  • Is this true about Generation gap in Piracy?

  • I've tried watching it about 5 times and get to different points before I burn out.

    It has sparked an interest in the works of R.D. Laing for who Lain is named in reference to.

    A Psychologist who was active in the 60's and is famous for their work with schizophrenics; I've been curious if their work may give a bit more context to understand Serial Experiments Lain

  • My mum's a child psychotherapist, from her perspective medication aught not to be the first thing people jump at, but it very much has it's place; an example being children with ADHD who literally cannot sit down to the point of them getting distressed, actually being able to sit down and engage with therapy after starting medication. Similar things with anxiety and depression, if anxiety holds you back from opening up and personal thoughts and feelings then medication can enable that for therapeutic work to begin.

    The bigger issue she has is when people (often parents) only want the medication but don't want to try and engage with the therapy.

    Just something to think about

  • This little gadget to find out which type of USB-C cable you have

  • Huh, same here, that's odd

  • Dark patterns are everywhere

  • I'm honestly surprised no-one has built an extension to automatically opt out of them, or at least the major cookie providers interfaces.

    I realise there are many extensions which outright block cookies, etc; I'm meaning specifically the annoying dialogues you describe

  • 'Botched insulation means mushrooms grow on my walls'

    Jump

  • My brother in Christ, how much do you know about housing? Renovations? Insulation? Mycology?

    The standard that likely had not been followed was ensuring that the property was watertight to begin with.

    The dry rot that is spreading through their house is effectively going to condemn it.

    Your take of "hurdur, how hard could it be to do some insulation? you glue on the boards, mesh and render" is asinine at best.

    Lots of these companies didn't do their due diligence to ensure the suitability of the properties before installing.

    Which then disproportionately effects people who are less likely to be able to afford repairs due to them already being on very limited lower incomes, the exact reason why they are getting this work done via these schemes.

    I took wouldn't want to trust the same company that put me into that position to be the one to rectify it.

  • HP drain

    Jump

  • If you really want that passive poison effect, you need to get fiestaware: bright orange/yellow ceramics where the concentration of uranium is way higher and it's used as the glaze!

    It's known to leech into acidic foods, such as tomato sauces with pasta.

    I also feel like we can also add antique top hats to this; I recently found out that my grandfather's childhood top hat, which I used to play with all the time growing up, contains mercury nitrate

  • Stem cells reverse woman’s diabetes — a world first

    Jump

  • Are you meaning because people are excited about "fusion" being a possible future energy source, whereas when they here "nuclear" their minds immediately go to weapons and fission accidents and pollution?

  • Can chargers really damage your smartphone?

    Jump

  • My friend has so far fried 4 or 5 steamdecks, ROG Ally and two power banks before he took my advice to buy a type c cable tester and to stop using any charger that didn't come with the device until he could test them.

    Turned out it was a damaged cable, I think it was a CC line was no longer working.

    I've had a couple of cheaper Chinese type c and usb A multi port chargers fail; I manage to fry like 3 sex toys before I realised the type A ports were outputting 12v, and at some point something went wrong and the type c fried my phone (which I guess is on me for continuing to use the charger after the issue with the type A ports)

  • [newbie] Does one need special drivers for running 3D printers?

    Jump

  • +1 for prusa if you want to spend more and get something that just works with no fuss, if you're wanting to go cheap&cheerful an Ender 3 will be a good option as well if you don't mind the occasional bit of tinkering for about half the price, as it's probably one of the most supported printers by the community and newer ones come with Auto bed leveling and half of the fancy stuff you had to add on back in the day.

    I'd spend any money saved building/buying an enclosure and something to run octoprint with (Raspberry pi or a spare android phone)

  • The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it.

    Jump

  • They don't necessarily require a starter explosive, certain types do of course. It's more about overcoming the initial energy required, for example the arc from an electric arc lighter could probably overcome that requirement in a lot of scenarios.

  • reskined mine sx-70

    Jump

  • For the texture/pattern around the edges where the squares are cut off; I would either remove them or taper them down towards the edges, so they are less likely to catch and eventually pull away.

    Otherwise, this is a very cool idea that I'd like to see updates on!

  • Hi i am a complete noob who want to get into torrenting and piracy in general can people here help??

    Jump

  • The linked app Stremio will work on android, you just download the apk directly as it's not on available on Fdroid, the add-on will work with android and VPNs work on android either natively or via there own app, depends on who your VPN provider is.

  • Hi i am a complete noob who want to get into torrenting and piracy in general can people here help??

    Jump

  • I'd suggest using a VPN, if you're in a first works country, basically torrenting can be recorded by your ISP/movie studios etc, whereas streaming typically won't be

    Most VPNs typically will have a desktop app (if using windows) that you can use to make sure it's on and functional etc (and can even force apps to not be able to torrent when its turned off)

    If you live in a 3rd world country don't worry about the VPN

    Beyond that, what you want is in terms of simplicity is something like Stremio with the torrentio add-on installed, this will allow Stremio to find torrents for whatever you want to watch, you can select quality, language, etc with it. It'll work for film and TV.

    Install Stremio and then install Torrentio

    You can download the apk from the website below: Apk here: https://www.stremio.com/downloads Add-on for Stremio here: https://torrentio.strem.fun/

  • Suspected Chinese operatives using AI-generated images to spread disinformation among US voters, Microsoft says | CNN Politics

    Jump

  • I find it interesting how it appeared clear in 2016 US election that Reddit for example was being a target of Russian interference, (alongside other places like Facebook and Britain during Brexit), even with Russia in a weakened state China appears to have seen what was being done as valuable and taken up the task

    The playbook always seems to be to stoke wedge issues, including funding groups on both sides of the political isle; funding the NRA and BLM seems to be two of the most common examples. The reality being that the amount of disruption and destabilisation that is achieved, it must be that these governments must see it as good value for their money.

  • Last night we said goodbye to the Goddess Athena, my 17 year old kitten. She is on Olympus now.

  • Sorry for your loss, she looks a very determined individual in the first picture

  • First planned small nuclear reactor plant in the US has been canceled

    Jump

  • I mean you can vary it pretty significantly depending on the reactor type, but even if you couldn't you can still put the energy to work in alternative ways, such as pumping water up into reservoirs/damns to generate energy at other points, or using the excess energy to split water. There are many ways to use excess energy.

  • What would be the best spyware free smart watch?

    Jump

  • It can get up to 4 weeks, though my experience is closer to 4 days to a couple of weeks, I think it depends heavily on what apps you're using, how much you're moving about and how much stuff you're installing

  • What would be the best spyware free smart watch?

    Jump

  • Personally this has been the most feature rich/open source one I could find, and it's what I ended up going for, there's an opensource app store, direct integration with gadgetbridge, a decent always on display much like the amazfit bip S, which also means a long battery life.

  • Largest Farm to Grow Crops Under Solar Panels Proves To Be A Bumper Crop For Agrivoltaic Land Use

    Jump

  • This is one that seriously gets me as to why we don't do this more, it would make so much sense. Obvious benefits are power generation, but also when you consider, it would significantly reduce how scorching hot large carparks get in the sun, depending on the style of the solar canopy being built it could also massively reduce the amount of water flow onto the ground reducing some wear on the tarmac in addition to some hazards.

    Also for places like the UK where we typically don't have huge amounts/extended periods of snow, as long as the canopy is sufficiently designed for the additional weight, you could ameliorate the need to salt the car parks, once again increasing the life of the tarmac.

    It would also keep people's cars much cooler, in the sun, and make things generally a lot cooler below the canopy.
