You can change that in system settings on KDE

System settings -> Software Update -> Apply system updates immediately

Not sure if it's the same on GNOME

Based on the loss of the backwards facing camera on the other front flap, I'm gonna say that one probably looked about the same

The warning signs were there earlier when he pushed a crypto pump and dump on his channel. I'd already pretty much stopped watching his videos after that and then the covid stuff happened. I was also a bit sad to hit unsubscribe.

But thankfully years ago I discovered This Old Tony who scratches a similar itch for me, but better. Much slower uploads, but far higher quality.

It's like talking to an American who keeps asserting they don't have an accent. If they don't get it immediately, they're probably not going to.

It only makes sense to you because you're accustomed to it, not because it's innately better at "gauging human comfort". All of us who grew up using metric know how to gauge comfort with Celsius. None of us bother with decimal fractions of a degree because there isn't a big enough difference between degrees to do so, so your argument about granularity falls apart pretty quick there. You lot don't have trouble with miles despite kilometres being more granular do you?

We're in peak season for them in the southern hemisphere, so it's a bit unusual to see them fruiting in the north. But then I don't know the area, maybe some of them just like to fruit in spring there?

People only seem to know the "guillotining the aristocracy" part, not the "reign of terror" part.

Using some gadgets in a kitchen isn’t science. Science is a process through which you perform research in a way as to eliminate bias. Hoffman doesn’t do science.

Yeah no shit. The point of those "gadgets" (infantilising the equipment doesn't make it any less scientifically relevant) is to objectively measure whether changes in methodology are having an effect. That way you're not relying on a person's taste and inherent bias to tell you if it's making a difference. How is that not science exactly? Honestly, do you even watch Hoffman's content or did you just see a few tasting videos and conclude that it was all nonsense?

None of those things you listed determine how good the coffee will taste. And modifying any one of them might have no effect at all. The only way to know is by doing unbiased taste tests while controlling variables.

That's right, none of the objective data can tell you how it tastes. A change to contact time might have increased extraction by 10%, but how do you know whether that actually tastes good? You have to either taste it yourself, or have someone else taste it and describe it to you. Which is what Hoffman does, with blind tastings, and often with the result of challenging his own preconceptions. I'm curious exactly how you propose to eliminate bias further than that?

So anyway, do you find using three jiggles or four gives the optimal taste when using a plastic V60? I’m dying to know.

Now who's straw manning?

It's hilariously ironic that the example you use is the one guy using actual science. The OG with a caffeine analyser, refractometer, particle size analyser and who will strap temperature and pressure probes to anything and everything to measure how they perform.

If you haven't had the opportunity to try different coffees prepared different ways, then that's unfortunate for you. If you have and you can't taste the differences, maybe that's on you? The only people I've ever met with so little ability to distinguish tastes were smokers.

It's not just a claim. "Hypersonic" ballistics like the Kinzhal are not real hypersonics. It's just a faster ballistic missile because they launch it from a plane. Being ballistic makes it easy to intercept.

When people talk about hypersonics as a future weapon, they are talking about hypersonic glide vehicles. Not an Iskander strapped to a plane.

An OTA update will require accepting new terms of service, but it’s out of signal range so they can’t submit and the car won’t allow itself to be driven.

They'll definitely know. Microsoft's last update for Windows 10 will make sure to add as many notices, popups and scary alerts as possible.

And as a result plenty will care, particularly those who aren't tech savvy. If you've got relatives for whom you are their go-to IT person, be prepared.
