My cat only wants belly rubs. Anything else isn’t good enough.

If you have a surround setup, try boosting only the center speaker. Dialog is usually played through that.

Someone else mentioned a compressor. If your tv/hifi has a night mode, it’s doing that exact thing.

Having moved to iPhone fairly recently I do like the overall experience, however Face ID is by far the biggest downside over a good under screen fingerprint scanner.

When picking up the phone and holding it in front of my face it works perfectly well, but that’s probably less than 50% of the unlocks I do.

Most of the time the phone would lie flat on a desk, on a nightstand, couch armrest etc. I can see and interact with the screen just fine, but the phone can’t see me properly. Making me pick the phone to quickly check a notification.

I’m probably entering my password about 4-5x as much as my old phone because of that

Making a typo in the BGP config is the internet's version of nuclear Armageddon

It does exist, its called 801.11ah or wifi HaLow

That standard is mainly designed for things like IOT and wireless security cameras, but nothing stops you from getting an HaLow access point and network adapter.

Modding used to be extremely easy and detection systems weren't implemented yet back in the day. I have an account with billions in cash just for being in the same lobby as one.

These days you're still free to ruin everyone's day with all sorts of griefing mods, but once you try and spawn in cash daddy rockstar gets angry at you.

Practically all bikes in the Netherlands still look like that today. They're a tool to get you from A to B and this design has proven very reliable for that.

U-locks for bikes are a rarity as well. Basically all bikes have a lock built-in, that you optionally pair with a chain if you park it somewhere deemed unsafe.

They're called digital signage displays. Those module slots are usually in the intel SDM form factor.

This stuff is expensive as these displays and modules are rated for 24/7 operation and the software they ship with by default is specifically made to manage content on a large fleet of them.

You're honestly gonna get a way better experience for cheaper by getting a normal TV + a NUC/Nvidia shield and just not connecting the TV to a network ever.

One of the good things valve has been doing recently is cracking down hard on smurfs/alts. I started league last year and was often the only actual new player in the game. Imagine the amount of toxicity I got when people found out there was an actual noob in their new Smurf's matchmaking.

Bad play doesn't matter as much if everyone is actually on the same level. If everybody is bad, nobody is.

If they are networked I can definitely agree.

If not, the only functional difference you get for upgrading is exchanging the floppy drive for a usb port.

It's really hard to convince people to replace a 6+ digit piece of machinery all because its control system has an EOL OS. Especially considering upgrading it to the newest model most likely means upgrading the OS from Windows 95 to Windows XP (embedded).
