booly,

Remind me of who won that war?

I’m pretty sure the Ukrainians won that one too.

booly,

Ah I see you’ve seen me watch professional sports

booly,

As the article notes, writers for her show are governed under a separate contract which was not being struck.

No, you’re misunderstanding that portion of the article.

The Actors agreement allows talk shows to continue with SAG/AFTRA members, but the writers strike covered the writers on the show. They tried to restart production without writers (which is possible, Late Night did it in the last writers strike).

So even though the Actors strike is still happening, shows like this can use union actors (like Drew Barrymore) now. And they can use union writers now, too, because the writers strike is over.

Stadia's death spiral, according to the Google employee in charge of mopping up after its murder (www.pcgamer.com)

A statement from a Google employee, Dov Zimring, has been released as a part of the FTC vs Microsoft court case (via 9to5Google). Only minorly redacted, the statement gives us a run down of Google's position leading up to Stadia's closure and why, ultimately, Stadia was in a death spiral long before its actual demise....

booly,

The subscription fee was for a gamepass-like access to a catalog of free games, so they didn’t refund that. The subscription fee also wasn’t required for playing purchased games (although it was required for 4K quality).

especially with a controller

I mostly used keyboard and mouse with the service, since the games I like to play tend to work better with keyboard and mouse. I had a dinky underpowered laptop but was playing AAA PC-oriented games through the browser interface. It was great.

I’m on GeForce Now these days but I find that it doesn’t work quite as seamlessly as Stadia did.

Starfield Is Seemingly Missing Entire Stars (the local 'sun') When Running On AMD Radeon GPUs (wccftech.com)

So a user on Reddit (ed: u/Yoraxx ) posted on the Starfield subreddit that there was a problem in Starfield when running the game on an AMD Radeon GPU. The issue is very simple, the game just won't render a star in any solar system when you are at the dayside of a moon or even any planetary object. The issue only occurs on AMD...

booly,

All GPUs perform equally well the same at ray tracing when there are no rays to trace

booly,

Things might be different by now, but when I was researching this I decided on the Yale x Nest.

It’s more secure than a keyed lock in the following ways:

  • Can’t be picked (no physical keyhole).
  • Codes can be revoked or time-gated (for example, you can set the dog walker’s code to work only at the time of day they’re expected to come by).
  • Guest codes can be set to provide real-time notifications when used.
  • The lock keeps a detailed log of every time it’s used.
  • The lock can be set to automatically lock the door after a certain amount of time.

It’s less secure than a physical traditional lock in the following ways:

  • Compromise of a keycode isn’t as obvious as losing a key, so you might not change a compromised keycode the same way you might change a lost key.
  • People can theoretically see a code being punched in, or intercept compromised communications to use it.
  • Compromised app or login could be used to assign new codes or remotely unlock

It’s basically the same level of security in the following ways:

  • The deadbolt can still be defeated with the same physical weaknesses that a typical deadbolt has: blunt force, cutting with a saw, etc.
  • The windows and doors are probably just generally weak around your house, to where a determined burglar can get in no matter what lock you use.
  • Works like normal without power or network connection (just can’t be remotely unlocked or reprogrammed to add/revoke codes if not online)

Overall, I’d say it’s more secure against real-world risk, where the weakest link tends to be the people you share your keys with.

booly,

Yup. The backup for battery failure on this model is that the bottom of the plate can accept power from the pins of a 9V battery, held there just long enough to punch in the code.

booly,

I’ve seen it for keypads that have to send a signal to an actuator located elsewhere, but I think the typical in-door deadbolt (where the keypad is mere millimeters from the motor itself) wouldn’t have the form factor leaving the connection as exposed to a magnet inducing a current that would actually actuate the motor.

Most of LPL’s videos on smart locks just defeat the mechanical backup cylinder, anyway. I’d love to see him take on the specific Yale x Nest model I have, though.

booly,

In comparison, the Geneva Convention literally forbids doing this to enemy POWs.

booly,

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

booly,

At the highest quality setting, the iPhone 14 Pro captures video footage that is 6 GB per minute. At USB 2.0 speeds, files can be transferred at around 3.6 GB per minute. Typical wifi direct/Airdrop speeds are about 3-5 GB per minute. And thunderbolt speeds are 100 times faster, at 5 GB/s or 300 GB/minute.

For some purposes that USB 2.0 speed would be a significant bottleneck. It’s up to the buyer to decide whether those use cases are likely.

booly,

Well it’s obvious that Musk wants X to be a bank, so this isn’t unexpected.
