Prime 4K's bit-rate is ~15Mb/s. A UHD Blu-Ray has a bit-rate that's more like 70Mb/s, and a 1080p Blu-ray has a bit-rate of ~28Mb/s. Of course, 4K is usually encoded with H.265 while 1080p is encoded with H.264, so

Actually, it's more likely that it's: 2b) Someone is using GitHub trickery to display a commit in another repo as belonging to that repo (see other comments), without actually compromising any accounts. 4) Linus decided on a funny

The variable is the name of that version of Linux, the version being the still unreleased Linux 5.17-rc2. Basically, he's naming the release the "I am Satoshi" release. The previous one was "Gobble Gobble".

You turn on the option. This causes your browser to act in a different, specific way, that can then be detected. Most people do not change default options, so just turning on that option is something that identifies you.

This project is kinda wonky from a free/open-source perspective. It's ostensibly licensed under GPL-3 (i.e., there's a source zip which has a License.txt that's GPL-3), but it otherwise acts like freeware with a single d

The US has military bases in Japan. In various other locations in the world, too, but also in Japan. edit: I think I may be missing your point.

Why are you wary of using something like that? I use one of them, and it has been a great help for me for studying and for work. I don't take them during "off-time", i.e., weekends and holidays, and I don't feel like I

It is not in the same mould at all. Reposting my previous comment: OK, I found an article with a floorplan[1]. This thing is not at all comparable to the Michigan dorms. Recall, in the Michigan dorms you have an apartment housing 7 people w

Sure, and I think it's hard to find someone who is perfectly satisfied with the status quo. Coming up with a replacement is the hard part.

So in this scenario would the NFT be burned onto the card's ROM, and basically serve as a serial number you can trade without the participation of the manufacturer? That's still rather convoluted.

It's a single bathroom, but it might have more than one shower installed. Are shared bathrooms really that big a deal?

I agree with you on the rebuttal, but disagree with you on your description of this specific building. This is supposedly the floor plan: https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2021/11/munger-hall-univer... > e

Looking at pictures online, the Stanford one seems to have windows. The Michigan one doesn't have windows in the bedroom, but does have windows in the apartment (shared kitchen/living room of 7 bedrooms, i.e., common area.).[1][2]

AFAIK, the statistics still show Apple is in the lead, followed by Samsung and Huawei. In my personal bubble, Garmin smart/fitness watches are the most popular, followed by Xiaomi Mi Bands. I use a Suunto smartwatch I got as a gift.

Smartwatches aren't new in the same way smartglasses will be new. Watches weren't new, calculator watches were introduced almost half a century ago, the concept had a ton of time to mature. A HUD/AR capable smartglasses will

Not that many. But it's not something that I'm doing specifically for Firefox, my style is to close tabs after I'm finished with them.

This has not been my experience. Firefox Android is perfectly functional, fast, and blocks ads too.

This is called accelerationism. It doesn't really work, making something worse just to make it better isn't effective, changing things for the sake of "getting away from the status quo" is silly.

Not my point. A phenomenon which affects a large fraction of a population has effects on the entirety of the population, ergo, it is socialized.
