What if they told him “the candidates are a closed set but we’ll consider you next year”? Then it would be after the midterms and hopefully both houses would push against the constitution-defying shenanigans.

Yes, the timing does not change whether the source is directly in front of, behind, above or below you, but people still tell these apart somehow. I think it’s the frequency response of sound from different directions reflecting off earlobes.

My sister told me she had problems recovering her password. The page said “email address not registered” when she tried that but “email address in use” when she tried to create a new account. She eventually tried “Sign in with Google” (it was a Gmail address), which led to a permission page, making it seem like she was setting up a new connected service to the account. She went through with it and saw her profile page with all her details, history and credits. By the time she navigated to another page, her account had been reset to a new one with nothing but an email address… The service admins did have a backup though and restored the account.

And I remember a site that would show you your password in account details, and did not even support https… in 2011 up to fucking 2015. Gaining control of all 300,000+ accounts (not hard if the backend’s security was as strong as it seems to have been) would not have been valuable itself (users could not interact, the site was basically a quiz game with a leaderboard akin to freerice.com) but it was for children 6-18, most of whom would reuse passwords. And it was designed by CDI.cz, a major web design agency with high-profile Czech clients including the post office, a top 3 telecom, a major heath insurance provider and the national railway company…

The camera’s USB interface tends to be rather slow, sometimes not even using the full USB 2.0 speed. USB-C card readers sometimes have USB 3.0 and internal ones are very fast, so you’re only limited by the medium’s read speed. And it allows a card swap if you have 2 so you can keep recording with a brief pause.

Use one without connectivity. Or get a microSD to SD adapter and a Wi-Fi-enabled FTP SD card… but I don’t think they make these anymore, much less durable, fast, high-capacity ones. Or get a USB-C microSD reader and keep it in the car if your phone has no free microSD slot.

Most of these ran fullscreen and changed the resolution to 640x480 or 800x600, which most monitors supported. I had a widescreen LCD that would always stretch to fill, quite annoying…

And a little lizard runs across the bottom every once in a while! I had a Czech version, very painstakingly localized (but nothing beat The Way Things Work).

You could stream 144p6 video with phone-like audio with a RealPlayer browser plugin and a 28k modem in 1998. Very few websites served video but some TV channels were available live like this, maybe also in 240p15 at double the bitrate with a luxury 56k modem or ISDN. Viewers with slower modems could often download such videos as VODs (depending on copyright because those didn’t have RealPlayer DRM) as WMV (with Microsoft’s proprietary codec better than MPEG-2) or AVI (as MPEG-2 so you could burn it onto a CD and view on a DVD player but it’s unlikely you’d have a big disk and CD burner but processor too slow for that video). DVD-quality video (high bitrate 480p30/480i60/480p24/576p25/576i60, now considered low-end for movies) only became available to stream about 10 years later.

Yeah, thanks for pointing out the absurdity of that argument with the Roomba vs. Jetsons maid example.

That’s not really genAI, is it? More like a classifier.

And her name is Balena Etcher, right?

Whatever, as long as they’re all there in some capacity. I feel like my brain is good at equalizing within reason. I had headphones that when unplugged a bit, they probably put the capacitive mic in series with the drivers, muting a mid frequency band, effectively making it sound like someone used a shitty “vocals removing” tool.

And of course, missing bass (tiny phone speaker) or anything over 5 kHz (MW band of AM radio) doesn’t sound good either.

To prevent them from floating away of course (look at their shadow)

QR codes can have arbitrary looks even without dirty tricks (abusing the error correction to add a logo or taking advantage of central sampling to color all but the middle 3x3 square of each data pixel) but boy, is it hard.

Examples:
https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/31694735/18805217 (strings a long number in Number mode (3 decimal digits per 10 bits) to the URL, and somehow the resulting number turns out to be a small even number times a very high power of 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQkWjzqMbuA (uses padding bytes plus maybe some of that “intentional damage” in QR codes with logos)

It is designed to especially penalize ⬜⬛⬜⬛⬛⬛⬜, which is a part of the finder pattern (big squares in the corners) and the swastika.
