  • Many Americans think NASA returning to the moon is a waste of time and it should prioritize asteroid hunting instead, a poll shows

  • The moon is a fourth the size of Earth. Even if we had the infrastructure and technology (spoiler, we don’t), we can’t even make a tiny tiny tiny tiny dent in the moon, at least in the next hundred years or so. Heck, nuking the moon with every nuke humanity has won’t even make a noticeable dent in the moon!

  • Your Computer Should Say What You Tell It To Say - Google is adding code to Chrome that will send tamper-proof information about your operating system and other software, and share it with websites

  • Modern Firefox is more “modern” looking than Chrome in my opinion. Also, iirc each tab is now its own thread.

  • We're the creators of Lemmy, Ask Us Anything. Starts Monday, 7 Aug, 1500 CEST

    Jump

  • From Wikipedia*: In a 2020 post, Lemmy's co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. "It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that."[8]

  • full tank 🚗

  • Yeah I guess. But there are some hybrids that charge via EV plug. My point still stands either way.

  • full tank 🚗

    Jump

  • Well, if you drive a hybrid, have you ever thought of where your electricity comes from? Probably a very inefficient coal or natural gas plant! Also, its not the gas gauge, its the engine heat gauge lol.

    Point is, don’t fret over your fossil fuel usage. Big corporations use more fossil fuels a day than you will ever use in your lifetime, even if you drive a fuel guzzling truck.

  • That’s preposterous. Even the new ARM Macs let you install Linux (although they don’t supply any drivers, leave the devs to reverse engineer everything, which means the only currently supported Linux distro is Asahi Linux (Arch). But thats still better than locking the BIOS/whatever bootloader Chromebooks use.)

  • ChromeOS has been out for over a decade. Its not “new”, many schools actually used it before the pandemic.

  • Researchers find 'backdoor' in encrypted police and military radios

    Jump

  • Hm, where does https play in though? Most, if not all, popular websites now use encryption. If Alice were to access Bob’s site via ham radio and his site uses https, is Alice breaking the law?

  • New handheld game consoles will need replaceable batteries from 2027, EU says

    Jump

  • Huh, that could work pretty well! Gaskets would need to be secured and sealed well though, and I fail to imagine what an iPhone or any other modern device would look like with a removable battery lol.

    Jump

  • How? Currently, waterproofing works by slathering every crack and crevice in a sea of glue. Glue and easily replaceable batteries don’t mix.
