  • Donald Trump pleads for UK to send warships to secure Strait of Hormuz

  • Just one week ago he "truthed":

    The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!

    What? Wasn't already won one week ago, and no help was needed? Now it needs to beg for help?

  • I was wondering why the €40k printer at work was choking with "simple" Canva PDFs

  • The prior-generation ‌Studio Display‌ had 64GB of storage, so the new displays have double the capacity. Apple likely found it more affordable to use existing NAND storage from its iPhone supply chain rather than to invest in smaller modules with less storage. Most of the 128GB is probably unnecessary.

    probably unnecessary

  • Because it is a raster image processor, it rasterizes pages at 1200 DPI CMYK raw files, then applies proprietary color correction profiles, algorithms, imposing booklet and so on.

    I tried a totally blank page, if even 1 mm bigger than 1319 inch (330489 mm) the server crashes and reboots (I presume OOM)

    So when there are one billion vector objects or transparencies, it takes like 1 minute per page

  • Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry

    Jump

  • In Europe the price it's not that appealing, it's €699 and because they "care about environment 😉" the €99 charger (which is almost mandatory for a new user) is sold separately.

    At €798 for 256g/8g it's not as good as the $599 they're selling in the US.

    If someone is price sensitive, can get 3-4 refurbished ThinkPads with better specs for that price and run Linux much easier without hoping on some volunteer wizard to reverse engineer the proprietary components

  • Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing

    Jump

  • I saw an unboxing for a TV for a Chinese market and it refused to start until the owner paired it with a Chinese phone otp for "age verification" 😉

  • "US Person": is a red flag for financial institutions in Europe

    Jump

  • It's not because they banned us citizens. It's because the us government is one of the few ones that wants to tax stuff that their citizens earned in other countries, so banks and similar they need to report wealth and income to the government

    The checkbox isn't "if you're American we can't offer you services", when you select that, then you have an extra form to fill, that's it

  • Warship in a mined strait risk transforming in a single use submarine

    Jump

  • It's pretty much unbelievable that a country would accidentally hit their own civilian target while, for some reason, is trying to hit their own military target that's next to it

    And "accidentally" targeting schools and hospitals is the modus operandi of the IOF, which probably gave the intel on the structure

  • System76 tries to talk Colorado down over OS age checks

  • Facebook is lobbying them so they don't have to do age checks on Instagram and can maximize the revenue

  • Israel Illegally Using White Phosphorus Against Civilians in Lebanon: Human Rights Watch

    Jump

  • I compared what happened when those rich students died in the Crans Montana fire (full coverage on all channels for three weeks) vs the genocide in Sudan (briefly mentioned during the Sunday night special at 2 am)

    Still now, after three months, the news around the investigation of the Crans Montana fire take more time than the genocide in Gaza

  • The vehicle is only for showing off and definitely not designed for real off-road use, but the driver caused most of the water damage by entering the flood at such high speed. You're not supposed to wade at 20 mph unless you're in a hovercraft

  • Really, it's too slow. The 40 mins episodes could be condensed in 5 minutes shorts.

    I rage quit during an episode where Kim Wexler asked "do you want a cup of tea?" And then proceeded of preparing it in FUCKING REAL TIME!!

    Ok, it's more cinematic, but usually when they do this they just take a cup prefilled behind the counter and move on, don't need to show the whole process. Ok, probably it's intentional, to show the detail how how empty and lonely were the cupboards but...

    So, for me it's too slow to be watched with full attention but at the same time there are too many important details that are shown "silently" to be watched while doing errands or something else

  • That's because western countries don't care about poor brown people.

    When Iran attacked Dubai and the rich tourists the situation changed dramatically. Media showing all those rich inconvenienced people crying "I'm forced stuck in this luxury hotel for who knows how many days 😢 😭 😢 😭" while not even mentioning the four "peasants" from Pakistan and Nepal that were killed in the attacks

  • Illegal? But those rules don't apply to them. See the settlements, the execution of kids, bombing of civilian targets and so on. All completely legal and authorized by most western countries

  • That is supposed to be even with Microsoft office, because it changes the fonts without warning and adjusts the margins according to the default printer. It's not a format designed to be shared with other people
