VLC tops 6 billion downloads, previews AI-generated subtitles in c/[email protected]

[–] Landless2029 4 points 1 day ago

I also use FUTO and it's great. But subtitles in a video are quite different than you clearly speaking into a microphone. Even just loud music will mess with a good Speech-to-text engine let alone [Explosions] and [Fighting Noises]. At the least I hope it does pick up speech well.

The worse part is having the gear and STILL not learning/playing with it.

I got stuff to start [email protected] like an old i5 minipc and even a 64gb i7 pro series laptop...

Theyre just sitting unplugged with mint on them.

Oh man there was an entire south park episode about this...

Even triggering arguments to build up hype on socials. Can't find the episode, but it mentioned arguing or disagreeing with someone while aiming for a 3rd person to jump in overreacting and it spreads.

Edit: found it

Season 20 finale, 2010, featuring Elon musk...

It's a way in which one person can create a massive reaction on the Internet. Look, person A trolls person B, but it's not about person B, the troll is trying to push buttons to try and get a reaction from hundreds, eventually creating person C, whose overreaction and self righteousness will elicit a reaction from persons D through F, who weren't trolls but can't help rip on person C.

I saw that episode too. It was wild watching him dig up clay, make a wood frame, fire them and stack them.

Oddly soothing.

I've worked remotely for years. With the "raise hand" options its usually a very "talking pillow" type of taking turns.

Rarely there's back and forth but it's clear when someone talks over another and you can thankfully mute people.

Yep

It also supports ripping playlists. Fantastic to archive a set locally...

Agreed. I've read the light novels before it became a graphic novel. Long time fan.

Straight up banger of an episode. Fantastic adaptation. Great storytelling.

I especially appreciate the fact that they nearly mirrored several scenes from the manwha. Like the bear headshot and the shush coat among others. Even the school bit was well done.

Sure I wish they didn't skip a few things but stuff always gets cut off when adapted. They also added just a touch of new angles but nothing like the crap in season 1.

Yeah but this is issue is also why isekai is so damn rampant. As an author it's a bit of a cheat to have your MC not know anything so obviously they get things told to them instead of doing more subtle world building.

My favorite example of world building is the John Wick movie. First one. Nothing is outright explained. It's shown and you understand. Those gold coins especially.

PayPal implements default data sharing with third parties: users must manually opt out (www.techradar.com)

Depending on where you're based, you'll find PayPal's new data-sharing option under a different name. Remember, you may not see this at all if you're based in a country that doesn't allow it.

If you're in the US, you should head to your profile Settings and tap on Data & privacy. Under Manage shared info, click on Personalized shopping. You should see the option enabled by default. Toggle off the button at the right to opt-out.

If you are in the UK like me, you'll see something different after you head to your profile Settings and tap on Data & privacy.

Under Manage your privacy settings, here you'll see an Interest-based marketing tab – click on it. At this point, two options will appear: Interest-based marketing on PayPal and Internet-based marketing on your accounts. You have to tap on each of these and toggle off the button at the right to opt-out. These instructions can also apply if you're based in the EU.

Is it just me, or is it hard to follow Manhua? (manganato.com)

So I bumped into a new series while going down the rabbit hole with no description. Cover art and title was interesting so I read a few.

Standard setup and back story. Might be interesting to see if anything unique stands out...

Then it kept jumping forward. The story progressed way too fast.

I realized it was a manhua.

I don't know why but there's always so much happening so fast it's hard for me to digest it all that I end up dropping it.

What are your thoughts?

Other manhua I've dropped:

Versatile Mage
My Wife is a Demon Queen
Monster Pet Evolution

Cheap and safe streaming stick? (self.privacy)

Apologies if this is the wrong instance for this.

Is there a best option for HTPC streaming solutions besides throwing Linux on an old desktop? Plugging in a desktop for streaming doesn't work too well for wall mounted televisions. My options are mini PCs or a 3rd party streaming stick. Even a RasPi stick running OSMC should do the trick.

These 3rd party sticks online are extremely tempting for power and features but I'm concerned about embedded malware. Best option would be to wipe it and load OSMCor raspbian to ensure its clean. Anyone have experience with this?

Care to share your setup?

$14.41 | DQ06 ATV Mini TV Stick Android12 Allwinner H618 Quad Core Cortex A53 Support 8K Video 4K Wifi6 BT Voice Remote Smart TV Box | Link

Runner up: $12.90 | Orange Pi Zero 2 W 1GB RAM DDR4 Mini PC Allwinner H618 Orange Pi Zero 2W WiFi Bluetooth SBC Single Board Computer Zero2W | Link

Update: My ideal solution would be $20-$50 for a replacement to several fire sticks in my home. For a solution around $100 I'd just go with a old refurbished mini pc from ebay/amazon and throw full Linux on it.

Setting up Kodi via the linux OSMC distro or even Android TV both work. Might stream games with steam link. Eventually going to setup jellyfin in my home

Current Plan: Get a mini pc and mount it behind / near my television. Ideally I would prefer just a stick for a cleaner / cheaper solution.

My DM gave us a pass and I feel disappointed (self.dnd)

So I'm a long time fan and playing my first campaign. First big quest and we're in a fortress.

Pretty spent after an encounter and some traps. We see a sleeping BBEG in the way of our finish.

Cast pass without a trace to sneak past. Fighter in heavy rolls a nat 1 on his disadvantage.

So it's 1 + 1 dex +10 pass without a trace = 12

BBEG passive perception is 10. We sneak past.

WTH? I mean sure my PC is happy but I feel somehow disappointed in our DM giving us a pass.

I've DMd before and would've definitely woken up the boss.

I feel like DM gave us the pass cause it could've been a TPK.

Thoughts?

Edit:

Thank you everyone for your thoughts.

I was caught up in the homebrew rule of auto fail nat1s that is NOT in the PHB.

Rules as written we earned that easy win by taking advantage of the bosses low perception and spending a spell slot on pass without a trace.
