Ah I see, I thought your criticism was that I was repeating someone else who had already referenced Clark and Dawe in this thread. My mistake. If you just don’t like when people reference or repeat commonly known jokes, then you’re free to your opinion. I don’t think there’s really any point in discussing it though, since your issue is predicated on an opinion we don’t share.

In my defense, I did check if any of the other replies had specifically referenced Clarke and Dawe before I made my comment, and unless federation delay is in play, I don’t think I repeated anyone else’s reference to the same.

The front just fell off

It doesn’t always! That’s why I specifically said it assumes the people using the addon are representative of the overall population.

Yes, Return YouTube Dislike made by Dmitry Selivanov basically maintains it’s own like/dislike database using like/dislike data from those using the extension, then applies that ratio to the public number of likes to estimate how many total dislikes there are among everyone including those not using the extension, assuming the data from users using the extension is representative of all people who liked/disliked. Overall it works well enough to tell what people’s sentiment is, and the more people use it, the closer you get to having the actual number of dislikes.

And then there’s me with a 9800x3d with a low profile cooler in a fractal ridge. It only throttles under synthetic tests so I just say fuck it and let it run at whatever temp it wants to run at.

I think the warning you might be thinking of is that a breaker can fail to pop if an inverter/generator is on the same circuit as a high wattage device. Since some energy would go directly from generation to device, the breaker will only see the “net” energy consumption. So if the generator puts out 1500W and the device decides to draw 3000W, a 15A breaker only sees 1500, and won’t trip even though the device is pulling way too much. If the breaker was sized for the wiring, then the wiring to that outlet could catch fire due to the breaker not tripping. That’s the main reason I know of why a generator or inverter should be on a dedicated circuit, to force the energy out one breaker and in another, so that the breaker can see an accurate measure of energy and trip when necessary.

Generally that’s fine and I agree, but one edge case that people overlook that I think is worth mentioning (and maybe what gp heard about and is trying to articulate) is that having an inverter or generator on the same circuit as a big energy consumer means that the breaker wouldn’t see the total energy being used by the consumer, and so it might not trip even if the consumer pulls too much wattage. That’s the main reason I know of why power sources should be on their own breaker - so it doesn’t hide power from the breaker but forces it to go out the generator circuit breaker and back in the consumer breaker so it can be protected properly.

Yeah I’ve tried those but it seems like such a hack. Weirdly, the one handed “pull screen into reach” doesn’t allow you to swipe down across the notifications bar to open notifications, in that mode it only registers swipes that start from below the notifications bar. And the floating button gets a little unwieldy since it overlaps with the volume popup. And in the “show notifications” mode, the button opens notifications but doesn’t let you close them (once you press it twice for the “control center” it no longer does anything)

Not to mention it doesn’t really help with the phone itself being uncomfortable to hold. I’m trying my best to vote with my wallet, but that has meant sticking with a Pixel 2 up until a few years ago, and the Pixel 5 was my “only 2mm taller” compromise - I completely overlooked the fact that the Pixel 2 screen starts like 1cm from the top while the Pixel 5 screen starts nearly at the top. The Pixel 10a is almost 10mm taller, so I’m not sure if I’ll be sold on it.

I actually bought a OnePlus 6 something (t?) at one point fully intending to give in to a bigger screen but I hated it and returned it.

I don’t use a case and I use Lineage. I’m not really concerned. I already need to crop the top of the screen in developer settings just so that I can reach the notification bar, I’m not really enthusiastic about getting something even bigger.

sad pixel 5 noises

I’ve been waiting for a camera bump free upgrade, the 10a might be it but I’m reluctant to continue up the phone size escalator.

Gluetun should be able to do this without any extra tools, check out the qbittorrent example on the gluetun wiki: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/advanced/vpn-port-forwarding.md#qbittorrent-example

I do something similar for transmission, though I put it all in a script that I mount into the container so my command is just VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_UP_COMMAND=/bin/sh -c "set-transmission-port {{PORTS}}"

Not necessarily, sure the average person will have a much harder time, but inevitably, word of mouth networks form and people quickly share which VPN isn’t currently caught by the blocks. That’s how it is in mainland China, and they have very strict DPI going on so the word of mouth workarounds are like “use this shadowsocks provider” etc

I think the idea is that any VPN that doesn’t comply gets IP blocked. But that’s obviously a cat and mouse game since VPN services are a dime a dozen and you can always rent a VPS and tunnel to a respectable VPN through it.

I only lament the potential loss of future HDR DSNP webrips 😔 but at least we’ll still have HDR from UHD rips

I want a clam chowder pipe straight into the kitchen.

Dang, how long have you been using it? I also only use RO water with my GC but I’m hoping the monthly descale gets whatever builds up. I had the boiler flakes and got a replacement unit also because of electrical issues (GFCI tripping randomly) so I think I just have the regular aluminum boiler now.

Can you please outline for me what the policy was before and after the EU intervention? It’s my understanding that it changed nothing about the actual refund process, which has always been flexible, but was purely about the wording during checkout. Correct me if I’m wrong. I can’t remember a time when I couldn’t refund a game that I played less than 2 hours, and I’ve been on steam for 17 years.

Edit: Looking at the EU regulation, it appears they don’t actually require Steam to offer refunds once you download/play the game. So their longstanding global policy is better than what is required by EU law. I believe they EU action just forced them to parrot the stricter EU refund guideline (14 days without downloading) during checkout, meanwhile they still provide their regular relaxed policy of allowing you to download and play for up to 2 hours and still refund it within 14 days.

Yeah it totally has nothing to do with proton, steam input, steamvr, mods, remote play / together, family library sharing, flexible refund policies, or the multitude of other things that other stores don’t do.

I assume this sick Nazi fuck just wanted to make a snuff video of an innocent mom, wife and US citizen.

It really does seem that way - the whole situation, especially being prepared recording and positioning himself at the front corner of the car so he could safely take a glancing bump from the car without actually risking his safety gives me flashbacks to bullies on the playground who would stand in front of you and move to block you just so that you’d run into them and they could call the teacher and say you pushed them. That but a grown ass adult and given a gun.
