OTOH, if said dump happens during working (paid) hours...

"Vocal fry", aka "creaky voice". It's stereotypically associated with irritating young women.

I like me a good rabbit hole that's interesting and also digs into stereotypes.

Turns out, like many memes, it's not just that. It's (also?) a normal speech pattern, used by different genders, ages, and social groups, in many languages.

This doesn't mean that vocal fry isn't used as social signaling. But complaining about it, well, isn't that social signalling too?

From what I understand it's the opposite, an android compatibility thing layered on top of a linux base.

My LG does just that.

The tv remote sensor stopped working (and broke again after servicing), so now the only way to use the TV is by the LG app on my phone.. which asks for permissions to Nearby Devices, Location, Camera, Microphone, Notifications, Phone, Music&Audio...

This remembers me of the Modbook, back in... check notes... 2008? I'm old. They would take a Macbook, re-case it and transform it into a tablet. Super cool. Looks like they kept doing this for a few iterations.

Not sure if it adds anything, but a factoid I know is that CD timing is expressed in minutes, seconds, and frames, where each frame is 1/75th of a second.

I'm not sure but I think this is also the smallest time resolution.

Then each frame is composed of samples, but they seem to be counted in groups of 1/75th os a second anyway.

for me 16gig is definitely not enough.

I'm on a 36gb M3 and I have to reboot it every three to five days to have it behave again.

I have normal dev apps open: a browser with jira, another with testing, another with documentation, an ide, teams, calendar, zoom.. it adds up very, very quickly. 16gigs are gone in the blink of an eye

Agree. TypeScript is primarily a programming language. Did they make the language faster? No. Hence, the title is misleading.
