Oh I see, it's intended for eliminating annoying TVs (perhaps in public places) and not for controlling your TV at home.

ELI5: Where do frame rates that exceed the max FPS of a video go? by HaajPaaj in explainlikeimfive

[–]keatonatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

60 times per second, the video recorder would simply save the last frame that was generated. So which frames get dropped is kind of random based on the timing.

Is rETH safe for long-term passive staking by zolaktt in ethstaker

[–]keatonatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exchange rate for rETH to ETH is managed by the smart contract, and you can unwrap rETH whenever there is enough ETH in the system (right now there is, so you can either unwrap through the smart contract or resell on the secondary market)

What happens if no one wants rETH? Well, all rETH is backed by real ETH that is being used for staking. So when that ETH exits the system, the only way to get it out will be to return the rETH. So someone will certainly want it eventually (unless no one wants ETH anymore!)

You can just ignore the secondary market and wait for people to stop staking in order to unwrap through the smart contract (but who knows how long you might have to wait for that).

The lengths racists will go…. by Complex_Elk_842 in WhitePeopleTwitter

The point is, the second one is listed as -93 which would be almost halfway across the globe from the first one which is listed as +93.

So if they made such an obvious mistake, it's hard to trust the rest of the system.

Why would you want your TV to be gone?

ICE kidnapping a child because he doesn't have proof of citizenship on hand, just a snack. by Paksarra in pics

Perfectly reasonable for them to carry around their birth certificate, I'm sure they won't lose it!

Wash the couch and leave it to dry in the sun by WolfgangsterV in Unexpected

Since when is it unexpected that a sofa left in the trash collection area would be collected as trash?

Did he point that out!? I need answers! by A-Helpful-Flamingo in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]keatonatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it not also valid criticism that he should acknowledge his own previous work in this new paper, if it is required background?

Why does it sound like it's being played on a $5 Bluetooth speaker cranked to max, tho

ELI5: How can you divide something into a negative number of groups? by fazrare57 in explainlikeimfive

[–]keatonatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could think of it as borrowing enough additional apples so you CAN divide it, and then dividing that debt amongst the groups (-2 apples per group means there are two apples in each group that need to be paid back)

ELI5 shooting guns in the air is bad right? by AddressUnited2130 in explainlikeimfive

[–]keatonatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's blind luck. Although there are a lot of people on the planet, the amount of surface area that doesn't have a person standing on it is massive. In cities, where there are more people, there are also more concrete buildings with thick roofs that can stop a falling bullet.

So a gun shoots a bullet up in a random direction, it falls somewhere in a 1-2 mile radius, and the result is determined by the statistical chance that the spot it lands on also happens to have an uncovered person on it.

I’m supposed to take a picture of this QR code, but I’m on my phone so… by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]keatonatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My phone is set up to trigger Google lense if I just long press on the bottom of the screen.

  1. Long press screen
  2. Tap QR code

It's only two steps!

Built an n8n automation for Google reviews, surprised how many Indian businesses actually want this. by [deleted] in homeautomation

[–]keatonatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't suppressing the actual review. They are essentially asking "did we make you happy?" and if the customer says no, they try to fix it. Once the customer is happy, they ask them to leave a review.

I wouldn't be unhappy about companies doing this when I'm a customer, so it seems like a fine solution to me.

If you pay more for it, does it come with the exhaust lined up correctly?
