  • ‘How can you have a Ferrari without any vroom?’: electric model shocks owners’ club

    Jump

  • Looks a lot like the recent Nissan Leaf. Slightly less bulky front and the leak has a solid black area at the front for the lights, but other than that almost the same look to the car.

  • Globally, 1 in 3 cancer cases may never be diagnosed

    Jump

  • I wouldn't be surprised to find out that more than half of all diseases globally are never diagnosed correctly already in the world and that is getting worse. Cancer is one of the more commonly easily diagnosed diseases but that is because it shows up on an xray and especially MRI. But with much of the world not being able to afford imaging unfortunately a lot of people will die without treatment.

  • ‘How can you have a Ferrari without any vroom?’: electric model shocks owners’ club

    Jump

  • They have used none of Ferrari's "design language" for this car, it doesn't look like a Ferrari.

  • last vestiges of reddit usefulness removed - .JSON no more

    Jump

  • They still have the RSS feeds I presume? Its possible to make an app based on those.

  • After outliving 6 Star Trek TV shows, Star Trek Online deserves more love

    Jump

  • I really wish the ground combat was better or entirely ignorable because its not as good as the space ship combat aspects of the game.

  • Microsoft's GitHub bans security researcher who posted zero-day Windows exploits because company 'ruined their life' — expert claims action is vindictive and promises further retaliation

    Jump

  • Puts a lot of evidence towards his claims that Microsoft was behaving badly from the outset and the reason why he started doing this. They keep escalating. Its a war they started.

  • Google is cannibalizing the web to feed AI

    Jump

  • The death of Stackoverflow is one of these events where the site has been completely killed by AI and yet its contents is completely necessary for AI to know about solving programming problems. Its death will mark the end of AIs ability to learn how to solve programming issues. Its cannibalizing itself in the process, as it destroys its sources it destroys its own ability to learn.

    What are my options for expanding server storage?

    Jump

  • Standard USB 3.0 is 5gbps, which is quite a bit faster than a hard disk drive so if you get a basic USB adapter it will perform about as you would expect a hard drive to perform just a bit worse. Direct Attach Storage will be many drives connected over USB and then you might run into limitations as the number of drives increases as USB tends to top out about 350MB/s with drives.

  • ‘There is no great master plan’: anxiety as UK homes, roads and railways sink into the sea

    Jump

  • This is the big problem with climate change and the current slow burn collapse its causing is its so slow. The number of disaster events increases, their severity edges up year by year but because its all small little increments over decades it never gets any response from the populace or governments. How did we heat our planet to +1.5C, a tiny little bit every year.

  • Soft power sell-off: anger as British Council announces sale of historic Madrid building

    Jump

  • This is going to keep happening while governments continue to starve local governance of funds needed to meet their legal obligations. They are forced to sell off assets to keep solvent. This seems to be the strategy from central governments to sell off all state wealth.

  • Breakthroughs for batteries could soon make them much better. Solid-state cells would be faster and safer than today’s lithium-ion equivalents.

    Jump

  • There are already companies mass producing solid state batteries with ~380KWh densities for a Litre, substantially better than Li-ion and safer as well since they don't ignite. They just aren't at the sort of scale yet where a lot of the market will be using them.

  • GitHub faces a fight for its survival at Microsoft

    Jump

  • One possibility is to leave the Github available but just have it as a project page that points them to where the development is really happening and then host it where ever you want. In the near term this seems like a solution that at the very least makes the project visible and findable for those that go looking just on github.

  • Mayor Zohran Mamdani is going live on Twitch in new streaming series 'Talk with the People'

    Jump

  • They aren't yet putting up barriers since their sole purpose is people connecting to each other. There is every chance they do move to restricting access but I think it would be the death of Twitch and certainly Twitter if they started doing so. Social media doesn't require us to trust some group of people to choose our content for us and as such is a lot less prone to that bias and billionaire control. That isn't to say the billionaires don't have an effect, on Twitter what people are exposed to by the algorithm is very intentional and controlled as is the front page roll on Twitch, but unlike mainstream media its still possiblr to see and connect with the unfavoured content and grass roots movements can still form. I would prefer this was all on the fediverse but its not where the people are yet.

  • Mayor Zohran Mamdani is going live on Twitch in new streaming series 'Talk with the People'

    Jump

  • The mainstream press, being owned by the mega wealthy, hasn't exactly been platforming and fair in its reporting of left wing candidates in general. This has now morphed to a strategy by left wind politicians to go directly to their voters on social media. Zack Polensky, the Green party leader in the UK, has drastically improved his parties standing simply by delivering their policies directly on Twitter and other social media. This is quite likely to become the way that left wing politicians operate in the near future. They potentially seek to gain leverage to fairer representation and presence in mainstream media, although that might not even matter given the mass exodus and distrust of the people of those old platforms.

  • What do you use for selfhosting cloud storage?

    Jump

  • The just stopped working was the client stopped syncing? NextCloud decided to stop allow private made certificates with its client in 2025 and its what made me switch. I went to Syncthing which works well and is a lot faster and less resource intensive than NextCloud. I also had to move my calendars and chat as well.

  • changedetection.io: Self hosted website change detection

    Jump

  • Takes a little bit of setup on some sites where you want to narrow the text to article headers or such but its a really versatile tool for tracking websites without RSS. What I wish it did a bit differently was how you subscribe to the actual feed and how it presents the changes, I would like to be able to customise that presentation more.

  • Satellites add a new layer to global poverty data

    Jump

  • Hopefully they do some work to validate that the model predictions are actually correct. It has real potential for improving how aid is targeted since such a higher resolution can be used to look at poverty and where it is best to address. Its a lot quicker than a census too since its using satellite data.

  • UK Ranked Second-Worst Place in Western Europe for LGBTI+ Rights

    Jump

  • The UK is going backwards on social issues really fast at the moment as the far right has grown. Its going to get much worse after the next election if support for parties stays broadly similar to what it is now.

  • Data centers are cutting power to homes, driving homeowners to solar and batteries

    Jump

  • Even before the price increases coming from these huge power guzzlers being built solar and batteries has paid off. Its not uncommon to see something like 5 cent a KWh or payoff in about 7 to 10 years depending on which way you want to look at it. Solar is so good for this, it scales from house level all the way up to big grid projects in the MWs.
