Some manufacturers made all sorts of different codes for instructions between various models of tv and remote. That includes some different TVs only sharing an 'on' or 'off' code and not the other.

It's why many 'universal' remotes will tell you in the instructions to keep trying different numbers for the manufacturer until all features work. So... you'll have to do that. Try all Toshiba TV codes that remote knows. If none of them support all features, hopefully you can tweak button by button!

I mean, ol' Marky's not entirely wrong if you take it as a cheeky statement. They're generally not spying on their users (ok, they are literally, but...): Their users freely give Facebook the info so they can share with nana, or ragepost about politics, or vacation gloat to their friends, or chat on messenger, or buy on marketplace, etc.

Of course FB/Meta are still evil pieces of shit that deserve nothing but fines, taxes, and regulations for the rest of their existence, but people are still way too trusting of social platforms.

No, but every canopy helps cool the ground, retain water, and deep roots help bring nutrients up and produce softer soil for other plants' roots.

So, not every canopy has its grove, especially for trees that evolved seeds that tend to travel far, but nigh every canopy produces positive results around it!

... Depending on what the other plant species in that canopy want, of course, as some plants love direct sunlight, but most plants cannot live in an open field and need help retaining water, cannot handle full daylight, need protection from wind, etc.

Not if the sender is signing it with the correct private key.

Of course, that requires the app to do the correct thing, and if it's coming from someone shady...

Though if the app wanted to MITM their users' private keys, they'd be FAR better off just writing the app to upload the private key to their servers, too. Much simpler and potentially more devastating if it scrapes up other keys, too.

Then nobody shows up with a different key than what was set up, even if they had set it up manually.

Same principles? Yes. Same ratio of ingredients? Technically yes. (it's the same chemical reactions with the same ratios of input/output)

Though smaller things tend to be easier to light on fire. Think of how things like flour and metal dust are flammable. Steel wool is flammable. You gather small dry brush and twigs to make the foundation for a bigger fire, for crying out loud!

Though you'd be having a lot more problems with your body's biology. Your blood wouldn't work. Wouldn't circulate. Your lungs would feel like you were breathing a thick liquid and also wouldn't work. Your muscles to skeleton ratio would be all out of wack (I 'think' it'd go that you'd have too strong of bones, but I forget how biomechanics scale way up or way down). You'd probably freeze to death very quickly too, even if your biology ran fine.

Christian conservatives are some of the weakest, least prepared for life people I have ever met. It constantly amazes me that anyone listens to those clowns...

Neither will adding Big Brother to your print pipeline.

Cover them and see who complains first.

Massively depends on where the texture is used. If it's for a main character that gets closeups, body and especially detailed textures can be massive and can add up fast even when compressed. Little low contrast details can definitely work fine and go unnoticed next to super hifi textures while being small themselves, though so many just make everything hifi. Bleh.

I miss when games went for lowfi art instead of the modern deluge of AAA pseudo-cinema 100G+ games or friendslop with the art direction of a two day game jam... (obviously there are outliers, but the industry trends are disappointing lately)

The government is supposed to be that mechanism, but idiots keep being paid to think that capitalism is best, and the industries should regulate themselves because the pros know better, and that's totally why lobbying is a good idea and not literally legalized bribery!

The governments suck because we let the bad people get away with their greed, and now they've bought their way deep into governments. Governments don't serve the people solely because good people do not know how to be bad to bad people. ... and that greedy fuckhead capitalists are also bad people.

Not just gaming. All industries.

It's capitalism. Capitalism is institutionalized greed. These greedy cunts think they're just being, "good businessmen".

Legal requirement, not technical. Trademark law.
