That's like 10-20 adult novels. Respect.

Now that you mention it, yeah, I wonder if they haven't updated recently.

Isn't the 7950X3D the best at basically everything? I mean, disregarding value per dollar, it's still better than any of the other Ryzens for gaming, isn't it?

https://www.logicalincrements.com/ is a good starting point.

If you want to beat the PS5 Pro in terms of raw performance, you'll probably want to look at the "great" tier and higher. It's hard to say now since we don't have any real-world benchmarks to go by.

$700 seems like a lot for a PS5 Pro, but if it's really as powerful as they claim then it will still compare well to PCs under $1k.

I explained why that data does not contradict what the previous commenter was trying to say.

Speed is less of a factor than endurance in a persistence-hunting scenario where we're much slower than our prey anyway.

I don't know the facts for this specific claim, but the logic is fair. One group can be better suited for endurance without being faster. One group could also be faster on average without having the individual fastest performers. Not only because of cultural factors, but also because the distribution curves might have different shapes for men vs women. There could be greater outliers (top performers) among men even if the average is higher among women in general. It's not necessarily as straightforward as, say, height, where men's distribution curve is almost the same shape as women's, just shifted up a few inches.

I don't have the data to draw any real conclusions, though.

One of the problems looking at athletic records is that it's really just the elite among a self-selected group of enthusiasts, which doesn't tell us a whole lot about what might have been the norm 100,000 years ago, or what might be the norm today if all else were equal between genders. These are not controlled trials.

I've read that the top women outperform the top men in long-distance open-water swimming, supposedly due in part to higher body fat making women more buoyant, helping to regulate body temperature, and providing fuel. This is the first time I've read that women might have an advantage in running, though.

I wish the article provided citations. The reality is probably too complex to fit into a headline or pop-sci writeup.

Same on macOS. Apple has "case-sensitive HFS+" as an option for UNIX compatibility (or at least they used to) but actually running a system on it is a bad idea in general.

What part of this is misinformation, exactly? Seems pretty well-supported.

Haven't heard of Hiren's BootCD in like 15 years. Good to see it's still around!

I don't understand why they have a dozen other settings when of course I always want it to be outstanding.

Then again, that dress does sound tempting...

I keep seeing this claim, but never with any independent verification or technical explanation.

What exactly is listening to you? How? When?

Android and iOS both make it visible to the user when an app accesses the microphone, and they require that the user grant microphone permission to the app. It's not supposed to be possible for apps to surreptitiously record you. This would require exploiting an unpatched security vulnerability and would surely violate the App Store and Play Store policies.

If you can prove this is happening, then please do so. Both Apple and Google have a vested interest in stopping this; they do not want their competitors to have this data, and they would be happy to smack down a clear violation of policy.

 

Edit: This appears to have been fixed already with another backend update. Leaving the post below as-is.

Current version in the footer: UI: 0.19.0-rc.11 BE: 0.19.0-rc.10

Starting today, most image thumbnails and pictrs links will not load. I tried clearing cookies and I tried in three different browser engines (Firefox, Chromium, Safari).

If I try to open one of the image URLs directly in my browser, it shows {"error":"auth_cookie_insecure"}.

Interestingly, images will load correctly if I am NOT logged in. Why are the pictrs URLs even checking cookies when they do not require auth? Is that new behavior in this version of Lemmy?

Here is an example post: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/8482278

And an example direct image URL from that post: https://lemmy.sdf.org/pictrs/image/c8556f4f-d33c-4cac-86f3-975726ea69ec.png

I am interested to know if others are seeing the same issue. I have not exhaustively tested different cookies settings in my browsers, so it's possible some anti-tracking privacy settings are interfering with this behavior.

Worth noting is that the Eternity app on my phone continues to work. I did not even need to log out and back in today, like I did in my browsers.

 

That is all.
