I don't see how running high beams held you see when there is oncoming cars with brighter lights. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that older cars are smaller and lower?
I am not disputing new cars have higher brightness on regular lights, that absolutely is true. Though running high beams throws light both forward and up toward the oncoming drivers eyes.
I don't disagree. There are plenty of led upgrade kits that are way too bright regularly and also probably misaligned causing them to be double bad. Brighter than normal and aimed directly into your eyes.
I'm with you though, driving at night used to be a lot different and more enjoyable than it is today with all these extremely bright lights pointed at your eyes.
There's a load of cars with headlights that are overly bright, but there is an even bigger epidemic of idiots driving around with high beams on as part of regular course.
In the city there is no need for those, ever. Let alone always being on.
When using the above concentrate, I'd go for a roughly 60/40 concentrate to cold water mixture.
I usually fill a 20oz yeti with ice, then add concentrate and water to fill it up.
I start with a 3:1 ratio of water to grounds, maybe 4:1 by the time it mixes. I do mine in a mason jar, so I fill the jar to 500ml with grounds then I fill that up the rest of the way with water. Its a 1.75L jar so I figure about 1500ml water goes in as its mixing up with the grounds.
Let sit for a day in the fridge and stir or shake occasionally.
This makes a good concentrate, which I then mix with water to get the right taste.
AI or "algorithm" upscaling fundamentally creates something out of nothing. That's what upscaling is, so it is generative because its quite literally generating "guesses" at what should be there, pixel by pixel.
Its literally the trope in movies where they're reviewing grainy security can footage and someone says "enhance" and its magically a crystal clear image. Its just that we have technology to do that now.
I'd agree there's a semantics argument that using AI for upscaling is different than creating new, but its just that semantics.
Also different instances hide different communities and so they don't show up at all unless you are a direct subscriber.
I learned about this on my instance when some news communities were hidden, turns out my instance has quite a list of hidden communities, which isn't a bad thing, but it can contribute to the incomplete timeline issue and if you don't know about the hidden communities feature its very hard to diagnose why you're not seeing what you expect to see.
In my case I wasn't subscribed to some of the news communities because I would catch the top posts in /all, which keeps my subscribed feed focused on things I'm actively interested in. So hidden communities are a challenge when you use /all and /subbed in that way.
A case swap without any loss of functionality is pretty substantial. Sure its lots of work to get right back where you started (a working device), but that doesn't mean they did nothing.
The effort to do it so seamlessly is pretty incredible, in my opinion.
The average user will go to join Lemmy and abort, because they can't grasp the idea that joining one server gets them into other servers. They worry about server selection, have analysis paralysis, and nope out. That's why they're asking for a bluesky reddit and not a mastodon reddit.
Normie's want centralization because they don't understand how else it can work and while some can learn and have it explained many will give up before giving it a chance.
Agree. It works well, but in the context of the original meme, not getting updates is a risk to Lemmy api breaking changes breaking the app. There's also a few annoying theming issues with eternity. For a free app its good, but leaves something wanting compared to some of the other apps. Even if it has the better UI.
I enjoy eternity as well, but its also been a while since any updates were published.
I think most places have a senior freeze, so once you qualify it doesn't go up anymore.
