  • I have two Amazon Echos that I never use, but they burn gbs a day of bandwidth

  • If that’s a unifi interface, it’s historically been wildly inaccurate.

  • Should I be concerned about Email responses from my custom email being flagged as spam?

    Jump

  • You’ve got to be absolutely positive that your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are set up correctly and working. The , you need to monitor it like a hawk to make sure that you’re not blacklisted, but beyond that, should be OK. Your email domain could get you into the junk folder depending on the curmudgeonliness of the company’s admin etc.

  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

    Jump

  • My viewing position is about 330cm/11ft from the wall where my tv is mounted. That works out to roughly 80” television for 4K viewing pleasure. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship

    8k would be ridiculous, and the compression would be a significant factor.

    Remember when ISP companies went after people who used over 500GB in a month? I remember.

  • Polanski apologises over claim he can increase women’s breast sizes with his mind

  • Wrong Polanski. I made the same mistake.

  • Academics know a great deal about the field they study, more than the average person, but they know a lot about their specific niche. More than anyone else in the world — that’s the point. Other academics have their own niche, which may be adjacent, and they can discuss the general subject area knowledgeably, and learn from each others perspectives.

    My experience with the conversations of academics when discussing their fields of study is that they swirl ideas around. New areas of research and how to conduct that research - “what if X?” I don’t listen to his podcast very much, but the huberman podcast is a lot of that discussion of ideas. Unfortunately people don’t realize that, while evidence suggests X, it may be a faulty conjecture. It’s not limited to Huberman, and it’s not a knock on the cast. It’s just important to be aware as a listener that not everything said is proven - and that which is may be generalized and extrapolated and may not be true for you.

  • What is a good reusable bottle that isn't a mould farm?

    Jump

  • FWIW water grows less mould than water with sugar/flavor/etc.

    Assuming USA, kleen kanteen, with a simple screw-off cap. Or yeti with those slider caps. Personally as a desk worker my water jug has no cap.

    For cleaning, soaking for 20 min or so with hot water and something like unscented oxyclean, powder brewery wash, or a bit of dishwasher powder works very well at removing organic matter - for stainless and glass.

    Help with TFTP server to flash Openwrt router

  • You’ve got your network adapter set up to get an address from DHCP. If you need to host the server on 10.10.10.3, you need a network adapter set to that IP. the server can’t bind to 10.10.10.3 if no adapter is set to that IP.

  • Tesla FSD turns off more U.S. consumers than it attracts, survey finds

    Jump

  • It’s been my experience that people are really resistant to handing over control to the computer - not FSD, but simple active cruise control and lane centring.

    Personally I like it, because I can offload some cognitive load while still being actively involved in driving; I don’t trust any of the self driving tech to be unsupervised.

  • SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink

    Jump

  • Third option: municipal fibre

  • My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worse

    Jump

  • Entirely agree.

    Ui changes for the sake of pointing out how many ui changes you shipped for your annual review is what is making people upset.

  • How do you not feel lazy at your wfh job?

    Jump

  • I just remember that when I go to the office, I spend 4-5 hrs fucking around doing office things. Because of distance, refilling my water is 5 min, not 1 min. Washroom is 10 min, not 2 min. If I run into someone along the way, it’s 20 min. Recognize that you’re more effective because you’re focused and at home, not stressed from and about the commute.

    If you’re ahead of your work and chores - and work in an industry that makes it possible - consider over-employment as an option. Personally, I don’t need the stress, don’t have the time management, and my industry doesn’t support it.

  • Why do some many things come with their own wifi module

    Jump

  • I imagine it’s a rf interface, because the furnace typically is isolated in the house and also is metal, and surrounded by metal. Because it’s not sending/receiving volumes of data, wifi isn’t needed, and the complexity and the frequency may make it unreliable whereas a rf to dongle situation is more reliable.

  • Why do some many things come with their own wifi module

    Jump

  • Are you saying there’s a bit on the board which talks to a dongle somewhere, which in turn talks to wifi? I’m not sure I understand the scenario.

  • Why is open source software assumed to be secure?

    Jump

  • “Open source code means you have the entire globe of developers collaborating to detect and repair those vulnerabilities.”

  • In 2019, 6 percent of NSW burned. 3 billion terrestrial vertebrates are estimated to have been killed. There were fires in Canada’s west didn’t go out last winter. They pretty much always do. Huge sections of central Canada are on fire; the smoke is reaching flans Finland.

    It’s only going to get worse.

  • Wi-Fi 8 won't be faster, but will be better - more details emerge just hours after Wi-Fi 7 protocols are officially ratified

    Jump

  • I hate the local ISP who hands out “free range extenders” as a promo. They all broadcast at 100% and use 80mhz channels. I pick up something like 150 networks in my house, which is just ridiculous.

    Then add in the garbage chip in my laptop… ugh. Channel sharing can’t come too soon.

  • It is not uncommon for employers to retain ownership of the material you produce, though it sounds like they’re expecting you may have a portfolio for the work you’re in. Explain the situation to the hiring manager.

    Would wine from back in ancient times and civilizations have been dogshit compared to a basic marketable wine produced by modern viniculture?

    Jump

  • Standard saccharomyces will ferment all the simple sugars, unless interrupted. Some fruit don’t have much in the way of complex sugars (which are responsible for rounding out flavour), and some fruit just don’t have a pleasant flavour without sugar present. It’s also possible that there’s a Brett or other bug in there that ferments the less simple sugars and brings it down stupidly dry. I think plums are on the stupid dry list; I’ve had them in a sour beer and it was… crushingly tart.
