But what if you like to listen to a specific genre? Say electo-swing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_swing ) There isn't that much good electro-swing made by humans, and not much new coming out. One can ea

I mean I am planning to still be adding to my investments and not selling any of it for more than 20 years. If you are caring about the short term returns then you wouldn't or shouldn't be invested so heavily in stocks, you should

Weird, I look at my investments in timescales measured in years.

Do people really care that much about short term decline? The SP500 was around 5000 a year ago, and it's currently well over 6000.

But what about our phones? Why are people so OK with an online account for their phone or tablet but not laptop?

The Midwest. In my experience, either people have central air, or in older houses they put window units in all over the house. All the apartments I see have mini-splits or in-wall units. I put a floor standing dual-hose unit in my bedroom w

Then why did they drop prices the last few times prices spiked like this? RAM was this price some years back, and yet last summer/fall it was at an all-time low.

by SirMaster 6mo ago
The increase looks higher because we were at an all-time price low. RAM has been this expensive at least twice before, and it always dropped way down again after.

Depends how you define excellent. If the goal is to get more views then it's not all that great, and views are kind of the point of YouTube for many, especially if they are trying to make a living from it.

I would assume whatsapp would read the hash and verify it when the video is chosen to be sent to someone, so the reciever would see that the video that was selected by the sender was indeed authentic. Assuming you trust meta to re-encode i

But we are talking about consumer devices here. Are you saying Apple and Google can't put a secure hash into the output from their camera apps that apply after their internal processing is done?
134.
by SirMaster 7mo ago
Edit the metadata in what way? It's a cryptographic hash. If the bits that make up the video as was recorded by the camera don't match the hash anymore, then you know it was modified. That doesn't mean it's fake, it just
135.
by SirMaster 7mo ago
Same way security cameras prove that they are authentic camera recordings that have not been modified. If modified, the video will no longer match the signature that was generated with it.

I don't really understand why this is so hard or why it wasn't just done from the get go. Just have Apple and Google digitally sign videos and photos recorded from phones and then have Google and Meta, etc display that they are au

Compared to Framework 4.8, modern .NET has a LOT more stuff in it, every year it gets more stuff and its essentially on version 9 now (they skipped .NET 4). I stick to the LTS versions which are the even numbers and they are supported for 3

DevExpress has many advanced Winforms controls that are all GPU accelerated and super fast. So Winforms can certainly do GPU acceleration.

To be an effective sandbox, I feel like the thing inside it shouldn't even be able to know it's inside a sandbox.

Nobody is trying to age restrict the safari app (like a movie theater), but I don't see why websites or parts of websites can't be restricted like individual movies are as they are given a rating by an authority. But other apps en

by SirMaster 7mo ago
What is the fight over? It semes like some people are fighting over age restriction at all, and others are fighting over the specific exchange of age proof mechanisms.
144.
by SirMaster 7mo ago
We age gate the movie theater, so why is age gating a website or app any worse?
145.
by SirMaster 7mo ago
Right, but his point is the battery last like 2-3x longer than most other similar laptops, so the charge cycles wear out 2-3x slower.

But if you internet is fast enough, you can still just play it without first downloading it.

But if the argument is that they don't care about accuracy, then what's to stop the system from targeting themselves or the leaders they support? Remember, the system is not accurate, so you cannot accurately tell it to avoid or i

Eye floaters can definitely go away. I believe they can break up and break apart and dissipate or be absorbed by the body a bit. Or maybe they just float way off to the side of your vision where you don't notice them anymore.
