I like to play devil’s advocate and am interested in sharing knowledge about my hobbies! I like gaming and VR, AI, herbal vaporizers, media analysis and philosophy!
Nah. People didn’t get it wrong.
Just the fact that even PR people try to breakdown costs by extremely over-inflating costs and they still come up short! And that’s not even including the fact that the hotel itself is not as good as the most premium Disney Resorts, but this one is more expensive?
Other notable runner ups: Fixing LED light strips that separate from their adhesive, holding guitar nuts in place well enough for daily use but still mallet-able to remove it, and of course for gluing ones enemies eyelids shut
Power, Domain Name (if using a standard paid one instead of the cheaper route), VPN are the 3 that I pay for that I feel are the bare minimum.
I pay for a domain that’s $12, but you could easily get the $1 ones for the same purposes. I pay for a static and service VPN with Windscribe, which comes out to be like $35+$89 respectively. So that’s already $136 a year excluding the cost of power. I could cut that cost easily, but I use them for more than just my selfhosting so I feel like it’s a fair price for what I get out of it.
I’m not sure if iGPU’s are typically used for transcoding, which may be part of why you’re having difficulty finding solutions.
As for re-encoding H264 into H265, increased file size is common. Encoding from source for the first time into H265 will lower file sizes, but if you’re re-encoding something you’re almost always going to lose data while increasing file size, especially on hardware encoders due to the methods and time it takes.
Basically, try your hand at Very Slow software encoding. Wait a day. This H265 file will likely be smaller than the Hardware Encodes of the same thing.
Just a bong? C’mon y’all, get with the B.O.A.T. logic and waste some money. Buy an ounce and a mason jar and smash the OZ of bud inside the mason jar!
Hm so it is, I could have sworn that Temu was around before 2022
I think Temu has been around a bit longer, Wish just got more popular during Covid
With Ublock Origin, click on the extension and at the bottom there is “element zapper” and “element picker”. I usually select one of these, then use it to select the unwanted pop-ups.
Just be careful, sometimes the popups are designed to blank out the whole page you’re trying to view. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t
Are you not able to use the element zapper to block the pop-up from appearing?
PSN hates refunds so I can see that being a large influence.
In similar spirit, my theory is that this is part of how they fix the issue where PC players and PS5 players have issues making/accepting friend requests. Recently the players ID’s were changed from being randomly generated to a set assigned ID, and I would have bet money that the PSN account linking could have been a way to resolve whatever issue was going on there.
Alas, no way to confirm this now haha!
Full frame or part frame?
The former is 1bil^6 pages and the latter is 30 pages
Drink when R2 appears.
If you think that’s not enough for all 9 movies than add C-3PO.
That should have you well paced for all of them without killing you or being too slow.
doesn’t change the fact a lot of stuff is still made in mainland China.
Which doesn’t change the fact that you can do your due diligence to avoid purchasing things made there? That is their point, afterall…
I use lib-redirect for everything if I really need to get to a reddit link. It’s rare, but there are certain types of communities where I’d like to get a “average laymans” perspective and unfortunately just due to the size here on the fediverse there is rarely wide-spread availability. As you mentioned, specific games. Lots of hobbies. Even the opportunity for consumer tech talk, if I’m interested in replacing something that’s 8+ years old there’s just not a lot of existing content to search through here and that leaves blog posts and… Reddit.
I’ve had plenty of time recognizing what astroturfing looks like, so I rarely feel like I’m left out of options to search. All that said, I’ve been doing this a lot less since the whole shift happened. Maybe an endeavor every few months, rather than few days/weeks.
My friend pointed this out for the recent live action Avatar show. Their clothes were pretty much immaculate the entire time
I’ve been having issue with it the last couple days, but I also tend to just have issue with it overall lol
Search the credits on linkedin and the like, I’m sure you’d be able to find some
I like this logic, lets all become shareholders.
