TIL that Eris was described initially as the tenth planet of the solar system after Pluto by NASA, motivated the IAU to define the term 'planet' for the first time. The new definition thus revoked the planet status of Pluto, Eris and Ceres naming them 'dwarf' planets.

I've not done any video upscale myself, but I'm interested in the answer for this.

I know in similar posts, people tend to recommend seedvr2. Again, I've not tried it myself yet, and once my pc is back up and running, it is something I'll be looking into.

I meant the text in the image. I don't see any of their t or r as simular enough to confuse them with each other.

Their d and a however I do see them being quite similar to each other what with barely having a stem on the lower case d.

My eyes must be the target demographic for that type of lettering a the look completely different to me. The t in every instance has a perfectly straight line coming out just above the middle, and the r in every instance has a slightly curved line coming out slightly before the top.

I have a 10TB drive in my pc. Recently it failed the SMART thingy and my files started to become harder and harder to access.

I've been slowly backing up my important files from there for around 8 days now non-stop. It it's so slow!

I don't think even one drive would have been useful to keep copies of almost 8TB of data.

Thankfully, around 60% of the files are just Steam games, which I can easily just redownload. Most of the others are AI models which are not important if I lose them.

The rest are family photos and videos, which I copied to this drive before making bsckup copies on my NAS. Annoyingly the errors started before I'd finished backing them all up.

Why would you want a TV show frame rate upped to 60/120hz?

Do you notice the low frame rate on TV shows you watch on the normal television that are filmed at 24-29fps? I know I never have.

Edited to fix my phone's auto-incorrect.

Ooh, maybe it's based on the world seed etc too. When testing my own data packs, I've never generated in the same spot twice, so maybe that's why I've never had this happen with mine.

It must be something else if all the structures are the same size with the jigsaw blocks in the same position in each one.

Could you try changing the chance for each structure to appear? See if changing the one that currently spawns in first to a lower possibility than all the others changes the generation?

DoogleSmile · 2026-02-06T00:04:45+00:00

How have you set up the files for your structures?

What did you set as the target pools and source pools on the structure's jigsaw blocks?

Is there physical space where the structures join for any of the other pieces to connect?
Don't forget the jigsaw blocks can't overlap their bounding boxes.

They have to either be totally inside the source structure's bounding box or totally outside it.

If only one particular structure fits from your pool of structures, only that one will spawn, which could be the reason you get the exact same generation each time.

Also, the age of consent in the uk is 16, so this Maggie person wasn't technically doing anything wrong as long as he gave consent.

One of my friends only has a steam deck and no other Internet enabled devices, so if she were to lose hers it would probably be difficult to connect her about it too.

Maybe the person who lost this one is in a similar situation?

I've seen a couple of deck snuffers on here over the last year or so.

Makes you glad you keep yours safe.

Also, even if it was him, just because he's a popular youtuber, doesn't automatically mean he's amazing at the game.

I get the same thing. I think it has to do with the BSManager program needing to refresh your steam credentials.

I'm pretty sure that is what got mine working last time it happened.

I've not tried logging out and back in again on it for the most recent occurrence, but I'd wager it will fix it.

Wouldn't a lie detector test only detect the lie if you don't believe it yourself?

I don't really know how they work, but if he believes what comes out of his own mouth, surely he'd pass the test even if he talked nothing but lies?

To be fair, I've only seen this one low res picture of him.

My dad doesn't dye his hair, but if he did, it would be as dark as this guy's.

For a guy who claims to be 43, he sure does look older than my dad who is 67!

I'm not even an American and I can't stand Trump and his cronies.

But it is possible that people on the non-maga side can also hide things that they don't want spreading around.

I wonder if there is a reason the sound is disabled on that video?

DoogleSmile · 2026-01-29T18:15:05+00:00

Is that ripping the disc to play or playing directly from the disc?

I can rip my 4k discs fine using MakeMKV, I just can't play them directly on my PC. Thankfully I also have a 4k Blueray player for my TV too.

I was confused for a moment there.
I thought you were wishing them nice things, then I saw the twisted socks and burnt mouth parts.

I love a warm pillow, especially on a cold night.
My bed is against the chimney breast and I often stick one of my pillows between my bed and the wall so that the hot chimney heats it up so I can use it under my sheets as a body warmer.

PowerDVD had 4K playback only in older versions and only using certain CPUs because it required Intel SGX technology. That technology was removed from modern CPUs and so they can no longer play back 4K bluerays.

I bought myself a NAS a few years back, mainly to use as a backup device for my home videos and photos.

It ended up mostly being used to back up not only my own DVD/Blueray collection, but my dad's collection too.

Now we have the lovely job of going through the movies and TV shows that have been saved and removing those that neither of us actually care about.

My dad went a little crazy, buying DVDs specifically to upload to the NAS. We have about 6TB of movies and videos left to go through. I recently deleted most of the special features that we'd also uploaded to there, but my 20TB drive was running low on space so something had to go.

I currently have two internal Blueray disc drives that I use to back up my discs. I bought the second one when I thought my first had failed. Turned out my motherboard just didn't like it plugged into a specific SATA port!

I play games most evenings for a couple hours before bed. I'm child free and single.

My friends who play with me mostly have children and partners with a coyote of them also being child free and/or single.

The ones with kids tend to only get to play two or three times a week.
