You can use the Wattz app to monitor current/power flowing into/out of the battery on some Android phones. Yes, 3 W is about the average in normal use. Unfortunately you cannot gauge the power consumption while charging unless you have a USB wattmeter too: the system only measures battery current because it's required for battery capacity/percentages.

It's a vehicle with like 400 HP, duh

Which IOF?
Disambiguation

Edit: Is IOF for "Israeli occupation forces" used outside Al Jazeera?

I don't know any bank that actually enforces stock firmware although it's common in the ToS.

Pretty sure most of Windows isn't coded at the HQ, either

Especially if his plan is to keep it for personal use, rather than as federal property

This lamp by OSRAM uses the LEDVANCE trademark, implying it is an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. I repair LED bulbs (and tubes but broken ones are still rare) as a hobby, and while going through bins I have to avoid fluorescent ones (even CFLs in fancy globes). Welp, there goes my yet-flawless way to tell: "if it says LED, it's LED". I really need to shine through most of them! Shining a light through this one reveals nothing inside but a heated electrode at either end (aside the phosphor coating, and a gas mixture including a little mercury vapor), the normal components of an FL tube. LED tubes would include a driver and an LED strip (and usually a PTC at the other end). I mainly use the method to reveal the kinky or twisty tube of "sneaky" CFLs with milky balls.

Also, the company took a while to leave Russia but at least they did

Data mostly from Wikipedia. No warranty. For example, Slovak is arguably not an official language in the Czech Republic, just mentioned as “mutually intelligible” in certain laws but I followed Wikipedia and included it. Languages are grouped by the acronyms and sorted by their 2-letter codes. Those are based on their Wikipedia URL or my guess (sucks to be you, Montenegrin speakers, should have made your own Wikipedia). Countless Sámi languages are represented by North Sámi, the only one with a NATO Wikipedia article.

Changelog from v1 I originally posted on Reddit: Hungarian ÉASS → ÉASzSz (the "sz" stays together in acronyms because unlike most letter pairs it makes a single special sound).

DuckDuckGo doesn't track your activity so they only target ads based on your current query and technical details. They determined it would take 30 years to compile Gentoo on your rig so 40+ is a good guess for your age.

Vertical ad screen with Coca-Cola's Christmas ad featuring Santa's sleigh and a winding trail. The video runs at about 20 fps and there are obvious vertical tears in it. Also featuring rolling shutter and moiré artifacts not seen IRL.

When a little Czech girl becomes best friends with a carp who is destined to be her Christmas dinner, she must choose between tradition and her newfound friendship.

There are references to Cosy Dens, hallmark Czech Christmas movie set during the 1968 Prague Spring and Soviet invasion, as well as graduation films by their classmates. Definitely watch them!

Amateurs.

The 1963 Černý Důl – Kunčice nad Labem aerial ropeway is over 8 km (5 mi) long, over 30 m high in places and carries 135 tons of limestone every hour from a quarry to the nearest train station. Its 120kW 3-phase synchronous motor requires power for a few minutes at the start and end of each day when most of the 800kg-capacity trolleys are empty, and spends most of the shift generating mains electricity and acting as a speed governor. Unlike the EV, it is fully autonomous most of the way, only 5 people are required to operate it. (Loading, unloading and timed dispatching is automatic, arriving/leaving carts just need to be checked; a safety latch has to be manually dis/engaged on trolleys passing the check.) The quarry will continue operation as long as it pays off, then the ropeway will be scrapped (projected 2033). A dude illegally rode the way up on it somewhat recently. He could have fallen to his death if he pulled the latch.

Valve is proving that LOTS of people would use Linux if it came in convenient preinstalled packaging.

He absolutely nailed it, actually. The fact that you posted it speaks to the success of the viral marketing campaign. If you're in doubt that this is an ad, either turn on sound or notice that the weirdly big URL tag on his pullover goes unpractically over the zipper.

The smart thing is to vote early and avoid the ruckus the stupider people will inevitably create around polling places on November 5.

Kamala Harris is known to love Venn diagrams and would be cringing hard at this.

For reference, circles in Venn (Euler) diagrams are sets of objects with a certain property. Select objects are shown inside or outside of each circle depending on whether they belong to the set.
A good example is xkcd 2962:
Hard to imagine political rhetoric more microtargeted at me than 'I love Venn diagrams. I really do, I love Venn diagrams. It's just something about those three circles.'

Sure to annoy IT people but those just need a line of text while the rest of the screen is free real estate for Micro$oft! Public BSODs tend to go viral too.

There is a Fediverse-wide canvas event at canvas.fediverse.events (currently temporarily down with no ETA). Is the KDE community participating?

I redrew this Kiki icon as pixel art and I can, and probably will, place this image myself, as it's just 282 non-white pixels; I just want to know if anyone is going to draw the KDE logo, Konqi or other imagery so we can all be in one area.

1:1 image that can be used as a template:

If you have any KDE art you'd like to add, including better versions of Kiki, feel free to post them! I can adjust the palette into this year's 34-color one or even redraw high-res images as pixel art for you.

Edit: THANKS TO EVERYONE

I thought that given the size of the trans community, perhaps the 100 px size would be just right for a nice 3:2 aspect ratio. Meanwhile, you madlads managed to span the entire width!


Go help draw at canvas.fediverse.events!

Edit: DESTROY THE DITHERING

Yes, it's just me who did the dithering but it turns out dithered stripes grow slower because people are afraid of placing pixels that would disrupt the pattern. Just fill the checkered area fully and continue with random pixels.

Edit: currently down :/
