I’d expect modern cars to use proximity detection which means the fob only needs to be with you.
Like my Peguot has a fairly large fob, but it’s just in the pocket of my jacket. Never leaves it. I guess it’s a problem if you don’t have a semi permanent thing like a jacket you use every day though.
My solution to most things, make it a chore.
Like, if you don’t buy it, you can’t drink it. If you have it, put it in an inconvenient place so you you won’t see it or bother getting it.
Thanks, I figured I was missing some connection.
Unsure if a joke or not, but in the event of a serious question:
scrum masters are heads of scrum teams, their main purpose is facilitating good work conditions for the workers in the team. This generally means arranging and leading typical scrum meetings, helping workers do their job and shielding them from the Production Owner (the guy that decides what they are to make/deliver during a sprint . (sprints are 2-3 weeks long, where work is done according to a selection done at the start of the sprint and interruptions are kept low during that time.)
I don’t want to say that it’s an easy roles, but it’s more a management type of role than a worker role. In my team the scrum master is also doing development work, since scrum master tasks alone aren’t that huge with the way we do things.
I use Taiga for tracking anime, and it can auto download torrents, my torrent client can auto add torrents downloaded by taiga. For airing stuff I don’t auto download things using taiga though, as it will usually take the first and best torrent it finds, so I opt to just check what’s foud and double click the matches when they are the right version.
Norway has something similar, you own the inside usually and the HOA own the outside, including the houses themselves. Live in one, largely a good thing but some things come slow since they need to be voted for of course. Generally worth it, since you get good deals on things like internet. It’s cheaper but it’s also something you usually have to use and the only option. Eg only that provider of internet.
I’m my case, they are also responsible for my balanced ventilation, my exterior doors and my water heater. So when the time comes, they handle it. Shared costs cover snow plowing, the shared community building, upkeep of garage, outdoors and the buildings, and things like water bills and taxes paid. In particular, HOAs purchases do not need to pay a 2.5% of the purchase price fee when you purchase a home. This itself saves you quite a bit, and makes up for some of the extra you pay in monthly costs. (but pretty much all of those are at least going somewhere that benefit you anyways)
The downsides are, there are special rules so some people that have membership may have a right to take over the winning bid in a sale. I myself used this to purchase my place, having gotten 10 years of seniority in “HOA company”. You spend the seniority with your purchase, but also are not allowed to own more than one part. Also, no long term renting so there aren’t any companies buying and renting out and things like that. You have to live in the HOA.
If you use it frequently, I suggest getting a GUI that have profiles or remember options so you don’t have to mess with commands all the time. I wrote my own little command line wrspper which is Windows only since I don’t have Linux to test on. Though it shouldn’t take much effort to add support.
Makes it much more convenient when you don’t have to specify things like archive (ignore duplicates), filename to be “artist - title” (where possible), download destination, etc. Just alt-tab, Ctrl-v, Enter. And the download is running. And mine also has parallel downloads and queue for when you got many slow downloads.
It’s a link to an image on github not sure why it doesn’t work for you. Try just looking at the repo then:
(Windows only warning, unless someone wants to add Linux support)
I didn’t really search around for GUIs way back, but ended up making a basic GUI because I wanted to learn programming.
With just having options as checkboxes for YouTube-dl. It has served me well all these years. It was literally the thing I made while learning programming so the code is pretty janky when I look back at it though…
Sideloading apps The home screen layout (I’m sure this can be changed up though), gotta love launchers Live backgrounds that also work with launchers More styling options such as app icons for home screens. While less relevant with gestures now, their navigation setup The punchouts and larger things in the screen. I hate them, and hate that on android too. Apples lock in, esp things like file transfers. Google has some too of course, but Apple is worse.
Completely true, but also compression can make anything bad. I’ve seen 480p better 1080p simply because the 480p was using more bitrate, where the 1080p is encoded without enough relatively speaking.
I use phone every day at office so I don’t need to get the wallet out of my jacket when going to the canteen to buy lunch. It’s literally the reason I started using my phone to pay. Too many times I forgot my card…
It’s worth adding I greatly prefer MS Auth style authentication, since I don’t have to find the right entry to read the Auth code and then write it on the other computer. Instead MS pops a notification and you either type or select the right number, verify with fingerprint and done. Much more convenient.
It often tells you what you login into and where you are attempt to log in from, so it’s a few extra layers of security for those that have that awareness to check those details.
Played a lot of rainbow six siege, where you have to shoot those 360° security cameras when you are attacking. So, now I’m trained to spot those on instinct.
I’m in the MPC-HC gang on Windows. Just so much more practical than other players. The main selling point was that full-screen the controls go away once you move the cursor off them, it was amazing. And no waiting for subs to be processed like VLC had to back then, never turned back so don’t know if that is still a thing.
I stopped auto updating the 3rd time my god damn app was force closed when using it. Either update for the app itself or damn webview. Been many years since then, so not sure if things changed but man it was frustrating having things just go poof in the middle of something.
I don’t have this issue, except once when I got my first desktop connected with wired internet. Turns out, yeah the wired internet (or the adapter/driver) can actually wake the computer… Turned it off and been mostly problem free from wakeups.
Here’s a little article which highlights jxl well. https://chipsandcheese.com/2021/02/28/modern-data-compression-in-2021-part-2-the-battle-to-dethrone-jpeg-with-jpeg-xl-avif-and-webp/
I do not think it’s mentioned there, but I think webp and also it’s indirect successor avif afaik, both lack progressive loading which is not optimal for website loading. It’s has incremental loading which I think is akin the the old dial up time of loading top to bottom row for row. They proclaim progressive decoding is costly on memory and cpu, but progressive gives the best user experience imo.
Lastly a fringe issue, re-encooding multiple times. The good old reason why jpgs turn into trash over time because people encode instead of save images. Or because sites re-encode when uploading. Jxl wins here. It also is very easy to see why jpg turns into what it does rather quickly.

All of them are OK, except mkv is less a file type and more a container. What should be specified is the code for video, which for most things I’d say AV1, but high res movies might not be the most suitable. Throw in opus for the audio track, and you can use mkv, but might as well use webm anyways since it’s more clear what’s behind it. (though can still be other things)
I’d also add that jxl should be the standard for lossy images. Better than jpg. And you want something other than png for massive images because that quickly gets costly in terms of size due to png being lossless.
The article goes into the first point though.
Using those services on your behalf is, potentially (in a legal sense) use of your data. By providing some information to a third party, even if Firefox itself doesn’t itself use it. This may come from the fact that you don’t directly agree to terms with the third parties when you start using the browser, with safe browsing for example. So Firefox is in a sense using/sharing private information. And in the changing legal landscape this usage may fall under modern privacy laws, such as the one mentioned in the article.
I agree the old wording was bad, but I do see the reasoning behind the new one.
