  • USB C? You mean USA C?

  • The US federal government by law has to follow what names the United States Board on Geographic Names tells them to, and the executive order demanded they change it. He could have changed it to the Gulf of the King Donald Trump That Had Absolutely Nothing To Do With Epstein Honest, and that would officially be the name for it every US federal employee would have to use.

    Nobody else has to use it though, but most companies follow what each local government says to not have issues with borders and stuff.

  • Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits

  • Hmmh, could be, though both are "from the factory", the winter/summer tires are slightly different sizes. But the allowed error in the EU overall (or at least in Finland) is 10% +4km/h, so it's still well withing "spec".

  • A royal scandal magnet reaches the end of the line as Prince Andrew gives up his titles

  • Prince of being the child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

    Andrew still retains the title “prince,” bestowed on him at birth as the son of the then reigning monarch.

  • If it didn't, it would be pretty damn annoying as cars always show higher than actual speed. I've had to set our BMW to do +8km/h so that it actually does 120km/h on GPS and not 112.

  • Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger

    跳过

  • If they are built to spec, then it should be trivial for the manufacturers to make a legal version for those who want one, no? They could still keep selling the other version too, it would literally be the same vehicle after all, one would just have the required papers.

  • The c64 actually did have game cartridges, but be it tape, cartridge, floppy, cd - in the emulation space, ROM (Read-Only Memory) just generally means the file with the game data no matter the medium.

    But technically, it's a ROM only if it truly is a dump of an actual ROM chip.

  • Because they are illegal mopeds. Manufacturing them is cheaper when they don't have to use money to pass any of the safety regulations and requirements of actual mopeds.

  • Full list of areas in the UK targeted in ‘dodgy’ Fire TV stick crackdown

    跳过

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_detector_van

    You can't really detect "TV signals", but you can quite easily detect the 10.125 kHz horizontal line-scanning deflection coil of a CRT. Though I'm fairly sure even if they did originally start effective back in the 1950's because people had very few elecronic devices around, actually detecting anything accurately must have been increasingly difficult as time went on, and a lot of the newer models must have been more about being a scare tactic.

  • President Madagascar, you were supposed to shut down everything, not flee.

  • After layoffs, cancellations, and controversy, ZA/UM UK staff unionise as the Workers' Alliance

  • "I think the workers at ZA/UM all agree that we have something unique at the studio that we want to preserve for years to come." Marketing manager Poppy Ingham handles social and communications for the studio behind politics-laden RPG Disco Elysium.

    The studio behind it technically, yes. They did kick out the main people responsible for Disco Elysium few years back after tons of drama and massive legal kerfuffle though.

  • Prusa3D Core One assembled from kit in roughly 36 hours

    跳过

  • The assembly instructions PDF is 210 pages long.

    If you own a 3d printer, imagine entirely disassembling it: take out every single screw, nut, bracket, motor, pcb, wire, bearing, belt, panel - literally everything to as individual component as possible - and put them all in a box. That box is what Prusa sends you when you buy a kit.

  • What Is Going on with All This Radioactive Shrimp?

    跳过

  • My favourite example of not having basic understanding is the Lia radiological incident.

    Three men from Lia (later designated as patients 1-DN, 2-MG, and 3-MB by the IAEA) had driven 45–50 km (28–31 mi) to a forest overlooking the Enguri Dam reservoir to gather firewood. They drove up a nearly impassable road in snowy winter weather, and discovered two canisters at around 6 pm. Around the canisters there was no snow for about a 1 m (3.3 ft) radius, and the ground was steaming. Patient 3-MB picked up one of the canisters and immediately dropped it, as it was very hot. Deciding that it was too late to drive back, and realizing the apparent utility of the devices as heat sources, the men decided to move the sources a short distance and make camp around them. Patient 3-MB used a stout wire to pick up one source and carried it to a rocky outcrop that would provide shelter. The other patients lit a fire, and then patients 3-MB and 2-MG worked together to move the other source under the outcrop. They ate dinner and had a small amount of vodka, while remaining close to the sources. Despite the small amount of alcohol, they all vomited soon after consuming it, the first sign of acute radiation syndrome (ARS), about three hours after first exposure. Vomiting was severe and lasted through the night, leading to little sleep. The men used the sources to keep them warm through the night, positioning them against their backs, and as close as 10 cm (3.9 in). The next day, the sources may have been hung from the backs of Patient 1-DN and 2-MG as they loaded wood onto their truck. They felt very exhausted in the morning and only loaded half the wood they intended. They returned home that evening.

    If you find a strange grey canister in the middle of the woods that has somehow melted the snow around it and is steaming hot for no reason, don't fucking touch it.

    ....but we all know in our hearts that if we didn't have prior understanding of these thing, all of us would totally go touch the mystical heat canister.

  • Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal

    跳过

  • There's one exception - when they are self-sufficient, or even net positive, with renewables.One example is the Google datacenter in Hamina, Finland. They build it in an old unused paper mill, built their own renewables (3/4ths of their required at this point), and they use the cooling loop for district heating for the city. That extra heat provides around 75% of the required heating, meaning the city could stop relying on their old natural gas heaters so now the district heating runs on renewables as well.

    It's easy to be an energy neutral datacenter, simply pour enough money to building new renewables that wouldn't have been built without your contributions, and you don't tax the power grid.

  • Former Finnish Prime Minister Calls for Four-Day Workweek: More Time with Family

  • Oh if the Gulf Stream stops we are totally fucked - Finland is almost exactly at the same latitude the Northwest Territories of Canada. The capital of Finland would basically get Yellowknife type temperatures, and that would essentially be the warmest place in the entire country.

    If that ever happens I'm just going to kalsarikänni myself to death in the snowbank.

  • I'm sad to announce that climate change has arrived here too.

    But for the guy bothered by snow, great news, winters in the southern Finland, especially in the coast, have mostly turned to just a 5 month long wet and windy autumns instead!
