If you are a pirate VPN is an essential tool. I am trying to ascertain the popularity of various VPNs in piracy community. In this excerise, I will list several Popular VPNs in the comment if you use one of them just upvote that comment and reply the reason. If you don’t find your VPN listed add a comment with just their name....
Struggling to find a lot of music with Lidarr (New/Recent/Modern). Have a few general public/private trackers set up but still not getting many hits. From what I gather Usenet isn’t much better. And I’m not really confident in transcoding, bit rates, etc… to attempt an interview....
People love to shit on the goofy looking Magic Mouse charging setup - when in reality 99.9% of people that own one charge it maybe once, twice a year and don’t really mind its charging spot.
Just kind of was thinking about it today, love photos and take a million of em, would be cool to be able to just buy some prints directly from Apple and have em mailed to you or to friends.
Hey ! I just broke my Pixel 4a (fp reader is dead, screen is flickering, battery health is getting really bad), and i am looking to try out Apple ecosystem. I have a budget of around 300 euros, and i have no problem looking at refurbished devices / secondhand. Here is a list i made (prices are from backmarket, a refurbished...
Everyone knows Microsoft OSs are tick-tock anyway. The failed 11 will be superseded by a well received 12, and the cycle will continue. Can’t kill 10 until 12 is fully accepted. Like 10 and 7 before it.
I’ve been jumping between password managers for a bit and I feel like sooner or later I’ll end up with iCloud Keychain, but currently I’m still sticking with something else because it only supports logins (website, username, password has to always be there)....
Pretty much as the title says, just wondered if it was possible for me to stop listening to a playlist on my Mac and seamlessly pick it up on my iPhone, rather than starting the playlist again?
What’s even more annoying is they’ve built this feature into Apple TV and HomePod (it can “hand off” now playing and the queue to your iPhone) but it doesn’t work from my Mac? So annoying. This is the #1 feature I miss from Spotify
someone's bringing me their imac, a new brother wifi-capable mfc printer, and their dsl modem/wifi router combo unit. in theory, i should be able to hook up the printer to the wifi (the mac should already be configured for it) and set it up here, even without the modem part connected to the internet (its wifi and local lan will...
Is HEVC (8-bit)/AAC a good, modern CODEC combination for rebuilding & reducing my library size without compromising quality? Helpful feedback would be appreciated.
I disagree, I think HEVC has better overall compression quality than AV1. But it’s also wrapped up in licensing problems so AV1 can be more compatible especially if you’re using windows
After 16 years of living in my city, they will finally have city-wide fiber internet. I’m pretty stoked because the fastest internet I could possibly have is a WISP at 50gbps down and 10gbps up. Now I will finally have gigabit but it’s through the city, and I’m wondering if they will be more strict on illegal content...
Currently I just have mine set up for camera because I went on holiday and it was used more often. Now that I’m back working I don’t need the camera nearly as much and was wondering what’s a more useful setup for Action Button?
You can also have this automated with focus modes, I have a “party” mode that’s like a half-dnd when I’m being social, and it turns AOD off and a bunch of other stuff
I have mine set to toggle orientation lock akin to the iPads of old. I’m LOVING it, and easily use it many times a day as I watch videos look at photos and play games, it’s especially useful in bed laying sideways and useful as sometimes it’s a game to see which corner control center is in
Having already configured a VLC-powered Google TV configuration with USB hard drives for a relative without the router or download speed needed for reliable streaming, I’m now trying to configure a similar setup for another relative with a non-smart TV and an even slower download speed....
I returned my miniLED and opted for an edge lit air instead, aside from zone control for HDR content the display was a downgrade in so many ways, insane flickering, gets weirdly dark near the edges, and even though the contrast is better anything not pitch black exhibits the same amount of IPS glow as an edge lit screen, but instead of being uniform it’s blotchy and weird and it tries to match the content at a crazy low resolution of like 50x50
I’m thinking about getting my first hand pipe and have been looking around. When I roll a joint, I always roll with charcoal filters, and I’d like to keep using filters when smoking a pipe. Now, this is the absolute standard for tobacco pipes, but for weed bowl pipes, it’s apparently not?...
I use an activated carbon filter for my bong, absolutely love it. They have them at most head shops I’ve been to, or you can get a grav online or something like that.
Left my swe job to finish my degree and other reasons. I was using a company M1 MBP 16Gb and loved it, I was wondering if I buy a used one or get a m2 equivalent. Is the M1 dull future proof?
Any way to swap the actions for tapping vs holding? To me it makes more sense for a tap to expand it and a long press to open the app. Searches popped up results from last year that it is not an option but did they add it to iOS 17?
I miss 3D touch, the current setup feels like it was built for 3D Touch (peak/deep press opens the player, tap opens the app) but without it the flow is weird, and reverse would make more sense
I don’t have any lag people are talking about in low power mode ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I use it all the time cause I have really long work shifts and I can type and take pictures and videos etc perfectly fine, on my old 13 pro and this 15 pro max
I setup my iPhone 15 Pro today and it sounds noticeably better than the 14 Pro. I’m curious if they upgraded the speakers or if there’s something off with my older phone (like pocket lint accruing or something like that).
This was one of the first things I noticed coming from a 13 pro! Although I’m on a 15 pro max now, but the speakers are sooooo much better I’m not sure how much of that is the 15 vs going max
Just wanted to share a tip, poultry lacers make the best pokers, and they come in bulk for cheap, you can find them at grocery stores, that jungle store, etc.
Get a couple Spudgers, there’s nothing better. Normally designed for opening small electronics nothing will scrape your bowl better, and even the nastiest resen washes off with a quick alcohol wipe.
Huge thanks to Bethesda for trusting me to be goofy in your world and for letting me make whatever I want. Once again I was tasked with making a four minute animation and we wound up going way overboard. Yet again it's my most detailed animation yet. Excited to dive into Starfield and you can too!
