Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?

TIL sailing ships commonly moved around without wind by warping

Yeah me too. I tried searching around but it's hard to find something that's not sci-fi related about this topic. It might also be called "kledging" from what I read, but not sure if that's the exact same thing.

Yes agreed 10000%. S1 Picard was so confusing to me because of what you said. Did nobody in the writers room watch that episode of TNG?? There’s a few more too!!

“The Most Toys” asserts Data’s humanity over and over again. That episode with the Exocomps talks about tech sentience thru evolution and the effect on self preservation. That other episode about terraforming and finding the inorganic life forms. So many to choose from!

First 30 seconds of Picard: “These damn dirty robot slaves are so whiny and cranky!”

Me: 🤦

Android slaves in Picard conflicts with TNG canon.

Trapped tardigrades for propulsion in Disco conflicts with Voyager canon.

Those are my complaints.

I try to learn something new, but tangentially related. The beginners mindset helps my ego from getting big.

Biden Transcript Calls Into Question Hur’s Memory Claims: The president was never even asked about the timing of his son’s death

Jump

In fact, the transcript shows that Hur never even asked about Beau’s death. It was Biden himself who brought up the subject while he discussed a book in which he addressed his son’s illness and death, according to AP, which has reviewed the transcript. “What month did Beau die?” Biden asked, before adding: “Oh God, May 30th,” the correct date. After a White House lawyer said the death was in 2015, Biden asked: “Was it 2015 he died?”

So the transcript showed that Hur didn't ask Biden about the death date. The White House lawyer said the year and Biden was not sure about the exact month and day, but got it within the same conversation.

Sounds like it happened in like 10 seconds. If that's the case, I have "significant limitations" too...

Thanks for this one. My Google Home has the same capability for BBC and NPR so I tried NPR with Siri, but it just played the NPR live feed in Music. Know if I can get that hourly news report from NPR like the BBC one?

Recommendation for NAS

Jump

RoyalEngineering @lemmy.world 2y ago

I don't think you really need a 10gb network, unless you're pulling down 4k and 8k video files or if you have over 10 users connecting at a time.

At idle, power consumption of the NUC is very low--about 5 watts. At load, it's about 100 watts.

Recommendation for NAS

Jump

RoyalEngineering @lemmy.world 2y ago

Regardless if you use a NUC or NAS, I would recommend focusing on the processor. Make sure it can can handle the type of codec that you're wanting to transcode to and from (hevc, avc) on the transcoder device. Intel QSV is also pretty nice if your chip supports it and you don't care too much about quality.

Here's my (semi) educated opinion: Get a NAS just for storage and retrieval. Get a NUC with a modern chip and run your apps and transcoding on it. I have this in my lab and it allows me to upgrade in the future depending on what my needs are. If I need more processor power, I get a new NUC. If I need more storage, I can add an expansion device and/or replace the NAS completely.

If you combine the storage and transcoding into a single device on the NAS, you're locked in if your needs change and you will need to start looking at more expensive HCI options.
