NPSI romps were pretty fun. Been a few years since I've fired it up.

NPSI = Not Purple, Shoot It!

Squad up and then move to some objective location and raise hell shooting anything (w/ coordination from squad leader since the idea is to usually pool DPSl) not in the squad.

For dead drops, beyond worry about viruses there is also the concern about physical security so you don't fry your device/port. Randomly plugging in unknown USB devices just has way too many downsides.

USBkill, etc.

> The Photo page gives you everything you need to manage your entire image library from import to completion. You can import photos directly, from your Apple Photos library or Lightroom, and organize them with tags, ratings, favorites and keywords for fast, flexible management of even the largest libraries.

This is how they're going to win over LR users. It always comes back to it not just being a decent photo editor, it's also a library management tool. Beyond good organization, If you're non-destructively editing photos and not wanting to render out every single artifact, then you need a tool that can you show the library and dynamically render the edits.

It's nice experimenting with different editors, but having library management is turning into more of what keeps me shelling out. I'll have to check this out more.

If unspecified, 'exit' would mean 'exit right' to the right side of the traffic flow. In dense urban areas it might make sense for geography or cost reasons to put it on the left in which case youll see "Exit Left" to make sure people know to be in the 'fast lane' in preparation to leave the highway since it departs the highway exceptionally on the left

I-94 and I-35E in St. Paul, Minnesota comes to mind. You just merge left onto the other highway if you need to change.

It also helps avoid "oo shiny!" distractions and helps keep the focus on the message.

Even with Flux, setting the profile automatically breaks down at high latitudes. If you're far enough from the equator, the sun can sod off most of the year as for how it relates to human biorythms.

I'm 60°N, as with my alarm clock, I've set a static profile to follow 365 days a year since the sun is unreliable.

A few months ago Adobe finally updated Lightroom Classic to require these processor extensions. To squeeze all of the matrix mults it can for AI features also in CPU mode.

It's amazing how long of a run top end hardware from ~2011 has had (just missed the cutoff by a few months). It's taken this long for stuff to really require these features.

I'm so used to getting 451's that the example flew right over my head. First reaction was, "ugh this again [reaches for vpn]".

I have a working(!) motherboard that survived an international flight in checked luggage, wrapped in nothing more than cotton t-shirts.

I don't advise it, but tech can take quite some abuse.

He recently did one of those "this video will delete in X hours" bits where he asked people to email him different places, people, things to check out.

He very, very clearly has no interest in returning to weekly videos on-location; more deeper dives or just something different.

"Scheduling" can become a four-letter word when it comes to adults organizing for game nights. In many groups game night rarely seems to rise to the formality of scheduling sports with organized practice/play sessions.

It's nice to hear that this group found a way to maintain the spontaneity.
