Interesting — I wonder if it only displays the first reason for having to mess with the stream, e.g., if it’s really that it’s an unsupported container, video, and audio codec.

Possible to try playing an h264 mkv (maybe Big Buck Bunny)? Since your screenshot is h265 I wonder if it indeed needs to transcode because that’s unsupported (in addition to mkv).

unless everyone is using hardware acceleration

I think that’s what (almost) everyone does. My little N100 works just fine with QSV.

Is it definitely transcoding? JF can remix without transcoding iirc.

IIRC chvt is a privileged command, which makes sense (if an unprivileged user could execute this command they could effectively brick the computer for a local user).

That said, my understanding is that modern DE’s are given a lot of access, so presumably chvt is allowed (and in this case, is required because as others mentioned, password is required). So the only other option is to fail unlocked, which is all kinds of Bad.

No longer available I guess, but I got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DDX1K5S1

Only complaints are that it will thermal throttle on long workloads (e.g., transcoding or facial recognition on my entire Immich library), and the SSD slots — it comes with an mSATA drive in the first slot which is 4 lanes (I think?) and supports mSATA and NVME. The second slot is slower (1 lane?) and only supports NVME. So I had to put my nicer NVME SSD in that slot if I wanted to use the included mSATA drive, but consequently the NVME speed is slower than it should be. (I could swap it to the fast slot but then I couldn’t use the included mSATA drive.)

For my use case, both minor issues.

And over twice the GDP.

“Wow you signed the document in blood, you must be really hardcore.”

“No I’m just cheap.”

That’s…pretty believable.

No judgement here, you just keep doing what makes you happy.

That’s the American experience.

That may be your American experience, but it’s not everyone’s. We are a huge country, and while there’s of course truth behind the stereotypes, the glib “'Murica dumb” sentiment doesn’t exactly capture everyone’s experience.

My city (San Francisco) has been continuously improving bike infrastructure and is actively closing streets off to cars, we have a diverse food culture, we don’t allow gun stores in the city, and our de facto recreational drug is weed, not coke (though yes, the city does have a fentanyl problem). And I use metric units in lab for my California-based employer.

To address OP’s question, I’ll add a +1 to all the Ken Burns recommendations. Not an exhaustive history, but it’s a great start!

If you exclude blocked instances, you’re a lot higher than #5…

The amount of money you save (and invest) isn’t accurately depicted with this though. Living expenses don’t necessarily grow with take home, if you keep lifestyle creep to a minimum.

So what this means is that if you make $100k and save $10k/year, if you start making $200k you can save the same $10k/year, plus the entire additional $100k after taxes (let’s just say that’s $50k+). So you doubled your salary but your savings went up 6x+.

Not sure why you’re saying Python forces everything to be object oriented…?

Wouldn’t 25 year olds still be in school for their doctorates though?

Yes, I think that’s the point — they skew the numbers upwards.

“Chain migration” is how many people — myself included — get jobs.

I went to a very good school, and while I like to think the quality of education is what makes a school “good,” let’s be honest — the value is largely in your connections. Friend lands a good job, recommends you when there’s an opening, and bam, you’re already at the top of the pile of the CVs (better yet, they’re the hiring manager).

Friends from school — peers and mentors alike — are a great place to start, if you can. Ask to grab a coffee and chat about their career, and be clear that you’re in the market. Most people are happy to chat (at the very least, it’s flattering).

It’s the way the world works…

My hunch is that this is not restricted to TikTok…

I particularly like the truck/engine correction.

Costco focus on quality over quantity

…which sounds hilarious, given it’s Costco! But I agree, at least in their stores (as in, they don’t necessarily offer a huge variety of any particular items, but the one they have is — for my money — usually good quality).
