stevestevesteve,

Arch-user in the image said they were a “completely cis dude” and would hit that button, then replied to themselves (~1 day later) calling herself “she” - implying they became(?) trans within that time period. The final response is from another person, incredulous at the short timeline between “completely cis” and trans

stevestevesteve,

Likely changing the “active” flag or boot stuff, but as the other commenter says, if you aren’t 100% confident, disconnect the scsi

stevestevesteve,

AV1 and VP9 are likely going to be your highest efficiency “free” codecs. AV1 is the way to go if you mean free as in free open source. It’s not very likely to be implemented in many TVs or set-top-boxes, but VLC/ffmpeg will be able to decode any of these. Webm uses vp8 or VP9 which are “free”(made by Google) but it’s just more specific settings for sharing online/viewing in browser.

H264/H265 has license fees for non-free software and hardware, but they will be your most widely supported option. H265 is approximately twice as efficient as h264 (meaning you can get the same quality of encode from half the file size).

Regardless of preset I think you can get handbrake to encode something reasonable from any of these codecs. Especially with DVD video you’ll be able to crank through videos with modern high efficiency codecs

stevestevesteve,

VP9 has pretty wide support, probably due to the Google (and YouTube) backing. I sincerely doubt devices will phase out any codecs, especially not VP9.

AMD video cards have supported hardware decoding of VP9 since vcn1.0 - well before they had support for decoding AV1

stevestevesteve,

“Responsible reporting” is for security vulnerabilities… It’s extremely hard for me to believe that jailbreaks like this should be considered security vulnerabilities, especially if it’s something local-only or otherwise limited to something only the owner of the device would feasibly be able to do.

Does anyone believe the portable is actually a more secure device now than it was before this patch?

stevestevesteve,

If the rise time isn’t 0, it’s not a square wave.

And if that’s your definition then there’s no such thing as a real square wave.

Just like no physical objects can have a perfectly square corner, there will always be some radius, even if it’s just 1 atom

The reason making a true square wave is hard is that there are physical properties of real life electrical components that prevent voltage (or current) from changing instantly. Similar to how we can’t instantly accelerate a mass from 0 to some speed, it’s physically impossible. The faster you try to do it, the harder it is due to inertia. In electronics, there’s always natural capacitance and inductance slowing things down. If you want a 10v square wave, you have to push some amount of electrons through some amount of capacitance and inductance and that, while it can be very fast, is never instant.

stevestevesteve,

And who’s got boxers tight enough and pants loose enough that they’d have the boxers stay up when the pants come down? I’ve been pantsed and the undies definitely went with the pants

stevestevesteve,

I get that’s the nature of searching for something I want to purchase

God damn it I hate the modern reality of online shopping. Make searching actually worth a damn again ffs

stevestevesteve,

Fucking exactly. “Welp I can’t find what I need here anymore, guess I’ll go somewhere else”
