If you dont like leaving your main video player, IINA on mac is scriptable, so I just use shortcut keys to send start/end indicators to a script which runs ffmpeg on the timestamps.

Im sure other video players like VLC support this, but I found VLC's apis very lacking.

mpv has plugins for this like https://github.com/serenae-fansubs/mpv-webm

"pretty obscure to configure every equipment I have at home"

HA actually makes configuring every piece of equipment and integrating them easy. If I have only 1 thing to control, then yeah, it's probably overkill.

I'd say the majority of people don't know how to install an OS on a device and having the ability to run Chrome on what is likely e-waste is a good thing.

I applaud the efforts of people/groups like MrChromeBox who figure out how to flash linux onto Chromebooks. There are great designs like the Samsung Galaxy book in red with Amoled display (thin metal body) unfortunately it only has 8GB of ram.

Bad news. It's physical trackpad. https://youtu.be/mBkYho_4CSg?t=226

I can't go back, now that I've discovered the joys of "tap to click". But I doubt most new Mac users would notice.

I really dislike "tap to click" for some reason. I like the feedback of actually pressing it.

A physical trackpad can also do 'tap to click'.

Really? Terrific.

I used a base M1 air for my primary personal laptop for 5 years. It was fine with VS code and any development work sans running containers.

OP has a valid point. On my Mac, it's unreadable without zooming in. I immediately left the page.

Thanks for the valuable feedback. I've added a mediaquery for your use case. This should be more legible now: https://lukeb42.github.io/vertex-manual.html

Send me a screenshot via https://catbox.moe if it's unreadable and I'll get this done and dusted before leaving the thread. Thanks.

All you need is a solar charge controller and a battery, and optionally an inverter.

You dont need a company to do this for you, unless you want pay $$ to connect wires.

Close. It means there's no persistent infra charges and you're charged on use. You dont run anything permanently.

It still doesn't capture the concept because, say, both AWS Lambda and EC2 can be run just for 5 minutes and only one of them is called serverless.

Unless the engineer takes steps to spin down EC2 infrastructure after execution, it is absolutely persistent compute that you're billed for whether you are doing actual processing or not. Whereas lambda and other services are billed only for execution time.

Drywall is pretty amazing, but I don't agree with all the points in the article.

It cheap to buy and cheap to install, easy to cut and installs fast. It's tolerant with imperfect walls and is surprisingly flexible. It can also be seamlessly repaired.

It can also act as a primary air barrier.

I do not like moisture resistant drywall, moisture control is more important as well as using proper materials in high humidity areas.

Because drywall is cheap, incredibly tolerant of movement and irregularities. It's also super easy to repair. It can also act as an air barrier for energy efficiency. A drop ceiling is terrible for that and is ugly AND expensive.
