  • You might want to put a content warning on the second video, it’s pretty rough.

    The first video is largely about him running illegal lotteries, which is pretty terrible given the scale they operate at, but it’s something that the average person might not know about or really think about it being essentially child gambling.

    The second video is an interview with a former employee who was put in solitary confinement for a video that never made it to YouTube because it was actually just them torturing him. Like, legitimate Geneva Convention war crime torture. Constant noise, no idea what time it is because you can’t see the sun, constant lights so you can’t sleep, constant monitoring, and him running until his feet bled.

    If any of it is anywhere near true they need to be sued off the face of the planet in addition to going to prison.


  • I believe you can change the scaling algorithm obs uses? Right click the source and go to “scale filter” is what Google is telling me, not at a computer right now. I think it defaults to bicubic which should be ok though? The switch does its own internal scaling a lot of the time and that can look pretty bad though, but unless you get into some serious shenanigans that’s basically baked in.








  • Assuming you mean an automatic drip coffee maker, Moccamaster is definitely the most “BIFL” one out there, as it makes pretty good coffee and the design basically hasn’t changed since the 1970s. Downside (or upside depending on how you look at it) is that they are hand made in the Netherlands, which makes them kind of expensive compared to most other options in the us.

    Oxo makes a really similar brewer in their 8 cup which in some ways is a little nicer than the Moccamaster. The drip head is a bit larger so the drip is more even, there’s a vent on top you can use to heat your mugs, and it comes with an extra cone to brew single servings directly into your cup. It’s also not cheap, but less than the Moccamaster. Downside of course is that you’re not buying something quite as proven.

    I have friends who have sworn by Bunn coffee makers, and while I think their commercial units are basically bulletproof, I’ve personally experienced a number of the residental ones fail.

    One other downside to all these is that they tend to not have any extra features like timers and whatnot, but that’s probably why they have lasted so well.
