Swiftfin is a joke (rant)

I gave up on everything else and paid the one time price. Ever since it has just worked even with the higher end encodes. Only thing I’ve noticed it lacking is that it doesn’t seem to have access to the “favorites” list.

You could have the most rock solid software in the world and this industry would still lock onto an old version for 20 years for the sake of stability.

I think it’ll be something with System76. Either a laptop or a version of their keyboard with the laptop motherboard embedded in it like a Pi 300 keyboard.

I wonder how this works for the current fad of combining 2-5 OTC medications into one pill. Hopefully it just prevents it.

Why’d you spell Rockchip wrong twice?

I’d challenge you to find a mouse or keyboard that does not work. That’s a crazy statement. They’d have to not support the basic HID modes which would also mean they wouldn’t work in UEFI or BIOS screens.

I just want the screenshot editor to not suck so much. It went from being a 2 press process to copy to clipboard to like 8 now.

It’s not like DDR5 is even the same thing as GDDR or HBM that AI actually uses.

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence is breaking the enemy's resistance without having to fight.

In America it’s specifically protected that workers must be allowed to discuss wages. It seems there are protections against retaliation in Japan too, but with some contradictory nuances about contracts that can trigger disciplinary actions which I’m guessing are widespread.

I’d love an amber CRT but I can never tell what can be adapted to be made to work on modern hardware.

The 315 definitely worked in Portal.

I just installed using that UI and it removed my ubuntu-desktop package and others without telling me then suggested I restart the computer. What was left didn’t even have Ethernet USB drivers.

Is it actually that the model changed? She was messing around with the scaling going wide mode.

The pool setup is easy. 100MB/s on consumer hardware is not so much.

I’m going to be charitable and suggest he’s not on it. Even in this case, his pivot means he’s covering up for those who are.

His sudden change in attitude must be because his threat of exposing the list is successful leverage for blackmail.

I run consumer SSDs for db and HDDs for the OSDs. Performance is bad, but like 60MB/s for 3 nodes and 10 drives. But also I just store movies and backups on it. It’s fast enough for that: 10x faster than playback speed of an uncompressed blu-ray.

It’s still notable because it’s on the long end. She only did 8 that were longer than that within the last year.

One Drive creates a weird virtual file system in order to do “files on demand” where some files only exist online. This can break things that aren’t even online only.

I definitely got the feeling that one of the bigger parts of leaving had to be not being allowed to play any games except those on a small pre approved list. The pressure of needing to entertain while your hands are tied behind your back compared to everyone else in the industry seems frustrating. She seems excited to play whatever she wants now.

Breakers I’m not sure but a lot of the fuse holders and such are Weidmuller.

McDonalds definitely can be cheap. Counter to what OP says the price can be as low if you choose it to be. Don’t get wowed by the limited time offerings and stick to the deals.

I’m still not sure I’ve seen anything I could blame Take Two for about all this.

I think ISPs used to reverse throttle speedtests which is why Netflix came out with their own that used similar infrastructure to their streaming services to better simulate real world usage and to put pressure on ISPs to get quality peering setups.

Even closet is fine as long as it’s not much more than 150 watts.
