This is so turbing.

That's so new! My stuff still requires version 1.8

Yeah, the yellow link above that is more likely due to that, the shape is also a bit unusual.
But that's why the link preview text exist.

thx.

  • Belarus (2015; gas, nuclear)
  • Belgium (2016; green, gas, nuclear)
  • Austria (2020; green, bit of gas)
  • Sweden (2020; green, nuclear)
  • Portugal (2021; green, gas)
  • UK (2024; green, gas)
  • Slovakia (2024; nuclear, green, gas)
  • Ireland (2025; green gas)

Most of the nations seem to use renewables and use gas to balance the load spikes. Few have the storage to get by without a source of balancing, nuclear is a common supplement but shouldn't be capable of balancing since it's so slow.

Some use so much gas it's probably not just for balancing, namely the uk.

Sweden is probably using hydro to balance, they don't seem to have any storage but also don't use gas.

I would discard Slovakia. They still have installed coal capacity, and import significantly from poland which is mainly on coal.

would be interesting to see the respective major power sources

Name the prime a "none", the octave a sept.
Now, 2 "septaves", c1 to c3, are a 14th. 2*7 = 14.

You can make off-by-one intervals work, but you have to constantly juggle some +1s or -1s compared to what we usually use.

If you counted distance in steps, then moving from your front door to your front door would be 0 steps, not one, and moving by 6 steps is twice the distance of 3 steps.

A piano with 5 septaves has 5*7 = 60 keys, wait.

So anyway mathematically one dodecave, one 12th, c1 to c2, has 12 segments, the frequency diffefence is 2. So a second, 2 notes, has 2/12 of that interval, the ratio is 2^2/12^.
A first, a halftone, has 2^1/12^ as its frequency ratio, and a none has 2^0/12^ = 1, the same frequency.

No matter if you count physical keys, distance on a keyboard to change a note by, or mathematical frequency in the air, starting at 1 goes against our intuition, and when you try to add or multiply it is easy to get completely wrong results.

PS: You might want to go C to C on your 5 dodecave keyboard, in which case the concept of "started hour" etc. is familiar, you know to add one arriving at 61 keys, and you know that means an assymetry where one C doesn't have 11 other keys to itself.
The other way around you'd have to subtract 4, so probably subtract 5 and add 1 since you were dealing with 5 tredecaves in your head not 1 base tredecave followed by 4 extension tredecaves.

Can't you just replace the entire game folder?
Running a verify and repeating the action would even show how many files were changed.

In the basic case you go to settings and change permissions.

In the more typical case for os modifications, you go to that tab, open advanced properties, change the owner account by typing in "everyone" or your account name by hand, saving, closing reopening the advanced security settings, probably disable inheritance then create a new permission entry.

In the most extreme case, where you change files belonging to something critical like windows defender or edge, you can't.
The only way I am aware of is booting into an older windows install iso, or a live linux iso, then performing the modifications there.

Disclaimer: I have not done this on windows 11 yet, but I can't imagine the process got simplified.

Windows has a lot of systems that allow some more complicated modifications. Those are often unnecessarily obfuscated, the registry for example doesn't have to be a weird custom database, it could have been part of the filesystem or at least a more standard database format. Windows will sometimes bite you with weird sketchy systems breaking expectations, and this tends to become inevitable when you try to change stuff Microsoft has decided to remove consumer choice on.
If Edge and the account push were as easy to avoid as learning how to take basic file ownership, we might not be where we are now (i.e. on Linux).

I'm not certain, can't find any reliable info on this.
Shops don't seem to specify the reflective material. In addition, aluminium is commonly used to describe the frame, and silver as a color for the frame or other parts, making it hard to get any info on the sales side.

On the production-tech side, I see some pages talk only about silver, others mention both silver and aluminium. Silver commonly has a description of the chemical process at times (silver nitrate silvering), haven't seen one for aluminium yet.

Price wise, metal should be fully opaque around 10nm. Assuming a generous 100nm thickness, that makes 0.1€/m² worth of silver. I doubt material cost is a factor.

Performance wise, silver seems better than aluminium in its reflectance. Honestly I don't get why anyone would be making aluminium mirrors.

Does anyone have more info on this?

 

Occasionally I refresh and clear read posts only to see a couple posts I just looked at a short while before not marked as read. On opening them again the event log indeed shows a duplicate action for marking the posts read.

Anecdotally this seems to happen for a handfull of posts at once, and I notice it every few days, usually with posts I looked at towards the end of my browsing session. Sometimes a few minutes pass before reloading and finding the post, so I doubt it is some race condition.

I have observed this for a few months now.

Could this be an app issue or is it an issue with my instance?

Has anyone else experienced this?

On Tuesday, the official account for the visa branch of the US Embassy in Tokyo posted an important note for those applying for a nonimmigrant visa — or DS-160 — for the States. According to the notice, applications must include accurate information regarding their SNS accounts that they have used within the last five years. Anyone who fails to comply with this request won’t be allowed to enter the country.

While the US Department of State (DOS) and the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have been checking the social media accounts of visa applicants and immigrants since at least 2019, Susanne Heubel, senior counsel at New York-based immigration law firm Harter Secrest & Emery LLP, told US Today that up until his last January these searches have been “almost negligible.”

I have been playing around with pwa-like experiences, and as part of that I tested "kiosk mode".

For those who don't know, you can start a "kiosk window" with the command firefox -kiosk --new-window <url>, which will open that url in fullscreen without a titlebar, right click menu, any overlays like the link preview or loading text, ...
I cancelled the fullscreen flag of my window, and had a resizable fully functional website in a frameless window.

Which was great and all, until I realized that in my running profile now every newly opened window is also in kiosk mode, and right click was globally disabled. My running firefox instance has been infected by the kiosk disease.

Anyway, it's not a large issue, I can just restart my infected instance. But I hate restarting my browser, it usually runs for multiple months.

My question is, is it possible to leave kiosk mode without restarting firefox?

 

I updated my firefox from 119.0.1 to 121.0 two days ago, and have noticed a for my usage quite significant change:
When I have a page, say a search engine query or a gallery of links on a page, and I open one then go back, previously I got the cached version. Within reason of the cache size I could go back a few pages even days later and critically see them as they where, just like I would expect for a tab I have open.

I use this behavior to work through essentially todo lists, so now that the lists get reloaded every time I visit them, this combines with server side caching to make the list jump around quite annoyingly.
My expected behavior would be the cached back history being served when available, except when I manually hit F5.

Was this change intentional? Is there any way to get the old behavior back?

Edit:
It seems to be a bug and only happen on some profiles, potentially dependent on some metric related to heavy use, like number of open tabs and windows.
Edit:
It seems to be related to uBlock Origin.
Edit:
It is definitely an issue within ubo, I will add a link to the issue there when I create it.
Edit:
It seems to be caused by the "AdGuard Tracking Protection" filter list within ubo.
Edit: issues:
ubo filters: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/21841
AdguardFilters: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/170172
Edit:
It was fixed a few minutes ago, the changes should percolate through to ubo soon™. Thx Yuki2718.
