Cameras have their own brightness controls via aperture and exposure, so you have no way of accurately judging lumens from a photo. A light meter is the only way to accurately measure brightness.

George is magestic.

I watched a strawbale building demonstration 20 years ago where they torched a stuccoed strawbale structure that had no treatments: the fire reached over 2000°f and when it was cooled, they cut open the stawbales and showed the fire didn’t burn the bale more than an inch deep. They really do not burn due to the lack of oxygen.

Water on the other hand can rot out a whole wall if it’s not sealed.

It you want a good, well maintained Arch based distro, check out Garuda. It’s been rock solid for me.

Saber Interactive is listed as one of the developers of Halo CE: they’re listed third after 343 Industries and Bungie, but honestly, you’re already supporting Microslop when you buy any Halo game.

Here’s 3 more one-week passes:

Imagine losing a carrier because a major world power’s military IT security is so incompetent they’re allowing sailors on active deployment to have unfettered internet access.

Failing to renew TLS certificates on time multiple times is enough to never touch it again, but there’s also been a lot of other problems with Manjaro.

When I used Manjaro, it never made it more than 6 weeks before something would catastrophically break and I’d have to roll back using snapshots.

I also started with Manjaro, but it’s broken mess. I moved to Garuda and it has been completely solid and stable for over a year.

It’s just way too cute.

Isgen.ai puts that at 88% chance it’s made by Stable Diffusion.

Reversely.ai says 99% Ai.

app.illuminarty.ai says 85% probability of being AI.

I’m sorry but the person who posted this is not being honest about how this was made.

Edit: every pic on that Instagram account screams Stable Diffusion.

100% AI slop.

Garuda Arch has been my favorite, but Endeavor did me right for a while.

My mind is blown every time I read that a major company has unleashed an “AI Agent” on production systems and code. Like, did everyone in the IT industry suddenly grow stupid and forget the most basic rule? Always sandbox and test. You never ever fuck around on production systems!

I guess setting up a test environment would take too much time and these chucklefucks must move faster and break more stuff.

Is $33m for 650 acres really lowballing?

The use of recording devices and cameras is generally banned in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Directly from the article.

Read the article.

Judge ordered no cameras in the court, and even if they were allowed, why would a judge allow one party to bring their own cameras that have facial recognition capabilities?

Camera in courtrooms are for transparency with the public, not for the defense to get facial scans of jurors and witnesses.

The judge made it clear no cameras or recording equipment were allowed in the session and they brought wearable cameras that have facial recognition capabilities. That is the definition of contempt of court.
