I have a HomeKit power plug that is able to measure the power usage. It sits before most of my living room devices including:

2x OG HomePods (Standby) - 55" Philips OLED (Standby) - Hue Bridge 2. Gen (Running) - ATV 4K 1.Gen (Standby) - Netatmo Weather Station (Running) - Linksys MR8300 OpenWrt 21.02 (Running) - Home Server (i5-6600, 16GB DDR3, 2x 256GB 850 EVO, 1Gb USB3 Ethernet Adapter as second NIC, Running)

Reading with all devices combined is 35-40W.

On my last flight with JAL from Japan to Europe they served a MOS Burger themed building set. It was quiet funny to watch the whole plane trying to assemble their burgers.
I was too young to see the original release in a movie theater and was all the more exited to catch up on this when the Final Cut was released. Truly a remarkable and timeless piece of cinema. The 4K Dolby Atmos/Vision version is also highly recommendable if you've never seen this gem.

I just want to thank you for sharing your story and for me it's really a wholesome one. Best of luck to you on your further ways.
Wouldn't it be possible that the wife looked up the flag topic on Google after the discussion and that it got mixed up as both devices shared the same (external) IP during that time? And because of that you got this suggestion? Just playing devils advocate here.

I use Tweetdeck extensively on macOS but on mobile even as a web app it just isn‘t nearly as polished as a native app like Tweetbot.
Re:Apple has a decade-long lead in wearables on Saturday May 29, 2021 @02:51PM (#27327392)
That baffles me sometimes. A lot of people see some features that they think of as gimmicky on their own. But then all of the sudden Apple releases something new that utilizes all those little features and combines them to something groundbreaking.

That and an option to permanently opt out of their curation of my timeline. I just want to see the content of people I actually follow in a chronological fashion.

At the moment I‘am quiet happy using Tweetbot but most 3rd party clients are hampered due to API restrictions on Twitters side.

Worcestershire sauce is delicious too but to be fair there are a lot of variants that omit the fish part.
Fish sauce really is a gift of the gods and it saddens me that this pinnacle of flavour is nearly lost in the western world.

1. Who decides what is a "fringe" theory? You? The Government? The scientific community? Facebook/Twitter etc...?

2. ..Fringe opinions should have to work harder to get to the mainstream... No they shouldn't it is you the reader of those news who should make the decision of how much "brain time" this "fringe" news get.

3. Denying airtime to certain topics doesn't make them go away or sways people that believe them otherwise.

I really don't get that sentiment though, as a German citizen for example health care insurance is mandatory as in you pay a certain percentage of your salary each month towards health care insurance. So by any means it isn't the land of free healthcare some people made it to be. Also in the US there is the Charity Care Policy that applies when you make under a certain yearly salary.

This really rubs me the wrong way about DoH. At the moment I mitigate this by outright blocking the Top 10 public DNS servers network wide.
Germany would like a word about that.
ICANN banned emoji gTLDs. But there are ccTLD registries that don't fall under ICANN regulations.
As far as I know WebGPU has a performance overhead, also he is using an experimental implementation. How do you explain the difference between the 2.6 TFlops (FP32) [1] of the M1 and the 950 GFlops (FP32) of the 855 [2]?

[1] https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste...

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Qualcomm_Snapdragon_pr...

The Snapdragon 855 does 950 Gflops (FP32) natively not in the browser. The M1 does 2.6 Tflops (FP32) natively and 900 Gflops in the browser.
