Flock really should be forced to do some due diligence on whether a city ran a publicly-known vote before they fulfill an order for cameras

It means that multiple devices which are connected to the same TV can all control each other.

For example, say you have a streaming device (e.g. Amazon Fire Stick) and an audio receiver both hooked up to the same TV on different HDMI ports. With CEC, you could use the volume buttons on the streaming device’s remote to control the volume on the audio receiver. You could also use the power button on the TV remote to turn all three devices on/off at the same time.

How’s HDMI-CEC support in Linux? I remember that being a sticking point last time I considered building an HTPC

Apparently the latter… had no idea that’s what they were lol.

Looking back, most of my grilled food memories are from my dad and now that I’m trying it, I’m realizing he did a lot of stuff wrong. Under seasoned, over cooked, etc

Thanks for reminding me about beer can chicken though! Completely forgot about it

The Chernobyl miniseries used American and British accents. Who cares. Accents have nothing to do with how actors convey emotion

Nah it’s something they do intentionally for attention. Won’t be too long before you get an “ackchually” reply from them explaining what the character means

You gonna share some of that shrimp alfredo with us or

Fake: HR actually calling someone about a job application

despite having had 2 prior assassination attempts made

Which also makes the fact that someone was able to sprint through a security checkpoint very strange. You can’t even do that at Disneyland

I don’t have any doubt that the profit will come soon. Virtually every CEO is pressuring their employees to use AI as much as possible. Anthropic just has to crank up their prices to 11 and companies won’t really have a choice but to pay since they will have become so reliant on AI

Boiling is the worst way to prepare hot dogs. Even a microwave can produce better results. Boiling causes juices to leach out and the texture is no better than when it was taken out of the package.

Notice how boiling is not listed on this page: https://nathansfranks.sfdbrands.com/en-us/articles/hot-dog-blog/how-to-cook-the-perfect-hot-dog/

In public yes

At home, I’m wearing sweatpants or basketball shorts. Why do I need to wash if I’m only touching the front of my waist band

Pokopia is a Switch 2 exclusive while Tomodachi Life isn’t. I would’ve been down to play both but Nintendo still hasn’t given me much reason to buy a 2 yet

Forgot about this, thanks!

Is the Claude Code extension for VS code also using a compromised dependency? Or just the npm package?
