I think the fix was to put a limit on the script, just have it run a couple times, the same as it would during the day, not just keep going until it gets stopped.

And at those prices I’ve bought it at least twice

Is the photo missing for everyone?

I think the bug and the cost were not that the cost was different at that time of day, but that by running at night without worry of interruption her script ran multiple times doing upload after upload after upload. If it had been during the day they would only have a few succeed because the line would get interrupted or couldn’t be used. Maybe during the day they’d only succeed on 3-5 calls but at night the script was making 50, 60, maybe even 70 calls.

Yes, but you said you were using Resolve for color grading. My understanding is you should still be able to use that on Linux, but I haven’t tried it yet myself.

If you’re willing to consider something not Wear OS, Garmin watches offer many of the same features and typically multiple days of battery life.

It’s not FOSS (IIRC) but I think Resolve is fully available on Linux?

People used to post Piped/Invidious links all the time, but that eventually became a problem because it meant the link often went to a different proxy than the one that might be a user’s preferred server, and it made it harder to copy the link for use with a preferred server. After some discussion, the consensus became that people should just post the YouTube URL as the main link so users could utilize the preferred proxy they likely already have configured, and then (optionally) include a Piped/Invidious link in the body text for those who don’t currently use a proxy but would like to try it.

I’m pretty sure I read the same or a similar story years earlier than that, so I’m pretty sure it’s a screenshot of a repost

I would like to have seen Montana.

Fries are usually not going to get you laid. But sharing a couple fries would’ve improved anon’s likability among that girl and maybe her friends, which is probably not a bad thing.

I haven’t paid much attention, but I had some myCharge units I bought at Costco last year get recalled. I suspect a lot of these have cheap batteries from suppliers that don’t put much effort into consistent quality. That’s “okay” with alkaline batteries where the worst that happens is they leak and maybe ruin the device they were in. Have poor quality with a lithium battery and you get a fire or even explosion. I suspect with Anker or some of the other brand names at least you’ll actually get a recall if there’s a problem. A lot of the other no-name, fly-by-night brands on Amazon or elsewhere probably don’t even give you that.

Wouldn’t breaking something make the exercise more difficult?

Ah yes, Crenshaw’s Law in action

I’ve long wondered about how that became a strong profanity

My school offered (from most popular to least popular):

1. Spanish
2. French
3. Chinese (I think Mandarin)
4. German

I think my child’s high school offers the same, although I don’t know the relative popularities. I’m confident Spanish is still most popular, and judging by the number of posters around the school from German classes trying to convince kids to take German, I’m thinking German is still not very popular.

I have been in some heavy downpours that have done just that.

TIL Zynga still exists

Our family had a 286 PC-compatible running Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS, built by someone at my dad’s job; I think he built and sold computers as a side gig. Looking back I strongly suspect all the software he included was not paid-for, or he bought it once and kept reinstalling it.

If it was pre-compiled that could also cause issues not just across operating systems but also the architectures, right? Like x86 on desktop versus the ARM architecture most mobile devices use?
