For those not in the know, it's dolby's proprietary hdr format, in a similiar vein to their atmos product, which is high definition audio. You see it labeled in linux isos as "DV", and if it doesn't also have the HDR label there's a good chance your video is going to have the wrong colors in it.
It's very much a metaphorical comment for her; normal men, according to her worldview, obviously check out womans titties every chance they get. She's being incredibly rude and arrogant. "If he's not checking me out, he very obviously has serious mental health problems, or is just straight up not human." The arrogant half is the expectation that even if a normal man had the capability to ignore some other woman's titties, no normal man would ever be able to ignore hers.
She would likely consider gay men to be an aberration too.
Telling someone they're an alien for not being interested in you is very definitely rude. Sure, you put effort into your appearance, you have pride in your looks. There's nothing wrong with that. It's when you take that rejection out on someone else that it becomes a problem. Here, it's a mild issue, almost certainly intended to be a fourth wall wink at the readers more than anything else, but at the end of the day, she called clark an alien because he turned her advances down.
Right up until they do, and spend 10 minutes checking to make sure you weren't hurt or otherwise injured at their party. This is fine for big public things, but is very much a dick move for smaller groups.
I’ve got a NAS built in a Node 304 mini itx case that works great, but uses a ton of power. In Unraid (the OS for my NAS) there is some kind of issue with the Ryzen 3900x processor that I’m running that means I have to disable all sleep states - so it’s always at it’s 100W TDP. Power is super expensive where I live so...
The car mic and one of the right side speakers stopped working. The ota updates also stopped arriving, and toyota stopped sending me emails about where my car had been / how long it was driven. The emergency button which calls the toyota help line is also broken now.
There were no warnings from my car at all after i pulled the fuse.
There's some forum posts about rewiring the speaker back into the system - apparently you only need an extra plug, a little bit of wiring skills, and access through the glove box to get it working again. I havent personally done it yet, but ill get around to it at some point.
In 1995, Shawn Nelson, a former Army tank commander drove into a National Guard armory and stole an M60A3 tank. He drove the tank out of the armory, and onto residential streets where he began crushing things in his path. He drove the tank onto a highway and was pursued by a number of San Diego Police Department cars....
Yeah, to secure a military vehicle in a lot, they use a regular padlock. Guarantee a key is lost every quarter, and the unit in charge has to go out and cut it to get access to their own vehicle. This guy came in with bolt cutters, and then used the combat lock on the door he entered in. The only possible way a policeman without heavy ordnance got in with boltcutter, and the thief used a combat lock, was if there was another door that was padlocked closed, but not combat locked.
Tldr; yeah, you can still steal a military vehicle if you can sneak into an army base with a pair of boltcutters. It sure as shit won't be loaded, and if you pick the wrong one it might not even start up because they all breakdown regularly, and aren't clearly marked as such.
I recently got it into my head to compare the various popular video codecs in an effort to better understand how av1 works and looks compared to x264 and x265. I also had ideas of using a intel video card to compress a home video security setup, and what levels of compression I would need to get good results....
Sure, but that is a choice that couldn't be made without first checking how much space is saved by switching codecs. This helps with making that decision, but i'm well aware it is only part of the information needed.
I consider the 'good enough' level to be, if I didn't pixel peep, I couldn't tell the difference. The visually lossless levels were the first crf levels where I couldn't tell a quality difference even when pixel peeping with imgsli. I also included VAMF results, which say that the quality loss levels are all the same at a pixel level.
I know that av1, x264, and x265 all have different ways of compressing video. Obviously, the whole point of this was to get a better idea of what that actually looked like. Everything on the visually lossless section is completely indistinguishable to my eyes, and everything on the good enough section has very minor bits of compression only noticed when i'm looking for it in a still image. This does not require the same codec to compare and contrast with.
Frankly, for anything other than real-time encoding, I don't actually consider encoding time to be a huge deal. None of my encodes were slower than 3fps on my 5800x3d, which is plenty for running on my media server as overnight job. For real-time encoding, I would just grab a Intel Arc card, and redo the whole thing since the bitrates will be different anyways.
Visually lossless means I couldn't tell an image difference even when pixel peeping with imgsli. Good enough means I couldn't tell a difference in video, but could occasionally see a compression artifact in imgsli.
