You do realize that the heat death of the universe would only likely take place in literally trillions and trillions and trillions of years time? Climate change is happening now.

Ah, that's quite interesting. You really do learn something new every day!

May I ask, what exactly is a shared ground connection? I've not heard that term before.

27

I own a pair of speakers which are powered by USB. I've had them plugged into my computer for a long while, but whenever I turned up the volume, I'd hear a high-pitched squealing sound from them which would fluctuate in pitch. For the longest while, I thought this was just an issue with the AUX cable, perhaps something relating to my GPU's coil whine.

Recently, though, I more or less completely rebuilt my PC minus 1 of the hard drives, which I'm still using now. I noticed that the speakers were still squealing even with the new motherboard, PSU and GPU.

A couple posts I found online indicated that the problem was likely due to an under insulated AUX cable receiving interference from EMF waves.

Despite that, for whatever reason, I decided I'd try to plug the speaker's power cable into the USB port on my power outlet. The squealing completely stopped! I'm not sure if there is a difference with the power delivered by computers USB ports vs the outlet (Please do let me know if there is!), but the issue has completely resolved itself.

Not sure if this is really the best place to post this, but I just really wanted to tell someone. I'm quite content!

Generally I'm not against w3 schools for quickly checking the syntax of something or how to use a specific method, but I always try stay clear of their larger code examples.

I was learning PHP a couple years back for some hobby side projects I was working on. They provide some code here about how to connect to an SQL database. I ended up using this code for almost a year on some publicly hosted sites.

The code they provided isn't secure, though. It can output database errors to the client, and give away information about your database which a random user shouldn't have access to.

Additionally, the beginning few pages for their SQL insertion examples doesn't mention anywhere that you should be using prepared statements. There is a page slightly further down, but for the average person learning the language, there's no reason for them not to just copy parts the extremely insecure code and use it in their projects.

W3 schools imo is great for quickly checking up on something, but generally it's probably better to avoid their examples and look up the language standards somewhere else.

Second Fedora workstation. Spent almost an entire year distro hopping to find a distro that worked out the box with my laptops touch screen. Fedora has been the one - super polished too!

Not sure if you meant pihole or not, but if you did, I thought I'd just mention that a pihole doesn't remove ads on YouTube due to the fact that the ads and the videos are served from the same server. You block the ads, you block the videos. Made me quite sad after I set my one up.

Unless you didn't mean pihole, in which case do enlighten me as to what a pinhole is :))

Obviously my opinion, but infinity for lemmy has worked really great for me so far on Android!

Additionally, many newer games use Denuvo which is known for making your games run slower. Sometimes the pirated copies not only take up less space, but also perform better.

I might be completely wrong here, but I don't believe that the GDPR requires that the user themselves can delete the information. I imagine that as long as instance owners / admins delete user data upon the user's request to do so, that they'd be operating within GDPR standards.

But again, I probably don't know enough about GDPR to be commenting on it :P

Yeah, the person who initially recommended me the game told me to not even watch the trailer. I watched it anyway, but the point he was making was to enjoy the game the first time, as you won't get that same experience again.

I guess you could say the same applies to every story game, but from what I've heard, it applies so much more so to Outer Wilds. Wish me luck on my adventure, I look forward to it!

I really enjoyed both the Ori games, Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. The dev studio more or less got scrapped, but the two games they put out are honestly my favourite platformer games ever made. The music, combat, platforming, story and artwork are all so well done!
