When I see a mention of Star Trek in non-Trek Communities
  • I'd say Tasha is the one that goofed. Worf would be better in hand to hand combat so should be in front in case it came to that while Tasha covers him from a higher position while also guarding the turbo lift.

  • Your electric car will fall apart before its battery pack does, study finds
  • I had to dig deep to find this:

    an average EV battery degrades at 1.8% per year, it will still have over 80% state of health after 12 years, generally beyond the usual life of a fleet vehicle.

    You still have to assume they're using average fleet vehicles use as their comparison, but at the same time also that they're using 80% battery as comparable.

  • Tyreek Hill learned he isn’t allowed to do what white people do
  • Because it isn't a lawful order. License and registration are all that's required for a traffic stop. If the officer had probable cause that a crime had been committed, then it would be a lawful order, but they didn't. Therefore, his rights were violated.

  • I like both, but usually prefer Ubuntu
  • You gave a snarky response implying that there aren't ads on Ubuntu and they replied with confirmation from a developer that they'll be forcing ads on ubuntu.

    Are you still arguing that canonical isn't serving ads on Ubuntu? Or are you just being an ass because you were proven wrong?

  • Whats on your USB stick? Looking for recommendations for handy tools
  • I don't keep a Swiss army knife set of distros anymore. I put tumbleweed on a USB. It's rolling so I update it when I plug it in, then do what I need to do.

    I used to have a USB with Ubuntu LTS and whatever the newest Ubuntu was. Then another would get something else that I needed/wanted. I always ended up wiping the drive and adding the newest release every single time. I was always out of date by the time I needed one of them for boot repair or something. This was also a time when persistence... Wasn't very persistent. With tumbleweed I can install whatever I need and it's there next time. I'm sure you can do the same with any other rolling release, but tumbleweed is in my opinion on par stability-wise with incremental distros. It's my first grab whenever I need to check a PC. If I need another distro or boot USB, I can make it from this one with a second USB. I suppose the only thing I can't do is make a bootable USB if the computer I'm on can't access the Internet

  • Kimcartoon was taken down today (DMCA)
  • As far as I know, it isn't illegal to attain or have media for personal use. It is illegal to circumvent DRM and to distribute the media.

    So, for example, it isn't illegal to record a stream. But the hoops you'd have to jump through in order to do so would end up circumventing DRM or with incredibly poor quality.

  • It's time for a change
  • I agree, my bedroom has a wall with a sliding glass door facing South with a street light outside, and full wall length window on the opposite side. It's bright as all fuck at all hours. Even a sliver of light would feel like the sun was shining in your eyes from all directions. I painted it a flat dark color and can sleep now.

  • It seems like the logical way to work
  • It's pretty wild. I have recently been ripping my DVD/Blu-ray collection and encoding them from a clean rip to my server. Encoding at 480p is perfectly acceptable if you're starting with a high enough bitrate source. You can tell it's 480p, but its so much better than Netflix's absolute trash streams that will give you "UHD" at bitrates lower than a DVD. 360p does leave something to be desired, but they're still perfectly watchable.

    There are certainly shows and movies that deserve higher definition, but I've found that unless they're from the ground up meant to be purely visually masterpieces, it's better to have lower resolution and a matching bitrate than to ruin the experience with artifacts.

  • Household Vehicles Were Parked 95% on a Typical Day in 2022 — So Much Time & Opportunity for EV Charging
  • I'm pretty much in the same boat, but I charge pretty much every other day since I have a 35 kw leaf and drive minimum 30 miles a day, but it can nearly fully charge over night. I actually purchased a charger that has an adjustable power output to charge slower at night, for various reasons. I go to a fast charger maybe once a month for a quick boost since I don't have 240v set up at home yet (I'm lazy and it works fine, it's hard to justify getting it installed when it costs <$50 a year at a public charger for those boosts).

    I'm not sure if it's all that much better for the battery to charge slower than the full level 1, but my battery has been sitting at ~75% capacity since I bought it used a few years ago and I've put about 30,000 miles on it since then.
