SysOp, Gamer, Nerd. In no particular order.

  • As Corporate Landlords Spread, a Mold Epidemic Takes Root

    Jump

  • Brazilian here, we have laundry/utility rooms too. They're usually next to the kitchen, to make plumbing easier.

  • Removed

    Not Promoting violence but how does a bomb maker especcialy suicide ones live long live? Kind of seems like the first time you did it you would blow up yourself. And don't find the attraction

    Jump

  • The most famous case of a professional explosive maker blowing himself up must be Alfred Nobel's own brother, Emil, who died on an accident on one of their nitroglycerin plants.

  • Putin’s much-feared ‘Satan 2’ nuclear missile failed 4 out of 5 tests

    Jump

  • All of those happened before the modern safeguards were adopted by the US. We're lucky none of them went super-critical. We just don't know for sure if the Soviet leftovers Russia has were upgraded to the same atandards.

  • Is martial arts really that useful?

    Jump

  • OP need to train for languaging.

  • Short video on why we should block fascists instead of debating them online

    Jump

  • "Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience" - Winston Churchill or Abraham Lincoln (probably)

  • Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating

    Jump

  • That would require arable land, which would affect food production or require devastating wild areas to create new monoculture farms. Both options would come with horrible side-effects for society and/or environment.

  • What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?

    Jump

  • And my bow.

  • Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating

    Jump

  • Same. It was one the worst espressos of my life. Considering that I live in Brazil, the world's largest producers of coffee, that disgusting liquid was like a slap in the face.

  • Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating

    Jump

  • Fuel rationing. You get a certain ammount of fuel per year with no extra taxes on it. If you use above that ammount, you're charged a marginal environment tax.

  • X says it is closing operations in Brazil due to judge's content orders

    Jump

  • Musk has called the Moraes' decisions regarding X "unconstitutional."

    According to which constitution Melon ? You do realize that Brazil is a sovereign country and we have our own constitution right ? You know, the one that has explicit protections against hate speech, discrimination and harassment ?

    Also, do you really think you know more about our constitution than a fucking Supreme Court Minister ?

    You're pathetic, Elmo.

  • Russia Loses Last Black Sea Missile Ship

    Jump

  • According to the open-source intelligence (OSINT) site Molfar, Ukraine has sunk or damaged nearly 60 ships of the Russian Navy.

    How, for fuck sake, Russia managed to lose 60 ships to a country that has NO NAVY ?!?

    Holy! Shit!

  • Bank of America tells Detroit’s Big 3 they can’t make money in China and should just leave the hypercompetitive car market ‘as soon as they possibly can’

    Jump

  • I read this as "We're not competitive on a global market anymore, so let's retreat into an shrinking niche, until we're gone or someone buys us".

    Sure, they can't compete in price, considering Chinese subsidies, but how about competing in the upper market, with quality and sophistication.... Oh, wait... those are US car makers. They wouldn't know quality if it smacked them in the face.

    Well, then. Leave the low end to China and the high end to Germany and Japan then.

  • Fraudsters of Lemmy, how would you commit fraud if governments embrace cryptography

    Jump

  • if you ignore the human element

    And that's you problem right there. The same people that can get tricked into revealing their SN#, mother's maiden name, etc. are the ones who would reveal their private keys to a scammer.

    Fraud is a social problem, technology can assist in managing them, but not solve the issue. In the end, it's all about the human factor.

  • Ukrainian warplane fires weapon at target inside Russia for first time

    Jump

  • Which means Russia has to move assets from other parts of the country to replace the destroyed equipment, creating gaps Ukraine can exploit, This reinforces the idea of how fragile Russia's defenses are

  • Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs?

    Jump

  • Even on ideal conditions (close to the Equator, no clouds) like in Northeast Brazil, you only get 5.5 to 6.0 kWh/m2 of Solar energy, which means the roof of a small car, with 1 m2 of solar panels, would only generate that amount of electricity if they were 100% efficient. That's just 10% of the battery capacity of a small EV, like a BYD Dolphin.

    My point is, even if solar panels doubled their efficiency, they would still only capture about half the energy of the Sun (currently, the best panels are at 24% efficiency), which means only about 2.5 to 3.0 kWh per day.

  • To Fight ‘Shrinkflation’ France Will Force Retailers to Warn Shoppers: Merchants will be required to put signs in front of all products that have been reduced in size without a corresponding price cut

    Jump

  • I was wrong in one thing, it hasn't been a thing for 10 years, but for 20. It was determined by the Minister of Justice, based on article 55 of the Consumer Protection Code. More here. I remember seeing some warnings on labels back when the rule was new. My opinion is that companies got smarter and realized that those warnings were damaging to their brands, so they just stopped with the practice of shrinking products, which is why you never noticed.

  • To Fight ‘Shrinkflation’ France Will Force Retailers to Warn Shoppers: Merchants will be required to put signs in front of all products that have been reduced in size without a corresponding price cut

    Jump

  • This has been the law in Brazil for more than 10 years now. We have lots of problems here, but at least our consumer protection laws are top notch. And, believe or not, they're enforced successfully.

  • Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads

    Jump

  • If too many people do this, you bet "smart" TV peddlers will start bundling cellular modems on their devices, so they can connect directly to their servers without relying on your WiFi, just like car companies do. Blocking this would require enclosing the TV in a Faraday cage.

  • Putin orders development of homegrown Steam Deck-like gaming machines — 100% self-sufficiency goal apparently applies to gaming, too

    Jump

  • Taiwan, not PRC. Mainland China isn't capable of making CPUs and GPUs whith the performance and low power draw needed for a portable console in the volumes necessary. They brute-forced their way into a 7nm process, but it's expensive and low yields, so they're using it only for crypto mining ASICs and Huawei phones.

    To make a console like the Steam Deck, they would need an AMD64 chip on 5nm. Granted, Zhaoxin does have a licence for X86 architecture (inherited from Via, who got it when they bought Cirix), but they're still far from being able to make those in 7 or 5nm.

    Meanwhile, TSMC in Taiwain is already shipping 3nm chips for Apple and soon for AMD too.

    Unless China figures out Extreme UV, like in the ASML machines, or direct stamping, like in recently announced Canon machines, they won't be competitive with Intel, TSMC or Samsung anytime soon.
