I wrote red soil, but more specifically, where I lived there was Terra Roxa (purple soil?), which seems to be a kind of red soil according to the English Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_roxa

And it is the prevalent soil on the north of the state of Paraná, regarded as Brazil's agricultural barn: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paran%C3%A1_(state)

So it does confuse me that the state's soil would be unfertile, as I grew up learning how good it was and surrounded by prosperous farms.

The Portuguese Wikipedia page does talk about it being fertile (no English translation): https://pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_roxa

So maybe it isn't a type of red soil in the end; or there are some types of red soil that are (very) fertile.

Brazilian here. Perfectly safe (color-wise; of course it can be polluted as hell despite its color, just like any other river).

Our ground/mud has a different color. Some areas on the south even have a red soil (very fertile, but makes everything about ground level look dirty very quickly): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_soil

There's great variety of water colors even in the same area, just search for images "meeting of the waters Manaus":

confluence between the Black river of black water and the Solimões river of muddy water, where the waters of the two rivers run side by side without mixing

I couldn't get a good understanding if AI will only be used for Frame Generation (which I'm not so enthusiastic about, with its latency and quality issues) or for upscaling too (that I'm quite a fan of).

Probably good to add a /s somewhere here.

I suspect people are down voting without checking the piece.

I know I would, but I saw it shared on Mastodon in a cheeky way first.

If you're interested in Lineage, just check their device page and filter for set top box:

Made me think this was the good news community.

I had it initially setup to run on Wi-Fi too, battery or charging.

Then I had my battery drain to 30-40% during afternoons, when I'm used to reaching evenings above 60%. Check app usage on settings: Syncthing.

Since I use it mostly for backing up photos, I found it better to enable it only when charging.

Syncthing.

Just configure it to only run while plugged to the wall, so you're not surprised by the rare bug of it randomly turning your phone into a pocket warmer.

That is great news!

Now I might be able to uninstall Google Drive from my phone.

The original post is 2 months old.

What's the point of reposting it? Better to post something like:

Don't use a non-private email, or an email linked to your real identity as your recovery email, because, like other things that Proton needs to have access to (such as recipients and email subjects), it can be shared with law enforcement.

People, shall we read the full article first?

Meanwhile, this is not the case with the Ryzen 9000 series desktop parts as the spec sheet of that says:

OS Support

Windows 11 - 64-Bit Edition , Windows 10 - 64-Bit Edition , RHEL x86 64-Bit , Ubuntu x86 64-Bit

So the new Ryzen AI chips that most people don't care about won't support Win 10, but Ryzen 9000 (the real deal desktop chips) will.

To be frank, the article title is misleading at best.

 

Just a guide on how I got MariaDB working instead of SQLite for my PhotoPrism instance running on a FreeBSD jail.

Technological feat aside:

Revolutionary heat dissipating coating effectively reduces temperatures by more than 10%

78.5C -> 70C = (78.5 - 70) / 78.5 = 0.1082 = 10% right?!

Well, not really. Celsius is an arbitrary temperature scale. The same values on Kelvin would be:

351.65K -> 343.15K = (351.65 - 343.15) / 351.65 = 0.0241 = 2% (???)

So that's why you shouldn't do % on temp changes. A more entertaining version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhkYcO1VxOk&t=374s
