I'm not an anti-car person. I also understand that we live in the world we are presented with, and there is a significant systemic oil culture that is difficult and expensive to not consume. I just thought this photo was a little ironic.
You wouldn't happen to be taking a picture of a screen from a gasoline-powered car, are you?
LCD monitors don't flicker at their refresh rate. It simply updates the graphics on the panel per frame at an imperceptible speed. The backlight has nothing to do with the refresh, either.
Newer LED lights often flicker.

Squarepusher cones to mind
I did a little digging and found that Nestle added CDs to their cereals! There were quite a few different titles with different labels. Maybe these links well help you find your games?
There's a bunch more content here:
What do you mean by "tracked and registered?" What is your goal for "securing even more?"
MAC addresses are visible to anyone sniffing traffic for a wireless LAN, even if they haven't joined your network. If you are having anonymous folks join your network and you're granting them access based on MAC addresses, then you could consider this a security risk. They can sniff a MAC, spoof it, and join your network.
Two devices with the same MAC address may cause some routing issues, but it will likely work well enough to have privileged access and be a bad actor. Plus, there are tools that can spoof a network disconnect request as your access point to temporarily kick off the legitimate client.
The easiest way to handle this would be to host two access points. You can typically serve both with one physical piece of hardware. One would be for your private stuff, and you can pretty much give it a full-trust model. Join the network, get the privileges. The other would be for guests. Join that, and you just get Internet access. You can separate these networks with VLANs to achieve this.
Wow, that's incredible! What a talented player!
Data center heat, with a little external help, warms homes of nearby residents. Nothing unusual or interesting.

You'd be surprised how little math is involved in programming that doesn't require it. A significant majority of programming is simply managing conditionals. For example: "when the door opens, turn on the light."
Math comes into place when you need it, and hardly ever comes as a surprise. Additionally, solved problems are generally kept in libraries. For example, you don't need to calculate a sum; simply tell it to calculate a sum for you, because this is a solved problem.
What you're already running into is called "impostor's syndrome." You believe that you are not capable of something to some degree, even though reality says otherwise. You haven't tried your hand at programming, so why worry now? You're inventing problems for yourself before you even got a chance to start.
Just go for it and see what you think. If you don't enjoy it, no biggie. If you do enjoy it, keep going. No obligations 👌
Like choosing to not buy a Lamborghini!
Freedom of speech doesn't mean that you are obligated to host a platform so shitty people can use it to share shitty ideals. It simply means that you won't get arrested on a federal level.
Websites can do whatever they want, including deciding that they don't want to be a platform for hate speech. If people are seeking a place for this conversation genre to happen, and they want it enough, they can run their own website.
Imagine if you invited a friend of a friend over, and they were sharing nasty ideals at your Christmas party. And they brought their friends. Are you just going to sit there and let them turn your dinner into a political rally? No, you're going to kick them out. It's your dinner, like it is your website. If you don't kick them out, then at some level, you're aligning with them.
Yeha, but you can ask for help without taking a shit on the effort of thousands of engineers.
I doubt OP thought, 'I'm going to take a shit on thousands of engineers.' It's okay to not know what to do, including asking for help. If they don't know what to do with "error 2," they're obviously lost. This unwelcoming attitude to newcomers is a big problem, and in my opinion, it's probably best not to contribute to it.
You can rephrase what you're saying and provide better help to someone who's completely lost in a much more polite and informative way. It's better for everyone.
Also, try searching web before crying on social media. If you can't solve your problems by searching the web then GNU/Linux probably isn't for you.
Sheesh, let them be frustrated already. Besides, asking for help is totally valid.
Polymeric sand in cold weather! Creative solutions to helping it cure?
I am about finished with an 8 ft x 13 ft patio, and the plan is to bond the pavers with polymeric sand. It's just starting to get down to freezing temps overnight, and I'm willing to take some chances with some creative solutions to cure the sand before it gets even cooler.
I understand that it's generally a bad idea to attempt poly sand in cold weather. But entertain my dumb idea: my patio is small enough to where I can cover it with a tarp like a tent, and I can leave a space heater in there overnight so that the sand is exposed to warm air. I am personally convinced that it's stupid enough to just work. Is this a terrible idea?
I also had the thought of bringing hot water out in a watering can from my bathtub. I needed to tamp the gravel that froze at one point, so I already did this, and was able to cover the whole area in about 5 trips or so. My only concern is that this is not a conventional way to set the sand, and am concerned that the hot water would flush the polymers

Tapping back after "about community" should go back to community
If I go to "about community" in a community, and I tap back (to close the "about community," from a UX perspective), it leaves the community and goes back to the previous view. This is the same behavior as if I tapped back while viewing the community.
In my opinion, it would be better to make back close the "about community" view and return to the community.
"Pull-down" refresh loads different content than "top-right menu" refresh
When viewing the front page, if I "pull down" the screen to refresh, the contents are different than the "refresh" menu option in the "top-right" menu.
Long-tap on comment text should display text selector
Currently, looking-tap behavior hides the comment. This should enable text selection instead.
Additionally, the comment hiding should be a visible option of its own.
Use an issue tracker
It'd be better to be able to track the bugs and features being suggested in a real issue tracker. The Lemmy format isn't a great place to track and organize these suggestions.
If you want the app to remain closed source, you can create a GitHub repo with a README.md, and simply use its issue tracker. There are a lot of options, but this is a popular one.

Back button should close side bar
When the side bar is visible in the left of the screen, if I tab the back button, the app asks in I want to quit. Instead, it should close the side bar first, then ask if I want to quit if back is tapped again 👍
Disable image animations when opening
When I open an image, the image moves up or down on the screen before stopping in the middle. It would be great to be able to disable this. Thanks!
Disable animations
It'd be really nice to have an option to disable the animations in Connect!
I generally don't like them in any UI, and have all animations disabled for everyone else on my phone. It'd be great to disable them in Connect, also!
Implement drafts (like RIF is Fun)
With RIF is Fun, if content cannot be submitted, or the user decides not to post yet, they can save their text as a draft in local storage. Later, they can retrieve said draft, edit the contents, and post it, if they'd like.
Would Connect entertain the idea of implementing drafts? I think it would be even more useful with Lemmy, because most Lemmy instances are operated by hobbyists without SLOs, and I have observed problems with posting much more frequently than Reddit.
Ensure that content gets submitted correctly before closing forms
Sometimes, when I submit a comment, the submission runs into an error, and the form disappears. This means that I lose my text altogether.
It would be great to ensure that content gets submitted correctly prior to closing forms!

I reverse-engineered all Timex Datalink watches and devices, the Notebook Adapter, and the CRT graphics in Ruby!
Heya! I thought I'd mention that I've been doing a bunch of development on the optical Timex Datalink watches! I have been carefully sniffing data from the original Timex software with a logic analyzer, and have fully reverse engineered every Datalink protocol, the serial Notebook Adapter, and even the CRT syncing graphics! This means that every Datalink device, including every Timex and Motorola watch, all PDAs, and the funny e-BRAIN talking toy is supported!
For those that aren't familiar, the Timex Datalink is a watch that was introduced in 1994 that is essentially a small PDA on your wrist. The early models (supported by this software) have an optical sensor on the top of the face that receives data via visible light.
The original data transfer method involves drawing patterns of lines on a CRT monitor for the watch to receive with the optical sensor. C
