Proper cider (scrumpy)is extremely high % I thought

My preferred scrumpy is Old Rosie, which is around 7% - high if you're drinking it by the pint, but not ridiculous. Most of the reason for cider's reputation is that unlike most beers it actually tastes nice, so there's no incentive to stop drinking it - especially if it's served cold on a warm summer day.

Zachack posted:Is chaw still a thing in MLB? From my casual watching of giants games my impression is that everyone is packing in sunflower seeds and spraying the husks everywhere. Chewing Tobacco has been banned in the Minors for a decade, there's no reason to ban it at the MLB level because the players coming up aren't using it. Hilariously, almost 100% of NFL players use it specifically and only during training camps, when they're working 15+ hour days of strenuous activity because coffee makes you piss (and takes you off the field) and smoking is bad for your lungs and everything else shows up in a piss test, so the only stimulant left is chewing tobacco.

Anyone know why my boss' Imac is refusing a password that I KNOW works? Because I can log into thru Safari and see the device(s) he has. WHole thing started because Apple wants his phone and his CPU to embrace 2 step verification and we entered the code(s) but now his work Mac says the PW is incorrect. It's not incorrect. His phone and the Apple website accept it. We didn't change anything. Apple used to be really good at ease of use and not having to be a big tech person to use their products but I swear to god they're god awful anymore with this stuff. I've been using Apple and Mac for 30 years now in my professional work, so I'm more than familiar with them, and now I'm looking at having to reset his password for like the 3rd time in the last year if I can't get it to work because these devices aren't playing nice. It worked fine until we finally clicked on the two step verification message that I couldn't make go away. Also, there's no way to turn it OFF anywhere on the Apple site or really change any security settings. He doesn't need it or want it and only has the Mac and the phone. The Adobe Creative Cloud he pays for likes to pull this poo poo on occasion too. Asking me to log in when I AM logged in but still can;t work on any jobs until I figure out a workaround.

I’ve run into a similar issue on Windows and the problem turned out to be IT policy requiring Intune to be installed to make sure any machine with access was being kept up to date. The error message was just a generic authentication failure, of course, nothing you could use to diagnose the actual problem. It could be something similar here, some extra security measure in the enterprise version that came in at the same time as the 2-factor authentication. If you’re a large company then talk to IT, if you are IT then good luck.

There was a recent-ish update where my Mini now has a separate login password from my Apple ID password, when it used to be just the latter. So I made them the same password. :-/

In today's reminder that mainstream science journalism always has been and always will be poo poo: AI poses existential threat and risk to health of millions, experts warn (Guardian). This entire article is based off a single five-author journal paper (here). This fact is alluded to once, in the sentence "health professionals from the UK, US, Australia, Costa Rica and Malaysia writing in the journal BMJ Global Health". People from five different countries sounds much more impressive than five people, after all!

While The Guardian is slightly exaggerating it, as is usually the case with science coverage, I don't see anything glaringly wrong with the article itself, which is mostly composed of quotes from the journal paper and letter. I don't see too much obviously wrong with the journal paper either. The "existential threat" part is barely mentioned at all, to the point where I suspect it was thrown in as an afterthought. Instead, the paper focuses almost entirely on real issues with real technologies being developed and deployed right now, to the point where I'd say it's somewhat overusing the term "AI" because it fails to draw a clear distinction between the algorithmically-driven tools of the 2010s and the machine-learning stuff being deployed currently.

Researching it, it looks like it's another one of those endless things where I have to trouble shoot and trick the system into knocking this poo poo off. Reset this, delete that, clear this cache, delete PRAM, update some other thing, etc. And for whatever reason, there doesn't seem to be a way to turn OFF two step now that it's implemented and loving things up. I really don't want to reset the password again because even that is a hassle and causes all sorts of inconvenience and headaches for the guy.

Speaking of tech nightmares, I'm trying to move from Chrome at home, but man Firefox is slow and a system hog, particularly when it comes to loading videos or youtube. Firefox also lacks a very good chrome feature I use like all the time, the right click translate button. Firefox has addons for it but compared to the built in chrome functionality they all suck. Chrome can translate the page without affecting it's functionality, the firefox plugins can't and often break the page. I tend to visit a lot of pages in languages I don't speak, or speak well so chromes google translate feature is real difficult to live without. It's just so.. well designed, it just works.

Firefox owns, I've been using it for several years. Containers, temporary tabs, browser fingerprinting resist, and a dedication to privacy all rule. A website loading a second slower is worth it to me. Chrome is the real tech nightmare.

Yeah personally I find Firefox to be the best for features. My computer is pretty high end so if it is sightly slower for video, I've never noticed.

Clarste posted:I recall people saying that Google intentionally slows down youtube on Firefox, but I don't know if that's just a conspiracy theory. I think firefox is the only browser that shunts the video decode into a separate managed process, because the source code for it is closed source and they permit no such thing in their main process. This probably has a performance impact. I don't think google gives a poo poo about firefox users.

I'm not in love with Firefox, but it allows plugins to block advertiser trackers, which Google is planning to forbid in Chrome. Have you always wanted to store your wine in the cloud? Underground Cellars has the solution for you. Well, had, actually. quote:Underground Cellar, the innovative wine reseller that suddenly ceased operations in late April after attracting customers with a game-like wine-collecting experience, owes roughly $25 million dollars worth of wine and other debts to creditors, according to bankruptcy filings.

Their translation functions were so, so good compared to Firefox and I spend probably 10-25% of my internet time on non-English websites. Still made the switch to Firefox anyway, but I miss that.

BTW, a couple of years back, thousands of bottles of wine, including winemakers' "libraries" (bottles from all their vintages, for comparison) were lost when a customer set fire to another company's warehouse in order to hide his wine forgery.

I've been using Edge almost since it was released and it's pretty flawless. I tried to switch to Firefox a month ago but it was missing some functionality I preferred in Edge, so now I'm back to all Edge. I think the legacy of Internet Explorer stink is stopping a lot of people from trying it, but I don't know what's wrong with it other than Microsoft being one of the big bads.
