LG's firmwares are pretty bad in my experience. I have two LG monitors and they both have weird quirks.
On the first one (a 34" ultrawide), all of its inputs lose connection for a moment whenever it wakes from standby (including the USB ports, making them useless for external drives). This also has the effect of causing my computer to occasionally lock up on resume from hibernation unless I tap the power button on the monitor before I wake the system. Additionally, at refresh rates above 60Hz the gamma gets progressively lower making the image darker the higher you go, even though the gamma setting in its menu is exactly the same, and black frame insertion and game mode are both off. Others online have reported the same thing.
The other monitor I got second-hand and it mostly works. It has a horrid HDR implemenation however that just washes out everything. I also tried to use brightness and input control via DDC/CI, which is a fairly well known standard, but this causes it to shut off abruptly and I have to unplug the power cord it to get it back.
Some other things to keep in mind regarding any phones in your group if you end up stranded:
If you're in an emergency and your phone says you have no signal, call 911 anyway. It'll attempt to reach any network in range that the phone is compatible with, not just the network you're subscribed to. Some phones nowadays will show "Emergency calls only" when this is the case, but it doesn't appear to be 100% consistent, so again, call anyway.
Also turn on battery saver and when you're not actively trying to call, keep the phone in airplane mode. If you don't it'll repeatedly try to reach a tower which will drain your battery quickly. Don't power it off unless you don't plan to use it for the rest of the day, because booting up uses a lot of energy.
A lot of it too is the fireworks themselves. Turns out having millions of people lighting them almost constantly for several hours in an area that had little wind all night and is surrounded by mountains affects the air quality.
Rancho Cucamonga is over 300 AQI (hazardous) this morning.
If I install a ceiling fan for someone with multiple speeds, forward/reverse, and a dimmable light but I take the remote with me and leave just a basic on/off switch that's still taking away control.
Give me full control of all features or I go elsewhere.
So archive.is is upset Cloudflare isn't forwarding the EDNS data, even though the feature's RFC itself states:
> If we were just beginning to design this mechanism, and not documenting existing protocol, it is unlikely that we would have done things exactly this way.
--/--
> We recommend that the feature be turned off by default in all nameserver software, and that operators only enable it explicitly in those circumstances where it provides a clear benefit for their clients. We also encourage the deployment of means to allow users to make use of the opt-out provided. Finally, we recommend that others avoid techniques that may introduce additional metadata in future work, as it may damage user trust.
Seems archive.is is in the wrong here, which is a little surprising. Don't meet your heroes I guess. But then I also can't see their rebuttal because Twitter is currently a dumpster fire.
Holy hell this drove me crazy the other day. Firefox wouldn't work, but my backup, Chrome, did. But a fresh Firefox profile also worked.
So I figured I must've left a bad user-agent string or something in my about:config. But after lots of trial and error with FF settings, curl/dig, with VPN, without VPN... turns out it was because I was using Cloudflare DNS. I forgotten I'd switched a while back when I was getting dropped packets to quad9.
My best assessment is for whatever reason Cloudflare's DNS gives a different A record pointing to a non-TLS (or broken TLS) redirect, so Chrome worked because that's allowed by default. A fresh FF profile also worked because it defaults to DoH thus bypassing the problem completely. My VPN worked because it has its own DNS. But because my daily driver FF profile is set to use system DNS with forced TLS, it'd hit the broken redirect it got from Cloudflare and die.
Old Reddit with a Stylus theme is how I've been using it for years. I'd occasionally switch to the new site just to check it's progress and while it has gotten a bit better in the last year or so, little nitpicks eventually drive me back to old.
Most box fans will struggle with a single filter right up against them. The blade design on a typical box fan is designed for velocity, not pressure. Also, I don't know the physics as to why, but you want to be pulling air through the filter rather than pushing. It's why car radiators have the fan on the engine side.
The best setup is to use multiple filters arranged in a box shape, since more filter surface area = less restriction on air flow.
Infotainment systems are one of the biggest selling points if you've seen any car ad lately. Why let the customer upgrade the unit and keep that same car for a decade, when you can make that impossible and then entice them with the latest infotainment system so they buy a new car every few years.
> isn't the whole point of e2e encryption that you don't have to trust the intermediate infrastructure
If the client app is open source. There's no way to know FB isn't just copying your keys or doing something else nasty. That whole spiel on their site about how E2EE protects you/makes the world a better place/yada yada is completely moot since they use a closed-source client.
The fact that they're still called that at this point is just insulting.
