I see the sausage vendor is in town this week!

Shotgun: 12 gauge shells with 00 gauge (aka buck) shot size (smaller number is bigger) is the single most accessible shotgun shell in the states.

It’s also the most useful for home defense. Range is about 20-50 yards, maybe more if you change the choke out of your shotgun. The choke is a small metal tube that screws in on the business end of the barrel and adjusts the spread of the pellets. “Full choke” is the narrowest and “open choke” has the widest spread.

Ask your local gun shop for more info if seeking to purchase a home defense option.

If both h264 and hevc are stuttering using hardware decoding, something might be wrong. Try setting up Apollo or sunshine on your remote PC, and add Moonlight to your deck using the desktop App Store.

There are lots of guides online for how to install Moonlight and add it to your deck’s games list.

If that works smoothly with hardware decoding, then the problem is with remote play.

I wrote out the rest of this before rereading your post and want to put it out there for others:

If you’re having issues with hevc, switch back to h264.

Hevc is more computationally complex to encode/decode, so if you’re trying to do either with software, then it would be better to use the less compressed h264.

Network congestion over WiFi, as you pointed out, is often also a culprit.

What is your domicile like? An apartment with lots of nearby apartments? Freestanding house? WiFi congestion gets worse with more people using it.

If you have a dock, plug in an Ethernet cable to the dock and try streaming that way. Does it mitigate your stutter?

If so, turn down the bandwidth as much as you can and check (e.g 720p at 30 fps).

If it is that, buying a higher quality wifi access point may help.

Aside from the fact that the best drivers are closed source, NVIDIA is killing it on Linux these days.

Talk about double-fisting…

Aside from the tropes that were the major plot arc, I found Picard to be an enjoyable watch.

What else are people hating on it for?

“Law and order” = “rules for thee and not for me”

Huh? Since when does handbrake not support GPU encoding? I know it usually supports the Nvidia encoding backend for mkv…

This is nearly copypasta worthy

I’ve been running a personal server for years. Buy the lifetime pass now if you host a server. It’s so easy.

There’s also Jellyfin for those who despise spending money and prefer to control access in their own way.

Front-facing radar is the bare minimum needed to pass the test given (fake-road wall). Many vehicles use it for adaptive cruise control, and radar is even faster than either cameras or lidar for figuring out the range to an object. 1000 Hz measuring distance to an object is enough to find both the relative velocity and the acceleration of another object. This provides enough time to apply the brakes safely when approaching a vehicle or obstacle

LIDAR is even better, and also more compute intensive and expensive to install.

I think Tesla was very short-sighted in removing radar sensors, certainly. If they hadn’t, they could’ve spent more of their energy on making the FSD cars better instead of just making them sufficiently safe with insufficient sensors

Because Ukraine has effectively no negotiating power in this war without US support. They rely very heavily on the armaments provided by the United States over the last few years. If that support were to stop, the war would be over tomorrow, and Zelensky has said as much already.

I still think you’re right that the Ukraine should be the ones doing the negotiations though.
