I wish my alignment with poutine would grant me Canadian citizenship…

Runabouts can be very awesome, but can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on in the UK where (in some places) they’ve added a bunch of traffic lights to their roundabouts? In my (admittedly limited) experience, they make them substantially worse, but perhaps I’m missing something?

Twitter is hot garbage, that’s only gotten worse since Elon took over, but this is really just a problem with government agencies/departments using social media websites as primary avenues of delivering information.

If you’re talking about Marvel Rivals, then it’s not made by a “Western developer”, but NetEase, a Chinese studio…

NVENC has a slow preset:

As they expand the NVENC options that are exposed on the command line, is it getting closer to CPU-encoding level of quality?

Then each executive’s AI can just review the slides. Then the AIs can send a string of pointless emails back and forth to each other, come to a consensus and share the decision in an email blast to the whole company.

Wait… why do we need execs again?

The title is a bit weird. On my first reading it makes it sound like two different people can have indistinguishable fingerprints. But after reading/skimming the article+paper, it seems like what they’ve actually done is been able to correlate fingerprints from different fingers on the same person.

So the title makes it sound like they’ve weakened the basis of fingerprinting as forensic evidence, when in fact they’ve developed a way to link the different fingerprints from the same criminal so that additional cases could be solved.

e.g. if a criminal only left a thumb print at one crime scene and an index finger print at another, this posed a problem for investigators because they couldn’t link them to the same person, but this “AI” approach can link those two different prints to the same person.

Firing someone “with cause”, but without any real actual reason (cause), is illegal.

I don’t think it shows any ads.

Must be a legit company. They have the 0.com domain!

Right, but non-alcoholic beer is good, because it tastes like hoppy goodness without the alcohol or calories.

Whereas white claw does not taste good, and this has more calories than many (better) seltzers (which already don’t have alcohol). So it seems like a weird move.

I assume they are just banking on their name recognition generating some sales, but I hope people go for some of the better options from smaller companies!

It’s 15 calories “better” than seltzer.

Seems like a weird move. The soda water/seltzer market has gotten crowded in the last few years.

Just have to coordinate with your neighbor and open both doors!

Yeah… it would be a nightmare. Maybe hauling stuff up to a balcony would work better.

I got one of their 100W chargers and it’s awesome. Can charge my MacBook from work, but is smaller than the bundled Mac charger.

Can power my personal surface + phone + wife’s phone.

It’s great!

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

This is really weird phrasing that pretends that Israel has no responsibility for their actions.

They chose to do this, they are responsible for what they’ve done.

Clearly they mean that they want the growth to be “sustainable”, not the company…

From the article:

The bad news is that the 6 GHz wireless spectrum uses shorter wavelengths. Short wavelengths are great for fast data transfers at close range, So, they’re great for connecting to your Wi-Fi 7-enabled HDTV a few feet away from your router

With a range that short, you’re not going to be doing much roaming around. It obviously has some use cases, but unless you need to be streaming data it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

The example we are discussing in this thread is transferring data off of a high res/high performance camera. For many situations this can be done after filming is completed, in which case a cord still makes a lot more sense. Hence my joke.

For live broadcasting it could be useful, but the range still seems quite limiting.

And the external wireless data transfer pack can be connected to the camera by a long thin piece of metal. Maybe we could call it a “cord”. And why stop there, it could be disconnected from the camera when you’re not transferring data.
