It really depends on what you're measuring. Good luck measuring the distance from a corner if you can't get 0 to touch the end.

Tape measures are almost always designed with this in mind, so you can hook the end over an edge, or butt it up against something and the measurement will be accurate both ways, since the metal end can slide in or out by just the right amount.

Name a single viable alternative to YouTube at this point in time. Alternative frontends don't count, since they still rely on YouTube to work. None of the creators I watch upload anywhere else.

This was definitely just Samsung's thing, but I had thought it made it out into the wild. Not 100% sure.

All the phone image post processing was literally what drove me to buy a Digital Full-frame Mirrorless camera. I know the raw photos coming off that are completely unedited, and I can choose to do any color correction or whatever myself. My previous Samsung phone always seemed to output smeary garbage when taking photos in the forest.

Unfortunately with Google's antitrust lawsuits, it's quite likely Mozilla will lose the majority of their funding in the near future, since their biggest source of revenue is Google paying them to be default.

I have absolutely no clue what my highschool locker combination is, but I guarantee you if you handed me the lock, I could open it first or second try. That muscle memory is burned deep into my hands, and it's been over 10 years.

I've been eating gluten free for 15+ years now, and it's gotten so much easier now. Though the food definitely costs more if you want any sort of grains.

When I was diagnosed I had basically no symptoms (my mom was also diagnosed). Now if I eat gluten I'll end up feeling similar to a hangover. It's amazing what your body can get used to if you're eating it constantly.

Now that I've been eating gluten free, several of my other food sensitivities and allergies have become more mild or gone away entirely. Milk was a big one when I was younger (tested negative for lactose, but the milk proteins can look similar to gluten to your immune system).

One or two models have increased in accuracy. Meanwhile all the grifters have caught on and there's 1000x more AI companies out there that are just reselling ChatGPT with some new paint.

A Raspberry PI should be fine for direct play, but it doesn't really have the processing power to transcode. Check to see which mode you're in.

If you want the ability to live transcode, you'd probably have better luck with an old laptop or PC with a dedicated GPU (Even the lowest end ones have the same video encoding hardware in each generation, I use a GTX 1050).

Seize who's assets exactly? The second you draw a line and say anyone on the other side has fewer rights than you, you're falling right in line with those same right-wing policies.

There is no way to define a law against "right-wingers" that doesn't infringe on basic rights like freedom of opinion and freedom from discrimination. You can't punish people for being part of a group. You need to point to something specific that each individual has done that is illegal before prosecuting. Anything less and society will break down into fascism.

Surprising, since Lex Luthor was often portrayed as a wealthy billionaire.
