When testing speakers, I discovered my room (or house) is resonant around 40Hz. On most other frequencies the speaker was quiet, at 40Hz it felt like the room was shaking. I wonder…

Annoyingly and predictably, reads like AI slop. You can practically guess the prompt goes something along the lines of 'write a press release explaining why this bad idea is a good…

This can give the attacker the URL of a private video, but they won't be able to access it. It could let them access unlisted videos, but I don't think that's as big a deal.

HiFiMan Sundara headphones, focusrite scarlett 2i2 interface. Although, it turns out the Scarlett is set to 48KHz anyway, and I can't seem to change it easily under linux. Not that…

And now after yet another crash I've lost an entire days work that was previously saved. Seriously tempted to switch back to windows.

I've had issues with Arch, Ubuntu, Ubuntu server, Debian, Mint, Fedora, Kali and raspberry pi OS, across about as many machines. I'm using Mint at the moment, and it's locked up tw…

I've also experienced vanilla linux installs breaking more often than Windows. When it's stable, it's incredibly stable, but I've been bitten by a completely vanilla install sudden…

I'm sad my second thought about this (after dismissing it as a coincidence) was that it could be used for marketing - "I randomly thought about this book/show/movie whatever, and h…

W3W is very aggressive about protecting their IP, they don't want it to be a standard anyone can use like lat/long. They advertise it as being useful for search/rescue as you can p…

Even with cruise control, you still have to steer.

Also claims parakeets are parrots.

I wonder if the dogs are following unconcious cues from their owner, like Clever Hans ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_Hans ). EDIT: turns out I should have done some more re…

I see potential for speedrunning since the apples are always in the same position.

I got addicted to YT shorts for a little while, but I've mostly stopped doomscrolling now as, counter-intuitively, it wasn't addictive enough to keep me engaged. Sure, the first fe…
