Thank you for the correction.

I think genAI would be pretty neat for ~~bit banging tests~~ fuzzing, aka. Throwing semi-random requests and/or signals at some device in the hopes of finding obscure edge-cases or security holes.

There was a supply shortage of fans during the launch of the LCD model. Valve solved this by shipping two types of fans until supply was restored. If you had one of the alternative fans, then your SD would have a pretty bad whine.

Though, Valve offered original replacement fans via. IFixIt soon after, so you could just buy the better fan and change it. I did.

First time I'm seeing this. Didn't even know something like this existed, though, I guess it does make sense.

Seems logical. I give at least a 5 to everything I find interesting enough to watch and complete of own volition.

If I gave it below 5, then I either watched it in a social setting or dropped it at some point.

Of course this means that my rating is skewed in favour of my tastes (duh).

Mmmmh, thunderflies.

I just LOVE when my new monitor has 5 dead bugs within half a year. Though, I don't think I've ever found a hair.

Timeshift isn't really the right tool for the job, and i've had beef with clonezilla myself.

Using dd in a live environment is one of the most raw and powerful methods. Though, it doesn't have any of the fool-proofs of cloning tools, so it's not really recommended if you're not comfortable with the terminal.

dd (or dcfldd for better dd, or ddrescue for damaged disks) is how I personally do my clones and full disk backups. Few tools beat the speed and control.

The by far easiest method is to install the Steam Link app on the TV. Though, Samsung removed the app a few years ago for some reason. (Yup, i too had a Samsung TV, though likely my last.)

The next easiest method, though not wireless, is to get a dock or USB hub and then use a HDMI cable.

Alternatively, if you are a little tech-savvy, you could see if you can get Moonlight (please excuse the reddit link) to work, though I have no experience with that tool.

It's gotten to the point where many atheists appear to fanatically believe in science, but without believing in the scientific method on which science itself builds.

Who's talking server side code? just releasing the compiled server binary should be enough. Just like games typically are released as binaries and assets, and not as source code.

Can you decompile the server binary? Yes you can! But you can also decompile the game to work without the server or with a makeshift server. Either is just a lot of work that few people are willing to do.

Protecting the server code is rather useless if the game can be cracked, since then you can also play the game for '0.00 €$'.

And the above was literally how I was thought to represent data in university. Maximize the areas of interest, make sure to properly label your axes (lest they become misleading), and remember to trim empty space where relevant.

But it appears that proper graphs for science and engineering reports may not be used for representing data to the common man, as it must be assumed that, even for the most simple of graphs, the common man will only look at the funny line, but not the graph itself.

I was of the impression that reading a graph also required understanding of regular writing/reading, but I'm no native speaker, so I'll gladly stand corrected.

I'm not sure what you mean by "one of those little zigzag indicators", do you perhaps mean leap/break in data denoted by the "Squiggle"? I don't think any data below 7m is included in this graph, so, if I understand you correctly, then that wouldn't be a proper use of said squiggle.
