Only if your microwave is poorly shielded. 2.4Ghz works fine right next to mine with the router on a different floor, on the other side of the house.

I rode back from a Phish show in Albany, NY when there were big fat flakes coming down at night on I-90. It was my first show and also first mushroom chocolate. It was like going warp speed the entire way home, long white snowflake tracers across a black background. Very fun to watch, although the trip home took a lot longer because we could only do 45 rather than 65.

I dunno, JPEG XT maybe? At a loss here.

Why did Android also use HEIC, did they choose this just to be a dick like Apple?

Let’s try this again: in a world where Apple is not a dick, what modern image format do they use that isn’t subject to these same codec requirements?

If they were doing this just to be dicks, they’d spin off one of their own formats like they did with ALAC. They didn’t, they used HEIC which was also used by Android (which is now using AVIF).

Apple definitely chose it to be a dick.

What other image format supports HDR and modern compression algorithms? AVIF also requires a special codec. This is just codec stuff, I really don't see it as anyone being a dick. Android can also use these modern formats, with the same requirements if you want to open them on Windows.

Kinda surprising to me that people so frequently recommend using Linux here, yet taking 30 seconds to install a free codec on Windows is apparently a big deal.

For W10, you install an app to get the codec, then you’re done. It’s built in on W11. Same as HEVC video which is used very commonly in piracy. Are pirates out to make it “purposefully painful” or are they just using modern codecs? Android also can save to HEIC or AVIF.

Referrals are electronic for those running a modern EMR, like Epic. The systems exist, it’s up to both sides to implement them.

Theres a rule that no one follows on the roads, when turning right (or left for that matter) you come to a complete stop and then proceed. This applies even if there is no stop sign or the light is solid green.

Can you cite this law? I’ve never heard of this. You have to yield to pedestrians, but coming to a complete stop for a right on green seems excessive. I’ve not once seen this, nor heard this is how it’s supposed to work. Right on red, sure. Same with left on green, why would you come to a complete stop and potentially get rear-ended?

Found this article which says it’s not true in Canada:

I don’t think the weed is going to be that great without all the attention that commercial weed gets. Grow media, nutrients, training, pruning, dealing with pests, etc. Not to mention, wild plants are going to get pollinated and end up seedy and not very strong.

This is the single issue that has kept me away from Linux for the past 15 or so years. I always get to the “install GPU drivers” step, completely fuck it up somehow, read things online for a few hours, get frustrated, and return to Windows/macOS until I try the experiment again in another 3-5 years. I’m about due to give it another shot.
