Good news, DCS is now viable to play on an Xbox gamepad and cheap head tracker. Some if the best online wingmen I've flown with are using gamepads.

You can own a television without paying the fee. You're required to pay the fee if you use it to watch live TV. If you use it for home movies, video games, computers, etc. you don't have to pay.

No, but you might be a software engineer. Some of the best I've worked with barely wrote code.

NHtSA can force them to recall the cars, the "voluntary" part is to save face.

Individual primate neurons fire as frequently as >600Hz [1] and they're not synced on the same "clock". It's a poor analogue overall. 1: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5067378&#

Similarly, I use Shutter Encoder as an early stage of my pipeline to convert to less painful codecs.

by dharmab 3y ago
It depends on the host OS and codec. On Windows if your OEM didn't include the H.265 license with your default installation you have to buy it for $1 from the Windows store (this is a Windows thing, not a Davinci thing). On Linux I thi

The free version of Resolve is so good. I looked for a reason to pay them- nope, free version did literally everything a non-professional would need. And they even have free downloadable lessons on how to edit - not just use their editor, b

I have about 300 logins and my memory ain't so good after too many hits to the ol' noodle. You don't expect me to remember all of those without a password manager? I'm much more worried about the SPOF inside my skull.

My 2FA OTPs are synced by 1Password which I can access from any of my devices; you can set up something similar with FOSS if you want full control. Authenticating to 1Password requires both a master password and a secret key; they have a fe

That lines up with my experience- for high-stakes decisions, they rarely give me a great answer. But for low stakes decisions, they do well at giving me a good enough answer. For example, I've been using them to help find gifts for fri
