If you have a 1 USD tier, the fees become 25.5%, 26.5% for non-US paypal. At 3 USD, it's 20%. At 10 USD, it's 17.5%. This is all before VAT and income tax. How is that not unreasonable for such a simple service, especially as th

And to add to that: suing someone for damages does not undo any damage . Your identity is still stolen, your private photos leaked, your company destroyed, etc.

I wouldn’t call Patreon a market maker - it’s closer to PayPal than being a content site. You don’t find creators on Patreon and interact with them there, you find them elsewhere and have them point you to Patreon for one-time or subscripti

How dare they take creator income! That was Patreon’s job! Patreon takes 8% fee + 2.5% currency conversion fee + 2.9%-5% and 0.1-0.3 USD transaction fee. That, and everything you create on any platform will need to live up to their requirem

Converting 1000 km to 600 miles is always wrong. Assuming that 1000km is not an exact figure solely because its least significant digits are zero is also wrong, and making up a ±10% margin is very wrong. The correct thing to do would be

I honestly don’t think it has any interesting ideas. It doesn’t seem any easier than a WireGuard tunnel. The way for a non-cryptographer to make good crypto is to not write any crypto and rely on standard setups like TLS. Even chaining stan

Yeah that’s what I said - lucky idiots can get far with the wrong equipment, but it’s just gambling. If you’re lucky, you’re making it into a Matt’s Off-road Recovery video or losing your car entirely, if you’re unlucky the state has to rec

To nitpick, they are not “<5 years”, they are officially more than 5 years and one month old depending on the model. They have been superseded 3 times (5000, 7000 and now 9000), fallen off comparison charts. Even 5000 to 9000 nets you

Calling 3900 “very old” is stretching it, but they’re certainly “old”. Chips from the early 2010s are very old and inefficient - it’s just that you listed tasks that demand nothing, and if battery power is not required it will certainly d

I have also been overtaken by old front wheel drive microcars at river crossing. Plenty of lucky idiots out there - it’s all fun and games until it’s not. On and off-road capability are always at odds with each other, because “agile” also m

Your specialized scenarios with gravel and snow are… interesting, but very misleading. A few inches of loose snow pushed up in front of your wheel does does nothing measurable to stop the car over staying within static friction, and if yo

Assuming at least one of the axles is driven by an electric motor, you can lock them in software. That's also what you'd need to do for rock crawling - you don't just want to avoid losing power to a lifted wheel, you want all

Electronic Stability Control can sort of mimic a limited slip differential, but I doubt it will work well for rock crawling without at least having been tuned explicitly for it. Even limited slip differentials are not normally suited for th

The first step is to stop pretending AWD and 4WD can sensibly mean different things … unless your number of wheels differ from 4. The naming is truly idiotic. Instead, be clear about any locking or torque split requirements, so you don’t t

The practical upshot is not the same in any way or form. Miracast is complete garbage for video content. With one solution, you get good quality playback (including anti-judder from your TV), correct color handling (e.g., 10-bit, HDR, Dolby

The lock-in is mostly in libraries and tooling. It's not really your CUDA code that is the issue.

Miracast is for streaming a video feed from a device. This is horrible for battery life, AV sync and cannot deal with things like HDR content and remote input. Cast and Airplay makes the device itself fetch and play content, with local cont
