Murica.

This was literally the overarching plot for the last season of curb

Pagers operate at a lower broadcast frequency than cell phones. Longer wavelengths (low frequency) are less impeded by walls and interference.

This is only true for steam keys sold on other platforms afaik

Yes but if it’s first instinct is “go left” on 1-2, it’s pretty apparent the reward function could use some tuning

You gotta donate to planned parenthood for every dollar spent there. It’s like buying carbon offsets, but for sandwiches. /s

lol. Did this in my old building - the dryer was on an improperly rated circuit and the breaker would trip half the time, eating my money and leaving wet clothes.

It was one of the old, “insert coin, push metal chute in” types. Turns out you could bend a coat hanger and fish it through a hole in the back to engage the lever that the push-mechanism was supposed to engage. Showed everyone in the building.

The landlord came by the building a month later and asked why there was no money in the machines, I told him “we all started going to the laundromat down the street because it was cheaper”

It’s unavoidable - once the cheese gets hot enough the steam will either force the liquid cheese out of existing holes, or it will make its own holes.

Make sure they are fresh out of the freezer when you put them in, as this lets the outside crisp up more before the inside becomes lava. Once you get close to the prescribed cooking time, you need to just sit in front of the oven door and watch them, and as soon as 2-3 break open, take the whole tray out

It’s pretty common in Canada to be able to order fries with sour cream, green onion, tomatoes, and cheese/queso. (It’s the best thing on taco bells menu and they don’t even have it state-side)

That being said fries are way greasier than a baked potato, and they are better suited to more acidic condiments (ketchup, malt vinegar, etc)

You can just point your domain at your local IP, e.g. 192.168.0.100

The nests (and many other thermostats) let you operate the fan independent from the AC.

I configured my fan to run 15 minutes every hour regardless of whether or not the AC/heat is running and it fixed all of my issues with the upstairs being way too hot.

Not with 64gb ram and 16+ cores on that budget

The plaintiff(s) in a class action usually gets a pretty decent chunk - substantially more than the class members because they are the one’s doing all the work on the class’s behalf

The payout for class members depends on the number of people who sign up, which generally depends on the burden of proof. If you need to provide a receipt the payout is generally much higher because it gets split up fewer ways. I’ve gotten class action payouts as high as $300 when all I had to do was dig up through my bank records to find out the date of a transaction, and as low as $2, when all I had to do was click a link and enter my email address

They aren’t talking about system administrators. They are talking about 3rd party software presenting a privilege escalation prompt (administrator access) and changing your default browser without you knowing about it

You could set it up in docker whilst still on windows, and then all you need to do is copy/paste your compose file onto your new Linux machine, that way you aren’t struggling to learn two things at the same time (alleviates the “I don’t know if the problem is with my docker config or my host OS”)

“how dare they use the right tool for the job without taking the time to learn how to do it sub optimally first”

That’s still not that much data

Gaming is 10-20% of the ISPs total network load, and the MW3 launch constituted like a 110% increase over base network load, so yes it’s a lot of data.

Advertisements and crawlers constantly use up far more bandwidth.

Crawlers rely on private connections between datacenters, very little of that traffic touches residential ISPs

Fight the real problems instead of blaming the users.

Literally no one is blaming users - There are plenty enough reasons to hate most ISPs, we don’t have to make up facts to find new ways to be mad.

Literally why CDNs and bitorrent tech exist

Neither of these reduces the amount of bandwidth an end user requires to download a 120gb file. If anything torrenting makes it more problematic because the upload is spread amongst a dozen low density residential users rather than a single high throughput datacenter

This is just the ISPs posturing to raise rates.

Ya absolutely. Doesn’t change the fact that ‘gaming uses very little bandwidth’ is only considering the UDP packets sent during an online gaming session and ignoring all the other sources of usage.

I literally have 5-10gb of updates queued up the first time I open steam nowadays

Read the 2nd sentence of the article. They are talking about 120gb CoD patches

In my experience about ~8% better but 4x slower to transcode

It’s markdown, if it detects “[number][period][space]” at the start of a line it converts it to an HTML ordered list, which always starts at one. You should be able to escape it with a \ before the period to bypass the markdown
