I’m surprised Disney would be the reason. Epic has enough reasons all on their own.

Sales suggest, “Yes.”

@davidpierce@mastodon.social has been pretty bullish on the fediverse for quite a while now. It’s come up a few times on the vergecast over the last year or so. I’m not surprised he wrote this decent explainer!

It’s at Darlington and it’s more experimental than anything else. It’ll increase the site’s capacity by <10% (300MWe vs 3,512MWe).

It’s under 60% and continues to shrink as our energy needs grow.

AFAIK, the main issue wasn’t where they’re used but where they’re stored. While scooters riding on sidewalks is an issue, the bigger issue is them cluttering the sidewalk and becoming an impedance to pedestrians, especially those with disabilities.

… but if you take inflation into account if the price is stable then goods are getting relatively more expensive cheaper.

FTFY

Because he’s heavily invested in Nebula and believes their system is better for him and other creators in the long term. That doesn’t mean he believes YouTube monetization doesn’t work at all, just he prefers to keep bonus videos on Nebula to entice users to join.

He is using YouTube’s monetization…

If they’re getting a used desktop (unless it’s really old), it probably already has an Intel CPU with a decent enough integrated GPU to do transcoding without the GPU. Not only will that save OP money on their setup, but also on their power bill.

Per Jellyfin’s hardware guide, that’s only for recent AMD CPUs. If we’re looking at budget options (as OP seems to be heading), then we can go with older, used Intel CPUs.

Jellyfin server itself isn’t all that intensive. My “server” is running on a 13y/o low-end desktop CPU (Pentium E5800, in case you’re curious). However, if you noticed your laptop struggling, as others have pointed out, that’s probably when it was transcoding. While I want eventually update my server with transcoding hardware, I just disabled transcoding completely for now, and it’s pretty workable.

I think this article misses one of the big downsides to downsizing in California (where this article is focused): property tax. In California, property tax is basically based on purchase price. This means even if an owner can make a healthy profit moving to a smaller home, that profit might be gone in 10 years due to the increased property taxes. Even if seniors are interested in downsizing, it might be financially detrimental to do so, and they stay in place, which constrains the supply of “family homes”, making them more expensive and basically adds to the housing crisis.

Interesting, I’ve never had any issues. Have you had better luck with other distros? What WiFi card(s)?

I want to preface this by saying I am against the death penalty.

The argument

The state tells you murder is illegal. Except when the state does it.

really falls apart when you consider all the other things the state is allowed to do that would be otherwise illegal. The simplest comparison is imprisonment but there are dozens of others.

I keep buying used ones. The problem is they’re starting to get harder to find and the price it’s going up.

I wish this map would use a different colour for the EU election. I’m pretty sure some of the member countries also have national elections and it would be nice to be able to see both.

Therefore his death was PAINLESS.

Except for the 22 minutes of struggling to breath. Unless you’re discounting those by saying he was unconscious the moments before his death. If that’s the case, most forms of what we consider painful death are after at least a few moments of unconsciousness.

I mentioned this is another comment, but the crazy thing is that’s the driver’s view from M1 Abrams. Typically, in hatches open operation you’d either have a Crew Commander (and/or gunner) standing with their torso out of the turret for better visibility (and a second set of eyes), or a ground guide watching where you go.

The craziest part about that too, is that militaries typically acknowledge these poor sight lines and have procedures in place. I drove a Bison in the Canadian Army, and we had to have either a crew command (up higher on the vehicle with a better view) or a ground guide (literally a personal walking in front of the vehicle).
