Not a bad idea on paper. The games are not actually on Netflix. You just download an alternate version of the app (with no DLC or iAP), and login to your Netflix account to access the game. Some solid indie games on there.

That said, I would never in my life pay for Netflix, but my family has it, so ya know, free mobile games when I’m bored.

I don’t really mind them all that much. The communities are easily blocked if you don’t like the particular type of content.

Despite the general cesspool that Reddit has become, it still has some good content within many of the smaller subs that are less affected by bots and politics. If I can get some of that content without giving Reddit an ounce of traffic, it’s fine by me.

That said, I’m also the type of Lemmy user who frequently scrolls through every post and runs out of new posts. My app marks every post as “read” when I scroll past it and often I clear the whole “top today” list. I don’t read every post though. Anyways, I appreciate any way to get more context on Lemmy.

It’s nothing dystopian like you think. Basically just a variation on camera sensors:

[…] bio-inspired cameras that capture the world more like the human eye does. These are called dynamic vision sensors, and they work like motion detectors for each pixel. They only “wake up” and send information when something changes in the scene, rather than constantly streaming data like a regular camera.

These bio-inspired cameras are also highly energy efficient, using less than 1% of the power of normal cameras.

Took a quick look at the free tier,

• 3 users
• 100 devices
• Basically all tailscale features

That seems pretty reasonable to me. Main account and two accounts to share. With just friends and family, I doubt most people will reach the 100 device limit.

Yeah. I remember using a custom keyboard back when I had an iPhone 4S lol

TL;DR from Wikipedia: In photon upconversion, two or more incident photons of relatively low energy are absorbed and converted into one emitted photon with higher energy.

Basically photons are combined into a photon that is nearer in wavelength to visible light.

Oh 100% you’re right.

I’d wager this wasn’t one of their first tests (and maybe not even a test at all). Looks to me like an advertisement/publicity stunt/demonstration.

I could be easily wrong since I haven’t researched this exact event, but I think it’s safe to assume it’s more than just a test since they have cameras out.

I mean, what better way to sell a new and untrusted device than to put your own trust (and life) in the product.

Would you sell a bullet proof vest if you didn’t feel safe wearing it?

Would you buy a bullet proof vest if its own inventor didn’t feel safe wearing it?

Turns out, it’s illegal to remove them in the US:

I’ll be leaving the cowbird egg in the nest, but will keep a close eye on the other eggs.

I’ve heard that the cowbird will retaliate if it finds its egg missing. Won’t that happen?

Well dang…

Hopefully the Robin babies do alright.

Is that for real? How would there be two species of eggs together? Is it common?

Basically, the big circle is what you think of them, and the small circle is what you believe they think of you.

Animated version :)

I’ll give it a look. I’m still in the early stages of the project, so it’ll be a bit before I get to the point where I work on the database side of things.

Mice got all inside my 2016 car. Passenger seat belt set off the airbag light. Turns out they chewed up some wires. Dealership found mouse evidence under almost every panel front to back and decided to total the car.

The dealership and KBB quoted about 7 grand for the car, but insurance gave me nearly 13 grand as the payout. That money plus some of my saving went straight into buying a new car. Fully paid up front.

I was real sad at first to have my car be totaled, but after getting the phone call saying how much the payout would be, I didn’t mind so much. Getting a new car had been on my mind for a while, so it ended up working out perfectly in the end.

After reading some of the other comments, I’m definitely going to separate the systems. I’ll use something like json or yaml as the output for the raw scraped data, and some sort of database for the final program.

That’s an interesting read. I’ll definitely give json a try too.

That’s good to know.

Gonna be honest, I’ll need to research a bit more what validating against a schema is, but I get the general idea, and I like it.

For initial testing and prototypes, I probably won’t worry about validation, but once I get to the point of refining the system, validation like that would be a good idea.
