Keep in mind this is a very techy place. I doubt the LaTeX learning curve is worth it for the average Joe. It certainly shouldn’t be the only option for all document writing in school.

While I do agree that native is often better, in this case I don’t. I actually even use Heroic Launcher on Windows for Epic Games aswell.

Technology@lemmy.world•One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their LivesEnglish
6·13 days agoI never had problems with the collision detection (flashing BRAKE), up until I drove a Fiat 500e recently. It seems to differ by make and model I guess.
That Fiat was insanely obnoxious though: It plays a very loud DING and flashes the entire dash red, even if you’re going quite slow and can literally come to a complete stop with enough space between you and the car in front, just by taking your feet off the pedals and using regenerative braking.
I drove it once and I got that warning like five times. Never had it before with Ford, Opel, Renault, …

1·24 days agoAs someone who loved the Samsung Galaxy S series up until the S10, that’s not quite true. Samsung actually built decent DACs into their phones, with the S10 having that 32 bit 192 kHz.

Android@lemmy.world•Fairphone 6 Plus leaks reveal first images, specs, and pricingEnglish
2·24 days agoAFAIK it depends on the adapter, some phones have an inbuilt DAC and literally just use pins in the USB-C port for headphones, which means the dongle is literally just wires.
Other phones don’t have that and require the dongle to have its own DAC.
You probably used a simple adapter on a phone which didn’t have those headphone lines in the USB-C port.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•[Electrical hazards] Electricity is complicated... ⚡
31·1 month agoYeah you’re right, electricity flows at a constant speed. Throughput is the more fitting word I guess? Bandwidth to me sounds more like a theoretical max throughput.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•[Electrical hazards] Electricity is complicated... ⚡
21·1 month agoBasically, amps tell you how fast electricity is moving. If you have a certain amount of amps running through your body, it will kill you (I think technically no matter the voltage?).
Why doesn’t every battery kill you? Electricity at low voltages doesn’t have enough “strength” to push through your body, as your (electrical) ressistance is very high. The higher the voltage, the higher ressistance it can overcome.
So if you touch say 12 V, only very very few microamps will flow through your body, which doesn’t matter.
When you touch 230 V, now the electricity is strong enough to push somewhere between 10 - 100 mA through your body, which will kill you.
(No guarantees that the amperage numbers here are correct, but the scale should roughly work out I hope).It all boils down to $U = R \cdot I$ (Voltage = Ressistance * Current).
If you want to learn more about the subject, ElectroBoom has some great videos.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Recommended mini pc for a homelab?English
3·2 months agoI’ve been running an HP ProDesk 600 G4 mini (i5-8500T, 32 GB RAM) for a few years now and am very happy. I bought it with 8 or 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB M.2 for 140 €. It can fit one 2.5" SATA drive and two M.2 2280 drives. I have it running 24/7/365 with 2x2 TB M.2 SSDs and a 256 GB boot SSD and it usually uses around 7 Watts.
If you want to go the HP route, ProDesk 600 and EliteDesk 800 have two M.2 slots, while the ProDesk 400 only has one.
Alternatively, Lenovo and Dell also have similar formfactor PCs, but I don’t remember their names.
Performance wise, the 8th gen i5 is more than fine for TrueNAS and 10-15 docker containers.
Interesting, why is that? Like what feature is that?
Ah indeed, ALT+S does nothing. I must have pressed both before realizing it was frozen.
On my Terminal that just makes it so I can’t type anymore, I feel like I’m doing something wrong…
My solution to the problem is CTRL+U, type sudo, CTRL+Y.

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•[Help] TV Shows in "Continue watching" sectionEnglish
2·4 months agoI’m pretty sure this setting exists, I believe I stumbled over it not too long ago. Sadly I don’t remember where it was, but I recon if you go through all settings you should find it. It may be in the client settings.
Edit: Ok hm I was thinking of Profile > Next Up and Profile > Libraries. Maybe try messing around with those settings and see if that helps.
If you’re a fan of Windows 7 I can highly recommend aerothemeplasma for the full experience!

Yeah Nextcloud for all learning entites would be huge. We actually have that in Germany for all universities, issue is the vast majority of people don’t even know it exists. And honestly I doubt any of them would even care to use it if they did.
