XML aims to be both human-readable and machine-readable, but manages neither. It’s only really worth it if you actually need the complexity or extensibility, otherwise it’s just a major pain to map XML structures to any sensible type representation. I’ve been forced to work with some of the protocols that people like to present as examples of good XML usage and I hate every single one of them.

Fuck YAML though. That spec is longer and more complex than any other markup language I know of and it doesn’t have a single fully compliant implementation.

If anything, that implies your windows are pretty well insulated, if the outside can get cold enough for water to condense on it. Unless condensation occurs indoors, I wouldn’t worry about it.

It would certainly help if the GitHub code search wasn’t utter garbage.

I know, I did read your entire post. As I said, it’s not unheard of for Windows drivers to be more fault tolerant in suboptimal conditions. For example: Windows GPU drivers in the early days of HDMI 2.1 needed a lot of tuning for tiny oltage adjustments to ensure signal integrity if your cable wasn’t exactly up to spec, basically compensating for a “bad” cable, whereas the Linux drivers at the time didn’t really try to do that. This doesn’t have to be the case for you, but it should be relatively easy to test.

If the cable made a difference, then that may still be the limiting factor. It’s not totally unheard of for Windows drivers to be a little more fault tolerant or better tuned for suboptimal cable connections. If you aren’t already doing that, try using a certified cable that supports the bandwidth and features you require for your setup. Besides that I guess you could only try the newest kernel version you can reasonably install.

Even if they were all properly recycled, which isn’t going to happen, this product still shouldn’t be sold. We don’t need any more consumables with large ecological impact. Recycling isn’t doing nearly enough to balance out the damage.

I would fucking hope not. TERM is explicitly passed along as the only exception, which is the only sensible default for temporary privilege elevation in a shell.

It’s a phoronix article, there’s never more than two paragraphs and a quote in there anyway.

I know. I’m not saying that this is a sound decision, just that quote doesn’t really represent the current situation.

You obviously need an AV1 hardware decoder to do hardware decoding of AV1. The GPUs you listed are the only ones with a builtin AV1 hardware decoder on the PC, though that list is also out of date. There are also multiple smartphone SoCs from Mediatek and Qualcomm that have an integrated AV1 hardware decoder. This is also not in any way an indicator for the level of hardware needed to do software decoding of AV1.

This is just going to repeat the argument from that locked thread in here.

Also rape, according to the Met, can only be done by people with dicks…

That’s the legal definition in the UK afaik. It is weird, but since people feel uncomfortable debating topics like this, it probably won’t get changed either.

No idea. Do you unplug your TV from the mains when it’s not in use?

It’s possible to auto-renew dev mode via SSH with a shell script running on an interval on another device in the network. I would give more detailed advice, but unfortunately it seems LG has changed that part of their API a while ago. The webOS manager linked above used to be able to generate a script for this purpose. I’m not sure if it still works, but it’s worth checking out.

Install the AdFree YouTube homebrew app for WebOS using developer mode.

Just have someone else hold it for you, smh.

I used a zyxel mini wifi router once. It would soft-brick when changing the subnet range. There was another cool feature that would effectively prevent a new admin password from taking effect until you entered a second one (basically creating a queue of passwords). That was fun to figure out.

You do realize how many animals PETA has euthanized? Hows that for “torture and murder of animals”? I stand by my opinion. PETA is at best ineffective and at worst an extremist organization doing their best to rack up controversies when they aren’t terrifying children, like attacking pet owners, stealing pets to immediately euthanize them, using the holocaust to push their message (ruled as “an offense against human dignity” in German courts), using the history of US slavery to push their message, pushing pseudo-scientific claims about autism or cancer, dressing up as KKK members, condemning people for using medicine derived from animals or animal testing, despite their VP using pig insulin. It just doesn’t end.

PETA is fucking unhinged and this is a great example. If anyone is up for a wild read, I recommend the controversies section of their Wikipedia article.
