FBI has had instigators in major protests going back at least 50 years. But these days, they don’t even need to have a “real” event, they just make up whatever the fuck they want.

The issue is that, while x265 is more efficient, it’s not THAT much more efficient until you get to 4k or high bitrates. Encoders using x265 tend to be overly focused on file size, and prioritize it over video quality. And that sort of makes sense - x265 needs a lot more decoding power, and excludes a lot of otherwise capable devices. Why would you do that to only save a small percentage of the space needed?

Why do they keep making them like that?

Because you keep buying them.

You had a choice of buying clothes with bigger pockets. Regardless of the reasons or trade-offs, you chose the ones with the smaller pockets. It’s the same reason that women’s clothing often lacks pockets.

If you skipped the area code, it probably failed the general validation check. To really test this, you would’ve needed to try a different (but completely valid) number

Most affected: almost entirely deep red states.

I’m calling it now - they’re going to literally blame Democrats for the weather.

If the fines are not enforceable, then they are only a suggestion. Thus defeating the entire point of the HOA.

Not taking a side on that, but that is the end result.

YSK that one of the early groups targeted by the Third Reich and the Holocaust were LGBT people. They just never got that much attention, especially compared to the Jewish people.

Invasion. You’re talking about the US invading Greenland. Not just a “land-grab”

it’s

😠

Generally speaking, I’ve found Lemmy to be far less accepting of different viewpoints than either Twitter or Reddit in their heyday. The echo chamber is extremely strong here, even though the “correct” narrative is different.

My primary reason for using free ESXi has been career development. VMware was the biggest player at all of the biggest potential employers, so it made sense to be familiar with.

These days, they’re all looking to jump ship. Some are actively migrating, others won’t get there at all.

But all of them now value experience in alternatives at least as much, if not more than VMware.

I’m still using free ESXi, but the next time I rebuild (i.e. new hardware), it will not be ESXi.

Musk owns less than 13% of Tesla. He’s the largest, but by no means majority shareholder.

I think you meant to say It’s made by a company run by a literal Nazi.

You are not - it’s year over year sales of new EVs.

Congrats anyway on getting an electric. I’ve been surprised at how little stress it’s been, given how much emphasis has been placed on the downsides. I definitely won’t be going back to gas.

Under US law, yeah typically. There were a number of companies that hoarded lead paint in 1978 for exactly that reason, and it was perfectly legal. Similar story for asbestos. What sucks is afterwards, there’s no clear line to know if someone might have the banned substance. I also have no idea if this is the case for this particular law.

But regardless, red dye 3 isn’t banned until 2027 for food, and 2028 for drugs. These will all be reformulated by that date, but for now production continues unabated.

They’re still around. They just like to keep a low profile. Ever seen someone in a trench coat, or wearing a mask so you couldn’t see their face? It was probably a secret dinosaur.

If this is one of the physically smaller models, usually indicated by only having a USB connector (vs a separate power brick), you can probably ignore all of the advice to take it apart to use a SATA connector. These smaller ones don’t have SATA, but rather a soldered USB connector.

The advice of using ddrescue, R Studio, etc is better, but still probably not going to help you if the drive doesn’t show up at all. At this point, you’re hoping that the drive lost its MBR/GPT (basically the table of contents) and nothing more. This really isn’t too likely, although you may have some luck getting the data you care about.

Take the advice of professional recovery very seriously. You need to consider how important the data is to you, because this might be your only chance to recover it. Also, IME it’s usually a couple thousand, but that really depends on the service.

Depending on the models involved, some phones work with a standard PC USB-C stocking station. You might already have one of these for work.

That seems unlikely. Demand for these things tends to taper off. It’s not like the products using this dye immediately had their formula changed when the law passed. Instead, production of the dye will slow down as those products get a new formula, and they’ll continue to use old stock until it’s depleted.

Besides, the article points to other likely sources of pollution.

To really find out, you probably just have to ask them directly.

At 16, her personality is visible, and her taste in partners has probably shown. If she’s into guys with ties to drugs, violence, etc, this might actually be a step up.

It still has the glaringly obvious issues OP was asking about, but you don’t always get to choose the cards you’re dealt. This could be the least harmful choice available.
