If you want Dolby Vision you’ll need a device like the Shield, Roku, Google Streamer… the codecs are locked to those devices for raesons

- Comment on YubiKeys are vulnerable to cloning attacks thanks to newly discovered side channel 2 months ago:
Despite this affecting only FIDO and barely any Yubikeys are being used for that, it’s important to keep in mind that exploits and attacks get worse over time. For now it’s just FIDO and requires complex hardware and practically destroying the key. I wouldn’t be surprised if this exploit is just the beginning.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
I have no real reason to upgrade to 11 from 10. My system doesn’t have any hardware that 11 can take advantage of better than 10. At this point I’m just waiting for 11 to finish baking or 12 to roll out. 11 doesn’t natively have a vertical taskbar… like… come’on. Who needs a 32" wide taskbar?
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 6 months ago:
What you’re calling radioactive waste is a marketing term. In nuclear power it’s referred to as unspent fuel. We’re just getting to the point in our nuclear power technology to be able to use the rest of the “radioactive waste”. It’s why we don’t bury and seal off the storage sites. It’s still fissionable material with the right technology.

Depending on which point in Star Trek you’re referring to, for the most part the shows are about 400 years into our future.

I dunno what you guys are doing that makes your nextcloud die without touching it
Mine runs happily until I decide to update it

Protip for anybody who carries condoms:
The typical condom should ideally be kept for less than an hour in your wallet, pocket, or purse.
Condoms that are constantly moved or rubbed against each other can cause wear and tear, making them less effective. Extreme heat (around 104°F/40°C) can cause latex to become weak and sticky.
Not sure on the accuracy but it’s been good advice since at least the 90’s to not use a condom that has been kept in a wallet for more than a day.

- Comment on Nerds of equal standing. 10 months ago:
Yeah but you got like 22 episodes each season. One season of TNG is like half of the entire run of Discovery.

- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 11 months ago:
a cheap external DAC typically sounds better and has more power than the ones built into phones with a headphone jack. If you actually care about the audio quality from your phone then a DAC is more practical.
- Comment on Redditor finds heavy block of iron shavings inside cheap PSU, also appears to lack safety protections 11 months ago:
It’s a convenience factor I think. Send the whole thing away and it comes back working. Opposed to having to find the faulting hardware and determining the type of fault and dealing with the vendor for that specific part in hopes that it’s actually the issue.
- Comment on Redditor finds heavy block of iron shavings inside cheap PSU, also appears to lack safety protections 11 months ago:
Warranty is the biggest reason for a prebuilt. Anything goes wrong with it and you’re not spending money on things to test and experiment with. You send it in, it comes back working.

- Comment on Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth 1 year ago:
I think mine is undersized and close to 20 years old now. Reading your response is yet another reason I have to go through with upgrading everything.
- Comment on Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth 1 year ago:
I have an air sourced heat pump and it gets to -35C for a few weeks at time here. When it’s that cold it does produce heat but your breath is hotter. There’s no point in running it as it just doesn’t make any kind of useful heat. Below -10C the amount of heat it produces noticeably tapers off.
- Comment on Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth 1 year ago:
It really depends on the type of heat pump. Air-sourced heat pumps generally don’t produce heat below -30C and below -10C they generally lose enough efficiency that you’re better off using electric baseboard heating.
