The Level1 Show September 13 2023: If It Bleeds, Patch It

[@thegreatrestart7356]

Level one updates is my favorite show on KZbin

[@JamesMCrutchley]

I watch every episode. It is my favorite news show. The three hosts are what makes it work. Remove any one of them and it would not be the same. All we need now is someone pet in the background for comic relief.

[@StoianAtanasov]

@@JamesMCrutchley They all agree to much, there is no both sides of the story - only viewing everything as depressing news

[@Kyle496]

​@@StoianAtanasov Because essentially everything is going to hell. The corporations run the world, the politicians are all bought and owned by those corporations, and anything that can viewed as "good" usually also lines the pockets of those corporations again.

8:18 yup I saw $40,000 worth of drives, looking to be installed in a new commissioned storage array. The drives were still packaged in the shipping foam. Was something like 8x25 per foam layer, 4 layer high. The numbers may be a bit off; was like 6-12 months ago, so my memory may not be exact

[@tin2001]

10:10 - I've got a 2015 Leaf. Bought it second hand in late 2021. Still going great. My long term plan when it isn't practical even for short shopping trips is to park it in the back yard and hook an inverter up and use it as a house battery... depending on whats available at the time, I might use a commercial solar house battery chassis and controller abd remove the battery from the car, or maybe just some DIY components and leave the battery in the car and keep the car as a lawn ornament (with air-conditioning 😂).

[@xXx_Regulus_xXx]

that's more than 99% of people will do to get the most out of their batteries, kudos

[@jjdawg9918]

7:10 This is the kind of thing the the FTC needs to get a handle on . I cant wait until cars, which are all connected to the internet now, just start having strange and unfix-able problems exactly 1 day after the warranty ends and a suspicious software update the day before. Of course you wont know about the software update because there is no notification or permission request

[@erkinalp]

@jidawg9918 That would be too undeniable. For more deniability, it should have about three months or so of variance.

​@@dertythegrower Open source will survive, but it will never win. Most people will continue to belly up for proprietary abuse just because they are childish and ignorant. Always choose instant gratification and actively refuse to learn anything useful. I'm not fundamentally against all proprietary widgets, but I do insist on a contract that doesn't set me up to be screwed over. I'm not in the majority though; a huge fraction of the people I've met simply can't see beyond the end of their nose. (Which of course is why politicians have had fairly steady and lucrative jobs for all of civilization "leading" these people around.)

[@tin2001]

7:20 - There should be a law that when a software product comes ro end of life, or the vendor enters administration, the vendor is required to open source anything that is the minimum required for their old products to continue operating... activation servers, firmware, etc. Not necessarily the entire code, but for example, for Windows XP, they would have to publish an open source server that activates the product. Or in the case of the VR glasses in this video, a server that responds how the glasses expect so they keep functioning.... Ideally theyd publish uodates to the products that strip out the phone home stuff, but an official fake responder would suffice.

This Google Play Movies & TV story is EXACTLY what I've been expecting and is why I've been buying DVDs for everything instead. I do NOT trust Google or any other streaming service anymore and I called this long before they got rid of Google Play Music.

[@xXx_Regulus_xXx]

streaming was always going to go this way, there's no benefit to the provider besides control or they would just let you download the files normally. even if every company intended to keep all of their media available to customers from now until the end of time it wouldn't be feasible. streaming is not good for archiving.

[@Technopath47]

@@xXx_Regulus_xXx Well put. My only real regret is putting money into Google Play Movies & TV in the first place instead of just buying everything on DVDs. I'm going to have to make a list of all my titles on Google to buy on DVD and never again. At least with DVDs I can maintain my own infrastructure (private Jellyfin server) and be in total control over it. At this point, if it doesn't get released on a disk I'm not buying it.

[@ibrahemjoud1851]

Hey, I'm from near Hammonton, NJ. They claim to be the blueberry capital of the world. Our soil is very sandy. They try to keep the pH around 5 for blueberries. I work at a Christmas tree farm and spoke at length with a blueberry farmer while cutting his Christmas tree. Hope that helps.

[@LackofFaithify]

Supermicro ain't afraid of no Zenbleed! Well, rather, they don't give a damn if you have one of their boards with it despite their press release. They haven't put out BIOS updates for Epyc Rome boards since 2021, they're not going to now. Still far better treatment than they gave their Epyc 3000 boards. Those things were like a back alley....neglected. They were completely neglected the second they were made.

[@NPzed]

@@LackofFaithifyThanks! That's unfortunate! Kind of makes the big 3 (HP, Dell, Lenovo) look good with regular updates while under support (usually 3 ish years) except the whole vendor lock-in and proprietary designs and connectors which makes DIY/homelab/off-label uses a lot more difficult and/or expensive.

Blueberries like pH 4.5-5.5, but it is more because of they need high iron availiblity, and they like urea and ammonium nitrogen sources more than nitrate(very low pH slows the bacteria that convert ammonium to nitrate). They will tolerate pH6.0

Nintendo's 3DS has glasses-free 3D, and the upgraded "New" 3DS has tracking for correcting the 3D effect from off-angle viewing. "New" 3DS works leaps better than the original. It's neat but not sure how large a display I'd want with that tech.

[@RobertJBareIII]

This is a step up from other links with friends shows on KZbin.

[@DespoBryant]

Hot take, the chrome download swap has been the chrome straw that pushed me back to the fox

[@dgo4490]

How does this monitor exactly do stereoscopic without glasses? It requires that the eyes see the image from a slightly different angle. Tracking your eyes can only bind your slight head motion to the angle of the viewport, so if slightly you move your head around the camera will slightly move in the viewport and allow you to look around THROUGH the display frame, BUT it will NOT be a stereoscopic 3d image as both eyes perceive the same image, nor will you be able to use your own eye focus, as that requires way higher precision eye trackers glued onto your face. Obviously, this works for one user only, and doesn't seem to bring in a lot of value, every CAD software makes it trivial to rotate the view around the selected item, rather than having to move your head around from your optimal position. A cool gimmick that adds +1 to the reasons to willfully submit to constant observation.

[@WhatTheFrogDoing]

Somewhat similar to what Wendell asked about, in the Berserker series by Fred Saberhagen the Berserkers are sentient spacecraft who manipulate humans into doing all sorts of terrible things to each other.

"AI corrupting well meaning people into destroying the world" - that's know as a "Ring Of Power". I think LOTR was so successful because it is a pretty decent metaphor for the world we live in. Of course, the actual rings of power are not personal jewelry, but "circles of power", within circles of power, within circles of power, and the invisible underground root of those rings of rings of rings of power is basically pure abstract evil, and everyone on that tree of power is practically bound to serving the root cause, in the belief to be acting in their personal interest.

Scientology is closely tied with Satanism. Look into Hubbard's connection with Anton Lavey, Jack Parsons, and NASA. They had a "frat house" together where they did crazy "sex magic". A very weird bunch.

There was a commenter on Louis Rossmann's video about that topic that was arguing with everyone that it's totally not an ohm-meter because it doesn't show you the ohms. It was obvious they were a Scientologist trying to defend the scam... and also obvious they were a low level Scientologist because the high level ones would stay quiet.
