would be even better if they had not killed all the emulators…

yeah, baking soda works but you have to be careful with the amount you put in them or they’ll taste very bland after…

no I can confirm that it work without gapps on Lineage… probably something else…

Invidious public instances have been completely blocked by this, it’s no longer AB testing. IDK exactly what triggers it but, too many requests from the same ip is going to show this now… maybe OP vpn exits with an ip shared by too many…

Thanks for the interesting write-up!

Thanks, I’ll have a look. It’s an universal mains power supply with no voltage switch.

How were you measuring the current in the power cable? Is this with a Kill-o-watt device or perhaps with a clamp meter and a line splitter?

For the current both with a line-splitter+clamp and checked with an in-line meter. For the power factor, since I don’t have any actual instrument to measure It, and I just needed a ball-park figure to discern actual consumption from a capacitor, I used this diy method: https://www.giangrandi.org/electronics/cosphi/cosphi.shtml , which measured 0.04 ( with great approximation ).

As for why there is a capacitor across the mains input […]

I have the basic on how a switching power supply work, but I was asking because it seemed weird to me that commercial appliances didn’t take any stand-by meaures to avoid “keeping the wires warm”… is this the norm?

Which bridge do you use? do you self-host it?

Exactly, even when applied correctly, many projects will just not work with scrum. Managers that sponsor ONE approach have already failed…

The point is just differentiating your behavior between what you call a “bad” or a “good” junior.

And from experience the difference is whether they want to learn (regardless of their skill!!) or not (i.e are they passionate or it’s just a job?).

Passionate seniors get frustrated when they try to teach bad juniors, but there is no point on doing that, the problem was just that the senior was not involved in the hiring process…

I get what you mean, I think in a realistic scenario this only work to circumvent some laws. if you are tortured by someone who know about this and don’t care about your life, then it’s meaningless.

Does not “help protecting privacy”, that is marketing. It’s a system for ads that track you in a more privacy-friendly way then other alternatives.

Peoples are mostly angry at the fact that they just silently slipped this system in without asking for consent.

you’d almost certainly notice the change in gravity.

Really? can you actually percieve the sun gravity? Do you mean that we would get like a tsunami beause of the tidal effect? Now I kinda want a documentary about this.

I’ll add something which is not mentioned: Unreal Engine, one of the most popular game engines, is source available, but not open source. Many games modify it but its then impossible to release those sources. I’m guessing that it’s the same with many other engines…

The main issue is more about how many FOSS devs are available to implement what you just said unfortunately…

Since italy pays those countries to “guard their coasts”, there have been many instances where peoples were forced to board these ships and “charity ships” were notified before hand in a sort of human-traffic type of business that makes profitable to enlarge the issue, there are multiple sides to these stories, It’s not that simple unfortunately…not that I agree with what Italy is currently doing rn of course

yeah I’m currently surrounded by that enterprise bs you talk about…the job itself would be perfect otherwise, its just infuriating

I meant that without these people who constantly work on it, Invidious would instantly die, we shouldn’t take them for granted…Google is constantly making changes that breaks it.

Btw they are not actually failing: just a few weeks ago Invidious was completely broken, but a guy posted a PR to fix that like the day after…

I kinda agree with you, being impossible to contact is probably unachievable in today society…Isn’t it more important to avoid sharing more personal information, like your exact location history with Google? (or pls explain me the downvotes)
