MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.2022 to 09.11.20236·2 years agoAlmost 40 artillery units destroyed?! I really hope that russia is going to finally grind itself down with this stupid endeavour.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•The next frontier in IP parasites: codec royalties on content.3·2 years agoReiterating why I find so many magazine to be trash nowadays.
Overly set up for SEO, poorly researched and often just crammed with shitty ads. That they completely neglected the formats used by pirating and home content speaks volumes.
That’s why I now often prefer to just look up stuff on enthusiast forums, Reddit or to some extent Lemmy. The last hasn’t gotten as good of an integration with search engines.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•What the engineers of the 14th OMBr invented and are doing brings a lot of trouble to the enemy.7·2 years agoThose motors are just incredible. That they can haul a drone of this small size while carrying a heavy round t speed without melting is just mad.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Windows CE, Microsoft’s stunted middle child, reaches end of support at 26 years17·2 years agoI’m not sure about ATMs, they often ran OS/2.
Windows CE often ran media centres or UI panels in things like John Deere tractors or the Fiat 500.
It was also the OS that ran the Dreamcasts UI.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Brave1 developers created a ground-based kamikaze robot "Ratel S" for the Ukrainian military. It can carry anti-tank mines at a speed of 24 km/h, with a range of 6 km.1·2 years agoNot sure what’s scarier, a the sound of a little terror drone before an explosion. Or the silence, the feeling of security that there’s nothing on a recently cleared path and then seeing my mates vehicle blow up.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•It has truely been a non credible dayEnglish5·2 years agoVery important russian airfield attacked. The air defence can’t do s#1t about it and all that’s needed are a few missiles from the 90s!
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•rapid airborne deployable folding-wing 3D-printed attritable munitions carriersEnglish10·2 years agoThat guy builds drones like no-one else’s business.
I wish Australia and more countries would invest into small businesses that can build these kind of drones.
The cost to to effectiveness ratio of these is just insane. Ukraine has proven the effectiveness of loitering munitions.
Edit: Fixed typo and grammar.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•The wreckage of an ATACMS MGM-140A missile in Berdiansk3·2 years agoYup. One issue from long storage is that the fuel in solid fuel rockets can start to separate. Ryan McBeth did an explanation on a possible cause on that AA missile failure.
As you mentioned, some explosives also become unpredictable. The Takata airbags sending shrapnel into drivers faces comes to mind.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•The wreckage of an ATACMS MGM-140A missile in Berdiansk3·2 years agoI suspect the failure rate goes up. Have you seen the video of the Russian AA missile pretending to be a boomerang 🪃 and flying back to its launch point?
That’s what can happen with old rockets.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•War in Ukraine Latest: Putin Claims Avdiivka Success, Evidence Suggests Otherwise3·2 years agoSuccessful denazification and demilitrization
Of Russians.
Not quite the Ukrainians changing focus. Russia launched a big assault on Avdiivka.
A lot of that is equipment that russia sent into the meat grinder.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Microsoft might want to be making Windows 12 a subscription OS, suggests leak1·2 years agoThanks for looking into it. It’s just standard TA with mods. I’m sure it can be made to run even more if you buy the steam version.
Linus mentioned in one interview that Steam does amazing work for Linux adoption on the desktop.
The problem is simply that standard Linux software is still a lot of work to get going and maintain. Work I just don’t have time for.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Microsoft might want to be making Windows 12 a subscription OS, suggests leak1·2 years agoI tried wine recently to see if I can get Total Annihilation to work. I played with Wine in the mid 2000’s and gotten office 2003 to run on Suse then.
OMFG the mess when I recently tried to just run a simple exe that doesn’t even need a full installation.
Adobe sadly don’t just make Photoshop which is a remarkably good product. Even more so with their new features. I use Lightroom and nothing that exists for Linux comes close. All that needs some serious GPU integration.
DaVinci resolve is amazing and a real alternative to Premiere. The problem I see is binary compatibility. Even Linus admits that the Linux desktop has a problem with that.
I do have high hopes for web tech to evolve enough to make cross platform a thing again. Maybe ChromeOS will help there. VS Code is a good example here. With WebGl Vulkan in the browser and OpenCL that should become viable soon.
I’ve had the “fortune” of reading quite a few pieces in religion class.
I don’t remember any brown substances in that violent fairytale book that many claim to follow, yet few read and even less understand.
It does have a lot of “colourful” sections especially in season 1. I’m not surprised if there are passages about 💩.
If there are any pointers I’d happily use them in discussions with evangelists.
I know someone that would use a microwave to heat up food. But would literally run away from it whenever she used it and only come back after the set time passed.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto HistoryPorn@lemmy.world•Two soldiers holding hands, Vietnam, 1971English103·2 years agoIt’s such an amazing country.
I’m so conflicted over what happened there, and it’s only getting more complicated the more I know about it.
Essentially people just wanting to be left alone, but the country getting torn by multiple groups.
French colonizers who’s time was ending. The Soviets who took the opportunity to spread chaos to weaken the west and bring communism. The russians are doing similar shit now, particularly in Africa.
And the USA who wanted to stop that and get their influence over the country in an extremely brutal fashion.
Only to later to also have issues with the Khmer Rouge. Now China is encroaching onto them.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon linked to trafficking of workers in Saudi Arabia, who say they were tricked into toiling and living in grueling, squalid conditionsEnglish71·2 years agoI buy a lot off eBay. Not that they’re perfect, but at least they’re not owned by Bezoz.
Sharing is caring
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Cartoons are too 'woke' these daysEnglish111·2 years agoThe question is, who’s responsible?
The deep state? Karen? Vaccines? Maybe their bones don’t ring because of 5g?!
Isn’t the deep state responsible for the latter 2 anyway?
Seems to have been converted to become a convertible. Did you find any instructions to replicate this mod if I find a stock laptop?
