For some context, it’s because Indian movies were conventionally much longer in length (2.5 to 3 hours). Movies are written to have a cliffhanger at the interval, so much so that it’s sometimes referred to as a meta joke.

Glad I could help!

Edit: I see now that you had already ordered. I was glad to be part of this journey nonetheless.

Just cause 4. I loved fooling around in JC3 and almost 100%ed it a couple of years back, barring some challenges I couldn’t find. I’ve read so much about 4 being a downgrade that i didn’t bother.

I had it on gamepass though and tried it a week ago. The cut scenes are atrocious but the story is compelling enough, and the villains actually seem more interesting. Other than the graphics, the actual art design is pretty good and it’s a good change of pace through a South American setting.

Edit: pre-coffee words corrected

LosslessCut doesn’t only use lossless codecs. It losslessly cuts video files encoded in lossy codecs.

You’re confusing cause and effect. It’s lossless because it cuts at keyframes and does not re-encode.

If it did what you’re suggesting it wouldn’t be lossless anymore.

That’s an interesting example. Here in my city there was a case of a transport officer crashing his car into someone. He smelled of alcohol and was slurring and it was in the news cycle with great outrage and irony.

A few days later news broke that he had died of diabetes-related complications. Apparently the smell was not alcohol, it was ketones from him being hyperglycemic.

Going back to your “standards” statement, for an individual it would make sense not to get into a car this person drives. At the same time it makes sense for the court not to convict him until he is proven guilty. Both standards have their place and rightfully so.

If your device is on this list and you’re technically-inclined, consider installing lineageOS.

Your original discussion with @lemillionsocks@beehaw.org, was about power usage while gaming, and the corresponding worst-case battery life. I was referring to this as efficiency.

I understand now that the term was misleading The M1 is 25% more frugal than the M2 under worst-case load.

You are absolutely right about efficiency. Even the (less efficient) M2 is way better than the 6800U for example under single-threaded load. It’s ~5W vs ~15W, around 3 times as power hungry as the M2, while performing slightly worse.

The M1 is around 25% more efficient than the M2.

I played Prey two games ago but I still feel like i just left it. The more time passes, the more I’m convinced that it’s my favorite Arkane game. I love the Dishonored game world and lore but I think Prey is a more ‘whole’ game.

I honestly didn’t expect the ending either, while I could see what was coming with Dishonored/2. Felt cathartic.

India doesn’t have dual-citizenship; you give up Indian citizenship when you get your Canadian passport.

Thank you. My partner is afraid around dogs and cats, and news like this makes me feel bad for her.

I had the same dilemma about emotional support animals.

Peek means that as long as you’re touching the thumbnail, you see the zoomed in image (after a short delay). When you release, it snaps back to the front page. Without peek you would touch, view the image, and then gesture ‘back’ to go back to the main page.

This works on articles and gifs too, not just images. So if the thumbnail is informative you can save a lot of time and steps and get a quick gist of what the article is talking about

I didn’t realise how much I missed image peek (long press a post to popup the thumbnail image) until I switched back from jerboa to sync when it first came out. Especially since I mostly seem to be reading webcomics.

I don’t comment much, but sync’s draft feature feels very solid.

Otherwise I did feel jerboa was good and would have gotten used to it.

Lossless quality: The highest quality you can practically get, where it’s as close to a 1:1 recreation from the studio as reasonably possible.

Nitpick: lossless would actually bit-identical to the original. The trade-off in compression level is based on how much processing is required to compress/uncompress it. The audio fidelity remains the same; 1:1.

Because why not! Easy way to SCP files over, run scripts. Repurpose old devices as always on, low power servers. It ties in nicely with Tasker so if you want to extend functionality it’s easy.

So did my Asus motherboard. It didn’t install armoury crate, but it pop up as a suggestion. Maybe op just clicked through absent-mindedly?

Fair!

As a digital nomad, I’m guessing you would have been to relatively low CoL places like Bali, Thailand, maybe Eastern Europe or LatAm. You have to remember that your experience as someone from the global north, earning in a strong currency is very different from a local person there.

Not that i disagree with you that rankings are flawed but by the same token, Canada /is/ in the top 5 for many people from low standard-of-living countries
