Not only are the disadvantages many, but what the fuck even is the advantage?

They’re not taller (where height is the height of the cylinder), their diameter is larger. Since holders have the pin a fixed distance from the wall, this extension gives a few centimeters extra between the pin and the wall, allowing for the extra diameter

Do you by any chance happen to own a (plugged in) VR headset or another device that would consume a lot of USB throughput? I had the exact same issue with my g502 and my problem was that I had plugged in the headset into a port connected to the chip set rather than the CPU directly.

To diagnose, try unplugging every USB device you don’t immediately need, that sort of thing.

Well that’s the thing though, he claims he did a bunch of stuff at Microsoft and all of it is conveniently very fun to say in a YouTube video for views but literally none of it is verifiable. It would be fine if he was trustworthy but he’s also going around claiming “as an intern, I shipped a lot of major features” which that’s just straight up false, interns don’t do that.

At the very least, I would take all claims made on his wikipedia article that are not immediately followed by a citation with a massive grain of salt.

The fact he then went on to sell registry cleaners and support contracts is telling.

Presumably the mountains are generatable offline. The steam friend thing is easily bypassed by the infamous Spacewar loophole

Womp womp, bad game runs bad

The people playing Roblox slop are children without credit cards btw. We can’t have a discussion around piracy if we don’t take into account the fact that a significant part of players are minors who will literally never be able to buy the game legally (in the timeframe it’s relevant)

Yes, exactly. This is information that’s encoded by tone, and it is accounted for in the 7 bits per syllable (or lack of syllable, for periods for example). It was more of an example to show how if what you’re conveying is assumed to always be speech, the encoding you can use can be much more efficient.

On that note, a thing if forgot to mention is that speech assumes that what will be said is pretty much always valid. For example, sure, ascii has a lot more information density at 8 bits per character as you point out, but in reality it’s capable of encoding things like “hsuuia75hs”. If you tried communicating this to someone over speech, you’d find that the average speed you can do this drops dramatically from the normal 7 bits/syllable, where the ascii used in my comment’s text has been constant-speed. That’s one of the trade-offs.

You’ve stumbled upon the dark arts of information theory.

Sure, conveying “sandwich” in ascii or utf-8 takes 64 bits of information, but that’s in an encoding that is by default inefficient.

For starters, ascii has a lot of unprintables that we normally don’t really use to write words. Even if we never use these characters, they take up bits in our encoding because every time we don’t use them, we specify that we’re using other characters.

Second, writing and speaking are 2 different things. If you think about it, asking a question isn’t actually a separate (“?”) character. In speech, asking a question is just a modification of tone, and order of words, on a sentence. While, as literate people, we might think of sentence as written, the truth is that speech doesn’t have such a thing as question marks. The same is true of all punctuation marks. Therefore, a normal English sentence also encodes information about the tone of the sentence, including tones we don’t really know how to specify in text, and all of that is information.

This is the linguistic equivalent of kolmogorov complexity which explores the absolute lowest amount of data required to represent something, which in effect requires devising the most efficient possible data encoding scheme.

At some point during Skype for business end of life, both teams and sfb were operating on the same protocol and that explains a lot of the weird design of teams

You can strip exit data in less than 1ms on a phone processor in 90 lines of js btw https://github.com/Coteh/exifremove/blob/master/src/exifremove.js

You’re delusional if you think FAANGs don’t harvest the shit out of every single but of data they can get on you, including exif.

Also musk did claim the election was stolen in his crash out a few months ago

Would be better if the flag was something like the italian flag

I think (hope) sigma grindset is a joke, in the way that it makes fun of entrepreneur influencers by being so out of line it can’t possibly be true. I have however no proof to offer.

Every site that allows image upload in existence now strips this data by default, but they do it on their server so they can get it first.

Me when I can’t look at dates

It does hurt but like licking a 9V battery hurts.

That was clear. Your distribution (or flathub) takes care of distribution (shocker, I know), so there’s no costs associated with publishing a new update.

This is linux, updates comme free with your OS.
