Crabapples are different from regular apples, it’s not just an apple tree in the wild. They’re smaller and more tart.

Unironically yes. I don’t want my mom or child doing this, and I know how to in a few seconds if I want. Things like this make my life as the family sysadmin easier.

All I’m saying is I haven’t seen a 2.4G connection drop from a microwave in like 10-15 years. It used to happen with my parents old 1986 microwave when I was stealing WiFi from the neighbor across the street. Other than that I’ve not noticed it anywhere. I don’t think this is really occurring that frequently these days.

I can tell you this is untrue as I post this with my microwave on and my phone inches away from it, while on 2.4 GHz.

I did find it cool that he mixed solos from his live shows into his songs

IIRC all songs on Joe’s Garage except one have the solos recorded separately (xenochrony). You gotta give Watermelon in Easter Hay a second chance, that’s possibly my favorite Zappa song ever.

Apostrophe is a good one to check out next.

Maybe if you’re using a device within 50mm of the microwave and you’re manually setting your AP to run at minimum power.

Moving slightly away from the microwave will fix this. Don’t use your WiFi within inches of the microwave when you already have a very low signal.

Joe’s Garage, damn. One of my favorites. What didn’t you like about it? Does any other Zappa resonate with you?

Only if your microwave is poorly shielded. 2.4Ghz works fine right next to mine with the router on a different floor, on the other side of the house.

I dunno, JPEG XT maybe? At a loss here.

Why did Android also use HEIC, did they choose this just to be a dick like Apple?

Let’s try this again: in a world where Apple is not a dick, what modern image format do they use that isn’t subject to these same codec requirements?

If they were doing this just to be dicks, they’d spin off one of their own formats like they did with ALAC. They didn’t, they used HEIC which was also used by Android (which is now using AVIF).

Apple definitely chose it to be a dick.

What other image format supports HDR and modern compression algorithms? AVIF also requires a special codec. This is just codec stuff, I really don’t see it as anyone being a dick. Android can also use these modern formats, with the same requirements if you want to open them on Windows.

Kinda surprising to me that people so frequently recommend using Linux here, yet taking 30 seconds to install a free codec on Windows is apparently a big deal.

For W10, you install an app to get the codec, then you’re done. It’s built in on W11. Same as HEVC video which is used very commonly in piracy. Are pirates out to make it “purposefully painful” or are they just using modern codecs? Android also can save to HEIC or AVIF.

Referrals are electronic for those running a modern EMR, like Epic. The systems exist, it’s up to both sides to implement them.

Theres a rule that no one follows on the roads, when turning right (or left for that matter) you come to a complete stop and then proceed. This applies even if there is no stop sign or the light is solid green.

Can you cite this law? I’ve never heard of this. You have to yield to pedestrians, but coming to a complete stop for a right on green seems excessive. I’ve not once seen this, nor heard this is how it’s supposed to work. Right on red, sure. Same with left on green, why would you come to a complete stop and potentially get rear-ended?

Found this article which says it’s not true in Canada:

This is the single issue that has kept me away from Linux for the past 15 or so years. I always get to the “install GPU drivers” step, completely fuck it up somehow, read things online for a few hours, get frustrated, and return to Windows/macOS until I try the experiment again in another 3-5 years. I’m about due to give it another shot.

How so?

I use Firefox most of the time, but if I really need to stretch the battery life I’ll use Safari. It seems significantly faster and more power efficient than anything else I’ve used. If it had better plugin support, it’d be my daily driver. Can’t say I’ve ever had issues with it rendering a page.

Where’s anyone saying it’s worthless? That’s not in the article nor in these comments.

The issue is how it’s being used. It’s not being used to detect cancer. It’s being used for “efficiency”, which means more patients being seen by fewer nurses. It’s furthering the goals of the business majors in hospital administration, not the nurses or doctors who are caring for the patient.

NoScript is redundant with uBlock medium mode.

Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus with many filter lists + NoScript with 1st-party scripts/frames automatically trusted. Unlike NoScript however, you can easily point-and-click to block/allow scripts on a per-site basis.
