Flour is flammable and light. If the fan makes a bunch of it fly around in your oven the heating element could ignite it. Search YouTube for “flour fire”.

Probably not super dangerous at if you’re just baking a sheet pan of flour, but good to be safe.

If you bake dry flour , remember to NOT use convection.

You can make safe edible cookie dough pretty easily . The eggs aren’t the only issue, it’s the flour itself. If you bake it at like 275F for 30 mins in a sheet pan it’ll sterilize it. For edible cookie dough that won’t be baked you don’t even need eggs.

Having said that, I too have eaten my share of regular cookie dough.

It’s highly likely that you had one or more bad-but-not-dead cables (like a weak termination) that was limiting your speed. By swapping everything out you fixed the problem. Cat 5e to 8 definitely shouldn’t have caused that much if a jump (if any).

The fact that they can fuck up this bad and only lose 20 percent is kind of hilarious. Major infrastructure across the world is on its knees because of their fuck up. If that’s not enough to kill them then nothing is.

Edit - when I checked they were rebounding, only down 11.3 percent today now. I guess the stockmarket has determined that this fuckup isn’t so bad.

Western countries employing Indian coders are generally looking for the cheapest coders they can find who speak passable English. All of that sounds like you got what you paid for.

Size really does matter for sites like this. Reddit still hosts many smaller subs for niche topics that often have limited toxicity. Lemmy can’t match it yet unfortunately.

I agree, and also the 1984 David Lynch Dune movie was the pinnacle of film making.

You should watch Hell or High Water. It’s set in West Texas but the story has broader relevance and it’s a great film.

I like Nebula but it’s not comparable to YouTube and isnt supposed to be .

If someone working in semiconductor manufacturing were to answer this question they would probably have to say “I make sand think” and just walk away.

VR has been around in modern form for more than a decade and the only truly novel and useful application is some types of gameplay.

There are a few other legitimate applications. Architects can offer people a 1st person view of a designed building. There are already companies that let people do VR walkthrough of homes they’re considering buying rather than in person open houses (I think this started in the pandemic).

These things have value but they’re niche applications that can be done with any VR headset.

Has anyone identified the “killer app” yet?

I still don’t see it. I watched a lot of review vids just because it was interesting but I don’t see a single thing that the Vision Pro can do that can’t be done better with other devices.

The tech and computation required for those avatar things is amazing . It might get much better soon. But even if it does, will it be better than simple FaceTime type video conferences?

It’s not clear to me how apple even imagines people using the thing.

This is just a less gross version of “DAE store their piss in jars so they can commemorate their unitary secretions”?

Did OP even agree to their terms?

That’s fair, the privacy concerns are not ultimately addressable with a closed-source application. I can encrypt communication and the db itself since I am self-hosting it, but ultimately I’m using the obsidian app on desktop and mobile so I don’t know where the data is going unless I specifically manage it’s network usage etc which is a ton of extra work.

I haven’t actually started taking notes with obsidian yet, I just got it setup. But the plugin support is…massive. IDK.

Yes I probably should have implemented that, but the Obsidian plugin implementation (“Self-hosted Live sync”) appears to work almost shockingly well. I was amazed by how easy it was to setup . Setting up a couchdb instance took more time than getting sync going across all my devices, and couchdb wasn’t that hard either.

I recently settled on Obsidian too. It’s proprietary software, but the text files themselves are in simple markdown and readable in a text editor. Additionally, you can sync across multiple devices using their paid service (which works flawlessly for everything) or set up sync yourself for free if you know how to host a couchdb instance yourself (works perfectly for everything except iOS, apparently).

The plugin support was baked in from the start so it’s extremely flexible.

I know they’re generally harmless (they eat bugs and won’t bite you if you leave it alone) but they make my skin crawl and I can’t help but kill them with extreme prejudice when I find one.
