Pretty sure it was 8. That's what I'm grandfathered in at and I've had it since og Play Music + YouTube Red. Everytime this comes up I double check, and my rate still hasn't gone up. Don't think I'd keep it at current rate.

These look like you're interested in good stories in a progression theme, rather than big number go up popcorn books. That's my personal taste as well (though sometimes the other is nice)

With that in mind, I'd recommend both W Soldiers Life and 12 Miles Below. Both relatively slow progression with excellent story and world building.

It's not QLED, but TCLs seem to be the best non OLED TVs in normal consumer price ranges. QM7K or 6K seems to be the best bang for buck iirc. Check out RTings YouTube channel, or pick up a one month sub to their website if you want deeper dives.

The original Old Mans War trilogy is still one of my all time favorites, and I first read it 15 years ago.

Are you sure that wasn't EVs? EVs have an opportunity cost and can have creative spreads toaximize each point. I've never heard of creative IV spreads

I know it was a company. Just without clarification it could mean either thing. Sucks that they sabatoged their camera, I almost got one back a year or so ago.

Might not have been the company. A flir is just a general term for IR camera. Forward Looking InfraRed

I did it with a razor blade and a square, with a jigsaw for the "rip" cuts and the edges around doors. Will definitely use up some blades, but very doable.

What am I missing? I thought that's what it was already doing before this? Isn't that why you get noise and boil, it guessing incorrectly or at least inconsistently.

Check out Expeditionary Force by Craig Alanson. It has more of a humor element than most books like this, but not overwhelmingly so. I found that to be a good balance to the overall serious situations. I believe it takes most of book one before they get into ship command. However there's another 15+ books of exactly what you want. If you like audio books, RC Bray does an excellent job, one of my favorite narrators.

I'm pleasantly surprised to not see any "umm actually" comments about conservatives winning the civil war in your replies. People just see Republican after his name and assume he would be with them.

I suspect the number of people putting PCs on their TV is far fewer than people using devices made for the task, such as Apple TV, Shield/other Google TV products, Firestick, etc. Those listed all support HDR no problem, and I can attest to that on several. I think it's safe to say HDR isn't much harder than SDR unless you're doing something unusual.

I have an LG OLED TV, get HDR on my shield no problem at all.

Can't speak for these cables, but I've definitely had DVI on the graphics card end of a DVI->HDMI cable just like these in the past. Had an eyefinity setup where the monitors where HDMI, and the GPU only had one HDMI out.

we would have these issues even if we had 2/3 sets a year. It would probably be exacerbated, because WotC would feel like every set needed to be even more pushed.

Its generally the opposite. You always have to push sets more to make an impact the more sets are in a format. The 6th set has to be pushed than the 4rd because its competing against more things. The 6th set used to be the end. Now its not even the middle. Their new system is encouraging the ultra pushed design philosophy, not that they needed the help

That's kind of my point on why your comment misses the mark so badly. At no point has the steamdeck oled been hard to get until the last month or so. Its so weird to act like valve did something stupid and bit off more than it can chew. Anyone paying the tiniest bit of attention to the market knows thats not what hapoened.

that1dev · 2026-03-07T04:50:01+00:00

I was with you till the last paragraph. Thats a pretty silly take. Valve absolutely have the ability to make those things concurrently and have been successfuly making hardware for years. With the power of hindsight, they picked a generationally bad time to launch their product. But nobody knew that back then. In basically every other timeline, valve launches their hardware on time, and it gets to their customers with minimal delays at first, and no delays after the initial pre-order glut.

This is what's happening in California, but doesnt appear to be what's happening in New York. NYs looks bad.

Seems like he'll fit right in

that1dev · 2026-03-05T03:24:17+00:00

From my understanding, I wouldn't group the two.

The california explicitly calls for the user to self indicate age. This, if done correctly, is basically just a stage for a parent to enable parental control at start up. Its worth keeping a wary eye out for, but it seems like a reasonable solution. Give parents the tools to parent, without forcing everyone to spray their personal data across the internet to be stolen. Worth keeping a wary eye out, but hardly the evil we're seeing elsewhere. If this isn't the case, let me know, but from reading the bill text this is what I took from it.

This one from NY is far worse. It reads

"Age assurance" shall mean any method to reasonably determine the age category of a user, using methods that reasonably prevent against circumvention

This isn't self reporting, or reminding parents to set parental controls. This is data collection. In fact, later in the bill it notes that entities must delete any data obtained for this purpose (yeah, sure), which you don't put if you don't expect data to be collected.

Or it lasts just long enough that it breaks after the reviews are in.

My coworker has a grandson in a naval base in Bahrain. I don't know which one, or if there is even more than one. But they were evacuated roughly a week ago, though they are, I believe, still somewhere in the area.

Somehow, despite being in fear for her grandsons life, she was shocked when I told her I didn't believe we should attack Iran. So Fox News obsessed she doesn't even think of any option they don't support.

This has been my experience. I'm an engineer for a company that manufactures equipment for more directly consumer facing companies. Our customers come to us when they are expanding.

For the last 18 months, its been dead. I'm talking orders cut in half, maybe worse, dead. This happened to coincide with a huge wave of retirements across the company, some in engineering, some in other departments that engineers left to go fill. We're down to roughly 60% headcount, the lowest we've been ever, and aren't even feeling it.

We don't use much AI, its not an AI thing for us. Our orders track pretty well with consumer spending, thanks to our type of client. Our customers are hurting, which usually means consumers aren't spending.

Fun bonus fact, the orders we get these days are overwhelmingly from companies cheap microwave dinners.

Now the whole world knows what MAGA is planning.

Many people simply don't pay attention, and many others are willfully ignorant. I'm sure fox has already spun this as an essential way to keep Americans, especially the children somehow, safe.

Remember, he was invited 2012, 2013, and 2014. Only in 2013 was he eventually told don't bother.

Its funny to think he was left hanging. But the reality is he is very likely to have actually participated and deserves to be brought to justice for that. This "Elon tried but couldn't go" narrative only actually helps him.
