My low level is a tad rusty from when I learned the C side in school, but if I recall the not operator resolves as a single Boolean (0 or 1 in true C), whereas compliment comes back as however many bits you put in - a not operation per bit.

In C, the not operator is ! and the compliment operator is ~

Only if you're using a sign bit rather than two's compliment (a sign bit allows for two representations of 0)

Sadly the so-called "smart TV" is becoming the norm. Companies add unnecessary crap to TVs that's often as slow as your car's factory infotainment system, and when they feel like not upgrading the software anymore for security issues in a few years, it's a permanent security hazard until you disconnect it from the network.

I have a Vizio TV from several years ago with Yahoo branded smart functions (that should date it) that I need to factory reset because I can't find the WiFi password erase.

So this is the choose your own ending in the comments section from last week. I can follow the plot line of the RIAA sueing for copyright on the whistling song, but there's a lot more else going on here I haven't sorted yet.

Link back to last week in the description.

If the question needed to be asked, maybe the answer wasn't obvious to them.

I dunno, I know it was a thing on Reddit, I don't think I've ever seen it over here. Maybe Google bonked them.

I'm no weather expert, but because you've got a regular pattern around the radar (the circle) that really shouldn't appear in a normal weather condition, the beam may be getting grounded due to local conditions - see beam ducting.

The lil notch on the right is looks like it might be showing incomplete, conflicting, or out of bounds data. The site's map legend may have a decoder for that pattern.

Or it could be the apocalypse, who am I to judge /j

Biblically accurate roadrunner wasn't on the list of things I was expecting to see today

Looks like the video/image got over compressed or over enhanced. There's probably not enough data in that file to reconstruct what happened here.

Linear or AI interpolation may make the image appear clearer, but it's at the cost of creating new data that wasn't already present.
