I have a Pi400 that I used as a 4K UHD Kodi client. It worked great. The only thing it lacked was Doing Vision and HDR10+ support. Normal HDR10 was fine.

Now I just use the Jellyfin app for my TV (LG), which also support DV.

I could see how people 400 years ago could think that makes sense.

Cable. We have DOCSIS 3.1, which supports 10Gbps down and 1Gbps up. 35 Mbps up on a DOCSIS 3.1 network is atrocious.

Yeah, I have 1.2 Gbps from Comcast for $80, plus another $30 for unlimited data, so $110 total. Upload is still only 35 Mbps. It’s ridiculous but there’s no other options.

In addition to things like their competitive LMDh cars, they also have their V-Series performance road cars. The CT5-V Blackwing is the most well known.

I’m not sure if he realizes how stupid that makes him sound

It’s really just games with kernel level anticheat that are a problem.

I’m not really worried about a Mpox pandemic as it only spreads by touch as far as we know. My concern is bird flu. We’re starting to see more cases of it infecting humans and if it turns into a pandemic is will likely be extremely deadly.

Interest rates. Then again, you can go for other more reputable brands that have good interest rates. I was making around 5% with Vanguard cash plus for some time. It’s based on money market though, so as federal interest rates went down, so did the rates for that account. There are smaller companies with slightly better rates, but IMO Vanguard is way more trustworthy than all these new Fintech startups and I know the FDIC insurance is legit.

I wish I had electricity prices that low. I love in an area that has some of the highest electricity rates in the US. In the summer months it averages to $0.55/kWh. It’s much lower now with winter rates, but still looking around $0.40/kWh.

Thank God my water supply is reasonably soft. Never had to descale my kettle.

The tech industry moves fast. Win 7/8 are ancient in tech terms

Are you sure that’s not your fence?

The lead adds sweetness though

Which is seemingly everything at this point. Disappointing how much stuff uses it.

Still 2 to 4x the cost of beans from other countries, more than the tariffs.

His sword is the size of an average man

Your timeline is incorrect. 15 years ago was 2009, when CFLs were most common. A 60W equivalent CFL was 13W and 100W equivalent was 23W. My house was still mostly incandescent bulbs with some CFLs for bulbs that had died and weren’t on a dimmer. Commercial LED bulbs intended for residential use only started being released in 2009-2010 with incentive from the US government.

That illustration is more than just a strain lol

That phrase first came out when incandescent bulbs were the most common, so they consumed like 60W vs 7W for an equivalent LED bulb. The brain is somewhere around 20W.
