It’s true rsi is far more likely to kick in before hinge failure.

Foldable hinge. Good for 10k folds, or 30 minutes of foldy bird.

Samsung did make 1tb phone models. Not sure if they still do. When I got my s24, 1tb was an option.

Are you sure it was dot pitch and not dot clock?

Dot pitch on a crt might make the image look bad (trying to draw onto the shadow mask) but I doubt it would damage it.

Setting an invalid dot clock could damage some crts. But most of the modern (read from mid 90s on) would just go to the power save mode when they got a clock they couldn’t use. The warning did still remain on the xfree86 configuration guides though.

Showing my age perhaps.

I upgrade every 4 years or so, and that’s really only because it’s also when battery life usually declines.

These days the only improvement seems to be memory, storage and camera. Somehow I feel some of those will stagnate.

But the new Samsung s28, it’s totally a bigger number than what you have now.

More than 51 years if there’s one of those updates that will randomly decide to overwrite the UEFI removing your bootloader entirely :P

Ahh, that’s the modern terror.

I would say, now it’s learning that actually sticking your head in the sand is only ever a delaying tactic. But, if it DID learn that, it’d mean it has surpassed us already.

Yep. I also valid concerns. But those seem to be their next steps. I just wondered if there would be degradation. You wouldn’t even be able to tell until it reached the destination.

Definitely interesting stuff.

I think my question on all this would be whether this would ultimately cause problems in terms of data integrity.

Currently most amplifiers for digital information are going to capture the information in the light, probably strip off any modulation to get to the raw data. Then re-modulate that using a new emitter.

The advantages of doing this over just amplifying the original light signal are the same reason switches/routers are store and forward (or at least decode to binary and re-modulate). When you decode the data from the modulated signal and then reproduce it, you are removing any noise that was present and reproducing a clean signal again.

If you just amplify light (or electrical) signals “as-is”, then you generally add noise every time you do this reducing the SNR a small amount. After enough times the signal will become non-recoverable.

So I guess my question is, does the process also have the same issue of an ultimate limit in how often you can re-transmit the signal without degradation.

At home I’m on Linux but yes I also have a work laptop and I hate windows more and more daily.

This is the world most of us want to live in I would think.

He is not the one to deliver it. He doesn’t really want that. If he did, he wouldn’t want $1t let alone fight to get it. Let alone all the other vile shit he has done, and will do.

Of course not. As the merovingian in the matrix says. French is a fantastic language, especially to curse with.

So far I’ve mostly avoided the whole “things that don’t need to be on the Internet” situation.

Non smart TV (well that period when they started adding smart features but they’re all out of date now so not even connected to the Internet)

All kitchen stuff is just kitchen stuff. No Internet.

Car is still offline.

Only real exception is smart thermostat, and that’s just because when the boiler was installed that’s what they put in.

Then I suggest they use an XNOR pointer instead! Checkmate patent trolls!

Or, you do the tutorial, play for an hour don’t come back for a year and don’t know what is going on.

Huh. I am sure you could search for individual books. For sure you could do it by goodreads ID I think? Yes, adding an entire author as the primary way to do things is a bit much for some. I know for sure I have managed to do individual books before now.

It’s a real shame because Readarr did work and they really just needed to fix their own metadata servers. No? Or were there other problems I’m not aware of?

I mean, I have to say I’ve hastened my own demise (in program terms) by over-engineering something that should be simple. Sometimes adding protective guardrails actually causes errors when something changes.

Yes, had the same happen. Something that should be simple failing for stupid reasons.
