Have they? Is Roku dominant in this market?

Space exploration. It feels like the one awesome thing humanity is doing right now. Also maybe the most important thing humans are doing right now.

I might switch to a flip phone if it had gps and maps.

That’s simply the killer app for smart phones, at this point it’s a necessary part of my life. Without it I need a separate device just for that, and that device is actually less useful.

Edit: now that I’m reading other responses I have to agree, secure messaging and 2fa are really important too.

I could live without everything else, but to be honest, I don’t use much else. A few games, Lemmy, music apps, audiobook apps. Of those, Lemmy is the app most likely to leave me feeling upset, or like I want to doomscroll.

I think limiting the apps I use is the biggest thing I can do to not make the phone a negative influence for me. But to be clear, if that starts happening, Lemmy is the first to go, I already don’t use any other social media.

Unrelated wasps seem to prefer prosciutto over any other item on a spread filled with meats and cheeses.

But so do I, this is terrible news! The prosciutto is the only part I don’t want to throw out!

All atoms are multiple particles at quantum scales, even a single hydrogen atom is comprised of four.

And I imagine we don’t have great methods for manipulating subatomic particles… Quarks and such don’t have magnetic charges, they’re probably hard to control as well as probably unstable on their own. So as a result I’d wager it’s hard to run experiments with those.

Also also: this isn’t just photons, everything is like this. It may not align with how we observe things on a microscopic scale, but this is fundamentally how the universe works.

Wow, I think this answered my question before I asked it. So yeah, I was wondering about that double slit experiment, I’ve seen it demonstrated with photons and visible light, but do the principles demonstrated by the experiment actually apply to other particles? In the right environments, do atoms behave similarly?

Hmm, any relation to John Goodenough?

He’s the materials scientist that made lithium ion battery chemistry actually work, thus making all of our modern mobile devices and electric vehicles actually possible.

I’m about to be seeing a lot less Roku…

They know they’re entirely replaceable right? Like the Amazon fire tv, apple tv, Chromecast… Making their platform shittier really shouldn’t be their top priority if they want to stay in business.

Fucking American airlines… They would do that…

In all fairness, that is one of the strong use cases for computers in general. Doing simple yet tedious tasks accurately. When looking over 50 names checking for a particular letter, humans get bored and make mistakes. We actually aren’t great at that sort of task. I think simply calling this ineptitude both misses the point and under appreciates the reality of being human.

Alas, it is easier to call someone dumb than to try to understand them.

Yeah, I have to agree. When a breach occurs (and it happens to just about every organization at some point or another) a press release this honest, responsible and immediate is not really the norm. I see this as a show of competence on the security front and integrity for the company as a whole.

I do wish Plex wasn’t further enshitifying their product more with every release, but that’s a different issue.

Metallurgy isn’t my field, but here’s an educated guess…

There are different kinds of contaminants. In raw ore you largely have silicate rock and metals. In recycled material you have relatively pure metal (alloys), and a large variety of volatiles.

Now with ore you can grind it all into sand, sift it, and smelt all the heavy grains. The rock should mostly just separate from the metal, these are just phase changes. But with recycling, those volatiles are going to burn and some are going to react with the metals, changing the chemical makeup. And with ore, you basically know what minerals you’re working with. With recycled materials, it’s anyone’s guess. Does this can contain some food residue? Or an oil? Perhaps chemical cleaning agents? Is another plastic container stuffed inside?

There’s a lot of variables with recycled materials, I imagine it’s hard to predict how some of those variables react.

Read the article. Comprehend the article.

their business model was unsustainable,

So stop development, problem solved. Seriously, that’s all anyone wanted. Just keep selling the mobile app, people will keep buying it. Update it once a year and don’t change anything else. They probably could have continued to run everything with one or two developers.

It kills me that they took something good and turned it to shit rather than letting it be.

how they solve their food shortage

Oh hey, they could actually solve an additional problem at the same time! Just send all their extra kids to hunt all their invasive species. Lionfish are tasty and I’ll bet bermese python taste like chicken. Sure, not every kid is going to survive the hunt, but now there’s more food for everyone! And remember, killing two birds with one stone (so to speak).

I like 22/7

Whatever, just keep it down, ok?

Play with my kid. I’ll be in bed.

I think I’m going to have a harder time fitting a threadripper in my 10 inch rack than I am getting any GPU in there.

Well, you could always use a closed loop CPU cooler. (Not necessarily that one)

With the radiator hanging out in back, this shouldn’t need much height.

Fake news! That user “CatDogL0ver” is just is a dog and a cat using a keyboard. They’re just trying to discredit squirrels.
