I never understood test driven development. Yes I do usually write tests for my code, but only after I've finished writing my code.

+1 for caffeine pills, although 200mg is a bit too much for me. I prefer 100mg

Math is just simplified physics

I don't know if I agree with that. Math is the language used to express Physics concepts. Physics is a conceptualization of the fundamental laws of the universe

this is probably the least helpful de-googling video

I don't think it was supposed to be particularly helpful. It's more of him sharing his passion with his audience. Which isn't going to be interesting if you don't care about him.

Out of curiosity I did a quick test with Sennheiser Momentum 4 using 1000 kbps flac and I personally couldn't hear a difference that I wouldn't call placebo. If I wanted to I could convince myself that BT sounds better. But there really was no difference in quality. Only the tuning might be slightly different.

One cause of a difference could be whether the headphones use their built-in DAC or the phone's.

Thumbnail image quality (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Would it be possible to display thumbnails in full quality? I would like to see images in their best quality without having to tap on them

Slow Steam downloads via USB-Tethering on Linux only (discuss.tchncs.de)

For the past few weeks, the download speed on steam via USB-Tethering on my Linux distro (Arch, btw) has been steadily going, barely reaching 2 MB/s right now. I thought it might be the ISP slowing Steam specifically down, since every other download worked at the expected speed (~15-30 MB/s).
Just because I was curious (and wanted to exclude Linux as the issue), I booted into my Windows and started a Steam download, which surprisingly reached 30 MB/s.

When using home wifi, every download has the (approximately) same speed, only with USB-Tethering and only on Linux is Steam much slower than anything else.

I'm at a loss here. No idea what the issue could be.

Update while writing this: I noticed my Wifi was still connected while USB-Tethering was active, disconnected and now Steam downloads with ~10 MB/s. Still slower than Windows but at least some progress and hopefully insight into what could be causing this.

High battery usage on android (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I recently noticed that Firefox for me has pretty high battery usage, more than twice of what Connect (Lemmy) has at ~75% the screen time.
Could this be because of extensions? I'm using Dark Reader and uBlock Origin

Tasks for Proton Calendar (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

So I've been wanting to switch from Google, but Calendar is the one thing keeping me from doing so, mainly because of Tasks. I only use Tasks and I use them multiple times a day. Are tasks coming to calendar any time soon? I saw them being mentioned in a post a year ago but it seems nothing happened yet.

Sollte ein Bruch dauerhaft (während die Schwellung besteht) gekühlt werden? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Ich habe mir vor sechs Tagen den Innenknöchel gebrochen und es noch geschwollen. Habe den Fuß dauerthaft hochgelagert und auch so gut wie immer kühl gehalten (kurze Pause zwischendrin), aber das Kühlen wird so langsam unangenehm und nervig.
Ist dauerhaftes Kühlen beim Abschwellen hilfreich oder reicht das Ruhigstellen und Hochlegen (parallel zum Boden)?
Am Mittwoch sollte der Bruch operiert werden aber mit der aktuellen Schwellung ist das nicht möglich.
