Trump World ‘panicking’ as Project 2025 gets on the radar of voters in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I’ve been trying actual page numbers since those are what matched up at first

Edit: I haven’t extensively gone through it all yet. Are they mixed between page numbers and pdf page numbers?

I’ve been skimming through the listed page numbers so maybe I missed it but where in pg 545-581 does it talk about “[ending] marriage equality”? That whole section seems to be talking about the FBI and DOJ

Does Cromite have support for auto-filling from 3rd party password managers? When I last used Bromite, it couldn't so I never ended up using it as my main browser

Judge blocks Biden administration rule capping credit card late fees at $8 in c/[email protected]

I disagree. The 20-30% interest a lot of credit cards have is enough of a reason to pay on time.

CAD Software Suggestion in c/[email protected]

I've seen some youtubers recommend OnShape. It's a browser based CAD app so it should work fine.

I always forget. Can we do a release upgrade to this or do we have to wait until 24.04.1?

Edit: Nvm. You can update today

I don’t mean this to sound insulting but for regular people, the VR headsets of the last 10 years have been toys. You couldn’t really do work on them due to the low res screens. It wasn’t until recently that the screens have gotten decent enough to actually use for work. (Vision Pro, Bigscreen VR, others I’m not aware of)

Yes, you can still socialize with people irl but it’s not the same. It’s not the same as being able to sit down next to someone you care about, watch a show they were already watching, and share an experience with them. It’s very much a 1 experience per person per headset sort of thing. I’m not saying this is bad, more of just an observation/opinion

So from what I can tell, the Vision Pro is like strapping an iPad to your face. Yes you can still do work on it but it can’t replace a Mac (yet) and it only allows you to make one virtual screen per paired Mac. If it could make more virtual screens, I could accept the Vision Pro more than I do now. At the moment, a Mac or PC and 2 or 3 monitors seems like the better buy

I don’t have a problem with VR gaming, but this is Apple, almost none of the games people want to play support Apple hardware. So I see the Vision Pro as being way too expensive if you just intend to play games on it.

I don’t really have an issue with anything ND you said regarding children and VR. I understand why kids want VR because, with current tech, it still seems like a toy. I want to know what adults are doing with these things. More specifically, I want to know what adults whom are similar to me, are doing with these headsets.

I think you focused a little too much on when I said “healthy adult”. I didn’t mean to say VR is unhealthy, I just meant that I understand why people with disabilities would have more use for these than healthy people.

My opinion on the Vision Pro is that, in its current form, it’s really limiting for $3500. The tech is really cool, don’t get me wrong, I can see some uses for it, but atm, it still seems like an expensive experience you can’t share with others irl. Long term, I’m bullish on AR/VR, but for now, the compromises are off putting

Help with understanding throughput of pcie and hard drives (lemmy.world)

I've been interested in building a DIY NAS out of an SBC for a while now. Not as my main NAS but as a backup I can store offsite at a friend or relative's house. I know any old x86 box will probably do better, this project is just for the fun of it.

The Orange Pi 5 looks pretty decent with its RK3588 chip and M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 connector. I've seen some adapters that can turn that M.2 slot into a few SATA ports or even a full x16 slot which might let me use an HBA.

Anyway, my question is, assuming the CPU isn't a bottle neck, how do I figure out what kind of throughput this setup could theoretically give me?

After a few google searches:

  • PCIe Gen 3 x4 should give me 4 GB/s throughput
  • that M.2 to SATA adapter claims 6 ~~GB/s~~ Gb/s throughput
  • a single 7200rpm hard drive should give about 80-160MB/s throughput

My guess is that ultimately, I'm limited by that 4GB/s throughput on the PCIe Gen 3 x4 slot but since I'm using hard drives, I'd never get close to saturating that bandwidth. Even if I was using 4 hard drives in a RAID 0 config (which I wouldn't do), I still wouldn't come close. Am I understanding that correctly; is it really that simple?

Cracking/tinny sound on Apple TV 4k after TvOS 17 update (lemmy.world)
 

PSA

After updating to TvOS 17, my Sonos Beam sound bar started making weird crackling sounds and music sounded tinny. Turns out, I had to change the audio format in the Apple TV settings from Stereo to Dolby Digital 5.1 for the issue to be fixed.

Not sure what I had that setting set to before but I’m leaning toward the idea that the update reset the audio format back to default settings. If you are having sound issues after updating, that might be the issue.

Heart rate zone training - what percentages do you use? (lemmy.world)

My garmin has it set up like this:

Z1 = 50-60%
Z2 = 60-70%
Z3 = 70-80%
Z4 = 80-90%
Z5 = 90%+

As of right now, I’m seeing my Z3 improve but improving Z2 is going to take me a while. I can have a conversation in Z3 using the Garmin percentages.

I’ve also seen other forums/websites have different percentages. Ex.

Z1 = 68-73%
Z2 = 73-80%
Z3 = 80-87%
Z4 = 87-93%
Z5 = 93%+

If I used this method, then my Z2 is the one that has been improving this whole time. This one ‘feels’ right to me when I’m running but I’ve only been running for a few months at this point (was running last year but got sick a few times and had to basically start all over) so maybe I just need to stick to it and the garmin method will start to make more sense.

So I was just curious how everyone has their percentages set up. What do you all actually train at?

Recommended app for adding "copy to clipboard" to the share extension (lemmy.world)
 

I'm relatively new to MacOS and I frequently find myself needing to copy a file to my clipboard so that I can paste it somewhere else. Every time I click the share icon, I'm disappointed to see no "copy to clipboard" extension.

This is most frustrating when editing a screenshot or opening up a file in safari.

Anyone have a recommended app for this? I found this one but haven't tried it yet
