It’s shocking how little resolution plays into quality. I’ve re-encoded some videos down to 480 and played them on a 65" TV and they look fine.
I can also make videos look terrible by just trying to save space by reducing the quality level of the conversion while retaining high resolution (1080).
And according to the Bureau of Labor (and some other sources) the median hourly wage in the US for non-supervisory (eg non-exempt) workers is around $34/hr.
The average (mean) is $36.67.
Of course these are heavily influenced by high COL areas, but if you lookup distributions, most people fall in the $24-$35 area of the curve, with only the 10th percentile making under $15. That suggests there aren’t many jobs paying that kind of money (or the distribution would look different), and that 90% of jobs pay above $15, with 80% paying above $20.
Planned obsolence via shoehorning crap connected tech into things that can run fine with controls from 1947 that will last 50+ years and are easily replaced with commodity components (relays) at any time.
Just search, and run across other recipes in links of current ones.
There are certain cooks who I’ll check occasionally (chef John at foodwishes.com, Nick Stellino).
I also have some cookbooks: the cooking bibles (Joy of Cooking, Gourmet). America’s Test Kitchen cookbook for standards to start from.
Otherwise I do a search and see the person’s actual site. If there’s AI generated crap, I just never go back.
The problem is they are almost never good, as everyone can read the same info 4x faster than someone can present it (best case), and 10x faster isn’t unusual.
Source: Former technical trainer - I’ve read a lot about instructional methodologies. Video is the lowest common denominator that’s all. It can be useful for things that have a visual component, and self hosting has very little of that.
Seems there are 2 kinds - video links with almost no text, just farming visits, and video links with a wall of text.
Both suck. Videos, in general, suck.
So much of what goes on here needs text, lots of it. Video is slow and cumbersome.
Don’t give them so much credit.
They know.
Give me your debit card pin.
And we’re already starting to see negative consequences.
How about you fully test a drug before throwing it out in the world and then blaming patients for “not knowing how it works, so you should’ve used it differently”.
Over the next 20 years we’ll see all the risks come to light before it then gets pulled.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
And quickly realizing they could be used for more.
I want to know how they built that water tank on the sand dune. Is there bedrock not too far down?
And this is part of why I root.
Only certain apps get network access, and only certain apps get to use Google services.
They’ll complain, some won’t work.
Next phone won’t have Google services at all, and untrustworthy apps will be sandboxed in their own profiles.
Like, turn off the iPad or iPhone?
Agreed.

1 bedroom? Look at Mr Fancypants over here!
Thats an efficiency my friend. Garden-level even!
So, “green” energy is only cheaper if the government pays for it?
Not really a great argument.
Define share?
Keep all files in sync between two points?
Enable ad-hoc access to all files, or a subset?
Makes me wonder if she knew from the start and went along for the opportunity.
I’ve had better luck using MKV for my Samsung TV.
But yea, Mp4 is generally more compatible.
