It shouldn't matter as long as you don't reuse your password. If the site is hacked to the point where someone can inject javascript, I'd assume all of my data has already been compromised without logging in.

At least Google's password manager is tied to your login, which should be a lot better protected and people wouldn't give away that password as easily. You can always export your passwords, they're not locked into a password

I am frustrated by password managers auto-generating nonsense. It increases the friction in moving away from a specific manager and people essentially become locked out of accounts if they can't access their password manager. I imagine

That wouldn't scale because each new set of printer dots would require a complete re-encode. You can find raw rips on the high seas, so anything less than hard-coded dots would just get stripped anyway. If you take rips from two source

You're making a lot of incorrect and dismissive generalizations. If you're able to notice the differences in color calibration and film grain, more power to you. Most people can't explain the difference between the saturation

It's impossible to have a pristine signal when talking about film and tv. Having to transmit over wires and having to go from analog to digital will introduce quantization noise. Additionally raw capture and playback isn't an opti

We fundamentally disagree on how removing film grain, or changing things like saturation, affects end user experience. I don't believe it harms the viewing experience in a meaningful way. I respect that you care about artists' int

When going from film to digital, you have to modify the source noise in some way and there's no way to avoid it. A 1 to 1 transfer is possible, but I haven't come across any. Instead I have seen so many times where films either de

The artists' intent argument doesn't hold up, but is one that continues to be used as justification for "tradition". Most people aren't watching movies strictly in IMAX or even a color calibrated TV. Most default TV

Similar to dithering, I believe film grain does help you resolve finer visual details. Having no texture would cause issues when trying to match things shot on different cameras as well. I agree with you that many movies and shows are guilt

I'm not sure if it's because of growing up watching most things online with limited bitrates, but I realized I dislike film grain a lot. I know that to a certain degree, film grain helps humans resolve finer details. Similar to us

This isn't surprising, but is disappointing. Stable Diffusion 2.0 removed NSFW images from the training set making human anatomy generation a lot worse even for SFW prompts. This Techcrunch article is pretty unfairly biased against all

Being on YouTube is the same as being on Television, seeing it as a network is part of the problem. New media doesn't fit into old frameworks. Many YouTube creators have set up successful crowdfunded channels. Certain topics are always

Slightly off-topic, what is the current status on the progress of VLC and other local players rendering WebVTT? There's certain effects, like karaoke, on certain Youtube videos that, when downloaded in the right format can covert perfe

What do you mean by working better with speed controls? The playback speed multiplier affects both the video and captions for me on Youtube. I like opening up the "transcript" too from the hamburger menu on YT. For local playback

I wish more companies took this approach. A current Amazon listing has the Pi 4 4gb for 170$ usd and Ebay similarly has 120$ for an open box. I've seen the 8gb ram frequently listed for over 200$. I recognize the shortage of new Pis bu

AMC alone doesn't say much about the greater TV industry since people have loyalty to specific shows and not the channel. Breaking Bad didn't become popular while airing, it became popular because it released on Netflix. Cable cha

Having to push the entire class to learn instead of just the self motivated is a bureaucratic decision. Everyone is paying 80,000$ to be there, it would be problematic for many reasons to ignore those that seem uninterested. For pre-college

I know for a fact that YTM still has poor metadata support, the only way to fix it is to reupload the entire file. That's a huge reason why I moved to a self hosted solution. I know there were multiple cases where the metadata was wron

I think it's understandable that someone wouldn't expect to need a backup of their music library. At a bare minimum, I would expect iTunes to keep both versions of a file if an identical one can't be retrieved from Apple serv

I gave up on iTunes after realizing how aggressively and poorly it matches your library against its catalog. I remember times when I intentionally deleted a "match" and when the scan was triggered again it would erase my copy agai

I had a different experience, on export my files were all in the original encoding. The value of Google Play Music was that you could upload files. I have also never had any files replaced. I have enjoyed self hosted solutions since YouTube

I am a little surprised, I assumed Gamestream was mostly local. I imagined it was similar to Plex/Jellyfin where the computer is doing all of the transcoding. I know that the Nvidia Shield TV Pro is a flagship product and highly recomm

I imagine it comes from people's optimistic belief that trust can be rebuilt and bad people can be reformed. When a public figure was disgraced so openly, by the entire planet, any kind of comeback indirectly reflects a positive change

I am very happy about Github's clear and upfront 2FA policy to rely on TOTP and only allow passkeys as a secondary method. This feels like the most reasonable way to manage logins and security moving forward. I am not sure where fricti
