Company tells employees to run miles each month if they want their bonuses
One of my previous jobs did something similar to this only without reward and public shaming as the punishment. We were all cube workers forced to do army standard tests and training after work.

First Samsung 200 megapixel telephoto camera in the Vivo X100 Pro+ to offer 200x zoom
It's about the quality of pixels, not the volume.

What a great job they did! This would have been a ton of work to develop the rig, stitch and normalize.

KSP2 is Spamming the Windows Registry Over Weeks/Months Until the Game Will Stop Working Permanently
As a Unity dev of 6 years, playerPreffs (the unity system that stores data in the registry) are a good place to store small amounts of data in a dictionary style structure quickly without creating your own data system. But they are extremely limited in the types of data they can hold and the control a dev has over them. Whenever I see playerPreffs used I think the dev must-have needed something quick and easy. They may have also created their own registry save system in that case should be an easy fix. (De)Serializing json or even custom binary files in compartmented files in a defined folder like StreamingAssets gives much more flexibility in data types and control. You can see playerPreffs limitations in the documentation below: (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.html)

Roku lays off 300 workers and removes streaming content to save money

It does feel like antiquated tech but what streaming service uses even 50+mbps streaming? The services I know of (apple, Netflix, Disney) all max out around 30mbps.

Record chicken prices squeeze US shoppers, benefit Tyson Foods
Reply in thread
Yeah man Tofu is a great complete protein! But is tricky to cook and if you don't do something special with it, it will taste like nothing and feels mushy. This is why tofu gets a bad rap.
If you are interested in cooking with tofu! Here is a killer tofu marinade I do. I am in love with this tofu and would eat it like cereal every morning if I could. This goes well with any Asian, rice or veggie dish:
Ginger-seseme tofu:
Firm or extra firm tofu
Take the package of tofu and cut it open with a knife, it looks like you can open it with your hands but you cannot. Keep this package as a marinade binn for later
drain all the water from the package and squeeze the water out of the tofu by placing it between some heavy things or even with your hands, the more water out the more flavor in but try to keep the shape intact
Now mix together the marinade in a bowl with:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon siracha
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic minced
Cut up the freshly squeezed tofu into dice sized cubes and place them back into the original container
Add the marinade into the container with the tofu and put into a fridge, let sit anywhere from 30mins - 4 hrs
Finally, bake in an oven set to 425f or air fryer set to high for 30mins flipping half way.
Protip! - freeze and thaw the package of tofu. Something about freezing tofu alters it's structure, this allows wore water to be drained and more marinade to be absorbed, almost 2x more!
If you try hope you enjoy!
I know that was a lot so if you want quick foolproof tofu that solves the texture problem but relies on the flooring of what it is put with:
Press water out of the tofu like above
Cut the tofu into the same dice sized cubes or shred it into a mixing bowl with your hands
Toss with 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch
Fry tofu in oil, flipping until golden brown
Phew' this was all phone typed, hope it makes sense. <3
Edit: fix formatting

is nextcloud still the best to host a small amount of files that need to be accessible anywhere and backed up? and carddav caldav
I've been using Synching to nightly backup my cellphone pictures for about 4 years now and it is still working just fine. I have a folder that gets pulled to my phones with edited photos and the phone cam foler gets pushed. Worst thing about it is android sometimes stops allowing the client to run if you haven't opened it in awhile.

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
I would recommend one but I have always been wery about sending password data through the internet to be stored on some companies server. So I put in the effort to host my own Vaultwarden docker instance through TrueNas scale (True charts) on my home server and access it via a VPN tunnel (Wireguard). It's very complicated to setup compared to a web service but this way I own all of my password data locally. The android app (Bitwarden) works alright but sometimes it has trouble understanding what is a login screen and you have to force fill things. Vaultwarden as a docker instance works great. The only time this setup needs to be on VPN is to save a new password. Using existing passwords seem to be cached on my device.

What happened to the emission credits auto manufacturers had to buy and trade? Seems like this would help the problem.

I think this is a double edged sword; It is easier for auto makes to make a profit on larger vehicles. Example of Ford discontinuing all cars in US except mustang in 2019 because of profitability. Americans feel they must compete in the road arms race because they do not feel safe with larger and larger vehicles. There is more demand for bigger vehicles and bigger vehicles make more profit, naturally this will explode into every manufacturer making larger things.
Next up: Caterpillar will release their ASV (armored security vehicle) to the civilian market and it sells like hotcakes!

Thank you! Pretty amazing what light come in when you can hold the shutter open. It was a Sony a7r4 with the Sony 200-600 @600mm mounted on a sky_watcher star adventure II with a slightly modified counterweight to handle the load.

A different option for the Ikea Vindritning air quality sensor
Reply in thread
Vindstyrka is definitely a more attractive sensor, with more capabilities. I was super excited to see it. One of my requirements was to have an esphome device as I don't have a ZigBee network. Seems like the data interpretation through i2c isn't quite there for Vindstyrka, Ikea is doing some calculation after reading the sensor on it.
