I put it in an eWaste pile which I hope is sending it off to be “recycled”. There was no saving my palm pre or touchpads.

It’s hard sometimes, I needed a new laptop to get a better CPU for video encoding. I now have my older laptop, which is actually a hand me down, so it’s old, but it’s going to replace my even older laptop that’s running a 2nd gen i3. So that’s going to be the one I will likely bring to an eWaste site as it will no longer serve me. Sure I could keep it around as a spare, you never know, but I really doubt that will happen.

All my laptops are running some form of Linux, except one. That’s used to run turbo tax (I know) as the windows software is typically much more affordable over the website version. So that saves me like $50 each year.

Anyway, eventually I’ll need to toss my old pixel xl as the battery only last about 45 minutes and I think lineage isn’t able to update it, I didn’t check the last few months. I was planning to have it be my kids first tablet, but a battery replacement is around $75 I think… Just seems not worth it.

My trouble is battery health of older phones and laptops. I typically purchase scratch and dents from Dell outlet and for phones wait for the battery to only make it 4hours before it needs a charge.

Yes, you can get a replacement power supply.

That’s how you can draw basic things on the c64. It’s showing the alternative symbols for the key.

Could have been made by someone local. They are likely using the SD card drive by now. I hope… I didn’t get to read the full article as it asked me to sign in and I aborted.

This might be unique to each parent as well. Some children do require extra attention and it is very difficult to managed work time in.

With most schools letting kids out around 3pm it’s not easy to keep the children occupied before the work day is finished. This leaves parents either on a work call with kids heard in the background or working late at night al week.

Think of it as if the person is a caretaker and a full time employee at your company. It’s basically two full times just that happen to overlap during the day.

I think calling it a privilege is really unfair but if the people are missing work and not meeting deadlines then management needs to step in and work out a solution. Work life balance is hard.

That picture looks like his on the set of Enterprise.

My Ring app is going crazy the last few weeks about people saying drones are flying around. I’m sure it’s normal…

Great article that really helps me understand the various presets of AV1. I re-encoded a 8gb 1080 h264 with AV1 preset 4 and crf 22. Came out just under 800mb. I do see some compression artifacts in the resulting video, but nothing serious and the bandwidth savings is great.

I have also found that encoding speed doesn’t change much between presents as much as just scaling the output to 720 instead of 1080. Which is what I do for files that I’m ok with being standard HD res to get that almost 2x encoding speed.

Smart watch will be what I get my kid instead of a smartphone. Its basically the modern day bepper in my eyes.

Have we forgotten about Turning Red already?

Lion king 2 and lion king 1 1/2

My take: Lion King 2 has some rushed parts and other parts are too long. Overall, ok but forgettable addition to the series.

Lion King 1 1/2, starts a little rough for me, but once Timon leaves home the movie takes off and it’s a good time. Recommend a watch if you have the first movie burned into memory.

Good thing banks use sms for two factor codes

What’s TDD?

If it just language add the audio track to one of the mkvs. Ignore me I see your episodes are different cuts.

I found using Kodi helped resolve video codec support in my case. It was for AV1 nlon the Chromecast 4k, which doesn’t support AV1, it seems to mostly work for smaller AV1 encodes. I guess it is using software decoding.

Maybe the switch for me would require staging on a burner pixel that supported. I have a lot of shopping apps, that I may not need, but need some time on the testing phone to make sure everything works before taking the deep dive.

This is also how I made the switch off windows. Stagged it on a space older laptop to see what’s what.

I’ll get there…

If they remove it from the water, then change the availability to be OTC for multivitamins with fluoride. I want to be able to get it with our having a copay and whatever else the Dr wants to charge .

Ok cool. I was just doing a few encodings manually today and was working on my own encoding application that would be specifically for us usage, but maybe this will be fine as well. Thanks for the work.
