Technology@lemmy.world•New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cyclesEnglish
391·1 day agoThe technology uses nickel and iron clusters smaller than 5 nanometers, meaning 10,000 to 20,000 clusters could fit within the width of a human hair.
By using these dimensions, the researchers increased the electrode surface area, allowing almost every atom to participate in the chemical reaction. This efficiency enables the battery to reach a full charge in seconds rather than the seven hours required by historical versions of the technology.

51·2 days agoRamsingh alleged discrimination against English-speaking detainees from security, writing that about 90% of the facility’s security staff was Hispanic.
The Camp East Montana facility has a projected capacity of 5,000 detainees and held about 3,250 people as of Dec. 19, according to ICE.
Ramsingh wrote he spent four and a half months living in a 38-by-78-foot pod with 72 other detainees. The space included five toilets, six showers, two televisions, two cameras and five six-seat tables.
“These pods where we were detained were very filthy; full of bugs all over the showers and toilet and throughout the pod and facility,” Ramsingh wrote. “We were served 3 meals a day about 12oz each meal they were very small and we starved. There was no commissary or any access to any other foods it was just enough to survive we had to eat either in our beds or by the restrooms that smelled very bad. People blew their noses in the sinks spit on the floors all over the showers and bathrooms it was disgusting. Some people were taking showers with no shower shoes which lead to infections on their feet.”
He said recreation time was limited to a small outdoor area he described as resembling a “dog kennel,” surrounded by low barbed wire that detainees could easily come into contact with.
Sleep was difficult, he added, because of what he described as “screaming and hollering each and every night.”
Ramsingh also alleged inadequate medical care, saying he was sick for weeks without medication or treatment. He described shortages of basic supplies such as shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant, and said he had to hand-wash his clothes because the facility could not keep up with laundry demands.

4·2 days agoMaybe, but not at the same time as he’s deciding the first case. With thus judge’s opinion, Kelly can file a civil suit to bilk and embarrass Drinky Pete but only the corrupt DoJ can bring criminal charges (or military, but I dunno how that works).

politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump Is VERY EXCITED About All Of Our Shitty Right Wing Broadcasters Merging Into One Bigger, Even Shittier Company
13·3 days agoTrump 1.0 took a hatchet to media ownership limits. Those limits, built on the back of decades of bipartisan collaboration, prohibited local broadcasters and media from growing too large, trampling smaller (and more diversely-owned) competitors underfoot. The result of their destruction has been a rise in local news deserts, a surge in right wing propaganda outlets pretending to be “local news,” less diverse media ownership, and (if you hadn’t noticed) a painfully disinformed electorate.
Trump 2.0 has been significantly worse.
Trump’s FCC has finished demolishing whatever was left of already saggy media ownership limits, and are eyeing eliminating rules that would prevent the big four (Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC) from merging (a major reason why these networks have been such feckless authoritarian appeasers).
They’re also working hard to let all of our local right wing broadcast companies merge into one, even larger, shittier company, something Donald Trump is very excited about!
. . . Trump’s rise to power couldn’t have been made possible without the Republican domination of media. For the better part of a generation Republicans have dominated AM radio, local broadcast TV, and cable news, and have since done a remarkable job hoovering up what’s left of both major media companies (CBS, FOX) and modern social media empires (TikTok, Twitter). The impact is everywhere you look.
. . . They very openly (and so far semi-successfully) are trying to build a state media apparatus akin to what they have in Orban’s Hungary and Putin’s Russia. Our corporate press is already so broken and captured it’s incapable of communicating that to anybody. It simply wouldn’t be in their best financial interests for existing media conglomerates to be honest about this sort of thing.
