All public speed tests are nonsense in private use, unfortunately. The ISPs magically find the capacity you’ve been looking for, but only for that connection.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Creator of Embark's new "Elytra" anti-cheat (WARDOGS, Arc Raiders, The Finals) presents some information about how it works, mentions Linux supportEnglish
1·11 days agoUnfortunately cheats for competitive games are a huge market.
Unfortunately English is pretty much the worst basis for that, with its penchant to randomly steal words and mangle their spelling and pronunciation, rather than composing them.
Hmm. I’ve been keeping an eye on Veritasium’s output due to the news. All I can really complain about is that some individual videos are sub-par, which has always been the case especially when you have to branch out eventually, and some stories were essentially handed to them by someone else - but they’re upfront about it and still do the legwork to justify making their own video on the matter.
So because I like to be critical of the media I consume, I’m genuinely curious: What pattern do you see that justifies calling them a content mill?

51·12 days agoOh yes, won’t somebody think of the poor CEOs feeling discriminated when people point out they’re wasting money on shitty projects and suspecting there’s an agenda. Brilliant stuff indeed, and not at all transparent concern-trolling.

Technology@lemmy.world•[Opinion] Apple CEO Tim Cook's Legacy Is Dull Products And Spineless CapitulationEnglish
5·12 days agoIt exists to sell iCloud subscriptions, and by that measure (the only one that matters in this world) it’s a huge success.
Shipping goes far further than having a crush, it’s acting out the fantasy of being in a relationship with them. Or a fictionalized version of them usually. That’s fine if the character is already fictional, but really creepy and invasive in regards to a real person.
Honestly I that’s what I thought from context due to “closest family member”, your mention of his partner, and the ages would match. But clearly that’s not of interest to someone eager to project all their own issues onto you.
I’m so glad you got to figure out the person you are, and incredibly sorry you couldn’t share this with your dad. All the best to you and your mom.
I don’t flash people with automatic headlights, that’s just pointless. Doesn’t mean I wasn’t briefly blinded by them a dozen times an hour.
Adaptive headlights suck balls. They don’t recognize another car’s headlights approaching a corner, so they blind other drivers for a second anyway every time. I hate that people are too lazy to move a single finger at the expense of other drivers.

Technology@lemmy.world•World's first GPS-free quantum navigation trial succeeds at seaEnglish
161·19 days agoGPS is actually far more accurate than that. There is deterministic jitter introduced to make civilian use cases precise to only a few meters, but military equipment has the algorithm to subtract that jitter and achieve precision measured in centimeters.
Anyway, that statement is highly misleading. They were comparing to previous inertial navigation systems, not GPS navigation.
