I mean, it basically is an anbernic you have to buy cartridges for. Bit more polish in the UI. Emulator licenses are actually respected. But at the end of the day, it's a portable emulator box built with low-end ARM SoCs. Appeals to people who like to collect physical objects

I don't think there's any general expectation that links on the web represent the original title of the page. That has just been convention on search engines specifically. The book analogy is bad. I just don't think it's a bad analogy because the book example is kosher behavior.

Lee v. ART Co turned specifically on the idea that mounting a piece of art on a tile doesn't actually change the thing being mounted and therefore is not a derivative work at all. Swapping out the cover is qualitatively different. You are literally removing a part of the book and replacing it

Replacing covers of books or "remixing" them by ripping them up and gluing them together sounds like creation of a derivative work to me. That is one of the rights included under copyright. First sale doctrine only exhausts distribution rights, not others. Might be fair use depending on the details

With normal retail investing it's pretty hard to go to zero, but if you're a true degenerate you're doing options trading and with that you can lose more than 100% of your money

Ridership recovery by route comparing January 2019 vs January 2026. Oakland & Alameda + Alameda Seaplane is slightly ahead of the old Oakland & Alameda route, Richmond is doing much better than 2019 (though it started not long before the pandemic), Vallejo, Harbor Bay and South San Francisco are all doing worse than 2019

SF Bay Ferry ridership by month graphed with lines for each fiscal year starting with 2019. FY 2026 is still below FY 2019 overall, but December and January were above 2019 levels.

ok, had to dig around in the board meeting packets and I still couldn't find complete fiscal year 2025 numbers, but at least the January numbers make a more compelling case for Berkeley than I expected

They've had months with more than 100%, but the most recent press release says 95% over the past 12 months. Still a lot better than BART, but they've also added new lines over that timeframe. Would be interesting to see Oakland and Richmond lines specifically, but can't find those numbers

Their most recent ridership forecasts were based on data from 2019 (in other words, pre-pandemic) so I suspect they are even more overoptimistic than is typical for a new transit project. Made more sense when BART regularly had crush loads and AC Transit transbay lines were also pretty full

Yeah, not sure about before 2028 (depends a lot on what happens in the midterms), but I think the odds he's out before 2027 for a non-death reason are basically 0. I guess maybe if he has an incredibly disabling, but non-fatal health issue it could happen. Seems unlikely though.

Seems like it exists kalshi.com/markets/kxtr...

Probably will handle it the same as that one covering the Iranian Supreme Leader if he dies though (i.e. payout at last odds before death rather than resolving to an outcome)

2-part epoxy has generally served me well for gluing plastic. Plastic weld would be cleaner, but very dependent on the specific plastic type

And if the short range is a deal breaker, used Chevy Bolts are also pretty cheap. Many have batteries newer than their age would suggest due to the battery recall. DC fast charging is slow by modern standards, but long road trips are still very doable with a little planning. Love my 2017 Bolt

Unlike the solar credit, there's a pretty small cap ($2K) so it wasn't covering a huge portion of the product cost, but still very irritating

To add insult to injury, the only requirements it doesn't meet are related to cold-weather performance (heating efficiency and capacity factor at 5° F), which is basically irrelevant for where I live

Working on my taxes today and just realized that despite what my installer had claimed during the quote, my heat pump probably doesn't actually qualify for the federal tax credit because it falls slightly short of a couple of the efficiency requirements.

Using node by itself wouldn't be so bad, but using react for a TUI feels so wrong. I don't love it for the web, but I at least understand the appeal on some level. For something like Claude Code it's just baffling to me.

MiniDisc has the advantage of looking very cool. Hi-MD can store a whole GB which is enough even for uncompressed PCM

Mir was pretty big, had some coed crews and featured some pretty long missions. So seems possible it happened before ISS.

FWIW, at least on Android I was able to upload a full-res image. I know we do some client-side format conversion on mobile since our desktop clients generally can't display HEIC/HEIF images. Possible resizing occurs in some cases, but not sure. Haven't heard of any recent changes there though

Hmm, I did a quick test with a 4624x3472 JPEG and it seemed to round-trip more or less unscathed. Some EXIF data was stripped, but that's intentional to avoid privacy leaks (and has been present for a long time). The in-app view is downscaled, but that's always been the case AFAIK

My maternal grandfather was a domestic missionary when my mother and her siblings were born and then worked at a bottle cap printing press. My maternal grandfather lived further away and died when I was young so I didn't know him well, but he ran a restaurant with my uncle before he retired

In a sense, but probably not the way you're thinking. All digital cameras do a certain amount of image processing on the raw sensor data. Smartphone cameras do a lot of it and modern ones do use ML-based processing. This tends to have funny results for small text

My city claims that shutting a brand new bike lane for 2.5 years and dumping riders onto a high volume street is fine but also “cyclist safety remains non-negotiable”.

Yeah, I can't find datasheets for the TI chips used in the 100, but the service manual notes that game values are represented as analog voltages. Even more obvious on the original Odyssey schematic. Not nearly enough transistors for it to be digital. Pong schematic uses a lot of digital logic gates
