  • Well, we could also stop adding a certain percentage of biofuel to our cars. The land that we gain from that, if covered by solar panels, would produce enough energy to cover all our energy demand.

  • Guess I wasn't to stupid to fix the tube after all...

    Jump

  • Well. It’s more that a rim will almost never fail in this way when overpressuring your tires (the sides are more likely to fail) and 4.5 bar is nowhere close to overpressure for an aluminum ryde rim. Salt can corrode aluminum yes. A more common occurrence is people riding their bike on a hometrainer and the handlebars breaking due to the corrosion caused by the sweat from their hands.

  • Wait how much pressure are we talking about? Looks more like corrosion of some kind. Were you riding tubeless? Or seeing a lot of salt.

  • tire prulessure

    Jump

  • The fact is that pressure is force per unit of surface. So your car tires are holding in a lot more force than your bike tires, even though the pressure is lower.

  • Steam Frame needs 27-45W of power to run, and it can run off an additional battery

  • Thank you for this. I understand your point, learned a few things and admire your energy. I hope your frustrations are superficial and don’t impact your general mental well being… Cheers :)

  • Aluminum is not a naturally occurring metal however, but I do get your point. Never knew we received so much already.

    Jump

  • No starlink is bad. It’s currently deorbiting 1-2 satellites a day, which means half a ton of aluminum and other metals burnt up in the atmosphere. Current ambition mean they will need to start deorbiting 3-5 satellites per day.

    We don’t know yet what ecological impact this will have. But I’m having a hard time accepting such wasteful energy and material consumption.

  • WHERE ARE MY PRECISION SCREWDRIVERS

    Jump

  • In wood yes. But please keep them off my bike. You suddenly really start to enjoy the ball end of your Allen keys when working in tight spots and torx has none of that (and some brand are starting to use more and more torx on their models)

  • A free, sovereign and GDPR-compliant recursive DNS resolver with a strong focus on security to protect the citizens and organizations of the European Union.

    Jump

  • You can see a DNS server as a phone book for your computer. Your computer needs to seek a connection to an ip address to display a website for example. But you as a user only knows the url of the website. So your computers asks the dns server which ip address it should go to.

  • Bike-loving Dutch grapple with illegal electric 'fatbike' craze gripping the Netherlands

    Jump

  • The problem the government faces is how to make a distinction between moped and a classic e-bike. Because from the factory there is no real difference apart from “oh it looks a bit like a moped”. My vote goes to setting the minimum age for assisted riding at 16 (except medical reasons) or at least obligating having a helmet under the age of 18 (to protect their poor undeveloped brains). Which will immediately kill the attraction which is to ride a moped without helmet. The real challenge is regulating e-bike unlocking in general (as well as adding a throttle). Which is hard because the electronics can quickly be set back to factory with a click of a button.

    Jump

  • There is a link to the article without paywall somewhere in the comments, but yes, the image is a wrong one (or actually a real, non electric mtb fatbike). The “fatbikes” we have here in the Netherlands look like this:

    Jump

  • Well they were. But these fatbikes bring them on par, with a throttle instead of having to pedal, a riding stance similar a scooter and an unlocked speed limit.

  • While I do agree some jobs are easier than others, those still require a human to do the work, so that human should be able to live from doing that job.

    What games do you recommend for my girlfriend?

  • Android now lets you transfer eSIMs between your phones

    Jump

  • Well, on the other hand, do you just understand how simple cards work? I for sure don’t and I don’t see why I would need a chip from my provider to access it’s services, if I can get a digital key instead.

    My QM portafilter was slowly vibrating off the support fork of my Eureka Mignion Specialita. So I did my first mod…

  • Beeper reverse-engineered iMessage to bring blue bubble texts to Android users

    Jump

  • Yeah, sorry, I got confused. Beeper mini does need servers to keep the notification service alive. And thus not crazy to ask for 2$ a month. Beeper cloud could indeed do without servers I guess, but I don’t know anything about that. I was just keeping up with the development of pypush (the python poc) and reverse engineering progress.

    I don’t understand your point of “you have to log in with a google account”. I understood that was a requirement to check subscription status (and as such limit fraudulent apk’s).

    But that seems to be a different story than “opensourcing this would mean a competitor could do it for free”.

    You can already do this for free with pypush. And if you want to use something else then python you could build something based on it with any language as pypush is completely open source.
