TIL, thanks for the info!

Incandescent bulbs don't visibly immediately transition to a harsh on/off state like LEDs do when operating at the same frequency.

Incandescent bulbs are still burning and emitting light during that brief period of "off" time, and CRTs have a similar "effect" that allow the interlaced lines to display smoothly on the screen AFAIK, although I will admit CRT flicker is much more noticeable

Don't most planes fly almost entirely on automated systems nowadays? The pilots mainly handle takeoff, landing, and monitoring the instuments if i'm not mistaken.

That said, remote controlling a plane of any kind seems like a very, very bad idea, cargo or not. If the 737 Max prevented pilots controlling the plane from the actual cockpit, I'd not like to think about what a similar plane would do in the event of a poor radio control signal and faulty instrumentation

Pretty much this.

Ask people from my work what they like the most about xmas, their answer won't be "singing carols in church", it'll be the time off lol

They must have swapped roles at some point, Elementary lets you minimize windows the last time I checked (use toolbar or gesture), and GNOME doesn't 😂

I honestly don't mind lack of visual customization as long as the design language makes sense, is clear, is consistent, and applies to all the system apps and default utilities. In the case of Elementary and GNOME this is OK IMO because they are ridiculously consistent, and share some similarities

Wasn't federation fixed in 19.1? Or has another critical bug popped up

Original Phoronix article link for Lemmyworld and SIJW users: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-meteorlake-windows-linux

It's been posted by two others already but those probably aren't visible from your instance

These software-defined vehicles need way more work and polish put into them IMO, but to be honest I'd rather these companies just give us something basic, simple, and electric that works reliably.

Toyota did it with the Prius vehicles, particularly the older models, can't be that hard?

Also infotainment systems should absolutely not be sharing core vehicle functionality, particularly if they can't be turned off in the case of this article - only option left to the user is a "deep sleep" that might fix the problem if the vehicle is locked for 5 minutes 🤦‍♂️

Stealing this gif thanks 😁

I've used Florisboard on my device for a few years now, and completely shocked at how barebones the stock Android and Samsung keyboards are...

It can undo, redo, cut, paste, select all, view/insert clipboard history, clear clipboard, and swipe to move the cursor within text. Standard stuff like voice input and swipe typing are here too.

Admittedly it's not perfect, and probably not ideal for most casual users in its current state, but I just can't go back to a standard keyboard after using this feature rich one for so long

These are pretty much the go-to style of "kettle" in Japan and similar alternatives are much cheaper over there if anyone is planning a visit - just note the voltage difference because you may need a transformer

That said, my stainless steel Tefal (T-Fal for those in north america and Japan) kettle has not failed me yet after 6 years of use, if/when it does fail i'll probably be considering one of these!
