Subarus have chain-based CVTs which are presumably better than usual belt-based ones.

Fun fact, you can buy a 500$ immobilizer thing at a Toyota dealership, and it has an option to persist that 6-key press setting.

Yes, exactly that, modulation depth. The screen goes completely dark, and our brains don't like it because: 1. It's stressful that something disappears abruptly. 2. It's stressful that it later appears a bit shifted in space.

If I buy something from amazon.co.jp or Apple and it arrives from Japan or China with DHL/UPS, I don't do anything at all in Poland. It's all transparent, I just get the package for the price on the website.

It's a norm to drive 160km/h in Poland. Pretty much everywhere on the A/S roads: https://ssc.siskom.waw.pl/ .

And not only that, the network of paczkomats where one can get their package 24/7 from a box which is <500m away from your home allows anyone to compete. I would go to x-kom.pl for computer stuff, mistama.com for Bosch devices, em

The refugees started coming months before Russia's involvement, after the organized campaign with the pictures of a dead young boy on the shore.

I had hopes for this to have an LCD screen, but alas. I will order a few iPhone SE today if it's still possible to find them.

And C# was heavy on `Finalize()`, but now is all about `using/Dispose()`.

That's interesting, but my brain can't stop thinking that it's impossible to play the instrument that fast and precisely. Plus, it clearly feels somehow that it was created to mimic the actual live performance of some sort. I

I would pay extra 100$ for an LCD. OLED screens' PWM give me headaches. I'm using an iPhone SE because of that.

It's not strange, there was a Moscow-Paris train before Covid-19.

The sad reality is that if one is _already_ in Amsterdam, he or she has to spend a week or two more there just to be able to get into the VanGogh Museum.

If anything, YouTube search in Russian context is extremely West-biased. It's impossible to find any original source of Putin saying anything, for example. Yesterday he was talking about Zelensky not being legitimate. The search result

It's enabled in some corpos. Allows one to make AirPods auto-jump between one's iPhone and work laptop etc.

Russia didn't induce the 2015 migrant wave. The small child on the beach and "refugees welcome" have happened months before Russia's involvement in Syria began.

I don't pay for Disney+ in Poland because they don't have Russian. Even though it's a native language of 1M+ immigrants and 99% of their content is translated. They probably just don't want my money, I have no other expl

When I read comments to posts like this, what amazes me is the level of denial people have about huge corporations. It's just not possible to do a rework like that, there is no one who can decide on that, no one who knows exactly what

I've been like you, but now I can't use the modern OLED iPhones because of the PWM flicker.

And now add the noise question to the equation.

Can someone recommend a cheap Chromeb\w* device reliably doing 4K@60? Some of them do that, but not with all displays. Some say they do, but have Intel UHD Graphics (as this Chromebox 5), which I find very suspicious.

Aren't Vortex AI Workbooks on Google Cloud exactly the tool to solve this?

No. Mario Kart, Splatoon, Yoshi, Smash, Metroid Dread etc. are optimized for 60FPS. It's just they can't do the same with an open world game, so it stops becoming a priority.

Very well and consicely put.

That's not really an issue for the stakeholders. Zelda is probably the only game that has this problem. Most hits - Mario Kart, Smash, Splatoon - run at 60FPS.

It's not harassment. It's just there is some set of managers of various levels tasked with increasing the % of people using the online account in Windows. They have a metric, and they work towards it. There is no one in the compan

"Honestly, I’d hoped there would be people who, at least in private conversations, would say something like, ‘Guys, this is war; people are dying.’" This is just so naive. And people in the US Secret Service casually discuss how b

It's just a very loud part of the crowd. The other part, which includes myself, are control freaks. I personally pay for YouTube Premium, but for longer train trips I download everything using yt-dlp and view the files in VLC. I'v

I remember even John Gruber (!) was complaining about something like this back in 2015. That matching functionality is something so brittle and suspicious that of course has to be avoided.

I've found that just having a tilted window is enough to make a difference. Then it's always <800ppm. I do monitor C02 levels in the office, and noticed that I never check the value if it's <600ppm, and that anything &g
