this game is great, i installed it just now. I heard the game is bad, but even still, i assumed the ui problems must have been from running the game through proton. but no, it's literally just that bad

also, on wikipedia there's a picture of the truck climbing a steep mountain. but what it doesn't show is that the truck actually goes much faster up steep mountains than over flat land because the physics system is terrible and the car doesn't slow down at all horizontally when it starts moving vertically.

It says in the article

15% of these subreddits contained content likely posted by bots or corporate trolls specifically designed to promote companies or organizations.

The title is just misinfo I guess

That's two data points influenced by countless other factors. Like the economy, which I mentioned.

Could obviously still be framed, assuming the will to frame him. I think it's unlikely though.

I think that plenty of people who voted for Trump would be fine voting for a woman president as long as she's strongly advocating change

These people just know that things aren't great, they don't know whose fault it was or what policies caused it. So they vote for the person who says they'll change the most.

The largest deciding factor stated by people after voting was the economy. People remembered that there was a lot of inflation under Biden, and didn't want to keep similar policies. Of course, we know that Trump's first term had a pretty large influence on the state of the economy under Biden, and Biden's policies probably didn't hurt the economy. But the average voter is not that informed.

No one cares about qualifications. They care about vibes and what their friends think.

look at EV prices in china for a more accurate depiction of the battery progress that is being made

apparently the government EV subsidy for outright purchases ended in 2022, but they're good enough at the manufacturing now that EVs are still exceptionally cheap. 70-80% of world lithium-ion production also takes place in China, so it makes sense.

There's a lot of reasons that I don't like the Chinese government, but they have been doing a whole lot better than the rest of the world with investment into the future of technology from what I've seen. The number of top-rated CS and EE schools in China is doing a whole lot on its own.

they're actively manufactured for consumers, and cheap and available enough to be relatively competitive with lithium ion on there

i hope isdt releases a firmware update for the q6 nano for that if RC sodium ion packs become available.

although afaik energy density per volume and weight isn't quite there yet

Steam said I have 173.9 hours in Hollow Knight. Then I clicked play, clicked abort launch, and now it says 16.1 hours. The in-game display, which is actually accurate, shows 30.7 hours.

It doesn't count offline playtime (or at least it didn't in the past). So most of my playtime for Half Life, Half Life 2, Celeste, Slime Rancher, and some others I played mostly while traveling is in invisible. Except people online say it's still tracked for the refund policy lol. I suspect there might be a weird interaction with the case where the steam deck dies when a game is paused in sleep mode.

Anyways not really related to the post I just wanted to rant about this because the time tracker is weird and kind of annoying

I was trying to set up mail for my server, to send status emails, gitlab emails, etc. I know this can be done with relays but I was interested in sending mail directly using SMTP. Apparently my ATT residential internet blocks outbound signals on that port by default, although there are several reports of people calling customer support and getting that changed.

The most recent thing I can find was someone on Reddit 3 years ago:

xnojack: Probably depends on the rep. Just got mine unblocked a week ago. I read online though its better to say you're looking to allow SMTP outbound rather than port 25 outbound. Cause on the reps end its called something like SMTP outbound filter. (link)

I tried to call in and get this changed, the rep was very helpful but either something's changed on their end or he was looking in the wrong place. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you have gone through this process recently and know if this is still a thing, or have any advice.

 

This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.
