Then why list them?

Why do 98, 99 and 100 have no dots?

There’s some additional nostalgia attached to calling them with the simple fractions as opposed to the decimal ones, even if they mean the same thing. HDDs for example are still around and I’ve always seen their form factor as 3.5", not 3 1/2".

Sad thing is that, regardless of what he is or isn’t, people are answering his attention whoring with attention.

They’d stop us at the border

I’m a fan of physical media and at the same time I don’t believe in its supremacy; I don’t think it’s more practical than digital files for example.

I still like it because 1) it can be a way to directly support artists that I like and 2) it’s a way to own content instead of renting it.

Could be, I don’t know. I doubt that video creators would go through all of these old videos just to update them to a slightly higher bitrate; the other possibility is that YouTube kept the original uploads or higher bitrate variants without previously showing them (and only showed them now), but that seems like a huge waste of storage, so it seems unlikely to me. Again, we’re talking about old uploads (2-3 or up to 10 years ago), not new ones.

The one thing I’ve seen that makes sense is updating old videos that were previously available at up to 480p and bringing them up to 720p or 1080p (with the idea of keeping the original published video with the views, comments and so on instead of uploading a new one).

Ads aside, what’s been infuriating me lately is that YouTube seems to have degraded the quality of existing videos and locked the previously available quality behind the “1080p Enhanced Bitrate”; I have no way of confirming this since I obviously don’t have Premium, but I’m fairly sure that the regular 1080p of old videos that I rewatch from time to time (uploaded 2-3 years ago or earlier) is now worse than it was. If it was about new uploads with something previously unavailable, it would’ve been somewhat understandable. Something also tells me that the paid tier is also going to get ads eventually.

I’ve always believed that eating really spicy food is a form of masochism.

Ironically enough other standards appeared because of the need of more torque.

I agree with the “learn the CLI”, but to newcomers I’ll also suggest to look at the IDE/editor’s output channel - if there’s GUI for Git, there are also most likely logs for what’s happening under the hood - even if a little noisy, it can be a good learning resource. And of course if you’re learning and unsure of what’s happening (with the CLI or through a GUI), do so in a non-destructive manner (by having proper backups).

That has the same energy as complaining that a file manager has “Delete” in the context menu.

It’s on the Internet, it must be true

I placed the thing in a plate. It’s plated now.

But yeah, I get your point.

When does cooking stop counting as a basic day to day survival thing and start counting as a hobby?

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing

I remember playing this on a Radeon 9550 GPU with 128 MB VRAM and being amazed at how well it was running at 1680x1050.

Have you seen how metal keycaps are priced?
