squirrelwithnut , to technology in Scientists confirm that the first black hole ever imaged is actually spinning

I thought we already knew they spun, given the incredible amount of angular momentum in their accretion disks. Seems like a “duh” thing to prove with image data that the physics data already implied.

Smokeydabear94 ,

I thought so as well but the article says the spin doesn’t match the accretion disc, I’m not sure if that’s s significant aspect of the discovery possibly? I’m not well versed in relativity to be honest

Edit: forgive me, someone below said pretty much this

moistclump ,

What’s an accretion disc?

MaggiWuerze ,

A disk of matter and gas that accumulates through the gravitational pull of the object in the center.

The are what forms star systems and is also observed around black holes.

Uniquitous , to technology in Unity temporarily closes offices amid death threats following contentious pricing changes

Hopefully no one tries to kill the rank & file employees who have no decision-making power. Save it for the execs!

Or just don’t send death threats… what a bunch of petulant lunatics people are.

Disagree and express your disagreement, don’t use the opportunity express your violent inner child. You just distract from the actual issue you “care” about.

ITP: Internet dumb fucks do internet dumb shit and send to death threats.

Comments feign an argument for hypocrisy ala “eat the reach is just as bad”

Save yourself some brain cells and move on

I smell an excellent class action lawsuit brewing since they don’t seem to be grandfathering in people who made large business investments with their per-seat model.

hellfire103 , to technology in Roku lays off 300 workers and removes streaming content to save money

DVDs, people. DVDs and Blu-Rays.

mwguy ,

Blu-Rays generally are a bad idea. They’re so concerned with piracy that they make things like ripping your Blu-Rays needlessly difficult, especially for recently released to video Blu-Rays.

Honestly it’s easier to just pirate.

tony ,

Meh… it’s not that hard. Get something that’s libredrive compatible and run makemkv on it. Not had a failure yet.

The real downside is that blurays (esp. HD ones) are too expensive to get a decent collection.

mwguy ,

How do you ensure that it’s libredrive compatible?

tony ,

I just bought one from ebay from a guy that only sells libredrive compatible drives. But there’s a list here forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=79712#p79…

CaptKoala , to technology in Scientists strengthen concrete by 30 percent with used coffee grounds

I love seeing my countrymen coming up with dumb ideas that work, very Australian.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

They definitely spilled it while testing something else.

benad , to gaming in The long-rumored 'Quake II' remaster is out now on PC and consoles | Engadget

I was a bit disappointed by Quake II RTX, which felt like an engine hack with nothing more. This looks like the proper remaster we’ve been waiting for.

Love the inclusion of the Nintendo 64 port, like how it was also included with the Quake I remaster.

RecklessDwark ,

Well, yeah, Quake 2 RTX was a free-to-play tech demo.

I will use it if the speed is comparable to normal browsing…

In my experience it’s a bit slower but not by much, I usually only access text based websites over Tor though with minimal images, streaming over YouTube can be horribly slow but it’s generally worked okay for me.

Gods I’m glad I left that shithole.

Who needs reddit? Now I go to Imgur for memes, and Lemmy for news.

The only thing reddit is still better at is finding an answer to a very specific question (adding site:reddit.com to your Google searches works wonders), but that’ll improve with time as more and more people get tired of Spez’s bullshit and migrate here. Can’t wait to see the death of reddit. Was a member since the beginning and it’s sad to see it go the way of Digg.

aquarisces , to technology in Reddit is testing verification labels for brands

That’s cool, I think a lot of us here would label Reddit as verifiably stupid.

db2 , to technology in X tells advertisers to spend $1,000 per month or risk losing verification status

X… Elon… X Elon… XElon… XYlon… I figured it out guys, he’s an evil robot whose creator forgot the I part of AI.

Buelldozer , to technology in Netflix lists $900,000 AI job as actors and writers continue to strike
@Buelldozer@lemmy.world avatar

I do hope that the strikers get what they are asking for however this AI stuff is inevitable. AI written scripts performed by AI Characters in full virtual space is going to happen. Oh sure it will suck Donkey Ballz for the first 3-4 years while studios get a handle on the tech but it will improve rapidly.

The porn studios are already playing with this this and I predict that in less than 10 years the people over at !aigen will be cranking out full length pr0n movies using OSS tools.

Unless computers go away this trend is unstoppable.

awderon ,

AI written scripts will just repackage old ideas. Nothing new or innovative.

visor841 ,

So just like 95%+ of Hollywood?

Google acknowledges it “missed the mark” when it got caught being shady (again).
