I was just on a flight with an Asia based airline where even the most basic fare had 2 free checked bags and some pretty limiting carry on restrictions. It was amazing how much smoother boarding was because most people only had a backpack.

No, 5 is about ideal. If you are micromanaging with that many people on your team then you are neglecting other aspects of being a manager. More than about 7 and you start being unavailable to your team when they need you, and won't ha

The Pixel 7 Pro is essentially 3 years old and I notice next to zero difference compared to my Galaxy S25. I argue for most people they wouldn't notice a speed difference between even a 3 year old mid-range SoC and today's flagshi

I recently had to replace my Pixel 7 Pro and went with the Galaxy S25. My hands are much larger than average and it is amazing how unweildy I find the Pixel 7 Pro is in comparison to the S25 even though the size difference doesn't seem

The review clearly states that the screen failed after a few months. How exactly do you expect them to QC an issue like that? If the part arrives at your factory in full working order, you don't typically spend much time trying to make

It is best practice to put your cameras on a VLAN or otherwise restrict access to the internet. If you must expose it to the internet expose the VMS software and properly access not your cameras.

This is pretty much exactly wrong. Dahua and Hikvision are by far the largest OEMs in the industry. The other companies you list are SoC vendors only.

What is the requirement for open source FW? As long as you get a camera that is ONVIF certified then there is no risk of lock in as it is an open standard that is compatible with most VMS software.

This is pretty much my experience. Depending on what I'm setting up it can be different levels of pain, but other than adding a device or reorganizing my dashboard on occasion the majority of my setup is unchanged from when I first set

Canadian banks are just horribly, terrifyingly stuck in the past for their security. For many years there was at least one Canadian bank where your online banking password was your phone password. So it had to be exactly 6 characters, and y

Marantz has been that way for more than a decade at this point. I bought my Denon AVR in 2013 and even then all of the Marantz lineup was just a different case they charged more for.

Even then, what Chinese companies are competing in the home theatre AVR space like Marantz/Denon does? The companies I think of from China at most do speaker amps.

But this is talking about proprietary RAW image formats, which should be the data from the sensor with minimal processing. The entire point of RAW images is that you are skipping the majority of the ISP and applying those blocks in the proc

What is killing people's work ethic in your opinion then? How is that person in Japan paid? Are they able to live comfortably and not have to worry about whether they are going to be bankrupted by an unexpected medical problem or bill?

Last week I realized that this is bringing up the same feelings of anxiety as early 2020 where I'm living through something that I have little ability to change and don't know how bad it actually is going to get.

They have to be using upscaling. No matter your feelings on it, it is the way everything is moving and will become a requirement to run any "AAA" game going forward soon enough.

I just discovered this last week. It works really well as an Obsidian plugin. The downside is that some of the usual Gantt chart features like dependencies are a bit weird to use.

I agree. Give the average person the ability to make a good enough decision for their online security with minimal effort. I'm having a hard time being that concerned with TOTP 2FA being an option in the same location as passwords when

Agreed, my go to when feeling like I haven't produced real work in awhile is to document processes, especially if there is something I've noticed has been done poorly or been asked about a couple times recently.

Apparently the reason that all the Android based ereaders use Android 11 is due to the eink driver not supporting anything newer. Though it looks like they have moved to Android 12 on the latest devices so they must have figured something o
