Vertical live streams? As in camera orientation? Vert videos will have this feature and horizontal won’t? Not knowing the intricacies of the content creator world, I don’t get why vertical vs horizontal should make any difference.

I tend to get headaches more frequently at a certain point in my ~monthly cycle, not at the same time I have my period. It’s nice to know it’s coming so I can plan accordingly. Like avoid being on a road trip at that time, or proactively knocking it out with meds before it even starts.

Some people find their cycles affect their energy and recovery a lot, so they adjust their workout plans accordingly. Like knowing when within a cycle estrogen and testosterone are at their peak, versus progesterone.

Aside from just day count between periods, some people track temp, consistency of vaginal fluid, mood, weight, and probably other things depending on their needs.

Drip doesn’t save anything to the cloud, it’s all local to your device. I can’t speak to the others.

Which does mean one has to backup and manually move your tracking history to a new device. Guess who forgot to do that 😂

Ever seen Superman III where Richard Pryor’s character realizes there’s rounding in the numbers of his company’s payroll, taxes, etc, so he writes a program to skim those partial cents into his account and he ends up shocked at the amount? And he knew it was illegal and everyone who learned of it knew it was illegal?

Companies profiting off AI trained on stolen material feels like that, but if the cops who discovered Pryor’s crime were to say “eh, partial cents aren’t a real thing anyway. No harm, no foul” and let Pryor keep skimming.

Meta wants to decrease its reliance on Google

Ugh, get a room already. Everyone can tell those two bicker because they want to be in each other’s pants.

It’s the new WallStreetBets GameStop saga. Fine when big companies manipulate the market, bad when normal people do it on a much smaller scale.

It’s not just the $3.5k cost of a headset. There are recurring costs to maintain the headsets. Even larger than that is cost of converting existing work instructions into the virtual environment and maintaining them. Plus expect push back from some workers, possibly losing some to other companies. And if it’s a union shop, expect them to use the change as leverage in next negotiations.

I would absolutely require more money to strap a chunk of electronics to my face for 8+ hours a workday.

Airbus in Toulouse has one section of a production line where work instructions, tool tips, and prints are available to the mechanics on VR headset. There are surely other industries that are further along, but in aerospace, that Airbus line is goals. I’ve seen it in an open house / show off situation. I am still skeptical how mechanics use VR headsets for 8+ hour shifts day after day.

I’m sure they’re not as intense as video game VRs, those start giving me headache and nausea after about 45 minutes. 8+ hours seems like it would be a lot. And at 8+ hours, it’s not even just the vision/nausea, I have to assume it becomes a question about ergonomics of neck and shoulders supporting the extra weight.

Well, it is public knowledge that layoffs and furloughs are happening, so sadly, you’re not wrong.

And they somehow enticed Kelly Ortberg out of retirement to take over as CEO. There’s the hella juicy c-suite compensation package you talked about. He was already riding golden after he maneuvered that Rockwell Collins sale/merger/whatever.

Look under the “stats for nerds” for the YouTube video, note the codec used, and websearch from there what quality of audio that codec results in.

Hoping someone else has more than that; my audio interests do not carry me down the particular rabbit hole of defining quality levels. If it sounds good to me, it’s good.

Sweet, TY. Editing my comment.

It’s on YouTube, https://youtu.be/O_B0TNYWuLQ?

A victim could also stay in their house, never go outside, never talk to anyone to further limit a stalker’s access. But they shouldn’t have to let a stalker turn their life into an isolated prison.

Blocking people from viewing their account was one tool that was available, and now it’s not. People are saying they still want access to that tool and are unhappy it was taken away.

Not sure you’re intending to but you’re putting a lot of onus on the victim to address the behavior of bad actors.

Women don’t want to deal with men who would sexually assault them? Stop wearing “provocative” clothes and going to bars.

Kid doesn’t want to get bullied at school? Stop being “weird”.

Don’t want to be stalked? Stay away from public forums.

These are not solutions, these are ways to put responsibility for bad crimes onto the victims instead of the perpetrators.

Huh? How? This is the problem I saw too. Knowing details about a victims life feeds stalkers and also gives them opportunities to connect to the victims physical location and movements.

Would blocking a stalker’s view of their victim’s social media solve the stalking problem entirely? Probably not. Would blocking kill off one lane of information that makes the stalking easier / more psychology rewarding to the stalker? Yes.

More people declining to get married and/or procreate is the problem the government should watch out for. And instead of banning sexbots, they should make having a child easier. Make it so low and middle income people in their early twenties can buy a house. Make it so women can take maternity leave without setting their career back years. Make it so father/non-carrier parents get parental leave at all. Make it so a sick kid doesn’t destroy a family’s finances forever. Make it so women have adequate protection pre and post sexual interaction so that the risks of getting it on are not as high.

AI sex bots are far from the most impactful thing driving people away from having kids.

Fun story, my neighbor locked himself out of his house last night and knocked on my door to borrow a cell phone to call his wife. I trotted over with a Costco card, slipped it in the door, and had it open with 30 seconds of jiggling.

Sometimes people need to chill and learn to prioritize their security efforts. There are compromises to be made, lines to draw and accept that sometimes where they are is “good enough”. No sense self-hosting stuff, losing contact with friends and family because they won’t install fb anywhere, while they leave windows and sliding doors open to the house.

My younger sister (Gen Z) talks smack about my generation (millennial) overuse of emojis and this Telegram post is making me agree with her. The attempt at cutesie emojis is jarring.

Do you just do CAD though? Our Mech Es do a lot in CAD but not solely. Even our drafters do a lot of things not in CAD. If anyone ever asked me what I do for work, “CAD” would not be my answer.

I categorize it as a tool, not a job. And personally, I would find a job that is, say, 75% or more CAD to be boring as hell.

The two nuclear developmemts I’m watching closest are the test molten salt reactor in Oak Ridge, TN and just recently heard about a new permit to build one for Abilene Christian University in Texas.

I was at my company’s booth at a career fair earlier this week and it felt like every other student was looking for an internship in “machine learning”. When I asked follow up questions about what sort of experience they’d had or projects done or what they wanted to do with it in their career, crickets.

To be fair, 2nd most popular was “CAD” which is also not a job.
