- Comment on Settle a debate can potato's and noodles go together and taste great with sauce and other things? (I say it can) However my mother says two starches should never be cooked because it's too much. 1 day ago:
Are we talking taste or nutrition here?
As for taste I say go for what you find good and tasty…
As for nutrition, maybe throw in there some veggies and some proteins and that will be fine…
Either way, enjoy your meal!

Ooenstreetmap Google Maps or Scan your own. I don’t think there are other choices.
- Comment on What is the easiest way to convert latitude and longitude to a point on a jpeg map? 1 week ago:
Io didn’t specify Mercator projection… If referring to paper maps scanned or something similar, everything might be. Maybe UTM maybe worse
- Comment on What is the easiest way to convert latitude and longitude to a point on a jpeg map? 1 week ago:
You need to know the map projection and coordinate system…
After you know all that, you can use some math to convert.

What if minorities where shooting into schools?

Just connect a gun to the hardware and you are protected by the first amendment of course…
It’s america, turn it to a firearm and you are fine.

- Comment on My Bluetooth is turned off on my Windows 11 pc but the Bluetooth mouse still works. How is that possible if Bluetooth is turned off? 1 week ago:
It’s a dual mouse. If it was using bt you can unplug the dongle. If you plug and use the dongle, then the mouse is not using bt or at least not the bt of the PC…
- Comment on What is the difference between http and HTTPS ? 3 weeks ago:
Mich more than that. Https also certifies that the website is who it pretends to be.
- Comment on What is the difference between http and HTTPS ? 3 weeks ago:
Https add an encryption layer on top of http. Except that, they are the same. Also, https provide a way to make sure the website is who he claims to be and not a random hacker website pretending to be it.
Whatever you do on https it’s encrypted end to end and cannot be read by somebody in the middle.
For example, if you login to a webpage with http your password will be sent in clear text and possibly read by somebody in the middle (your internet provider, your company, any other network in between …) while on https that same password is encrypted before it leaves your browser and it’s safe until it reaches the server, where is decrypted
It works with a chain of certificates approved by some authorities that your browser trust, so that beside encryption you can also trust that the website you are connecting to is actually who it claims to be (of course, that require you trusting the web site certificate and chain of trust).
- Comment on Can a small android phone work as a router ? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, but I was thinking more of a real router, one with many Ethernet plugs. Afterall an Android phone already is a router if you enable wifi hot spot…
- Comment on Can a small android phone work as a router ? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, but which long of router? The lack of physical Ethernet ports will be kind of a limit…

Don’t ignore a N^2 stack as well

No. If your new protocol is at level N, you just build it on top of level N-1
- Comment on Local news did an entire segment featuring a guy who's mad about having to drive more carefully. 4 weeks ago:
Maybe, but more probably it’s just incompetence due to ignorance … It take time to learn how to do things properly and in the US it’s not like they have experience on that, don’t they?
And probably lack general regulations on how to do it properly, like they have in Germany on in the Netherlands …

Yeah … No native speaker here … :)

To be honest those gray small concrete blocks with funny useless poles in them are really a bad road UI design.
Not visible enough and too small to be effective anyway…
So while the complaints are stupid, they have a point: make those road blockers bigger and more visible. Maybe more signage as well…

I see plenty of believable and probably not made up replies already that make your comment incorrect.
Get a life, go increase that number for yourself, promise it’s worthwhile :)
Take care friend.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
About 6 iirc. It’s been a long time since I started that count, and that wasn’t too early in my life.
I think you get to increase that number a lot either in your 20ies or above your 50ies, depending on how your middle age goes and your teen age went… If you got divorced or widowed and or if your character.
Currently on track not to increase that number in my life.

Then, I stand corrected …
Thank you

I am not referring to the chips themselves, but to the ecosystem around and the more often than not unlockable bootloaders and lack of something like bios or UEFI. Even on UEFI you can disable Microsoft keys and install yours, at least on decent ones.
But yes, arm is an easier to reproduce architecture at this time, chip side at least
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
The overall success of the Intel platform is that bios/UEFI is open so you can install any OS you want. On Arm this is not always the case (see phones and tablets) where more than not vendors lock in OS with an unlockable bootloader and crypto keys.
Also, on Intel, hardware is more standard and so drivers are available, or easily reverse engineered, for non mainstream os (Linux…). On Arm again this is rarely the case, and you are stuck with old not supported kernels when you are lucky
There is one exception to all this on Arm and it’s the Pi (with all the clones). But as far as phones, tablets (including windows tablets) and even laptops (chromeos stuff…) the reality is pretty different and would bring us a locked in future where the choice we have today is luxury.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I think no, a part from much better power management, what advantage does arm offer over Intel compatible?
Also, arm is much more proprietary and less open than Intel, so I hope not
- Comment on In today's term what is the middle class in the US? If the government wanted to help the middle class and poor how would they go about it? Beside the toss money at the problem solution? 5 weeks ago:
Well, my point was on healthcare and school mostly … But many countries tried some form of UBI, and mostly failed tough.

Free?
Have you ever heard of taxes? That’s the way a society should finance itself, by making sure that everybody contributes to it, proportionally to their means.
Well, that’s the theory… Never really seen that implemented properly but…

It’s called a functional society…

Free healthcare, basic income, free kindergarten and school at least up to high school?
Something most civilized countries already have.
- Comment on If your significant other cheated on you, would you confront or attack the person they cheated with? 5 weeks ago:
There is a huge difference between your best friend and your partner. But maybe I am looking at it from 50 years of life, quite a few partners changed over time, where I have been cheated on or I have cheated on. And also where nobody has cheated on.
So I see things less black and white.
What I have learned is that cheating comes when there is a problem in the relationship, not the other way around. Never.
So first and foremost you look at your relationship then look outside. Or you will only repeat the same cycle that lead partner to cheat with the next partner.
Should you hate your best friend? Yes I guess… Should you hate your partner? Yes I guess. Should you blame them? No. Relationship is two people, and you are one of those two people. So blame also yourself as much as you blame partner, and maybe the third person
But always the fault in cheating lays on BOTH you and partner first and foremost. And trust me: you have 50% of the blame even if partner is the one that cheated. He, or she, of course fully bear the other 50%.
The third person might be a bastard that took advantage of the situation or maybe genuinely fell in love with your partner. But that person has no blame in the cheating
I am talking experience and real life cheating, not theorical hypothesis here.
