Solar storms don't work like that. It's not the movie-like electronics blow up left and right thing. It's quasi-DC currents in the ground thing. What that means is that the power g…

That's where external thermal interface comes in. If docking your phone involves attaching external cooler, then power is no longer an issue.

I'm kinda surprised they go for privacy aspects and customizability. Android is Linux enough for most use cases, and the big problem is just having root access to it and an ability…

I find this seriously confusing too. None of these sound like major, or even all that useful, features, and yet they talk about "considering whether there is any value in a cripple…

> In apartments/flats you are usually parking in a dedicated parking lot More like all over the nearby streets, but i get the idea.

So... that's just "gas station on every corner" model taken to it's extreme, no?

Which will be the job for the same people that put up buildings on block corners, rather than something you do yourself.

Makes it double sad that Chevy Volt got discontinued and no similar designs were made.

Hm, the US tend to have "home" defined as a stand along house with a garage/land plot, which makes it possible to have a charger at home. In most of the world city people live in f…

Predictability, no? Sometimes you want to know how large your data really is if it was to get onto an uncompressed filesystem.

Sure. And it makes a clang as it falls. Can't quite play tetris, however - i start to lose track of the pieces once there are like 5-10 of them.

It's been a while since i've been around that community, and recently i wondered what developed between 2013-ish and now. More specifically, has the recent rise and push for recogn…

And responsibility. For some people that feels like an anchor tied to their neck.

Hm, not at the speed of reading. Takes a bit of slowing down to get some. A complication is that a lot of these are from elementary school geometry books, so i tend to just remembe…

> But I do wonder how much of it is about different uses of words by different people. There are qualitative differences, however. I think a better question would be not how vivid …

It can also have an opposite effect. For me, trying to make a tulpa 10 years ago ended up amplifying my loneliness, as well as placing it front-and-center, impossible to ignore. In…

And that's another reason - gone are the days when code was written in machine language by people looking at bytes, and with it gone the only reason to keep these bytes in human-re…

Unfiltered internet is too annoying to use. Got a Pi-hole equivalent for whole network filtering, and uBlock Origin for the browser.

Seems wrong to me too, but for a different reason - i would expect a better school to not only attract smarter students, but to also be harder. So it should balance out to the same…

> video game consoles Huh? I used to make DIY games as late as early 00s, for GBA, Sega Dreamcast and PS1. Is that no longer possible with modern consoles?

> Many people reading this are too young to remember analog local phone calls, and how the lag from cell phones changed conversations Is there somewhere to read about the changes i…

Even more baffling is that i can't just install a program i wrote myself on a device i own without having to get it signed and have that signature renewed once a week. Like, what's…

I'm really confused by this. Don't debuggers come embedded into any IDE worth using? How could someone start programming this century without access to one?

A side question - does Oculus Quest need accounts and internet to use? I still can't get over Oculus Rift needing an account and an internet connection just to install drivers .

A text file? I tend to just write stuff grouped by category into a text file, with timestamp tags (today is 180717). Nothing i tried was more comfortable and portable than that. St…
