A few months ago Adobe finally updated Lightroom Classic to require these processor extensions. To squeeze all of the matrix mults it can for AI features also in CPU mode.

It's amazing how long of a run top end hardware from ~2011 has had (just missed the cutoff by a few months). It's taken this long for stuff to really require these features.


I'm so used to getting 451's that the example flew right over my head. First reaction was, "ugh this again [reaches for vpn]".


I have a working(!) motherboard that survived an international flight in checked luggage, wrapped in nothing more than cotton t-shirts.

I don't advise it, but tech can take quite some abuse.


I have an xBox series X, a 32" 4K monitor, an HP EliteDesk SFF PC/homelab/media server and all the assorted gubbins to make everything work, that survived a 15h international flight with one layover packed in my checked luggage.

Strategically placed underwear and socks can do wonders to protect things.


That's nothing. I've shipped electronics to space, to fly through the Van Allen belts to be showered by protons and electrons ;)


In that case I'd be worried about header pins getting bent


He recently did one of those "this video will delete in X hours" bits where he asked people to email him different places, people, things to check out.

He very, very clearly has no interest in returning to weekly videos on-location; more deeper dives or just something different.


"Scheduling" can become a four-letter word when it comes to adults organizing for game nights. In many groups game night rarely seems to rise to the formality of scheduling sports with organized practice/play sessions.

It's nice to hear that this group found a way to maintain the spontaneity.


TIL about "four-letter word" as an ESL speaker. If anyone else is confused about the linguistic compression algorithm that squeezes "scheduling" into just four letters, the magic is, of course, profanity! And "four-letter word" seems to be a polite way of saying something is or can become a PITA.


yeah calling something a "four-letter word" is intended to evoke the idea that, people react negatively upon merely hearing the word (as though it were an expletive)


PostSecret comes to mind for mailed postcards. https://postsecret.com/


At least apps have to ask permissions for notifications now, and you can deny it outright from the start. In years prior I remember trying to hack things with Tasker and extensions, but it's just not needed to nearly the same degree now.

And if the app is good, it will categorize it's notification types in a user-centric way and allow you to enable only specific categories.


Add a timestamp for when it resets. Don't just say it's every 24 hours. Make it clear to users, don't reset underneath them. It's a globe and one person's cenvenient reset time might be another person's lunch break.


Around midnight LA time, except the code may have a bug (?) with respect to DST changes (uses explicit UTC-8, which won't be correct the whole year). See source code at https://danielchasehooper.com/projects/cracked-sudoku/script...


It doesn’t reset underneath them.

It really makes you think about this; interaction between levels in a simulation.
