The one made out of plastic? That one sucks compared to the one I mentioned before.

MS Teams does not work properly on Firefox for example (I’m forced to use it once in a while for work). Same with other web-apps that often don’t function correctly.

On Android Chrome manages to stay open while multitasking while Firefox will close the tab 90% of the time requiring reloading the page. That’s especially annoying during check-out or logins when I need to switch to a 2FA app.

I also remember services you could pay to get your captcha solved via a browser extension. You could also register as a captcha solver there to earn a few bucks stupidly solving captchas. Although I’m not sure if they were actually legit.

archive.org is great, but is it just me or is the site just super slow all the time?

When I was younger, you’d still buy games in a physical store and one time I found a great sounding game “Fury” (an online PvP RPG). I went ahead and bought it with my pocket money and was super eager to play it. I even remember reading the booklet in the car while driving home, imagining how fun that game will be.

At home I then installed the game just to find out the the fuckers have shut down the game servers just about 2 years after the initial release of the game rendering the game absolutely unplayable.

I’m still kinda pissed about that, and I still have that box lying around somewhere.

not to forget scientific alchemistry

It says max. 0.3% caffeine content in the coffee dry matter. Roasted Arabica beans have around 1.5% caffeine (although it may vary significantly), meaning that decaf may have as much caffein as 20% of regular coffee.

You are the reason we can’t have nice things.

Have you also found that their serving sizes are way too small or is it just us?

I think you have just single handedly solved world hunger with your pasta weighing method

Powder is mostly filler though

I would imagine they store the highest available quality only by default and do on the fly transcoding until a certain threshold of views per time is reached. At this point they would then store the transcoded versions as well.

For videos with a lot of views it only makes sense to store the transcoded version as, like you say, storage is cheap. But fact is that the vast majority of uploaded videos get <1k views and for those it probably would make more sense to transcode them otf when needed.

There are a bunch of vulnerabilities for VLC for example. Some of them are based on modified .avi or .mkv files.

Note that those are all known and already patched but there are certainly some vulnerabilities out there that are unknown and/or unpatched. You’re quite unlikely to get one of those though.

The biggest security issue probably is an unpatched system so don’t forget to keep your software up to date.

Seed and… seed?

Probably not what you’re looking for but Linux Mint has the option to encrypt your drive when you first install it. It’s as easy as clicking “yes” and setting a password.

Apparently you care so much that you took time to write this post.
