  • The MSI mini-PC-s for office/business use have separate TPM modules on their mobos. I wouldn't be surprised if other mfg-s do this too.

  • Vivaldi has had local translation for about half a year now. No need for LLM for this feature.

  • Winamp hasn't changed, but Foobar2000 and its plugins have only got better over the years.

  • How’s that for a business model: give the customer what they want?

    They're doing just that, alright.

    But people buying the products are not the customers of these big publicly traded companies.

  • One thing I've learned about stainless steel is it's stain less, not stain proof. It will rust in humid environments, it'll just do it slower than carbon steel.

  • Prime example that for a publicly traded company the people buying the products are not customers for whom to create value, but a resource to extract value from.

    Shareholders are the real customers for whom they create value.

  • It all comes down to the size of the mirror/lense—the bigger, the better. Up to a point. The biggest problem is air currents and different air densities refracting light and distorting the image. That's what these laser beams are for on photos taken of astronomical observatories—they give reference light spot that can be used to calibrate adaptive optics to current atmospheric conditions reducing distortion.

  • What we know about drones is that they have cameras that can discern individuals from 10 km altitude.

    What we suspect is that US has Hubble-sized spy satellites that can do almost the same. There were a lot of classified military STS missions.

    What is theoretically possible is that US drones and spy sats can function as very large arrays (we do this with astronomical telescopes already) to dramatically increase spatial resolution.

  • That's pretty much like Wild Weasel SEAD works. Get locked on by a SAM radar, lock your HAARM to that radar's signal and press fire🙂

  • Unless it's locally hosted, doesn't scan every single file on my storage and doesn't send everything I do with it to the manufacturer's server.

  • Everyone's seen it, everyone's done it, what's to hide?

  • Wouldn't any off the shelf temperature+humidity sensor work? I use Sonoff and Aqara ones with Sonoff Zigbee coordinator and Zigbee2MQTT, both are somewhere around 15€ a pop, integrate painlessly and do the job. Aqara is a bit smaller and has air pressure sensor, too.

  • Set up Tailscale as exit node to your local network.

    Make sure that your network is not standard 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x IP address range, but something like 192.168.101.x so you don't have IP conflicts when accessing from a friend's house or workplace wifi.

    Set up Nginx to redirect your home server IP (eg. 192.168.101.5) to the correct port for your dashboard like Heimdall or Dashy.

    That's it. Works like a charm for me if set up this way.

    Addendum: if you have trouble on Android, disable MagicDNS.

  • Heh, I always find someone pushing 30 km/h with one's own muscles, not caring about weather going through rain, cold and heatwaves while carrying what they need to carry far more hardcore (won't use the word "masculine" because people of any gender do this) than someone sitting in a heated seat in climate-controlled box that moves forward without any effort from the user and not even requiring significant driving skills in the age of automatic transmission, traction control and all the other electronic assists (ABS is fine and recommended)🙃

  • There are some, but I'm not willing to install a random ROM from who-knows-where breaking who-knows-what functionality on my only phone.

  • They are. Pixels are also good for longevity and alternate ROM-s.

    The problem is budget phones—people who can't afford to pay 600€ for a phone are left with devices that are obsolete in 2 years and no custom ROM-s even when the bootloader can be unlocked. The ROM community mostly consists of enthusiasts who are generally not interested in budget devices.

    Case in point: my Poco X4 Pro. Excellent hardware (5G, 120Hz OLED, headphone out and SD card slot, IR blaster), cost me only 300€, but no LineageOS, CalyxOS or /e/ OS support unlike the older X3 Pro because it was not as popular among the enthusiasts.

    Second-hand market is also very situational, eg in my country Pixel phones are not popular and thus the second-hand market is filled with mostly Samsung and some iPhones.

  • Who needs more than 20HP anyway?

    20 hursepurses is maybe pushing it, but 30 to 50 kW would actually be plenty if we kept our cars lightweight and aerodynamically efficient instead of insisting on 3-ton ugly boxes with the frontal area of a house.

    Hell, for a single-person lightweight (40 kg empty weight) electrical vehicle that is expected to go no faster than 30 km/h (often legally limited to 25km/h here in EU) and requires no license to operate, 250 to 300 W is more than enough.

    Lotus had it right.
