It's extremely time-, storage-, and compute-expensive to generate images for an entire library before-hand. In my case it's doing all this work for tons of content that I might not even watch again.
I guess the idea is that there's no delay in the images being available as soon as the programme is started?
I'm not sure the trade-off is worth it.

A $3 Million Crypto Wallet... A $2 Million Crypto Wallet... A $5.5 Million Crypto Wallet...
(This joke probably doesn't work anymore, but I still think it's funny.)

Rats. Leaving TPM off in the BIOS is how I've been avoiding it nagging me to upgrade from 10.

Interesting. As much as I'm a Foobar2000 fan, it's not open source. Looks like I'll be giving Winamp another spin soon.

I made this from a long piece cherry offcut that I've had sitting around for ages. Here's a better picture of the interesting bit:

I'm honestly not thrilled with the finish. I thought I'd sanded out all the little 'scales' the planer leaves, but many came back when I put the oil on.

Quick! Someone tell us why this isn't a good thing because the government did it! Surely there's some secret corruption at work!

‘splurging’ on a dumb tv

This might not be the best advice if money is an object, but some LG OLEDs can be rooted simply by visiting a website:
http://rootmy.tv
So you get a top-quality screen and complete control over the software.
Personally, I've never connected my LG OLED to the internet and it works just great.

Looks like a lot of info is shared through the manufacturer's app which interacts with the car. Easy to avoid if you don't install the app.
What we're all here looking to avoid is the car itself uploading data. The article isn't as clear about that, I guess since it depends so much on your exact model of vehicle.

I'm running a new installation of the server and LibreELEC (this worked fine on my previous installs, but I decided to fix what ain't broke).
I'm casting over the LAN from the server on Debian to LibreElec on a Rraspberry Pi.
The problem I'm encountering now is that LibreElec will hang and show a spinner for anywhere from 15 seconds to several minutes when advancing to the next track of an album or music playlist. It only breaks when I'm casting, not when I'm playing locally through the Player. It only breaks for FLAC files, not Mp3s, so transcoding seems to have something to do with it.
I've disabled playback of transcoded audio in the user's settings and restarted the server, but it didn't change anything.

Where should I be looking to figure this out?

I had to update my BIOS a while ago and it set TPM back to disabled as default. Voila. No Windows 11 prompts because, as far as it can tell, I do not meet the requirements.

I'll trade you my 3D TV for one.

I hate to say it, but it's probably an acceptable amount of flatness for a jobsite saw. I'm willing to bet their cast iron offerings have better tolerances. You do have the safety features, though.

I was cleaning out an old bookshelf and came across this 2003 Grizzly catalog. Coincidentally, I'd just received a 2023 mailer. I was shocked by the increases in price.

Some highlights:
Standard 14" band saw: $375 vs. $800
Standard 6" jointer: $400 vs. $900
4-piece Bessey K-body clamp set: $150 vs. $350

I know nothing about how inflation works, so I'm not sure whether this tracks with the price of bread or whatever, but it was eye-opening.

Initially I used my commercial bevel gauge, but the blade was long enough to interfere with the swing of the brace, plus it needed to be taped down for stability.
This gizmo I made from scrap should solve both of those problems.

This was inspired by a Rex Kruger video where he makes a stool from a single 2x4, and by Chris Schwarz's staked high stool.
Here's the video:

I often wished this was the banner over at /r/woodworking so we had something to point to that would clear up a lot of concerns.
