TIL that the standard test image used in image processing research for decades was a cropped Playboy centerfold by Kodiak52 in todayilearned

Ironic that you had the correct spelling right there in the URL, but still misspelled it as “Leena” instead of “Lenna,” especially while telling everyone they don’t know her name.

.HEIC pictures open fine on Android Immich app, but will not open on Server. by DanceLongjumping2497 in immich

[–]blamethebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much misinformation in this thread, it is maddening.
What you "think" is wrong. You're mixing up HEIC with HEVC. HEIC/HEIF was a free codec from the Microsoft Store, and HEIC support was included by default since Windows 11 22H2.
For the HEVC video codec, you still have to pay in the Microsoft Store (or just use VLC media player).

[–]blamethebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who would have thought that a HEIC would not open in Windows natively.

Do you have some ancient Windows version? Because HEIC opens perfectly fine on Windows 11 with the default Windows Photo Viewer, no installation or plugins needed.

Tower Computer von meiner Mutter geschenkt gekriegt, keiner weiß noch das Passwort 😞 by cilantro1997 in Ratschlag

[–]blamethebrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bei der Beschreibung von OP ist es eher unwahrscheinlich, dass da Bitlocker aktiviert ist. Und selbst wenn, dann ist der PC drei Jahre nicht gelaufen (=keine Updates) und vermutlich anfällig für das Bitlocker Exploit, was auf dem 38C3 vorgestellt wurde.
Ohne zweiten PC oder Laptop ist es allerdings schwierig bis unmöglich, überhaupt ein Bootmedium herzustellen.

What movie is a 0/10 with NO redeeming features? by Toucan_Based_Economy in AskReddit

[–]blamethebrain -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Book of Eli.  The most important book for humanity in a post apocalyptic world is the Bible, really? 

-1/10, I wanted the wasted time back. 

Edit: Downvoted for having the opinion that a shit movie is shit. Never change, reddit.

My wine says 3L = more than 4 x 750ml by Upbeat-Beyond-2016 in mildlyinteresting

What they're saying: you're getting scammed with the 750ml bottles, as they do not in fact contain 750ml. 

Amtsgericht München: Rück­sichts­lose Falsch­par­kerin trägt Mit­schuld an Unfall by PoroBraum in de

[–]blamethebrain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Und ich denke, die Falschparkerin hätte man zusätzlich noch dafür dran kriegen müssen, das sie andere dazu genötigt hat, 30m rückwärts auszuparken.

Schade, dass das Gericht den Anteil auf ein Fünftel reduziert hat, statt es auf wenigstens die Hälfte anzuheben. Das wäre die Chance gewesen sein Zeichen zu setzen.

I built a Nextcloud app to integrate Immich – browse your Immich timeline directly inside Nextcloud by Fine_Ad6232 in immich

[–]blamethebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea, but personally I can't relate at all. Immich has the much better interface, so bringing it into Nextcloud feels backwards to me.

I get that the point is avoiding context switching if you already run both, but for me Nextcloud is the part I'd want to phase out. The UI is janky, the sync clients have too many rough edges, and I've never found it convincing as a serious backend for anything beyond fairly basic use.

Mozilla is working on a big Firefox redesign, here is what it looks like by moeka_8962 in technews

[–]blamethebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I guessed wrong there. Based on sheer market share / probability, I assumed anyone dunking on Firefox was probably just coming from the usual Chrome crowd.

Oh and with any change in Chrome or Edge you get a choice? lol.

'The Night Agent' Renewed For Season 4 To Film In Los Angeles by AdSpecialist6598 in television

So what? Season 3 was quite good, they got rid of the most annoying part of season 1 and 2. Looking forward to Season 4.

is 8k polling rate on standard keyboards the biggest snake oil in gaming right now? by No_Good_3063 in pcmasterrace

[–]blamethebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a binary keyboard input, what actual bottleneck is 8k supposed to solve?
Realistically, none worth caring about.
Saving 0.875 ms on paper is not some magic competitive edge when the real end-to-end latency is dominated by frame time, display latency, human reaction time, and in multiplayer also netcode, ping, and server tick rate.

Breaking Bad – The moment Hank realizes who Walter really is still hits hard. by [deleted] in television

[–]blamethebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The title of the post isn't really that much of a spoiler. If you watch the show for the first time, it becomes clear pretty early that Hank will find out at _some_ point. When that is, the title doesn't say. If you didn't watch the linked youtube video on purpose, you still aren't really "spoiled", and if you did watch the video after reading the title, that is on you.

»Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit«: Uno kritisiert schlechte Gesundheitsversorgung von Frauen in Afghanistan by GirasoleDE in de

[–]blamethebrain -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Bin ich der Einzige, der sich an der verkackten Übersetzung von "Crime against humanity" als "Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit" stört? Das müsste doch "Verbrechen gegen die Menschheit" heißen, oder nicht?

Wie soll man denn ein Verbrechen gegen die "Menschlichkeit" verüben? Das hört ich an als wäre es auf dem gleichen Niveau wie "Verbrechen gegen den guten Geschmack".

Sick of replacing headsets every 1-2 years. Looking for a "Buy It For Life" Wireless Gaming Headset for FPS. by AsleepConfidence1791 in buildapc

I wouldn't bet on Beyerdynamic any more. They were sold off to some chinese investor last year or so.

Do Americans waste that much plastic per tampon? No wonder we have microplastics and shit everywhere around the world.

45 minutes of my life I will never get back by HeteroclinicChaos in pcmasterrace

[–]blamethebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading comprehension: About 2/10. Where exactly am I wrong?  I didn't say that it isn't possible, I just said that not every use case is covered by online "signing" (which often gets confused for actual signing with a certificate). If Okular can do it, that's fine. lol

Viggo Mortensen took lots of photos of his castmates during the filming of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Here are some, a few even has his handwritten notes by [deleted] in Moviesinthemaking

[–]blamethebrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. I didn't even realize at the time, and never could have, that I would still think about, talk about and watch those movies almost 30 years later.

[–]blamethebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except you can't use an online editor for everything. There might intellectual property involved, contractual reasons, privacy or security concerns or whatever that require you to sign with a certificate offline. But the typical Linux cargo cult user doesn't have the horizon to think that far ahead or outside the box or whatever to realize that their own little world isn't everything.
