I think it's kinda telling that infosec people literally cannot comprehend that not having separate messenger accounts/profiles for work/professional use, family, and friends is a **_much_** more important “threat model” for nearly everyone than having even completely unencrypted messages is

How much does chroma subsampling actually help with reducing file size with modern codecs anyways? Like it made sense for analog video (where it originated) because that's uncompressed, so subsampling was just an easy win to reduce the required transmission/storage bandwidth.

But I'm just […]

Thinking about how I made a really damn cool pseudopupil effect emulating mantis eyes in Blender, but never used it for anything because it's basically impossible to learn how to model/sculpt stuff because any guide out there exclusively covers editing/merging built-in shapes to something only […]

Hmm with Lua modding one could change the mummy curse in Dwarf Fortress to apply to when one kills a dragon instead, where its effects are actually appropriate

(Curse permanently and completely irreversibly causes 20% of that character's actions to utterly fail, e.g. there's a 20% chance that […]

I wonder if, when Legion is connected to the rest of the geth network, their programs would swap out when needed like other mobile platforms or if they would keep their same set of programs when possible since they give the body a distinct personality which is useful when working with organics

Does anyone have good reading about the story behind Kodak's incessant failed attempts to replace 35 mm film (back when film was relevant to casual consumers)?

I'm talking about 110, 126, disk, APS, etc. You can find superficial histories that basically say “it was introduced, 500 million […]

I went out with my camera, looking for birds. I didn't see anything interesting, so I went home to change lenses to do some more artistic photography. Naturally, as soon as I went back outside I saw this Cooper's hawk…
#birds #wildlifephotography #birdsforbecsnan
The hawk is sitting on a relatively thick branch, facing us. There are a number of smaller, bare branches in the background. To the right is part of the trunk of the tree; another thick branch is above the hawk.
