Yeah, if you can turn off or ignore the touch part, there's a whopper of a weight savings, a better display panel, and improved thermal performance hiding in this package.

I think they're just counting on coaching the person through whatever privilege escalation is required when the trojan wants access to the passkey.

You might want to try dumping your work from Resolve out in ProRes 422 HQ or DNxHR HQ and then encoding to h264/h265 with Compressor (costs $; it's the encoder part of Final Cut as a separate piece of software) on a Mac or Shutter Encoder. Also, I'm making a big assumption that you're using the paid version of Resolve; disregard otherwise. It might not be worth it if your input material is video game capture but if you have something like a camera that records h264 4:2:2 10bit in a log gamma then it can help preserve some quality.

The Ryzen CPUs seem to be designed to spike as high as whatever thermal limit you configure with Precision Boost Overdrive.

> Even now, barreling towards 40, there’s aspects of social capabilities where I come up quite short relative to my peers.

I identify with your post as a rural kid who mostly didn't socialize with classmates after school. I went to public school, and I'm 40 now. I think the human experience is that you are inevitably going to encounter social situations where you feel outmatched or simply don't belong. I do agree with making sure your kids experience public school, but I think that's about the bare minimum of what you can offer your kids.

Yes, that's correct. Buffer sizes are also all over the place, so if you want to shoot continuously, you need to pick carefully. Check https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1856860/0 for a thorough analysis starting with the Sony A9iii (which can fill the buffer incredibly quickly with its premier feature, the 120fps 14-bit raw output global shutter). Deeper in the thread compares to the Nikon Z9.

> because photos don't require highest speed cards

That hypothesis is certainly getting tested these days in specific niches. With high megapixel sensors, pre-capture, and cameras capable of pushing between 30fps and 120fps worth of compressed raws or high quality JPEGs, you can obliterate your camera's write buffer and CFExpress write bandwidth. You can make many bad photos of an animal, bird, or athlete with extreme ease -- and hopefully find that one winner in the haystack.

I would say the line between movies and photos is getting blurred, but it's unlikely you're using a shutter speed that allows for motion blur with these bursts of photos!

I realized if someone were to assign me the ticket for fixing this behavior, I would have no idea where to begin with solving it even with this blog post explaining the problem, so I'm very curious to know what the most practical solution is. (They obviously aren't adding "If someone asks you about a seahorse emoji, there isn't one available yet, no matter how strongly you believe one exists." to the system prompt.)

Sucks that the Blu-ray experience is dreadful for 4K content. You've gotta find specific Blu-ray drives with specific firmware versions to do rips, or watch on a PlayStation or similar locked-down console. There isn't even a non-pirate way to watch on a laptop or desktop anymore since Intel SGX is dead.

I bought a Gigabyte X870E board with 3 PCIe slots (PCIe5 16x, PCIe4 4x, PCIe3 4x) and 4 M.2 slots (3x PCIe5, 1x PCIe 4). Three of the M.2 slots are connected to the CPU, and one is connected to the chipset. Using the 2nd and 3rd M.2 CPU-connected slots causes the board to bifurcate the lanes assigned to the GPU's PCIe slot, so you get 8x GPU, 4x M.2, 4x M.2.

I wish you didn't have to buy Xeon or Threadripper to get considerably more PCIe lanes, but for most people I suspect this split is acceptable. The penalty for gaming going from 16x to 8x is pretty small.

They're about to close for the entirety of Passover, so, if you thought <24hrs was bad, those of us who like them just aren't ordering for 9 days...

Yeah… I stopped doing stable horde after admitting my electric rate was never going down, and it’s already about 55 cents per kWh. I try to put as many electric things to sleep or off now.

> Not sure the details of Omaha, but where I live in Los Angeles, insane building codes make it incredibly difficult to profitably develop affordable housing. The very nice apartments I lived in when I lived in Tokyo would all have been illegal in Los Angeles.

That's not what affordable housing is. You probably didn't live in affordable housing in Tokyo (edit: of course I could be wrong, but it's not my first guess). Yes, your housing was affordable. But affordable housing in US cities is subsidized and price capped, with income restrictions.

Do you normally tweet your half baked “discoveries” as propaganda in an effort to undermine the government when performing an audit?

Edit: I really don’t think the way this audit is being conducted is out of a genuine love for America, or the American citizens, or even out of just wanting to do good work. This is very nakedly a dishonest, petty, and malicious investigation.
