  • Steam Machine – Powerful Enough?

    Jump

  • I think somewhere close to $500 is around the zone they should target the base model. It's in the console price zone. At that price, the specs are pretty decent.

  • Canadians are betting record sums online — and falling in debt. Here's how to dig out

    Jump

  • Invest in online gaming? Maybe the real gamble was the investments we made along the way.

  • Carney deepfake ads on YouTube

    Jump

  • I think I've reported 4 different versions of these ads. They look pretty near identical for the little bit I watch before I report, but the advertiser is always different, but also based in Poland.

  • Have you changed you youtube pfp to clippy ?

    Jump

  • I think the Reddit blackout did a lot, just not everything. I'm here on Lemmy because of it. Granted I'm still on Reddit as well, and Mastodon, and Xitter...

    Just keep plugging along, and every little bit helps.

  • I Hacked Monster Energy and You Won't Believe What They Think You Look Like: The Energy Drink Giant That Forgot to Lock Its Doors

    Jump

  • Monster Green shoppers are likely younger (Gen-Z/Millennial/Gen-X) male, lower income & Caucasian (skews Hispanic).

    As an aging member of Gen-X, I appreciate this description.

  • There Was a Time Canada Really Did Build, Baby, Build

    Jump

  • Inspiring story, can we be like that again?

    So much of the extra costs of building seems to be endless rounds of reviews and revisions. Sure, building things better is… better, but we've seen this process hijacked by NIMBY's (IMHO).

  • Metadata on typewriters?

  • Hmm, what sort of crimes could I do with an old Okidata dot-matrix printer?

  • Election Day Discussion thread [Monday April 28]

    Jump

  • Generously, Trump put him in a bind. On the one hand around a third of his supporters would be down with being the 51st state, or are at least fans of what Trump is doing. If he came out too hard against Trump, he could have bled support to the PPC,

    Ironically, electoral reform would save the Conservative Party. It would probably split back into a more PC style centre-right party and a more populist Reform style party. I think an old Joe Clark style PC leader could have done better, but with ⅓ of the modern CPC Qonvoy supporting Trumpians, I don't know that they could elect one. If they did, it would be Erin O'Toole all over again.

  • Right-wing media including Rebel News dominate post-debate news conferences

    Jump

  • Four journalists had an opportunity to ask a question and follow-up of Carney. Only two were real journalists, and the difference was telling.

    • Q1a: Missed original identification and question, but apparently what budget cut will be made to make room for promised investments?
    • Q1b: where is the $500 billion coming from.
    • Q2a: Juno news: Was Justin Trudeau a good Prime Minister?
    • Q2b: How you reconcile (working with former LPC members who were part of Trudeau's government)? The "odd" question.
    • Q3a: Canadian Press: New immigration targets?
    • Q3b: Pipelines take years, how does that protect Canadian sovereignty?
    • Q4a: True North: "How many genders are there?"
    • Q4b: Do biological women have a right to their own spaces?

  • Mythbusters did this with coffee whitener as I recall. Impressive.

    This has also happened to sawmills and flour mills, under less controlled circumstances.

  • You Can Remove DRM From Your Digital Books, but It's Probably Illegal

    Jump

  • Always comes to mind. Why buy it if you need to crack the DRM someday and become a criminal? Just pirate it in the first place.

  • BYD announces charging tech that’s twice as fast as Tesla’s

    Jump

  • In theory, higher voltage × lower amps = same power (W=V×A, you can double V and halve A and get the same power). Or in this case, double the double the voltage, same current, double the power maybe?

    There is still some voodoo happening with the batteries to be able to take the charge so quickly. More battery cells charging in parallel is probably part of it, but it couldn't be all of it.

    Really tough to speculate off of this thin announcement.

  • Least extreme biophysics phd

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure that 80% if what we learned from the Nazi/Imperial Japan super unethical experiments was "what can a psychotic doctor justify in order to have an excuse to torture people to death."

    Maybe 20% was arguably useful, and most of that could have been researched ethically with other methods.

  • Made the Eros comparison just a few comments above!

    They were dead anyways (thanks to Protogen releasing the protomolecule), the real tragedy would be to let their deaths be in vain…

    Update: Mining crypto to heat my 1 bedroom flat

    Jump

  • That's kind of what I was thinking.

    I used to run Folding@Home, as well as others, as a screensaver. It's been a while, but I think you had some control of how hard to work the computer. As someone who regularly works with 30 year old computers that run 24/7, it seems weird to kill a GPU by running it,but if it runs cooler maybe it will last longer? Although that defeats the purpose kind of.

    Now you need to use the money you saved and the $15 in crypto to buy two identical computers, then run one flat out and the other at around 50% and see how long they last. Report back every couple of years.

    Excuse me while I look at extreme uptime posts.

  • I hate this image because idiots will see it, not understand what its showing, and make up some crazy shit based on it.

    Jump

  • That's what I'm assuming the original diagram is showing, the "Observable Universe" in some sort of radically increasing scale.

    Jump

  • I think the association came from emulation. IIRC, you can sometimes play Colecovision ROMS with the MSX emulator in RetroArch, although it's been a while since I dealt with this.
