I don't know who needs to hear this but if you're in the market for a desktop camera with 1080p video, mic & Windows Hello facial recognition authentication, check this out.
(Also has an automatic shutter which physically blocks the lens when you're not using it. $55.)

A Cool Earth-sized Planet Candidate Transiting a Tenth Magnitude K-dwarf From K2
The transit method is currently one of our best means for the detection of potentially habitable "Earth-like" exoplanets. In principle, given sufficiently high photometric precision, cool Earth-sized exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars could be discovered via single transit detections; however, this has not previously been achieved. In this work, we report a 10-hour long single transit event which occurred on the $V=10.1$ K-dwarf HD 137010 during K2 Campaign 15 in 2017. The transit is comparativ…

Does anyone have comments on 12TB external USB drives? Looking to add something to my home server as a backup. How reliable are they? Critical stuff backed to cloud as well, but I have lots of 'stuff' I would feel better having a 2nd local copy of. (3-2-1 rule) Given my first HD as uh, 5MB, the idea of a 12TB drive is mind boggling.

Only using a CRT and playing from VHS gives you the rich analog sound and picture that the filmmakers intended.
I’m hearing and seeing so many details that get lost in the digital harshness of Ultra HD Blu-ray.

Hš vinte anos atršs, eu achava que 480p era uma resolução ótima para vídeos e que somente filmes muito específicos (com fotografia excepcional) justificavam o uso de resolução de 720p, que ocupava muito espaço no HD/CD. Mas agora hš pouco estava assistindo um videoclip da Loreena McKennitt em resolução 480p na minha TV de 42 polegadas e mal conseguia distinguir as imagens.
Em parte isso é porque nossos cérebros ficaram muito acostumado a imagens em alta resolução. Mas, principalmente, c…

We've been playing around with stream settings for the past week. Here are the best settings we've tested for streaming #LOTRO and other games from #Linux. They should work well on Windows as well. Remember, if you're on Nvidia, replace the "VAAPI" with "HVENC".

If you are, like me, obsessed with the history of space flight, you cannot do better than Homemade Documentaries. I watched this week's ISS documentary on Nova. It was trash. Meanwhile the HD video on Apollo 17 or on the Gemini program are just epic. So well made. Why can't PBS be any good anymore?

Is there such a thing as a USB to 50 pin SCSI adapter? I have a HD from a Mac SE/30, before I destroy it I wonder if there is anything on it? Its the drive from my wife's Mac when we met and got married so umm.. its old. I know Linux could read these formats years ago, not sure if that is still the case. #RetroComputing

Should I buy an ATI Radeon HD 4870 GPU to build a period accurate Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Linux gaming PC?

Time for video games instead of reading for a bit. I think my plan is:
- Chain of Echoes DLC
- Octopath Traveler
- Pioneers of Pagonia
- FF VI
- Fantasian
- DQ 3 hd-2d
that's a hilariously long list so we'll see.
