For components and wires that are made to a spec, I feel far more comfortable buying from CPC or Mouser.
Amazon sellers just feel like a coin flip if the guy is going to ship you CCA 24 AWG instead of OFC 23, in the hope you don’t notice or bother complaining.

Cutting dev time, because instead of having to use smoke and mirrors to create…smoke and mirrors, they can just use GPU manufacturer’s libraries to render it in real time.

Five guys do unlimited refills, but the cup is 5 fucking quid. Similar tale in Marugame Udon.

And that’s on top of a tenner each for the burger. At least they don’t police whos cup is whos.

I would love to see a fork of this that makes it sound like a Geiger counter.
Maybe with scale options, so it doesn’t just become a humming sound.

Huh, TIL.
They’re now using plant based PLA, at least.

2048x1080 is DCI 2K.

The slight difference between the ratios is why home releases of films often have small black bars at the top and bottom, as the DCI flat ratio is slightly different than 16:9.

The great thing about television, is that “live” is a flexible concept.
The playback software could happily play 10 seconds ahead of what’s actually on the screen, and have plenty of time to translate like that.
In the same way that we sometimes put delays into live events to allow the subtitling systems breathing room.

Thames Water casually pulling strings at UCAS. (Or at least, truncating them)

It’s crazy. I’ve been doing all my insulation calculations based on a delta of 20 (20 inside, 0 outside).

To hit the same heating requirement, I’d need to triple the amount of insulation for -40.

And the silly thing is, a pub pint should be 568ml. A pub in the UK selling less than a full pint wouldn’t be a pub very long.

When I use Gumtree, I’m always on best behavior, as I know what absolute shits people can be on it.
I check it’s still available, if I want to knock anything off (within reason) I do it nice and early, then I schedule a time to collect (or even offer a deposit if it’s a good deal).
I picked up some garden furniture recently, and it was a very good price. By the time I got there, the lady told me she’d had 10 people trying to haggle an already giving-it-away price down.
Too many people like the “hustle” and reselling, when really Gumtree is for transferring items from someone who doesn’t want it, to someone who does.

Depending on where you are, there are a lot of charity bike places.
Mine came from there, I got a very solid ridgeback meteor for just over £100.

I looked into this for my car. The conversion has a 50 mile range, essentially replaces the engine with an electric motor, locks the car in 3rd gear, and replaces the fuel tank with batteries.

It cost about £3500, which was a bit much for me considering the car only cost £3k, and I could just sell my car to buy a 100mile+ leaf for the same outlay.

can you beat french bread

When it’s a day old, you can definitely beat someone with a baguette.

Remarkably, I did the same, and still had something disabled…by Spotify.

The unit had Spotify compatibility (as in, an input mode where you also got access to liking a song by pressing the volume button).

Spotify dropped support for it in the app, so it’s not useful any more. It’s not really a problem, Bluetooth input and media controls still work, and I’ve disabled the Spotify input. But remarkable how possible it is for companies to ruin something!

I’d buy them a Roku, and show them how the global search works.

Easy answer for anything she searches for. It’ll either be free, paid, or not on any of the platforms.
