  • IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light

    Jump

  • The OS takes its chunk of RAM. And I'd imagine most people don't close all unnecessary background processes when launching a game. So they'll have Steam and Epic and Discord and the management software for their RGB (multiple, if the individual components are mismatched) and their browser with like 30 tabs open in the background. Under these circumstances, it's not outside the realm of possibility that 8GB of RAM is gone even before the game is launched.

  • Starlink in the crosshairs: How Russia could attack Elon Musk's conquering of space

    Jump

  • No. Just pointing out that a collision in LEO physically cannot create a situation where we're locked in on Earth for more than a decade or two. The orbits will still have a perigee in LEO. They will still decay. The debris will still burn up eventually. Kessler syndrome is impossible in LEO. And in higher, larger volume orbits, it's overblown, because we don't even have enough mass there to create a notable debris field to lock ourselves in with.

    A Kessler cascade is one of those things that people read about and it sounds really scary and plausible and happening, like, in a week cause Starlink exists. And that's where the thought process stops and the Chicken Little everyone has in their brain takes over.

    Jump

  • But it won't be a uniformly higher orbit, because there's only one event where energy was added to the fragments. The perigee will still be in LEO and anything that'd raise the apogee to a point where the new orbit would be stable for a decade would require so much energy that it'd vaporize the satellite on impact.

  • 'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

    Jump

  • What about the Covid period? Kinda hard to have a school shooting when kids aren't going to school, I'd imagine.

  • Don't crucify me

    Jump

  • My local PC hardware store offers assembly and setup services for ~20€. Includes installing and updating the OS and drivers, as well as stress testing to verify that the components perform as expected. More places should offer that option, really. Especially if they also sell pre-built PCs that are assembled in-house.

  • What if I told you that refusing to trade your life time for money is a good and respectable choice

    Jump

  • "Respect" is commonly used in two wildly different ways. To some, it means being treated as an authority. To others, it means being treated as a person (aka common fucking courtesy). Then there's the absolute shitstains who say "If you won't respect me, then I won't respect you," and what they mean is "If you won't treat me as an authority, I won't treat you as a person."

    Being treated as a person is given. Being treated as an authority is earned. And if you don't do anything to prove you're capable of being an authority, you don't deserve to be treated as such.

  • Russia accidentally destroys its only way of sending astronauts to space

    Jump

  • Russian crew launches are done for an indefinite period. It's entirely possible that Baikonur is just out of commission. If the pad is even capable of launching in its current condition, doing so would likely cause even more damage. So while the pad itself isn't exactly destroyed, its capability for crewed launches certainly is. Until repairs are made.

  • The existence of billionaires is a policy failure

    Jump

  • That they also won't use on R&D. Or healthcare. Or housing. Or feeding people. Those things aren't shit for a lack of resources to fund them, they're shit for a lack of interest in funding them. That's not a problem you can fix with more money.

  • The existence of billionaires is a policy failure

    Jump

  • Governments HAVE the resources. They CHOOSE to not spend it on R&D.

  • An Italian Company Builds the First Known Propellantless Space-Propulsion System

    Jump

  • So what's the operating principle? An actually working reactionless drive is a bloody bold claim to make and there's going to be a lot of eyes on this one.

    EDIT: It's oscillating magnets.

  • How close are we to human hibernation? Takes roughly 3 years to get to mars and thought more planets would need us to stay in a state of hibernation kind of like a pod or something?

    Jump

  • Three years? A low energy transfer orbit gets you to Mars in less than a year. In the past, theoretical crewed missions were planned with an 8-9 month travel time. With enough propellant, could get that down to just over three months. And that's with chemical rockets, not some hypothetical nuclear or torch drive.

  • Stockholm Metro

    Jump

  • Was there recently. Felt like I was walking around the upper levels of Ceres Station, albeit with full gravity.

    Also got lost. Twice.

  • Would you date someone who worked in the sex industry?

    Jump

  • Everyone's criteria are their own. Who are we to question them, or tell them they're wrong to have them?

    EDIT: But I'd imagine those two would be among the more common ones.

  • Would you date someone who worked in the sex industry?

    Jump

  • No. We clearly have a different view on intimacy.

    People are allowed to have preferences and for many, their partner's choice of work is one of them. Some folks won't date doctors, lawyers, or military personnel. Some won't date bartenders, anyone working in a restaurant, or pilots or flight attendants. The Venn diagram of "occupation" and "occupation someone won't date" is a circle. Sex work is not exempt from that.

  • Axiom Space and Red Hat Bring Data Centers to Low Earth Orbit

    Jump

  • ISS's radiators. It's processing data on the station that would otherwise be transmitted groundside and processed here.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • 17cm/s seems awful low. Is that its speed relative to Didymos?

    Your math ain't inherently wrong though. Without strapping a torch drive on that thing it ain't going anywhere.

  • Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté?

    Jump

  • Or that everyone else is just as horrible as they are, so they'd feel justified in being a sloppy fart of a person.

  • Must be lvl 11 genius

    Jump

  • This is bullshit. I've been staring at it from every angel. They'res no hippo in this picture.

  • Get in the pod, inhale the fumes.

    Jump

  • Your friends are constantly spewing EM radiation at you. So is your home. The trees outside. The very sky. There's no escape. Even if you were to enclose yourself in a Faraday cage and exist in complete darkness, your own body would still be bathing your surroundings in EM radiation that bounces off the cage.
