It does do some static stuff but I don’t know if you’d be able to feel that from another room.

CRT TVs have a very iconic high pitched noise. It’s somewhat similar to the sound of tinnitus. Combine that with some people not being able to hear those high pitched noises very well (especially as they age) it makes sense that you may have been able to hear them but not really consciously be aware of it.

In case anyone is reading this thinking “nah, there won’t be a time I wish I listened,” take it from me that I do. I worry a lot about the current political climate in the US and about talking about queer topics online. Like, obviously, today it sounds insane to worry about, but who fucking knows.

For fuck’s sake, they’re using period tracker apps to go after people for suspected abortions to charge them with “murder”.

A lot, or at least some, companies install root certificates on your devices and route traffic through a proxy over their VPN meaning even things that should be encrypted by TLS they can see.

It’s not really a problem, it’s just funny that so many forms of power generation we have are just boiling water to make steam that spins turbines.

That’s a really odd way to parse it.

a +   b
    -----
    c + b

Now that’s a good troll math thing because it gets really deep into the weeds of mathematical notation. There isn’t one true order of operations that is objectively correct, and on top of that, that’s hardly the way most people would write that. As in, if you wrote that by hand, you wouldn’t use the / symbol. You’d either use ÷ or a proper fraction.

It’s a good candidate for nerd sniping.

Personally, I’d call that 36 as written given the context you’re saying it in, instead of calling it 1. But I’d say it’s ambiguous and you should notate in a way to avoid ambiguities. Especially if you’re in the camp of multiplication like a(b) being different from ab and/or a × b.

They did the joke wrong. To do it right you need to use the ÷ symbol. Because people never use that after they learn fractions, people treat things like a + b ÷ c + d as

a + b
-----
c + d

Or (a + b) ÷ (c + d) when they should be treating it as a + (b ÷ c) + d.

That’s the most common one of these “troll math” tricks. Because notating as

a + b + d
    -
    c

Is much more common and useful. So people get used to grouping everything around the division operator as if they’re in parentheses.

Maybe they mean for a business?

“I didn’t steal and distribute your work, I just made a machine distill it down and able to copy everything meaningful about it!”

“Hello, this brand of tools that was specifically made for people to learn about? Yes, you’re no longer allowed to attempt to understand how they work.”

45° in Kelvin: ☝️🤓 Actually it’s not degrees Kelvin, just Kelvin

I misread that, oops

Wait wait wait, these are the same clowns behind the KSP 2 fiasco? Wowwwww…

Edit: I misread

Gambling disorder is recognized by the DSM, this comment comes across as victim blaming and ableist.

I don’t think monetizing gambling addictions so others can play for free is a great argument.

Dishwasher. It saves a fuck ton of time. I’ve heard it saves water, but I haven’t seen studies. I have a hard time believing it could use more if it’s full. Regardless, it’s faster. I hate chores. Make machines do them.

Only when you’re making sounds. Not when you’re being silent.

Debian’s website is such a pain. Why are the live ISOs buried?
