The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.

Unless your precise location is a statistical outlier these will be the same thing?

EmptySlime ,

Not really. Using % of forecast area as % chance of rain inherently gives equal weight to your position being anywhere within that area. Even if you limit the forecast area to the 5m or whatever it is radius that smartphone GPS is typically accurate to which a weather app could theoretically do, simply using % of the forecast area covered as % chance of rain inherently gives equal probability of you being literally anywhere within that 5m radius. It would obviously still be more accurate, but those numbers wouldn’t be the same thing.

Kelly ,

Yes, unless your location is a statistical outlier the two are the same.

If you happen to know you are on the lee side of a mountain that might change thinks but for most people they are one and the same.

In Australia BOM’s Australian Digital Forecast Database uses a 3x3 KM grid for Victoria and Tasmania or a 6x6 KM grid for the rest of the country.

I’m in a 6x6 area but thats fine for daily forcasts.They also offer forecasts for 3 hour windows for the next 72 hours which is great for medium term planning but to be honest its the rain radar that I use the most. They offer a rain radar that has a 90 minute history and a 90 minute forecast that has sufficient resolution that I can time my breaks at work to stay dry.

Change your password immediately to something you’ve never used before and isn’t similar to current passwords. If you’re getting random 2fa codes, someone is able to complete your first factor, so fix that ASAP.

It might not be 2-factor. Microsoft has an option to log in via email code, which doesn’t need a password.

Luvs2Spuj ,

I had the same issue as OP, spoke to Microsoft who said I didn’t need to change my password. I think these are sent before the password is confirmed.

Trollivier , to asklemmy in TV nerds: what should I watch

If you like Vikings, try Black Sails. A very, very underrated pirate story, unofficial prequel to the story of Treasure Island that you might have read as a kid.

I watch it once a year. It’s that good. It recently appeared on Netflix in the USA and it’s finally starting to get the attention it deserves.

lichtmetzger ,

Hell yeah, such an amazing show!

TimLovesTech , to music in What type of music is predominant on this community?
@TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social avatar

I listen to predominantly jam bands, hip hop, and rock/metal from 60’s - 90’s. I think jam band stuff is really the only music that I listen to newer than the 90’s though. I do like a bit of jamtronica kinda stuff from time to time though, and have no idea what half of what you listed even is (ugh I’m old).

hperrin , to pcgaming in Which game made you realize PC was superior platform to Console (or/and viceversa)?

PC is superior in many ways, and console is superior in some others. It depends on what you value. The only reason my wife plays on PC is because I helped her get everything set up, but she didn’t need any help at all to play on the PlayStation. If you just want to play games and don’t care about tweaking things or getting the best graphics, consoles are better because they’re simple. I like to tweak and tinker and get the best graphics I can and play with mods, so I’ve always been partial to PC.

Tovervlag , to linux in Would being a Linux "power user" increase my chances of getting a job in IT/tech?

In my area being a linux admin actually pays less than I expected. I kinda always hoped to get into a linux admin role. Now I have a sort of cloud ops role and it makes more than a typical linux admin would. It would just be silly for me to pursue this any further. That doesn’t mean I don’t touch Linux on a daily basis at work. But it’s more alround.

truxnell , to linuxmemes in Have you tried NixOS?

Most definietly, I have my entire homelab setup in nix as well as laptop/desktop. Is a hell of a lot easier and more reliable than the Kubernetes setup it replaced…

Shareni ,

Damn you broke my brain for a second there. I thought you meant that nixos replaced k8s, and was wondering what the hell are you talking about.

truxnell ,

Haha yeah could have worded better. I was running a 3 node k8s cluster on Talos Linux as my homelab. Downsized/simplified to a single NAS (aka NixNAS) + NUC on nixos and split the services between them. Apps that heavily use the NAS live on it for direct file access, the rest hum along on the nuc. I sleep easier with this, rather than fighting nose breakage during upgrades or wondering when my next ceph failure will occur.

cbarrick , to music in What type of music is predominant on this community?

Random Access Memories by Daft Punk is my favorite album of all time.

Recently, I’ve been listening to Ænima by TOOL.

I could listen to anything by A Devil Makes Three.

Grace by Jeff Buckley ranks pretty highly for me.

Spotify has a playlist called “Songs To Test Headphones With” that I like a lot.

In general, I like anything with a lot of sounds and layers to groove to.

Happy to see Perfect Dark so well represented - it was a hell of a hidden gem; it got sorta overshadowed by Goldeneye in the collective memory but it was one of those rare and shining examples of a sequel that perfectly added great and innovative next steps to the winning formula of the good first game without mucking up the core mechanics any.

MCasq_qsaCJ_234 , to technology in Posit: In the future, generative A.I. will be thought of as the unconscious part of a general A.I.'s mind.

Technically, what you say is possible thanks to the phenomenon called emergence and it is possible that AI can emulate human minds in the future.

I don’t even remember how updates used to be like in Windows. Except perhaps the nagging associated with manual updates.

BCsven , to linuxmemes in Have you tried NixOS?

Yep, running on 2010 laptop. works great.

scytale , to nostupidquestions in Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?

Weather Underground allows you to filter down to your zip code. Not accurate down to your exact vicinity, but better than the weather forecast for your entire city.

kent_eh ,

I was also going to suggest Weather Underground.

The sensors include crowdsourced information from personal weather instruments that people have installed themselves.

There are 3 measuring stations within a 5 min walk of my current location, and a large number of them all across my city.

The only downside I see is that the app is ad supported.
