I just learned about HDCP. What if you have display without HDCP support? This just sounds like a stupid idea.

Edit: Apparently laptops and computers should have that too. Is there any way I can test it on demand?

Edit 2: Intel just discontinued HDCP on Linux at start of this year.

If you don’t need to download it, there’s himovies.sx. There used to be option to download, but maybe they had some issues with that.

user224 ,

OK, I checked it for you. In Firefox you can open inspector and then head to Network tab and there get the .m3u8 playlist URL. I’d recommend to check in VLC if it works. If playing it in VLC is all you need, good.

Another option is to download it using youtube-dl. I tried it and it started the download, so that will probably work too.

user224 ,

It seems they just use file hosts, although they still do recommend using a VPN.

Do you still write notes with pen and paper?

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don’t have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still...

user224 ,

Just on phone. They’re not important notes though. Just random stuff. I don’t even remember the context for 80% of that.

You get the idea.

user224 ,

For me it’s other way around. If I have to write I only focus on writing itself, and not the content. This also often causes me to accidentally repeat words, mix up letters, erase it, repeatedly end up writing the wrong letter because I need to speed up, then I have to leave out a section because I already forgot what I wanted to write.
And in the end I still can’t decipher quarter of my handwriting.

user224 ,

Break the

Beautiful words. I shed a tear.

user224 ,

Makes sense. Have you ever tried the impossible Yandex Captcha? Don’t even try. You can’t do it. It is simply not possible for a human to do.

user224 ,

Wait, what now?

That sounds awesome!

user224 ,

Same here. I’ve only stopped using their stuff when it was already too small for me. Their CruzerBlade flash drives are my favorite flash drives thanks to their fast random access. I installed Linux Mint on 1 of them and it runs fairly well. Much faster than HDD unless you’re doing large file transfers. Obviously this greatly limits their lifespan, flash drives can’t handle so many writes.
I just replaced a SanDisk MicroSD card in my phone for Samsung one, and I regret it. Moving many small files is noticeably slower.

On the other hand there’s Philips. Sequential I/O gave me better results than the SanDisk drive, but that thing isn’t even useful as installation disk. That thing is just awfully slow. How they managed to make a flash drive slower than DVD, I don’t understand. But hopefully it’s just faulty unit that I have.

user224 ,

To be honest, I wouldn’t even open the post otherwise.

Unfortunately, the only thing that scans it is the Scandit Demo app. I also tried zbarimg and this app that generated it.

At least that’s the case when scanning from camera. The original QR code image I put in description scans.

user224 OP ,

Try it again and you’ll get a different number. Your scanner probably thinks there’s EAN code in it.

user224 OP ,

There’s 40 different sizes (versions) of QR codes: www.qrcode.com/en/about/version.html

user224 OP ,

This was printed on HP printer. But a 20 year old one. Only gives me warning about low ink but still let’s me print.

It also doesn’t work with Windows past Windows 7, but I don’t use Windows anyway.

user224 OP ,

:-/

I put the original QR code in description. It scans in Google Lens when I put it there as image, although it takes it a few seconds.

user224 OP ,

I was originally thinking about blinking Firefox banner in the 88x31 style, but, you know…

user224 OP ,

Yep, that’s what it is. JPG in base64.

You should be able to open it directly in your browser if you put data:image/jpeg;base64, in front of it.
Alternatively you can use echo ‘the output you posted’ | base64 -d > image.jpg
Alternatively, you can paste it to this website: base64-to-image.com

Also thanks for the app recommendation. Works awesomely and is also open-source.

user224 OP ,

A glorious picture that’s been compressed down to 1.9kB to fit into QR code.

Better yet, Degrees Rankine.

Room temperatures in different units:
Degrees Reamur - 16.8
Degrees Celsius - 21
Degrees Fahrenheit - 69.8
Kelvin - 294.15
Degrees Rankine - 529.47

I have room temperature IQ in degrees Reamur, btw.

Don’t you have to do that anyway if you install Windows yourself?

user224 ,

I had same problem multiple times when I tried Windows. The recommendations I could find on internet were to disable fast startup and boot into live Linux disc.

user224 ,

Well, same if you had Linux pre-installed.

user224 ,

By the way, Ubuntu and probably most Ubuntu-based distros (like Linux Mint) also have driver manager (ubuntu-drivers) that handles drivers similarly to the “search for driver” feature. Except that ubuntu-drivers also let’s you select between multiple drivers and let’s you easily uninstall them.

user224 ,

I just checked Lenovo from Google Search. I only checked the British site, but if you select “No OS” instead of Windows 11 Home, it’s -90£ (115USD)!

Holy hell! I didn’t realize Windows license makes up such a big part of the price.
Now I wonder how much of the price it could be with the cheap Umax laptops sold in Czech republic and Slovakia. They start at €130 with Windows Pro license.

user224 ,

Eeeh, nope. It’s 6:25AM and I already spent 2 hours on Lemmy.

Fun fact, if you use the PixelExperience custom ROM, you get free unlimited photo storage in original quality because Google thinks you’re actually using a Pixel phone.

No guarantees they won’t delete your account if they figure out. But it worked for me until I finally got another phone.

It’s just a normal Polish instance it seems, but it has open registrations.

Edit: Oldest posts are from 3 years ago, and it’s still maintained. The registration only uses captcha.

Jesus Christ, at least make your spam readable. Checking the post source I see you tried to do that using headlines, but failed. You need to put space between hashtag and text to create a headline: # Headline

You also didn’t put URLs into the links. What’s the point of it then??

What's the history behind cam rips of movies and where have they typically came from?

I’ve seen a few throughout my life at friend’s houses as a kid during the age of Limewire. Typically they were pretty good quality even though you’d see the odd person get up from their seat or hardcoded subtitles. Lately I’ve been curious about the history behind them and how they came to be....

Microsoft now has implemented "compare with Bing chat" button when you visit Google Bard in Edge (reddthat.com)

When you visit the Google’s chatbot bard’s website in Microsoft Bing. A New Button pops up besides the search bar which lets you compare bard results with Bing chat’s. I have no idea why they implemented this, well maybe to show off the their chatbot is better than bard or something?

user224 ,

Well, they also mangle/limit the Google Search on Firefox for Android. If you change your useragent to Chrome, it will show just fine, so it’s not issue with Firefox, it’s deliberate.

user224 ,

https://i.imgur.com/TKM2GMY.gif

user224 ,

Just gives you a limited interface. The menu on left side is completely gone, voice search is missing, Google Lens is missing, you can’t search by tags.

This add-on fixes it by changing useragent to Chrome when browsing Google: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/google-search-fixer/ which makes Firefox contribute to Chrome marketshare.

user224 ,

Weird to think now that Google used to have Customized Firefox search page.

What’s the problem with Manjaro? I like it, but I keep seeing people hate Manjaro. Is there some reason I shouldn’t be using it?

user224 ,

For me it’s Ubuntu. Whenever I tried it it was buggy and crashing. It kinda feels like Windows of GNU+Linux.

About Manjaro, I like it. I kinda feel sad seeing Manjaro get so much hate. The only thing I disliked was the accidental DDoS of AUR. But so far it’s been working relatively well for me. I use Manjaro with Plasma.

And my favorite is Linux Mint. It just works, and it does so reliably. Also the Linux Mint community is really nice.

As such, I donated to Manjaro, Arch, and Linux Mint. Not much, but at least something.

user224 ,

Thank you. The 830 page book that I found as individual previews on some Chinese site, downloaded each page separately as image (which it was giving for previews), and put together into 1 PDF over the course of 3 days is also there, on libgen.is.
