Having finally finished Horizon Forbidden West last night, I’ve got to choose that. Instant favourite for me. Nostalgic moments when the theme kicked in in one of its altered versions, and the credits just completely floored me. Stuck around for the whole 30+ mins. Wonderful.
Away from that, Mass Effect always needs a mention!
Same, Forbidden West had an absolutely banger soundtrack. Atmospheric and exciting, I put it on sometimes when I’m working to make the tasks feel more adventurous
If you’re technically inclined, a simple bash script with a for loop could dump the time and discharge rate to a text file every minute. Then you could copy/paste that into LibreOffice calc and do yourself some pretty graphs, or whatever.
edit: just found a tool called powerstat which looks like it does sampling over longer intervals.
Well, no program can accurately predict how you are going to use your laptop in the next hours. The best you can do is sample a given reference period and assume it’ll be the same but you have already noted the problem with that.
I’d recommend you monitor total power draw while using your laptop. It’s inversely proportiaonal to battery life: If you could reach 10h at 5W, you’d only reach 5h at 10W, 2.5h at 20W and so on; you can think of it as a metric for battery drain.
I suspect speedometers are never completely accurate. So instead of an exact number, they’ll use a needle and you can guess how fast you’re approximately going
Ace Combat, mainly Ace Combat 5 but all of them are well known for their soundtracks.
More recently WARNO has excellent music so far, even though most of it was licensed by Eugen from third parties so it doesn’t really count as a soundtrack specific to the game.
Sofathoughts: “Health-y” implies it is a state of in good health. Inanimate things can’t be in good health. Therefore, they should be “health-ful” foods.
Meh, decentralized youtube alternatives have practically nothing interesting.
Social media and forums, I can see them getting replaced. Social media and forums are about the people, powered by discussion amongst peers. Decentralized Social platforms will thrive if there’s enough people. A video platform? Videos take a lot more effort and only a small percentage of users are really “content creators”. These content creators typically want to get paid for so much effort they put in to the videos, so it’s really unlikely a decentralized platform can provide adequate compensation. Youtube ain’t going away anytime soon whether you like it or not.
TLDR; Video Platforms =/= Social medias and Forums.
That is still Youtube. Google can take down videos they don’t like. The point of decentralization is to spread power so that no single entity can censor anything. (Although, collectively, they can still stop unwanted content, such as hate speech, but not something that one instance admin can do. People can always repost to another instance.) Using a front-end to access Youtube doesn’t not change the fact that Google is still in control. I mean, I could use Firefox + uBlock Origin + a VPN to browse Youtube and achieve the same thing as whatever front-end you use.
On the other hand, more and more video creators on YouTube make the bulk of their money off of Patreon, rather than YouTube ads, and if it were possible to increase their Patreon subscriptions by posting to PeerTube as well as YouTube, interesting things could happen.
That would really surface the cost of video hosting, though
Most Podcasts live off of Patreon and no compensation from hosting services. And still they are out there. I don’t see the difference to videos. The only thing youtube has over peertube is visibility. But one can argue peertube in combination with some other fediverse service like Mastodon or Lemmy can fix this and give you more visibility for your videos.
I had a VW Tiguan that had both, but the digital one didn’t poll very often so it was incredibly unreliable. My Audi Q7 has both too, but the analog one is on a digital display, which is kind of weird to think about. Like a computer using an analog clock.
