Not to put too fine a point on it, but those documents were stolen in DC, not Florida. Sure there could be “both”, but seriously.

I believe the idea was that if he was convicted in Florida by a Republican biased jury, there would be fewer claims of it being rigged or whatever. Seems stupid in hindsight since Cannon ended up being assigned the case.

And the software ecosystem, much of which they have funded/developed. In 2015, there was no proton, no DXVK, no vkd3d, and most important, no Vulkan.

It's a reverse-cycle AC if you've heard the term. Basically, an AC that can can run in reverse, heating the room.

It's the most efficient form of heating and cooling that we have, since it doesn't create energy, but instead moves it (so its efficiency is greater than 100%).

I'd guess it was an attempt to keep the title succinct, then not proofing it properly. In any case, always read the article before commenting as titles are frequently misleading (intentional or not).

I've seen it go down in some cases on VPNs, so it could be a matter of time (or they'll find a solution again and the back and forth will just continue).

Youtube isn't just a thing people use to waste time, but a source of educational content. That actually matters, and there isn't a good alternative to much of it.

That being said, I agree that people could at least drop it (or reduce their usage) if they are just using it as a time waster.

What headphones in particular are you using? Because with standard AD2P you're limited to mSBC at best, but maybe your device has some proprietary implementation.

You could try with a hardware dongle, but no guarantee that will work either.

At least in the long run it should be fixed by Bluetooth LE audio, but I'm not sure if the Deck properly supports it yet, and it requires new audio devices as well.

Pulseaudio has been pretty solid for a while now which is what the steamdeck uses from what i can see online.

It uses Pipewire, but it has pretty close to full API compatibility with Pulseaudio (and Jack) so most applications will "just work" and you get lower and more stable latency in return.

On the open source side of things, I'll add that gadgetbridge is pretty rapidly making progress with Garmin devices. Might not be enough if you're deep into the Garmin ecosystem etc, but if you just want something simple and private, it's a good alternative.

I suggest using the nightly f-droid repo as there's new updates multiple times per week.

They are right that Garmin sleep tracking is pretty inaccurate though. Not so much the length, but identifying the sleep stages correctly. But yeah, it's like how drinking alcohol fucks your HRV up, it's just showing the issues alcohol can cause.

Or they manually create their own typography engine using ed, the standard editor.
