  • Is there anyplace online where I can buy A19 100W incandescent bulbs, and have them shipped to the U.S.? (I know they're banned here.)

    Jump

  • Seriously. I typed in "A19 100W incandescent bulb" and the whole page is.....exactly that.

    Now, I'm not sure why you would want to waste power like that. Main use for incandescent bulbs at this point is for oven lights as they can withstand the heat.

  • After Xbox and Windows, now GITHUB is in crisis, "failing me, every single day, and it is personal"

    Jump

  • They probably could have put a few MS ads on the website for Azure or w/e and actually made a profit. Otherwise, they could have just left it alone, it wasn't hurting or competing with them.

  • How does a ~20% reduction in oil supply translate to a ~60% increase in price?

    Jump

  • Oil products have highly inelastic demand. Most uses for it don't decrease much when prices change. You still drive to work, trucks still deliver goods, furnaces still heat buildings, etc. There are only marginal cases where people can reduce usage: optional trips, driving instead of flying, things of this nature. Because of how marginal these uses are compared to the more mandatory ones, demand does not respond strongly to price changes. Therefore, prices change significantly more quickly.

    Edit: Demand destruction is a thing, however. Maybe you buy a hybrid or a factory closes. No matter what happens with oil prices next year, that factory is still closed and you are still driving the more gas efficient hybrid.

  • United Arab Emirates to quit oil cartel Opec

    Jump

  • The US has been a massive oil producer ever since the oil crisis in the 70s when we said 'never again'. Ever since then, OPEC has been declining in strength. This, even if it is a one-off, is a huge blow to their power, and puts them significantly closer to functionally irrelevant.

    The entire point of the cartel is to coordinate supply restrictions to jack up the price of oil. But with the US, EU, Canada, and now UAE able to take advantage of their slowdown and just pump pump pumping, OPEC is the least relavent it has ever been. Guyana coming increasingly online in the next years and Venezuela coming back online will both be large blows to the cartel as well.

  • When you finally play a game beloved by most gamers, but you don't enjoy it at all

    Jump

  • You would probably click quite a bit more with Factorio then.

    Actually, I wonder if that is why Satisfactory wasn't clicking for me. Since I kept making stuff to feed into the big box.

  • Microsoft Teams users are extremely angry at new banner asking them to pay

    Jump

  • I have also found that self-hosting, even with your own hardware, is significantly cheaper than the premium cloud hosting (AWS, etc). We priced out a VM server at my company and we found we could rebuy the hardware for it every FIVE months, just from the cloud hosting costs. And that is if we were decently disciplined about turning VMs on and off every day (which we all knew was a fantasy).

    That caused us to strike out the premium providers. Leaving us with the non-premium ones (Digital Ocean, etc), co-locating, or in-house hosting.

  • Yeah, it's fucking ridiculous that a corporate account has a user-upsell ad/button one MUST hit to access the basic settings for the program.

  • Tuapse, the result of Magyar's sanctions. 28.04.26

    Jump

  • Tuapse is one of Russia's largest oil refineries and export terminals. Ukriane has hit it several times over the last two weeks; basically whenever Russia manages to put the fires out, Ukraine hits another previously-unmolested part of the terminal. Tuapse has been burning hard enough there are videos of oil raining down on everything in the area.

    'Magyar's sanctions' is a mashup of Magyar's Birds, a Ukranian group that is well-known for their drone warfare, and kinetic sanctions, ie blowing shit up so they can't sell it.

  • Good question

    Jump

  • The part near the start about things not being permanent. We can get back to that, people simply need to collectively get over the fact that people do dumb shit sometimes. We, as a society, used to know this. You would get ragged on for a bit, then it was simply a funny story years later you and your friends re-tell while you laugh at how dumb you all were.

    We also forgot one should not use their real name online. That is still the biggest WTF to me.

  • Microsoft finally agrees Windows 11 has problems, and K2 is its plan to fix them, claims report

    Jump

  • That's what they said a month ago, then they decided that 'remove copilot from notepad' meant 'rename copilot in notepad'.

  • Framework claims Dell is trying to derail Framework's marketing by sending influencers Dell XPS laptops

    Jump

  • Just bought a Framework 16 this past week after having a Framework 13 for awhile. Real happy with both. :)

  • Without posting any personal information, what's the oldest card or other thing you still keep in your wallet or purse, that you don't even need anymore?

    Jump

  • Hey, at least your auto-repair card is getting used for auto-repair!

    Mine is a shooting range membership card I haven't been a member of for a few years now. (Just throwing this out now, thank you for the reminder!)

  • Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches

    Jump

  • I know for my own needs, more than a few hours of battery life is wasted on me. If I'm using a computer for literally the entire day, there is power available.

    Framework 13 Pro's 20 hours of battery life while streaming video is damn impressive though.

  • MS Office works in a browser, and LibreOffice opens Word/Powerpoint files just fine. Been using LibreOffice for years while my coworkers send me files made with MS Office. It's simply not a blocker.

  • Expecting driverless taxis to respect bike lanes “too high a bar”

    Jump

  • Okay, so they are not road worthy then and must be prohibited from driving. It is that simple, or at least, it should be.

    This is one of the reasons they only operate in a few places. Lots of jurisdictions would be more than happy to ticket and impound these cars when they fail to follow the law. Lots of revenue generation!

  • Trump administration reclassifying cannabis to Schedule III substance

    Jump

  • This opens cannabis for medial purposes; you now aren't breaking federal law when filling your prescription. That is a pretty big deal.
