Two RJ ports on a laptop? Some of us are lucky to get one!

Why list a select 15 abstainers in the summary rather than the 14 voting against? Besides the obvious ones (Israel, US, Czechia), there's Hungary, Argentina, Paraguay, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Palau, Nauru, Malawi, Tuvalu, Tonga and Micronesia.

Call them Li-Ion batteries to prevent confusion with lithium batteries such as CR-2032, which probably have been used in pagers.

Overloaded Li-Ion batteries don't reliably explode. I would have expected them to place the explosive inside an oversized battery pouch along with a heating element in series with the battery. A microcontroller on the board could go short-circuit upon receiving a certain message, making a large current flow through the heating element and triggering the explosive.

So you generate pixel art at several times the squares' resolution? Is there no model that trained on native-res images?

Well, I'm guessing they concealed them in an extra-large Li-Ion battery and wired a heating element in series inside it, so that shorting the terminals by the circuitry triggered the explosive. Pagers use so little power that the lower capacity would be hard to notice and the heating element's voltage drop would be negligible. I assume the pagers' command & control equipment had backdoors, too.

Look up the largest stadium in the world, Strahov in Prague, that hosted the Communist "Spartakiad" parade every May 1st. Almost every performer and attendee arrived via the high-capacity tram and bus terminal Smyčka Dlabačov, often after taking a train and the metro. As a result, the parking lot is absolutely tiny.

Very few languages spell it "kurčatovium", which pretty much only left Czechia and Slovakia. After that, it was a basic search of your profile.

And @[email protected]; I'm 95% sure they are Czech.

He is stuck in Moravia right now. Don't worry, he can handle the flood just fine, it's just that the singular cell tower in the region no longer has power.

So, uh... The EasyCAP device passes both fields into your PC but the video says that the driver does not interpret them correctly and uses probably the most common, incorrect deinterlacing method (see earlier comment with the method list). It is technically possible to reinterlace the video but I haven't needed to do that, and you should do so before any lossy encoding to a file. I assume the community-written Linux driver has no such issue.

The tutorial is mostly correct for people who want to create YouTube uploads with just one program (for YouTube, progressive video is required and the 480p stream cannot be 60 fps and has a terrible bitrate (and 576p for PAL is not available AT ALL so 1080p60 makes sense) but I strongly recommend not deinterlacing nor scaling in OBS, you can do that later. Record 480i (interlaced) files at very high bitrate and perform the deinterlacing in post.
