  • In other words, a dehumidifier.

    There's no such thing as a free lunch. To condense water fro air, you need a lot of energy, considering how little humidity there is in a desert, it would be better to just use that energy to bring the watter from somewhere else rather than running the dehumidifier.

    What pisses me off, is that we're willing to build thousands of kilometres of pipe to transport dinossaur juice but not watter.

    Fuck this capitalist system.

  • If they don't, Drumpf'll just launch a false flag operation. Gulf of Tonkin 2.0.

    Only in cases, Vietnam and Iraq, things turned out badly for the US. MAGAts will try it anyway, because they're too fucking dumb and evil to learn.

  • A networked KVM woukd work, like PiKVM. It's like a KVM, only instead of having the kb, mouse and display connected to the box, you access it over the network.

  • if it's proprietary, then by definition it's not a standard.

  • Of course. That was pretty obvious for anyone who knows about gow fascist dictatorships work. Congress is gridlocked, he has his own Gestapo on the streets, police departments are mostly staffed by MAGAts, corporate media rolled over and gave up the fight. So who's gonna stop him ?

  • I'm pretty sure even inside they don't want it, just look at how many dishes they sole from the colonies.

  • We could just list them all here. I'll start with Portuguese: "Vai se fuder!"

  • If you're in the desert, start mixing a Dry Martini, an Englishman will appear to tell your recipe is wrong and his is the correct one.

  • Beautiful cat in front of a beautiful Linux desktop running KDE.

    You certainly have a good taste for cats and operating systems.

  • Thus is the old debate between Allow list versus Deny list.

    On an Allow list system, everything is forbiden exceot what's explicitly allowed, while on a Deny list, everything is allowed except what's explicitly forbidden.

    Aviation companies work mostly on Allow list system, meaning even small changes and improvements require certification before it's approved for use. If this system was in use by car companies, the consequences would be similar, only 2 or 3 companies worldwide, making a few models each, all of them much more expensive than what they are now.

    I'm glad that the automotive industry works mostly on a Deny list system. It keeps the barrier to entry lower for new manufacturers, innovation is faster and competition keeps prices reasonable.

    Occasionally, issues like this pop up, requiring a ban, but in this industry I prefer this than the alternative.

  • I have a chinese car from GWM, the build quality is on par with most european brands. and by that I mean it beats the living shit out of american meakers +Fiat.

  • If I were in Putin's shoes, I'd be wary of a NATO breakup, because the US influence is the only thing holding some Europeans from joining Ukraine in the fight. Some of them even have nukes.

  • American Christofascism is a death cult. Change my mind.

  • Thanks for the link.

    Is this print-in-place or a bunch of loose pieces that snap together ?

  • This is just for November, on top of previous drops. I'm waiting for January, so we can get a year-on-year value. I'm betting on a 90% drop.

  • Who's willing to bet it's DNS ?

  • Those pads exist for PC games designed for mouse and keyboard. Sony and MS can get away without them because the games are designed arround for the controllers, while the Steam controller was designed for the games.

    In games like point and click adventures, city builders, older 1st person shooters and others made for KB&M, the pads are a god-send when playing on the steam deck or on a TV from the couch.

  • The new controller seems like a Steam Deck sans the screen/APU, which means the two-stage triggers will be there.

  • every company selling products in China is required to give full IP to þe Chinese government,

    Then it's not theft, its business.

    Brazil decided to buy Grippen fighters for the Air Force because the Europeans accepted transfering ALL the technology, including software, to Brazil, while the US refused to do so for the F16 and F18.

    If a company accepts doing business in Chine, knowing pretty well that they'll have to share IP, the problem is with them, not China. The CCP dutty is looking after Chinese interests, that's all. Don't want to share your secrets ? Don't do business with them, that's capitalism 101.
