Aceticon , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says?

Get the ones with the CE mark as, since 2017, the EU rules for LED Light Bulbs are very strict (for example, models must be tested for min 10k hours of life with at last 95% of the bulbs passing, and 10,000 on-off cycles) and that CE mark means they were tested in accordance with them (unless the mark is fake, obviously).

Also as others pointed out, you want to make sure the light fixtures you have them in do not trap heat: LED lights emit way less heat that incandescant but if it can’t go anywhere temperatures can get pretty high, plus both the actual LEDs and the components of the power converter at the bottom of the lamp (as the Light Emitting Diodes themselves take DC, ideally with a regulated current, not 110/220V AC) are way more sensitive to temperature than the stuff incandescent lamps are made.

Beyond this, also note that when it comes to overall quality (rather than merelly efficiency), that converter circuit makes most of the difference and manufacturers competing mostly on price will often use designs for those with significantly lower quality to save a few cents per unit. You might want to consider getting the Dimmable LED Light Bulbs even if you aren’t going to use them with a dimmer simply because in order for it to be Dimmable that conversion circuit needs to have a different, better, design that the cheapest ways of designing it.

At one point in time, maybe 7 or 8 years ago, I looked into setting up a business to import those things from China, and most samples I got from back then still work (except the ones from the really crap manufacturer, of the rest maybe 1 in 5 failed since then) - this is also why I know all those details about EU LED Light Bulb requirements and certification.

I’ve also been using LED Light Bulbs since even before that and have had very few failures in almost 10 years of using those things, even though I never buy the branded expensive stuff.

Last I checked the factory price of a decent 100 lumens LED Filament Light Bulb at the factory in China was around $1 so LED Light bulbs above $/£/€5 are way overpriced.

Two questions… Why pink and not white? Second question, why did you order these panels like that? You wouldn’t need them if you ordered it like any other meme, left to right then top to bottom.

I guess I’ll hold onto that box of dvds i was planning to donate. I think there’s a vcr in the garage. Anyone want to watch Mrs.Doubtfire with me?

I have so many happy memories of putting dvds in vcrs.

Note the patent date, 2012. I don’t think you have to worry about this being implemented anytime soon.

So early to mid nineties the macs were way easier to do graphs off of spreadsheets as office and excel did not really come into their own and lotus was a bear. It the main thing I used them for outside of the neat networked tank game.

troglodytis , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace?

For me it’s much easier to work with people I don’t like if we’re not trying to be friends. It doesn’t matter if I like them or not. Doesn’t matter if I think they are a piece of shit or awesome. We each have skills required to get the job done, and we use them together to do it.

Butts in seats is the most important metric for our middle management. In my gig if we don’t have a full team, job can’t get done. Middle management is incentivised to have butts in seats. So good luck having any say in who is filling those roles.

Combine that with an industry full of toxic work environment. Yeah, I apply my skill set and go home. It keeps the lights on

I am of the same opinion, but sadly a ton of people have to like you before they will just do their damn job. Bunch of petty assholes.

Sounds like management issue imho.

Also, I wonder how that turn over is looking if the job requires this lol

In my high school we had several of the Compact Macintosh models and I remember using them in two classes. One was English where we used a word processor. The other was more interesting: some sort of computer literacy course where we wrote HyperCard programs on the Mac.

Apart from the HyperCard stuff I found the courses and Macintosh computers quite dull. Maybe because I had been using Amiga computers for years at this point, and knew “The Fastest Apple Mac is an Amiga” (piped).

Neural networks are great for pattern recognition, unfortunately all the hype is in pattern generation and we end up with mammograms in anime style

Doctor: There seems to be something wrong with the image.

Technician: What’s the problem?

Doctor: The patient only has two breasts, but the image that came back from the AI machine shows them having six breasts and much MUCH larger breasts than the patient actually has.

Technician: sighs

biggerbogboy , to memes in Which one would you choose? (Updated version)

Hmmmm… Kinda strange how a 1-day-old account is posting about hating the platform they just joined… Besides, most of these issues vary from instance to instance, so judging the entire Lemmy network, let alone the entire fediverse, in such a way is just like saying everyone is bad at driving because you saw one car accident.
