i also tried the same video on my one-year-old laptop and it's just as bad there. i don't know how toastery it is, but it's a haswell i5 4200U, apparently. i even set windows' power options to "high performance" and plugged in the power cord and even that didn't help.

That's weird, I have a good CPU (i7 4770k) but 25% for me should translate into still-playable-for-i5s even if its a mobile one. I doubt it will work, but you can try one of the latest revs of chromium. :shrug:

On that note: Chromium's flash plugin wont work for me (Edit: I forgot I had to update the path every time theres an update and apparently there was a day or two ago) even after I went through getting it to recognize the PPAPI, Here's hoping some arbitrary update fixes it (Edit: Recognizing the path automatically in Chromium would fix this). I almost like chrome/ium now though, it only took 3 years and firefox loving everything up to get to this point (Also uBlock and uMatrix are amazing)

testing software yourself is such a waste of a developer's time. just let the users tell you what's wrong and fix it in the next release. that's why it's called beta!

Apple rattled tech rivals like Google last year when it entered brick-and-mortar retail with Apple Pay, which lets people use their iPhone to pay for goods in stores. Now Google, which has long offered a similar product for Android phones that hasn’t become widely used, and Square, which helps small businesses accept credit card payments, are searching for new ways to insert themselves into the retail value chain.

Google last fall began testing a service called “Plaso” that allows people carrying Android phones to pay at retailers like Papa John’s and Panera Bread by saying their initials to employees at the cash register, according to four people who have been involved in or briefed about it.

actually now that I think about it the odds are going to be incredibly remote that two people who would use such a stupid system would be in the same store at the same time, much less that they would have the same initials

i opened a ticket with google enterprise support because the windows google drive client would leave 50mb of python related poo poo behind every time it didnt exit cleanly (note: it cant exit cleanly if a user logs out or shuts down, it has to be closed from the system tray). even though google drive is a core app as far as their support goes and was filling laptops with ssds up at the rate of at least 1.5gb a month, their response was that it uses pyinstall and they couldnt do anything about that because it wasnt their code.

the company is a loving joke and anyone who relies on google for anything related to the success of their business should hope they can gtfo before it all comes tumbling down.

no, you were right before.

in statistics classes there's a common experiment where the professor asks the class what they think the chances are that the any 2 of the 30 to 40 of them have the same birthday. it seems low, but actually it's really likely. that's just purely statistical, that doesn't have anything to do with popular birth months or anything.

run the same experiment with initials and the statistical likelihood is basically guaranteed, but you get to consider that the letter Z and X aren't very popular and the letters J and S are (Johnson, smith)
