  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • I'm glad to see Visa suffer, but I'm pretty concerned that Wero requires a proprietary phone app. There is no way to shop using Wero without this proprietary software.

  • YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They contain vitamin C, improve blood pressure, and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. Radishes contain almost no calories

    Jump

  • The peppery taste is what I like most about radishes.

  • The Kill Line: What America looks like on Chinese social media

  • What safety net? When I visited Shenzhen for work, I saw factory workers in terrible living conditions, and almost no PPE in the factory. Workers were spaced about 3 feet apart on an assembly line, with one worker using compressed air to blow dust and molding flash off a product, wearing eye protection but not hearing protection, and the adjacent working having neither. Another worker flipped over LED shop light fixtures and turned them on. They had sunglasses to protect from the brightness, but the adjacent workers didn't.

    These products are made from Chinese blood. They are made at the expense of permanently damaging the workers' bodies, and no government agency is protecting them.

  • OnePlus update blocks downgrades and custom ROMs by blowing a fuse

    Jump

  • I believe thay all have shitty operating systems. But some of them have an aftermarket OS available. Pick your OS first, then look for a phone that can run it. Here are the ones I know of:

    GrapheneOS

    CalyxOS (on hiatus)

    Crdriod

    LineageOS

  • What kind of resistor is this?

    Jump

  • This schematic symbol has only 3 pins, but you say the components has 6. Since this part is VR1-a, can you look around for maybe a VR1-b? That might explain where the other pins connect. If it's a 1x6 arrangement, they may not be 2 totally electrically independent potentiometers.

  • Bose is open-sourcing its old smart speakers instead of bricking them

    Jump

  • How does this happen? I have a few Bose bluetooth devices. Will I be safe if I just never use their app?

  • Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate

    Jump

  • Read the article. This is a MacOS problem, not a Logitech problem.

    The main buttons worked fine, only the specially configured extra buttons didn't work. Those buttons require a configuration program. There's no evidence this program needed an Internet connection.

    But MacOS blocks all software that doesn't have an approved certificate. It's basically the same walled garden as phones. Logitech's certificate expired.

    It only affected Mac users, and only because of the walled garden.

  • Tim Walz to drop out of Minnesota governor’s race

  • The welfare fraud claims were always bullshit. The only evidence was in idiot right-wing youtube video.

  • I have an idea ☝️

  • I say this with love for the global Linux community, but we need to be able to laugh at ourselves from time to time.

  • Happy Public Domain Day everyone

    Jump

  • Has any software ever entered the public domain through copyright expiration? I think software at least 70 years old (125 years for corporate created) when its copyright expires prevents it from being any benefit at all.

  • This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years

    Jump

  • Remember Memristors? They're commercially available today, at 200 EUR per bit.

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

    Jump

  • Three years ago, I replaced a failing SATA SSD in my personal laptop with a new SATA SSD. That laptop had plenty of power, and I'd still be using it today if the keyboard still worked, and the screen hinges weren't cracked. It had no NVME slots.

  • In those days, the predecessors that would become Christianity hadn't invented the abstinence rules yet.

  • Lawsuit Rule

    Jump

  • The Fan-Created Content Guidelines are not a contract that PETA has entered into. There are no grounds for a lawsuit for breach of contract, for copyright infringement, or for anything else.

  • why is fossil fuel still used?

    Jump

  • Corn ethanol isn't really renewable either. It works better if made from sugarcane, but it's still a big food-vs-fuel problem.

  • why is fossil fuel still used?

    Jump

  • Renewable liquid fuels have the same energy density.

  • why is fossil fuel still used?

    Jump

  • I believe two reasons: first, political will. Fossil fuel companies are large and entrenched, and have lots of experience lobbying governments. They block things like carbon taxes.

    Second, a strange sort of game theory where each player (each country) thinks "My individual contributions to greenhouse gasses are just a small part of the total. They won't cause global catastrophe. Just an incremental increase in the existing catastrophe. The incremental harm won't fall directly on me; it will be divided among many countries. If continuing to use fossil fuels provides some small economic advantage, it outweighs the portion of the harms that will land on me. As for the harms I experience from other countries' carbon emissions, there's nothing I can do to prevent them."
