Signed it, I hope the EU can make us proud once again. This should at least be included in planed obsolescence laws, that can have provisions against both hardware and software being declared dead with no consequences.

In today’s episode of “The rich and powerful do whatever the fuck they want with no consequences”…

The ICC still doesn’t have full WiFi functionality restored after a cyber attack in 2023?

If it’s like most places I’ve worked in, they have an IT department of 1 or 2 poor souls losing sleep trying to help outside contractors that actually do everything in there

Thank you!

The spot is a Bortle 4 to 5 according to the map, nothing special but it’s only a 20 min drive and has no nearby light sources, offers decent protection from the constant Aegean summer winds as well. My advice is this: Bortle + Drive time + terrain difficulty= X, solve for the lowest possible X and only go to really remote and dark sites when you’re sure you’ve got the shooting process dialed in. Generally any moon less night under Bortle 5 skies or better yields great results.

Hope that helps.

Video games with apparently sentient NPCs.

Custom ARM SoCs from AMD and Nvidia for laptops, tablets and handheld consoles, running customized Linux to avoid Microsoft’s fees.

YouTube switches to unskipable server-side ads injection directly into the original video stream, rendering adblockers ineffective. Others soon follow.

Mainstream media starts releasing news in TikTok style videos where the bottom half of the screen plays random Minecraft / satisfying to watch slop.

End to end encrypted communication is quietly outlawed following some terrorist attack, using national security fearmongering. You’ve got nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide.

China inevitably invades Taiwan, TSMC burns their fabs down to protect their IP. Samsung and Intel fabs become the most cutting edge process nodes on next cycle, China catches up, profits go up all around.

Google kills Search and now Gemini is their only search engine. Others soon follow.

Basically PUBG, but with more guns

Plastic waste has been a real headache for scientists lately, this solution would cure that headache in more ways than one

Same here. Let’s hope they aim for a light orbital rocket that can be mass manufactured and reused, for example, or at least a Falcon type rocket that also had a hopper test vehicle initially

Edit: Reading Honda’s own post about the launch they seem to be implying that they want to develop a vehicle that can achieve orbit, but also to use it for transportation purposes?

It’s too early to make assumptions, but they do clearly state that they are aiming for something that can reach 100km in altitude in a vertical fashion. They also say they hope to achieve suborbital flights by 2029.

6.3 meter rocket demonstrator went up 271m and landed. I’m guessing they’re trying to copy the New Sheppard design for suborbital recreational hops

Gee, I wonder if there was a certain agency he’s defunding that could’ve forseen such circumstances

As a European I read the title and imagined 165 people standing ankles-deep in a lava puddle

It’s only tyranny if it’s from a blue state, otherwise it’s just sparkling law and order

I’m pretty sure I’ve played video games based on that premise

The article itself is either AI generated or just bad in general. Absolutely no information about what the title would suggest, while also mentioning that there’s no actual proof of anything other than the dogs here are different than the dogs 10.miles that way and it could be related to a number of things such as the initial breeds that were left behind, inbreeding etc.

Breaking news: Israeli air raids level half of Dublin. World leaders express their concern and consider sending a strongly worded letter in response.

Everyone is doing that. Apple is paying minimum wage workers in Greece to grade and correct their ai responses all day, I know people that work there

I hope that she’s somehow rescued when that ship is inevitably destroyed.

Israel has been publicly bombing hospitals and executing children begging for food in front of aid trucks for a long time now, they won’t have any problem sinking anything they damn well please.

We do what we must, because we can

Housing, rehabilitating and educating homeless people costs the same or less than funding their persecution, prosecution and incarceration while solving the problem instead of perpetuating it

Literally psyops instead of helping. The people who did this are the characters you see getting shot in the movies and don’t feel bad about it.
