Things always break for you just as you’re about to experience their reaction, regardless of the medium, abstraction or delay (live/recorded/news articles…)

Inktvip@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I had found a way to listen to audiobooks for free, now it's paywalled - seeking suggestionsEnglish2·2 months agoWhat’s MAM? I only know it as media asset management
Inktvip@lemm.eeto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Paris pollution after they added bike lanes and restricted carsEnglish6·2 months agoEven with a privately owned car, driving somewhere is often still cheaper than public transport here. Including when factoring in maintenance. The only thing that might offset it when driving alone is parking costs.
Every time my wife and me want to visit a city I look at train tickets as it would be convenient to just get off the station in the city centre, only for me to realise that I’m way better off just driving there, and then use buses/metro to get around the city itself.
Inktvip@lemm.eeto Gaming@beehaw.org•Discord confirms it's moving toward 'becoming a public company' as it hires a former Activision executive as its new CEO8·3 months agoDiscord routes over their own servers and uses a private I3Dnet backbone to spread the signals across the world. The latter is one of the reasons why discord video is very good.
If discord did any p2p there would be stories all over of people getting ddos-ed after joining a voice call / screenshare.
In general, discords tech is pretty solid overall. The platform itself is just getting shittier.
Inktvip@lemm.eeto /r/50501 Mirror@50501.chat•It's sad that it has come to this, but I guess we'll start.English4·3 months agoWhen I first read that sentence I thought it referred to Luigi
Inktvip@lemm.eeto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•‘Sorry mate, I didn’t see you’: when drivers look but don’t see cyclists on the roadEnglish4·3 months agoThe closest I’ve been to an accident was trying to cross a very busy intersection full of pedestrians, cyclists and cars. Intensively looking out for them and wait for a safe moment, then missing a full sized tram.
I’ve had instant feedback on my headset for years now and it actually sounds weird not to hear my own voice back.
Inktvip@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What some weird stuff your body does?(can be NSFW)5·6 months agoSame. It’s a very useful trick for scuba diving.
Inktvip@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What some weird stuff your body does?(can be NSFW)5·6 months agoI have that with my thumb. A very useful QOL mutation when it comes to pushing on things
They’ll be released as YouTube shorts
Inktvip@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•China’s plan to dominate legacy chips globally sparks US probeEnglish4·7 months agoFor most hobby projects I just try to stay within the jlcpcb smt assembly parts library these days. For some reason it has actually gotten harder to get parts locally over the years as a consumer.
That has actually lowered the bar for small prototypes/projects enough that I’m using it for some company projects (PCB design isn’t something we normally do but it can be very useful at times).
Inktvip@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Matter 1.4 tries to set the smart home standard back on trackEnglish4·8 months agoAlso you need to pay (18k/year iirc) in addition to that as well. Next to the fact that matter itself is quite convoluted from an implementation standpoint.
It’s really not made with things like startups or niche products in mind. It’s really a standard by and for the big companies
Inktvip@lemm.eeto cats@lemmy.world•Random cats love me and it makes me happy. They always just approach me and want strokes.161·10 months agoMy cat only wants belly rubs. Anything else isn’t good enough.
Inktvip@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Israel detonates Hezbollah walkie-talkies in second wave after pager attackEnglish83·10 months agoExcept that these pagers were distributed to more than just hezbollah. AUB (American university of Beirut) medical workers had them too, for example.
Also fire departments, hospitals and other medical services. They’re extremely reliable, last a very long time on a charge and don’t shatter when you accidentally drop it.
Thanks! Seems there still isn’t a way to disable the left swipe camera though?
Wait, where do I disable the lockscreen camera? I haven’t yet found that option unfortunately.
It’s one of my most hated “features”, to the point where I just completely disabled the camera itself to get rid of it.
Inktvip@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could regulate something relatively inconsequential, what would it be?14·10 months agoIf you have a surround setup, try boosting only the center speaker. Dialog is usually played through that.
Someone else mentioned a compressor. If your tv/hifi has a night mode, it’s doing that exact thing.
Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.
I’ve seen a factory being shoehorned into using it. Maintenance planning and all.
Needless to say that its not working out well.
