May I suggest checking these out? https://shokz.com/products/openrunpro

Not affiliated, just like mine for when I need to keep my ears completely open. Audio quality is surprisingly good, but also never going to compete with something whose sole purpose is to sound good i.e. non-sporty headphones.

Bike riding is perfect for these bone conducting headphones, you can listen to tunes while hearing absolutely everything.

Right in the first part, but for the second: police come in more than one gender and the training is the same.

(Afaik on the training part - I welcome being proven wrong!)

That is… not what I said at all.

Solar panels still provide power on cloudy days.

In fact under certain conditions they’ll produce more power than under full sun - solar panels drop in efficiency when they are too hot. (Yes I know this isn’t normal; normally full sun will produce more power, but some people don’t know cloudy days are fine for solar energy production.)

Author didn’t seem to have a clue. Many of us didn’t protest or leave because of the fact that they implemented charges for their API - nope, was totally open to that! - it was the way they started charging.

I don’t think I’m alone either here. So many were open to paying fair prices for usage. But reddit repeatedly promised it’d be fair and reasonable. For months. And then when they finally dropped pricing info it was outlandish and would be taking effect before third parties had a chance to make appropriate changes.

This amounted to a power play meant to drive mobile users back to the reddit app. Why? Money and control. Bad for mods, users, and developers, it was a selfish play I will never forgive them for.

How did the author not know this, or if they did, why was it not front and center? Feels like they were parroting company talking points.

A battery that is utter trash for driving purposes still has tons of life left for other uses.

Google won’t sell YouTube.

Backblaze b2 and rsync.net (which shouldn’t be a problem for rclone)

Neither is sketchy in the slightest and run solid services with many options.

Have you isolated source formats? Does it do this with h264 and hevc?

Tried stopping other containers and/or all other services? Could have less to do with pure power and more with sheer volume (scheduling.)

Any issues if you use the current server as a file server and play the video on another machine? Any modifications to playback speed?

If none of that works you might try iperf3 to check network speeds. Or fio for disk speeds. Run tests covering all kinds of situations, you’re not so much looking for max speeds but instead for inconsistencies.

Don’t get too lost in the small stuff. Isolate systems. Might even move or clone the boot drive to another machine as a test. Try a different switch. That kind of thing.

Good luck!

Doesn’t the article indicate the difference had to do with utilization of e-cores? Since the newer Apple silicon has more e-cores and fewer p-cores?

Banning people from bringing in their own drinks is incredibly normal afaik. What no one has mentioned that I’ve seen is: What was the hydration plan of the concert organizers?

Was bringing in empty bottles and filling them inside ok?

How about providing free or inexpensive water once it got past a certain temp?

Misters? Heat relief booths? Onsite medics?

How can we have any clue whether the organizer has any blame if we know nothing about the situation, other than the fact that someone later died?!

Without this info the story is basically pointless - maybe the organizers took heroic steps and a young person got caught up in the excitement with tragic consequences. And maybe the concert provider is a borderline criminal organization who needs to be fined, or shut down, or both. Plus stricter government regulations. But no, we know nothing - thanks Reuters!

Ha, yes let’s use a limited resource (helium) to save the earth!

No, I don’t have a better idea… and maybe the improvement is worth it. After all I’ll be dead in 100-200 years when helium runs out on Earth, but climate change is already having a huge impact.
