Out of curiosity, why? My first thought is, why bother with local storage if your turnaround on video chunks is 2 seconds? What's disk going to add besides a little bit more resiliency in that 2 second time frame? This at the cost of h

You actually got a space on the drivers license? When I moved to California and got a drivers license (easiest test process of my life, as a European, but that's another story), they dropped the space in my two word last name. Reads qu

I suspect I have ADD as well and did the same thing for the longest time, that is putting off getting help, but I have an initial appointment tomorrow to either confirm, or rule out, a diagnosis. I ended up needing a nudge from someone else

Seconding what the other commenter is saying. I’m in CA vacationing right now for a month, flew in last week. Literally the same experience getting in, and on the daily, as it’s been for the last decade of visiting annually. I was talking t

It's my understanding there were plenty of USSR nostalgics in the east given how long it took for the free market to "trickle down" and the east to catch up economically. They never did catch up all the way anyway.

Technical inspections are mandatory across the board in all of the European Union, although the rules (such as the interval between inspections), may differ between countries. The minimum is every two years, some countries do yearly. This i

You'd think previous investors would want some actual liquidity though at some point. The early investors have had plenty of chances now but surely not everyone's been able to cash out. But hey, they have lots of funny money now I

I don’t know about y'all but most of the fun of catching up with someone you haven’t seen in a while is to catch up on the stuff that’s new, not the same old things we used to talk about in high school. We’re (hopefully) all progressin

The Netherlands has a legal death man switch. You're able to consent to, and set up euthanasia early on in your diagnosis with the intention to die at a later date when it gets worse. I don't know the exact numbers but in practice

What do the IP addresses belong to? As in, are they data center IPs, or residential addresses? Consider blocking all of Tor IPs, known data center ranges and the likes.

I read their comment to be “I trust myself to lose a hardware key, but not a software key that’s backed up and synced across all my devices.” That’s one way to look at it: passkeys are just a more convenient form of authentication compared

I'm probably younger than the other Belgian data point in this thread but when I went to high school in the late 2000's our colonial past, warts and all, was taught during history class. Down to the pictures of people with chopped
