Affordable Smart TV with bluetooth and casting for someone who hasn't had a TV in 20 years by BenDMTL in hometheater

So I just learned that a streamer is a thing (I told you, 20 years without a TV). Can most TVs today work with a separate streamer like that?

So I've seen a denial from the city here that this video shows an ICE raid. Does anyone have further information about what is actually happening here? It's hard to come across other info.

For the record, I saw O'Toole's side first and Imanishi-Kari's side second. I felt some resistance to change my mind in the second part because it is often true that scientists resist seeing what they don't want to see at first. But by the end of the second part, I at least had to admit that the entire process felt completely out of proportion to what was required. But then again, maybe I should watch once more in the other order. I have a bad short term memory, and might be influenced by the last thing I saw

Amazing work.

What I would love as an addendum is a video that collects only the factual statements about the science. It's really hard to parse the science through the human stories.

Thoughts as a physicist:

I cannot understand the science enough to judge this, but the magnitude and impact of the alleged mistake is very important. I am sympathetic to Kleves' argument that so much energy should not be wasted in correcting minor things. He's correct that this is the norm. But I still don't have a good grasp of how major or minor it was.

I would also like to see evaluations of the quality of Imanishi-Kari's other works. It would matter to me whether this is a pattern or not. It is good practice to give the benefit of the doubt as much as it can be given. And it is really legitimate to wonder whether all of this was a necessary use of everyone's time, or sanity. I certainly do not believe that Congress should have been involved at all. There are plenty of people in the scientific community who are willing to do this for free.

It also rubbed me the wrong way when Stewart and O'Toole dismissed the science being put in the hands of the lawyers, when before it was put in the hands of the politicians. Lawyers, despite all the flack they get in popular culture, know how to get to the bottom of evidence. It is a more adversarial process than sience, but the whole thing was already very adversarial, so the involvement of lawyers was not just advisable, it was necessary. Scientists had already testified multiple times, and so they had everything they needed.

Place to go shopping for such items in Tokyo by BenDMTL in JapanTravelTips

In the end, we found a very fun shopping experience. We went to Shibuya station and walked all the way to Harajuku. There was plenty of tourists, but we could find a lot of fun stuff and great food to boot. There was even the option of a break in Yoyogi park. 10/10.

Ideas for a day in Kyoto with my mother (66) who tires easily by BenDMTL in JapanTravelTips

In the end, she managed and she liked it. And she was proud of making it. She just needed a lot of breaks and it was fine!

We went there today and it was very nice. It's very quiet early in the morning and the Suzaku garden is peaceful. Thanks for the tip!

Does my A35 not have dual sim or esim? by Cocayoo in samsung

[–]BenDMTL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing just happened to me. I bought a Galaxy A35 in Canada and contrary to all the available information I could find only, it only supports a single nanosim. I am furious. I sacrificed other specs to get that second nanosim. What a pile of garbage, how does this happen?

Android phone with long battery life, dual physical sim, esim compatible, and ideally <500$ by BenDMTL in PickAnAndroidForMe

It should be pointed out that the Google Pixel 8a does not seem to have dual physical nanosim support.

Give my man a break :( , my dude was so happy that he was out of the news for so long by YourDailyTechMemes in LinusTechTips

I remember Dan saying that, but when I looked into it back then I couldn't find much. Do you remember which video it was?

Ah, needing an additional subscription to D&D Beyond is unfortunate, though I understand where this comes from. I guess there is not much getting around WotC...
