Thanks! I just sent you a tip as a thank you! Keep up the great work!

I’m actually wondering now if the fix has not been deployed but has been added for an upcoming release? My app still has the issue.. anyone else know?

Looks like this was the issue and a fix has just been deployed. Fast work!

Yeah that might be it I guess. Lemmy.ml is the OG instance that the devs of Lemmy maintain though right? I guess they may have pushed a recent update that other instances don’t have which could have caused the issue? @dessalines@lemmy.ml any idea if this could be the case?

Images blurry / low res (lemmy.ml)
 

In the last day or so I have noticed that images on nearly all posts appear to be low resolution / blurry. Anyone else experiencing this? I am on version 2.18.4 iOS 17.6.1 iPhone 13 Pro.

How do Graphics Cards Work? Exploring GPU Architecture - YouTube by Branch Education (28:29 minutes) from Oct 19, 2024 (youtu.be)

Invidious, an alternative YouTube client in the browser without using YouTube directly (more private): https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=h9Z4oGN89MU

I recommend watching or listen this video at x1.4 playback speed. If you can't set the speed to this value, then at least watch at x1.25.

Description:

Graphics Cards can run some of the most incredible video games, but how many calculations do they perform every single second? Well, some of the most advanced graphics perform 36 Trillion calculations or more every single second. But how can a single device manage these tens of trillions of calculations? In this video, we explore the architecture inside the 3090 graphics card and the GA102 GPU chip architecture.

Note: We chose to feature the 30 series of GPUs because, to create accurate 3D models, we had to tear down a 3090 GPU rather destructively. We typically select a slightly older model because we're able to find broken components on eBay. If you're wondering, the 4090 can perform 82.58 trillion calculations a second, and then we're sure the 5090 will be even more.

Two Climate Change Plays Keep the Flames of Hope Alive in c/climate@slrpnk.net
[–] FrankLaskey@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Definitely read this title and thought “Oh great some positive climate change news” assuming they meant ‘plays’ as in ‘potential courses of action’, but upon clicking the article I realized they meant ‘plays’ as in live theater productions..

Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] FrankLaskey@lemmy.ml 287 points 3 weeks ago (24 children)

As a ‘front page of the internet’ it has been a pretty great replacement for me as it’s where I go each day to just see what’s going on. However, due to the smaller size you do lose a lot of the activity in more niche communities and the sheer volume of posts/comments compared to Reddit. That’s the biggest downside. Still, you also lose the incessant ads/bad UI/UX decisions and ever accelerating late stage capitalism driven enshittification so that’s a big plus.

iPhone 16 and 16 Pro review: A worthy upgrade after three years in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world
[–] FrankLaskey@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think the point about the 3 year upgrade cycle being optimal unless you are a real enthusiast is right on the money. I’d say I’m moderately interested in tech improvements in this space and it seems ideal for me as I will be considering an upgrade from an iPhone 13 Pro (likely informed by how gimmicky or actually useful the Apple Intelligence stuff becomes and if I can offload my ChatGPT Pro subscription). If you’re really not a huge phone tech person or looking for the best camera quality then every 4 years is probably completely reasonable as well. At that point, the battery life is probably starting to suffer as well..

This Is Why You Can't Get ADHD Treatment in c/adhd@lemmy.world
[–] FrankLaskey@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What a well-timed and interesting video. I just saw my doctor earlier today and we discussed medications to address my anxiety which appears to be exacerbated or induced by ADHD. He told me about the difficulties getting stimulant drugs and ended up prescribing bupropion (Wellbutrin) instead partly due to this issue. He did not make any mention of the role that the DEA or the profiteering of drug companies has apparently played in this situation.

How do you sort your view on Lemmy, mostly? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] FrankLaskey@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Tend to start with top (day) for my subs and then switch to scaled once I get down to posts that are below 100 upvotes or so to see more posts from smaller communities that can’t make that ‘top’ cut.

Mullvad VPN or Proton VPN? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] FrankLaskey@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Or you already use Proton Mail / Drive etc and want to save a bit of money with Proton Unlimited at 9.99 EUR/USD / mo. That’s why I switched from Mullvad. I do agree that overall though Mullvad is the best in terms of trustworthiness (so far as we know anyway)

Not exactly what I was thinking of but still worth a sub!

YSK about the app Yuka which lets you scan food and cosmetics to identify harmful chemicals or additives (yuka.io)
 

The app gives a score out of 100 for each product scanned based on how healthy or harmful it may be and offers alternative products which may be healthier. The developers do not sell ads or user data and have a no influence policy which prevents brands from paying to place their products in the app. There is a premium version which is sold on a sliding scale (pay what you want) and it offers the ability to search for products or save the data to search offline and a few other things but the free version is totally functional for checking products at home or at the store.

This wasp is half the size of an amoeba and its microscopic brain has a trick up its sleeve.. (blogs.dal.ca)

These wasps are not single-celled organisms though, and their brains alone contain 4600 neurons. For reference, the brain of a honeybee contains ~1 million neurons. Despite their extremely small heads (again, look at that head next to the SINGLE CELLED amoeba) the wasps can still fly, seek out mates, and find thrip eggs to parasitize. So…what? How?
