Back before smart phones I always preferred flip phones over “candy bars”, the flip phone helps to protect the delicate screen and buttons while the phone is in your pocket/purse. You don’t really need a case for a flip phone.
Modern smart phones tend to be more delicate than they should be across the board, but in theory, a flip phone puts the more delicate parts in a safer place.
I have anecdotal evidence that people get misinformation from tiktok.
My son in law (who unfortunately lives with us, but that’s another rant) was telling me about a third assassination plot against Donald Trump. He wanted to show me this tiktok with the news. I was able to inform him that these rumors weren’t accurate, and he quickly confirmed that.
But I only knew to question his assertion because i’d already seen news here on Lemmy that there were debunked rumors of another assassination plot. That is to say, Lemmy never pushed the tumor as news, but rather only reported about the already debunked rumors continuing to circulate. The disinformation continuing to spread was the interesting news on Lemmy.
Fun fact, a group of pedants is called a flem. To use it in a sentence: “the party was ruined by a flem of pedants”.
The headline should read:
Despite best efforts and all odds, ISPs find themselves on the right side of history.
Those now saying 5 to 10 years are VC backed startups.
It’s scientists and engineers saying it, it may also be VCs, but 5-10 is the official line from engineers.
The bottom line is this, maybe one of these startups or smaller reactor designs will work, you never know. But at the end of the day, ITER is scheduled to be completed in 2034, and at that scale, it will be net energy positive, there’s no doubt.
Honestly, I think we’re getting really very close! We’ve been in this cycle of eternally “30 years away”. These days we’re in a cycle of “5-10 years away”. That sounds like a joke, but we really are closing in.
Now that said, while we can eventually get fusion to work, it will absolutely not solve all of our energy problems. Once it’s actually possible, it will still be the most expensive source of energy available. Which means once we can do it, we won’t actually want to do it.
Hospitals are practically faraday cages, it can be hard to get a signal in large hospitals.
But a text message that amounts to just a few bits can usually sneak through without much delay.
For most people they won’t need anything more than a 7800x3d for 5 maybe even 10 years?
I know from experience, it is very difficult to get 10 years of gaming out of a processor. I’m a pretty frugal guy, and I’m actually ok with merely “acceptable” gaming performance, but I think the most I’ve ever managed was 8 years on the same processor, and that was with the core 2 duo. I called it the super chip, the chip that stayed competitive even when multiple new architectures were available. And honestly, 8 years was really pretty good. But when I switched to a quad core i5, it was definitely a necessary change.
Israel might be the baddies…
Or compare to the CO2 put out by global concrete construction. It’s more than some might believe.
I’ve been having trouble with this too.
So far my best assessment is that the problem stems from the Chromecast not playing well with my router. Resetting the Wi-Fi on my router tends to fix the problem, but it’s seriously annoying.
Separately, I also have issues with the play/pause not working when casting and some other weird interface behaviors sometimes. But all in all, it’s worth complaining, but it still works better than everything else.
Wtf… There’s no narrative or throughline, it’s just like… if you distilled “unsettling” and put it on paper.
Well, successful art I guess, it made me feel things…
Water from non-Earth sources might contain dissolved minerals at poisonous levels for agriculture, much less human consumption.
Oh yeah, it’s practically guaranteed to contain nasty stuff! We’re gonna drink it anyway though.
Most of that water on earth that we’d consider “not useful” would fall into the “100% useful” category if found in space. As long as the contaminants have a different boiling temperature from water, you can always boil the water into steam in order to separate it. Or you could also use electrolysis to separate out the hydrogen and oxygen and then recombine then in clean tanks.
These are expensive methods of purification, energy intensive, but solar panels really well with no atmosphere and 24/7 sun exposure, so this is all feasible.
Why isn’t it targeted at the entire fanbase?
Is that a serious question? Because the answer is obvious…
Ok, let me start out by saying I have an 8 year old, and he fucking loves Minecraft. And hey, I played the game a bunch back when it was in beta and I was like 25. But I did not love the game the way that he loves the game… He’s obsessive about Minecraft, some days it’s all he talks about. How many adults do you know like that?
And here’s the real question, when’s the last time you bought Minecraft merch for yourself? Because my kid has a Minecraft lunchbox, a Minecraft hoody, a Minecraft Lego set, some Minecraft figurines, and of course the Minecraft sheets and PJs.
Yeah, the hivemind can get pretty tiresome.
So, as far as I can tell, the primary difference with this version of the game is that it uses question registers?
What does that mean, functionally?
Like how does that affect the software? How would the software run on an actual quantum computer?
