  • China's new iron battery hits 99.4 percent efficiency over 6000 cycles

  • Tom Scott did a video on it. In all honesty, there are a number of things about this system that I just don’t see working well in the long term, but it’s an interesting prototype nonetheless.

  • 4TB of voice samples just stolen from 40k AI contractors at Mercor

    Jump

  • If you’re willingly handing over training data to a company at this point, you should pretty much expect that this will be the fate of your data. Either this, or it will be sold.

    None of these companies respect your data. They just want profit at the expense of everything else.

  • Why can't we use lie detector tests to find out the answers to life's big mysteries?

    Jump

  • I released my first KDE Plasma icon pack: BeautyBeam

    Jump

  • As a fallback, I would love a set of these with thin white and black outlines. I can imagine these working 95% of the time, but occasionally, I might need to add some extra contrast for visibility.

  • xkcd #3237: Husband and Wife

    Jump

  • This was my original introduction, which left me incredibly confused as I’d not seen 2001 at the time either. In retrospect, it’s hilarious.

  • Discomfort with modern technology shapes Gen Z's desire to live in the past

    Jump

  • I remember when the first round of capacitive buttons showed up. I can’t find it anymore, but there was an article on a fan site for MP3 players I read in 2010 that showed the comparisons of physical vs capacitive vs touchscreens and capacitive buttons only had negatives. It baffled me when they just never stopped using them on things. That article was burned into my mind and now I see that logic has spilled into a thousand other industries.

  • Car lights

    Jump

  • The worst thing the car industry ever did was turn our vehicles into mobile living rooms.

    I still stand firm that driving should be mildly uncomfortable and loud with the intention of keeping you focused.

  • With the release of Ubutnu 26.04, a reminder of what they used to stand for.

    Jump

  • I had an 8.04 CD that started me on my journey. I remember the boot sound to this day and miss my GTK 2+Compiz+Emerald setup. You can sort of still get there today, but with little to no modern themes being made, it’s hard to justify.

  • Replaced the passenger mirror on my work vehicle

    Jump

  • I’ve even worked on a BMW door panel and they’re not the worst. Most difficulty is in dealing with the inevitable clips that you’ll probably need to replace a couple of and the black pasty goo they use to stick the plastic on the door.

  • Tinder takes action against AI profiles by making users scan eyes for “proof of humanity”

    Jump

  • Those fast track lines at the airport I recently read somewhere is supplied by a private entity, which means all those face scans are just added into a database for future surveillance.

  • Where do you discover new music?

    Jump

  • I tend to take a playlist of songs I enjoy and enable the radio feature. It keeps a healthy mix of things I’m already comfortable with and stuff that’s in the same ballpark. I’m pretty settled into my listening taste, so I rarely go for much outside that. Other than that, it’s direct friend recommendations.

  • xkcd #3237: Husband and Wife

    Jump

  • It has been far too long since I’ve watched this beauty.

  • Close enough

    Jump

  • See ya! I’m headed to Penguins country.

  • Apostrophe Exclave sounds like a sick as hell band name.

  • xkcd #3236: Border Message

    Jump

  • I want to live in the isolated apostrophe.

  • Camouflage experiments alone in the woods

    Jump

  • I also think that the solid brown is giving it away a bit. Some texture on the outfit might help.

    Did u know turtles breath through their butt hole?

    Jump

  • Should I know this? Cool, I guess, but I’m not exactly sure this fits the community all that well.

  • I bought a camo net to better hide my bike whenever I go on foot

    Jump

  • I thought this was a cross view image at first and my eyes were very unhappy.
