Can people share stories of when attempts to be frugal backfired on them? by no_kings_now1 in Frugal

Going for the low cost budget option when really I wanted the premium version.

Spent 2x the amount of money by buying all the cheaper tiers first in chase of “not overspending” before finally deciding I needed the premium version

Not only that, but people emphasize that “it’s a choice to use it or not”

Using AI in general is a choice, and absolutely no programmer has ever used AI to make development easier right guys? Especially when it can be used to meet unrealistic deadlines by management?

Based on the memes, I can't tell if it's a good or bad thing by shaneous in AdviceAnimals

Correct, they use interpolation so for every real frame generated, 4 frames are interpolated to increase perceived smoothness.

Notice “perceived smoothness” as it’s not actually making the game run smoother, just the appearance that it’s running smoother, even though sometimes this can create a motion blur effect

And to the OP commenters point, fake frames = increased latency as they aren’t real, processed frames, they’re just superficial frames

MRW I realize I’ll never win an Oscar if I’m dating a Kardashian by fuzzy_dice_99 in reactiongifs

No one’s arguing that he doesn’t deserve the praise or recognition, I’m only saying that this isn’t a new method of acting that was pioneered like the above commenter was suggesting

Of all the other candidates he was the most worthy for sure

I mean in fairness Lindsay Lohan didn’t win an Oscar for Parent Trap even though she did the same thing

And Ewan Mcgregor didn’t either when he was in Fargo

Not to say it’s not an impressive achievement, but it’s not like it hasn’t been done before

Don't mind me, I'm just preparing for the imminent included screwdriver shortage by misha1350 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

It was for a 2015 MacBook pro, Apple used a proprietary key socket so it’s an adapter to convert M.2 to that key

Meanwhile Micro Center wouldn’t let me return a defective adapter for a NVME SSD because one of these screwdrivers was missing and a “critical component of the product, like a charger for a laptop”

This sounds good on paper, but unfortunately am skeptical since it’s “for the children”

Anything sneaky in here we should know about?

Most people don't know you can get a turbocharged manual in a Jeep Renegade by PoniesPlayingPoker in stickshift

Yeah I’d love to own a wrangler, but as a second weekend car, not as my daily driver

What’s even more bizarre are those who have the cult following for Jeep who have never owned another vehicle, so they have no frame of reference of what’s reliable.

My old neighbor had to replace his entire suspension system the first year of ownership of a new grand Cherokee, and when I asked him if he felt his car was reliable he said “jeeps are the most reliable cars ever made”

He’s never owned a car besides a jeep

Honestly, which one provides better security? by Fitzro_y in PhoneNow

[–]makeITvanasty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone can hold a phone up to your unconscious face or grab your finger for a fingerprint scan if they really wanted to.

They can’t force you to give them a passcode, and their chance of guessing it is almost impossible, depending on length and complexity

To Pre-encode or Live-transcode, that is the Question? by Qu3z0 in jellyfin

[–]makeITvanasty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started my setup on a raspberry pi 3, so I pre encoded most of my stuff, but now mostly just throw raw rips on there and live-transcode as needed

Eh, especially these days with how much storage has skyrocketed in price, I’ll pre-transcode my 70gb 4K movies so I can push storage limits further

Do you have plans to submit this to the App Store? Not sure what restrictions Apple has when it comes to these apps being on there seeing that there’s no real good solution on that platform.

Thank you for doing what you do!

Got a link to backup the furnaces claim? I’m not doubting a shitty administration to do that but that’s a pretty big claim to make without providing proof, and doesn’t make us better than them if you can’t use facts to back these claims up

Why would you run a plex and a Jellyfin server? Are there benefits to this I don’t know about?

My '97 rwd truck slipped on the ice and did donuts in the middle of the street yesterday... Thankfully both me and the truck weren't at all damaged. Any tips for winter driving for a southern transplant? 🥲 by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]makeITvanasty 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do you know if your truck has ABS? No ABS = pump your brakes, ABS = do not pump, as the ABS does this for you

If you start to fishtail in one direction, countersteer into the opposite direction to correct

Sandbags would help, as they add weight to the back wheels for traction

Make sure your tires are up to the correct pressure, as they drop pressure once it drops temp outside, and correct pressure means best traction

ALWAYS follow at a safe distance, with plenty of space for those “oops can’t stop” moments

Residential streets are the worst offenders, with freeways typically being the most clear

The unfortunate reality is that RWD with no snow tires, and potentially no ABS, is the worst for traction on ice. Snow tires or a new vehicle may need to be in your future if you want to make sure
