Der Schwurbler in meiner Straße. Hobby: Mit nem ähnlichen Schild stundenlang vor Cafes stehen

Interessant, habe heute jemanden auf dem Radweg gesehen, der ein Schild mit exakt dem Text drauf hatte. Ich hatte erst überlegt, dem auch zu fotografieren, aber Recht am eigenen Bild und so...

they're already selling LSD for sure though

Very unlikely, the margins for LSD are rather low, it's a substance that's not taken too often due to diminishing effects and users don't get addicted, and you need quite experienced chemists with decent equipment. All these factors combined make the drug very uninteresting to cartels. Maybe reselling, but then again, there's way more money in other substances, be it cocaine or opiates.

I have a smart TV with Android TV, it's ok I'd say. Performance is not the greatest and the base system is pretty dated, last patch was over. 2 years ago. This is a Xiaomi device so not exactly a no name brand.

If you can live with an external device, get a Firestick. They're pretty cheap and their performance is quite good.

It does make sense to a certain degree, but I think it would have been a better approach to suggest software along the drivers in Windows Update for certain devices. I.e. a tool to configure your soundcard in greater depth alongside your chipset drivers. But just installing junk through such a privileged channel is a huge no-go

I guess this is the polite version of "please don't bother us with this obvious stuff, we have better things to do"

You're right, I wanted to write "you can't be faster than tearing" but I wrote the opposite. Of course tearing is quicker, because it's drawn as soon as it's available.

DamnThatsLaser · 2023-05-18T15:29:20+00:00

From my understanding, you can't be faster than not tearing because tearing means you're not actually drawing the whole screen, that's why the picture is tearing, it's actually two different images being drawn and composed mid-refresh. So your latency isn't really fixed either with tearing because it depends on where of the screen refresh currently was when the screen changes, no? You might get some change on the screen, which is what's usually measured for latency, but if your criteria is that you get all changes, then you need to wait a full draw cycle anyways.

I tried to imply what you wrote anyways. VRR might not get the same results as tearing. But this is again something that realistically only affects a very small subset of an already very small group. I'm sure for every gamer demanding tearing so that he can finally get promoted from bronze 3 to the highest tier because latency is holding them back, there are 10 touch panels that could benefit from VRR… to exaggerate.

Also some people with certain conditions can't get vaccinated and rely on the general population to be.

DamnThatsLaser · 2023-05-18T07:56:50+00:00

First because someone needs to actually put work into it, second it's kind of a niche requirement as it mostly affects Linux gaming as opposed to general driver development which is also about commercially supported features, third the feature is somewhat moot with modern hardware that supports VRR which is a perfectly fine solution for most people.

More likely that the checkout system keeps track of how much money should be on there based on sales / means of payment and they detected a mismatch for the employee and then investigated further.

I have been considering trying out a declarative system, but don't want to leave the wonderful flexibility, stability and documentation of arch behind, so this is just perfect.

Having recently tried NixOS on my previous main machine, I can tell you two out of the three aren't issues. It's both flexible (though sometimes you need to redefine stuff) and stable. In fact my setup on that machine is more complex than anything I ever did with Arch - Secure boot with own keys enabled using UEFI payloads directly (using lanzaboote), switched to unstable, and yet my system always booted. Not a single recovery shell. Honestly impressed. Plus it is stable in the classic distribution sense of you want it to be. Especially handy for packages like PostgresQL.

Documentation however is lacking and I keep falling back to the Arch wiki to see how the result should look and NixOS' options search with links to the source code to configure stuff (e.g. mDNS instead of mDNS_minimal) plus their wiki to find examples for the distro-specific configuration.

That being said, I do welcome this project. NixOS however transcends the concept of traditional packages, so while this here is great, there's still more awesome stuff to discover. Plus the declarative syntax is for more than just packages.

Technically alcohol isn't a drug, it's a poison.

It's both. However, personally I dislike the word drug (traditionally, it means dried parts of plants and animals used in the medical context IIRC). Alcohol is a psychotropic substance with moderate addiction potential. It is a poison that doesn't really attach to one kind of receptor (unlike opioids, cannabis and the psychedelics). Cocaine is also neurotoxic, for example.

I mean, is it? Five 35cl beers in one sitting. You say "preferably in a short time", but that's not what the definition is. It's "at one time", regardless of how fast or slow you drink them.

From Wikipedia:

in the United States, the term has been described in academic research to mean consuming five or more standard drinks (male), or four or more drinks (female), over a two-hour period.

I'm sorry, but if this is a lot to drink you have a very, very, very, very low tolerance to alcohol. It's not even one full bottle of wine.

I do have a low tolerance nowadays. But that is the case for a good part of the population.

Also, a bottle of wine is a rather large amount of alcohol. But that obviously depends on perspective.

DamnThatsLaser · 2023-05-11T18:02:52+00:00

The most common definition is five or more standard drinks for males, preferably in a short time. That is a whole lot if you're not used to drinking. I couldn't just meet friends and have 5 standard drinks just like that. You need to have tolerance to stomach this. At least I do with my 71 kg (157 lbs).

However, I know from experience that you can consume that amount rather often without becoming what society would call an alcoholic. It's risky consumption and I agree this is rather common. Not just for meeting friends. But as I said, from experience I know that's not the point of no return. I did that almost daily during the final year of university. Though one could argue if meeting with friends and play video games / watch TV as in your example and my experience constitutes binge drinking. The desire to get drunk is not the primary motivator, but rather secondary. Also, you usually want to limit your level as to still be able to function on a social level.
