Is this a good deal?

Found when browsing Market-Place. Looks like a serious sellers. Although no mentioning of low-ballers and tyre kickers.

The next frontier in IP parasites: codec royalties on content.
  • Reiterating why I find so many magazine to be trash nowadays.

    Overly set up for SEO, poorly researched and often just crammed with shitty ads. That they completely neglected the formats used by pirating and home content speaks volumes.

    That's why I now often prefer to just look up stuff on enthusiast forums, Reddit or to some extent Lemmy. The last hasn't gotten as good of an integration with search engines.

  • seen in Laos
  • Yup. Been there, done that :) Although, if you come in as a Westerner, I do recommend buying a genuine Honda. The hassles your save yourselves compared to the cheap Chinese clones are worth the "premium".

    Mind you, you can buy good used bikes for well below 500 USD. A new Wave 110i is just under 1100 USD in Thailand.

  • Hawaii.... King of the squids?
  • I've never been to Hawaii but lived in South East Asia.

    The big question I have is: how fast are they riding? Are they puttering around, barely breaking 40kmh which is a speed you can reach as a cyclist?

    That's very different to the squids you see on 1000cc bikes racing up and down at 70-160kmh weaving between cars.

  • rapid airborne deployable folding-wing 3D-printed attritable munitions carriers
  • That guy builds drones like no-one else's business.

    I wish Australia and more countries would invest into small businesses that can build these kind of drones.

    The cost to to effectiveness ratio of these is just insane. Ukraine has proven the effectiveness of loitering munitions.

    Edit: Fixed typo and grammar.

  • The wreckage of an ATACMS MGM-140A missile in Berdiansk
  • Yup. One issue from long storage is that the fuel in solid fuel rockets can start to separate. Ryan McBeth did an explanation on a possible cause on that AA missile failure.

    As you mentioned, some explosives also become unpredictable. The Takata airbags sending shrapnel into drivers faces comes to mind.

  • The Tech Industry Has a New Plan to Stop Right to Repair Laws
  • Even amongst enthusiasts I see not wanting to spend money as being an issue.

    Besides Linux support and a few more traits, ThinkPads have been known for repairability and they have a strong following. But, most of the followers only buy used ones because they can get them cheap.

  • Microsoft might want to be making Windows 12 a subscription OS, suggests leak
  • Thanks for looking into it. It's just standard TA with mods. I'm sure it can be made to run even more if you buy the steam version.

    Linus mentioned in one interview that Steam does amazing work for Linux adoption on the desktop.

    The problem is simply that standard Linux software is still a lot of work to get going and maintain. Work I just don't have time for.

    Trackpoint stopping while using and moving backwards when let go

    streamable.com Mouse moving back

    Watch "Mouse moving back" on Streamable.

    Mouse moving back

    I'm on a P14s Gen3 AMD using Windows 10.

    My question is: Is there a way in Windows to tweak the Trackpoint "neutral position" timer?

    I frequently to use the TrackPoint to slowly scroll and sometimes move the mouse slowly. Sometimes the mouse pointer just works well as a reading aid.

    The problem seems to be that the Trackpoint keeps "re-setting" its centre position every 2 seconds.

    So, If I move it slowly on screen it will often just stop, so I have to start pressing harder to keep going at the same slow speed. If I then let go of the trackpoint it will then shoot into the opposite direction.

    See the Video here where I move right until it forcefully stops. When I let go it goes left: https://streamable.com/2nbcy0

    I've already played with the mouse speed setting, but it doesn't change the behaviour.

    Nebula comment section through Lemmy?

    I've been on nebula for a while now. A thing that I miss compared YouTube is the comment section.

    It allows interaction between creators and viewers as well as amongst viewers themselves. I love picking up details in the comments about the video I'm watching or just watched.

    The idea has been floating around for over 3 years on this now declining platform. https://www.reddit.com/r/watchnebula/comments/foqjt1/nebula_comment_section/

    Given that Lemmy is decentralized, I can totally see the Nebula team integrating comments through a Lemmy instance.

    What do do you all think?

    Error 429: Boost for Reddit was fun while it lasted

    It lasted nearly 2 weeks longer than I had anticipated. First it slowed and now it's finally dead. "Error 429 - Too many requests" is the message I'm greeted with.

    Thanks Ruben for your work. I wish I had known the Boost app earlier.

    Im now eagerly awaiting Boost for Lemmy.
