  • Leaving rooted Android [OC]

    Jump

  • It should be noted that while you can do this, it can increase your attack surface, defeating a lot of the point of Graphene. Before I started using Graphene, I was a huge fan of rooting and getting full control of my device, so I definitely understand the appeal. But I don't think I would root Graphene myself, automated or otherwise.

  • New Zealand says it’s going to eradicate feral cats

    Jump

  • My fucking neighbors just keep letting their outdoor only cats reproduce and get mad when they meow for kibble. It's the worst. My county has a well funded TNR and last litter program, but they don't give a shit. I've done TNR of at least 8 or 9 cats and they just keep coming.

    These aren't even the completely wild and feral cats or anything (since the shitty neighbors feed them from time to time) although I'm sure their offspring has made some feral cats by now. It's horrible.

  • RECALL WARNING: CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using Batteries for E-Bikes from Rad Power Bikes Due to Fire Hazard; Risk of Serious Injury or Death

    Jump

  • This will be the final nail in the coffin for Rad. Especially since they're likely going to be sued since they aren't offering refunds at all (even though they claimed they would offer discounts. where are the discounts if they were willing, why did they go away once the CPSC said it wouldn't be acceptable??)

    It's sad, really. PE strikes again. I was about to start riding my Rad again after I broke my leg a few years ago. My battery isn't on the affected list, but I don't really trust Rad after this. I'll probably dispose of the battery and sell the bike with no battery.

  • SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says AI compute in space will be the lowest-cost option in 5 years — but Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it's a 'dream'

    Jump

  • The only real way to do heat transfer in space is through infrared. But that is not very efficient, so most compute in space is managed to reduce heat as much as possible. Data centers, or even just a few 2-4u servers with GPUs produce significantly more heat.

    What if the craft is in the sun? Then, you not only have to dump the heat from the onboard servers, but also the sun. These changes are rapid, and not easily managed. Plus, the cold side would still need something to radiate into. Heat does not transfer the same way in a vacuum, even closed loop systems on the ground need air to dump heat into. And these companies don't even want to use that because it's not efficient, so they waste our water instead.

    Make it make sense.

  • SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says AI compute in space will be the lowest-cost option in 5 years — but Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it's a 'dream'

    Jump

  • Server farms, especially ones with tons of GPUs, see little benefit from being in LEO. They cannot radiate heat efficiently, especially this amount of heat. Plus, unless boosted every now and then, they'll eventually burn up.

    How do you fix a hardware issue up there?

    None of it adds up on the balance sheet. It makes zero sense to do this in space. The only benefit is hyping up the AI market because space. That benefit won't last very long in our newscycle.

    Ok

  • What's the oldest website that's still alive that you've found?

    Jump

  • Fun fact, back in 2018 I emailed them asking if someone would take over once they were not able to have that responsibility, and if so, who. They replied the next day, and just said (copy and pasted from that email):

    Yes, it will be.  You would not know them.

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • It does, I think I'm a bit confused here. I think the apks may be signed with the original key from the previous repo, but that key doesn't necessarily have to line up with what's in the GitHub repo since a lot of the repo tasks were removed or changed. I'll edit my post, but this kind of highlights how messy this handover was, and how confusing it is to users (myself included).

    This isn't something you'd really want to mess with, since typically it has full filesystem access.

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • The new repo has two releases in it now. These releases are not signed with the original key as far as I can tell. Further, GitHub is silently redirecting to the new repo, even in Obtainium, meaning it's possible that if you had this previously installed via Obtainium and updated now, you may have unsigned apks installed that may or may not contain the changes in the repo.

    This is a mess. I deleted the repo from Obtainium (luckily I don't auto install updates) and will wait to see what happens over the next few months. Might just save my notes in a network share instead of using syncthing from my phone. Idk, notes are all that I was using it for.

  • Do you use a dishwasher or wash dishes by hand?

  • They make countertop dishwashers that connect to your sink, still better than washing by hand imo

  • Utah/salt lake and Climate Change

    Jump

  • I thought that was the governor (of Utah), not the mayor of SLC? The lake is (or was) large, with many sources, most of which are outside of SLC's jurisdiction.

  • Honestly that should have been a guaranteed one

  • That's part of ADHD for a lot of people: hyperfixation/focus on topics that interest them, and struggles otherwise.

  • I loved Firewatch's art style. And story. It was a masterpiece.

  • Utah/salt lake and Climate Change

    Jump

  • As an ex-SLC resident, the mayor and the city doesn't have that much pull over their sliver of the lake. The state reps and senators are really the ones to blame. They were also the ones that allowed companies to dump heavy metals into the lake which are now being blown into the valley for everyone to breathe.

    It's sad, I have a vivid memory of wading into the water as a child. In the area I went in at, you could walk for miles and the water would only come up to your chest. It was also really easy to float in, and brine shrimp were everywhere. It stunk, but as a kid, I didn't care about that. It was just cool to be in a super salty lake.
