Can you listen to music or watch a movie while on a discord call using the hands-free microphone in your Bluetooth headset? Full duplex audio still halves the nominal bitrate for both the microphone and media playback audio; same as when the HSP/HFP protocols we’re first showcased in 1999. It’s ridiculous, especially now that very few flagship devices still include a headset jack.

You should cross post this c/science_memes ! Instead of cooking the average paper for call deadline, it’s nice to publish something funny every once in a while.

Just like modern cars… I wish there was some kind legislation that would limit phone-home telemetry to emergency service telecommunication frequencies, and be opt-in only. That way any OEM operating under commercial cellular frequencies would thus be unlicensed, and subject to FCC violations and import bans. Like what OnStar was originally pitched as; only auto dialing to 911, and 911 only, if you were unresponsive after airbags deployed. OEM couldn’t use the telecommunication frequencies for anything other than networking with emergency service endpoints on the same VLAN.

Anything recorded by the vehicle would be required to stay on the vehicle due privacy regulations, like the black box recorder for warranted forensic investigations. OTA updates could also be distributed offline for users to download and flash via USB, like any motherboard bios, so transactions would be write only.

I wonder how health insurance providers would then find ways of carving out new coverage exemptions for treatment to upper lips.

With the release of a new LTS, I think I’ll finally catch on a little sooner this year, just as soon as my Ubuntu based distro upgrades to v24.04.

Huh, and here I thought “smh” was short for something like “*so much hate”. That makes more sense.
Wonder what other abbreviations, on the Internet or elsewhere, go completely and blissfully misinterpreted by folks for years.

I think the cat is more appalled with the fact that someone would boil chicken. He’s just sharing his sympathy for the poor ingredients.

Yep, it was a lot of fun doing out maneuver and dropping spike strips at just the most opportune and inescapable moment. NFS3 also has split screen where players could even play on different sides locally during the dance race, or complete as both cops to catch the most races.

I really appreciate this patch to run NFS3 on modern Windows or Wine:

• Need For Speed III Modern Patch v1.6.1 [2016/10/28] (HD + Widescreen + Portable)
  • https://veg.by/en/projects/nfs3/

The author has sence redacted the torrent link for the original game files bundled with a previous patch, but anyone can just as easily go back through intent archive to find it:

• https://web.archive.org/web/20180309165043/https://veg.by/en/projects/nfs3/

I’d like to see the earlier Hot Pursuit and High Stake releases remastered. I loved those long scenic and rural tracks. I played a lot of NFS3, and then a lot of the 2010 reboot because the graphics where better, but I still miss that retro '90s hypercar aesthetic and soundtrack.

The 2010 NFS HP reboot helped supplement my nostalgia, but sometimes I’d just want to go back to that grippy arcade style of driving dynamics, but with modern graphical realism. E.g like this vision of NFS3 ported to use the Unreal 5 Engine:

but only my modded communities, not ALL communities.

Ah, I see. That would be a cool view. I suppose any client could splice together that view by aggregating the logs for each separate moded community from the user’s profile, but this would be nice to support natively upstream via view filters or SQL APIs.

reddit style mod log, like a per sub

Checking the community sidebar, it does link to modlogs per community. E.g here is the modlog for this same continuity here:

• https://lemmy.world/modlog/22036

or all modded subs choice.

Could you expand on this?

On your Lemmy account settings when logged into your home instance from the web, do you have “Show Read Posts” unchecked? That will insure any posts you’ve marked are read from any client won’t get sent to you again when you refresh your feed later. This is a double edge sword as it can make finding read posts harder when uncheck. Some clients may do some filtering on the client side, but also enabling this server side make hiding read posts a lot more consistent between browser and other clients from the same account.
