F that noise. I’m here and active because Sync came out, and I’ve become used to its interface over the years. I’ll eventually try the other FLOSS apps but I’m here learning and enjoying first.
Yeah, op, don’t feel shamed about using sync, it’s a great app that’s worth using. I use it. Lots of us use it. The hate is a knee-jerk reflex to the sudden influx of excited reddit sync users who have migrated to lemmy and talked a lot about sync. I think FOSS users were expecting a FOSS-type option and were shocked when that wasn’t the case. Then you also had users who were just mad that it would cost more to be used here than it was on reddit.
lol nuclear is really uneconommical, way too expensive and therefore really inefficient. You need 10-20 years to build a plant for energy 3 times more expensive than wind. For plants that still require mining. That produce waste we cannot store and still cannot reuse (except for one small test plant). For plants that no insurance company want to insure and energy companies dont like to build without huge government subsidies.
I know lemmy and reddit have a hard on for nuclear energy because people who dont know anything about it think its cool. But this post is ridiculous even for lemmy standards.
The Four Way Split was glorious chaos, and only the craftiest screenpeeker survived. You learned psychological warfare, trying to make everyone second guess which section was theirs.
Over/under should give you a wider field of vision, unless it’s some bullshit like COD Cold War where my gf and I go to shoot zombies together and it puts black bars around 20% of the screen and makes it feel cramped on a 70” tv.
Lego split screen did it well. side by side but if you move to some areas and other player does other things the vertical line starts to tilt and go horizontal, especially as you merge screens for co-op tasks
Funny, cause my wife found that kind of annoying for some reason. Iirc, it was optional though. (I ultimately had to solo most of the ones I had, but I’ll get back into it when my kids are older, haha)
Well, you see. Those in charge want that apple there. Because when push comes to shove that apple will also kill activists, protestors and political opponents without asking questions or refusing orders. He will keep fellow apples in check and keep them from speaking up as well. They like that apple.
To be more realistic the wolfox would be saying he is going to eat all the sheep, and the sheep will be talking amongst themselves saying he’ll settle down once he gets into power and what he is saying is just to anger the wokes
Honestly I think you’re giving the sheep’s human counterparts too much credit. They don’t acknowledge that they are potential prey, even while actively being victimized.
In Sweden they seem to be trying to make the first one true. A university made it forbidden to have ‘any conversation that may be interpreted as political to a passer-by’ anywhere on campus. It was celebrated by the minister for higher education (liberal party member) as a brilliant step against “wokeness”. It was retracted, because it is not possible to enforce. But the government is doing an investigation against universities to root out “wokeness”.
The more you think about it, the better/worse it gets.
They couldn’t fly from Japan to Hawaii even using the more reasonable route. They were brought nearer using aircraft carriers.
The Doolittle Raid launched longer-range bombers from US carriers to hit Japan and they were lightened up to the max (dumped their guns and anything else non-essential) and planned from the get-go to ditch over China because flying back would be impossible.
Being able to fly a bomber halfway across the World was beyond WW2 tech.
I can kinda see “shot an old horse or two” as being a positive thing, okay you got over the squeamishness of it and did a sick animal a mercy.
Winging a goat and gosh I gotta go get more ammo to finish this one off, well that’s starting to get a little peculiar.
LIKING IT SO MUCH THAT YOU WENT OUT AND GOT A NEW PUPPY SO YOU COULD DO IT AGAIN, well hoooly fuck we are getting into something entirely else now aren’t we?
Yeah sometimes animals need to be put down out in the country.
But she just completely failed to raise that dog to do what she wanted, completely impatient, then decided the only recourse was to shoot it.
Then just decided while she was out killin’ to shoot a “mean” goat too? Like if she hadn’t decided to kill the dog she wouldn’t have killed the goat? Bloodlust is what it sounds like.
Yeah, putting down a dog that bites people is sometimes the only option, but the way it was worded sounded more like “it wasn’t a golden genius and I didn’t like it, so I shot it instead of putting any effort into training it”
Someone with one brain cell and a shred of morality would re-home the dog first. At least try too. Growing up near farmers it wasn’t uncommon for them to give someone else a dog when that dog was a bad farm dog but could be a family dog. I’ve known farmers and they don’t act like Governor Noem.
I have a friend that works with a rescue group in Colorado, almost exclusively for cattle dogs. They rescue and re-home the dogs for a variety of reasons. The most prevalent is the dog can’t work anymore and will be put down. That’s it. It got too old and is consuming resources without producing.
I’m not saying all farmers and ranchers are like this, but the mentality certainly exists. These people see certain life as a commodity only, and it often extends to cruelty to “lower life”. It’s even at the root of calling people who aren’t in their tribe “lower life”, and devaluing them accordingly
Those same farmers I was talking about before have absolutely put down their own animals. They’ve shot their dogs when they’re old and it’s time. One family in particular let their cats “rejoin with nature” aka, just leaving it outside until a predator gets it. I think that’s crewl but I can accept those cats are farm cats, not house cats and had lived ‘in nature’ their whole lives. I’ve even heard about shooting day when they plan to shoot the less useful animals. They get the right ammo, carts, make plans for what they will do with the carcass.
What they don’t do is shoot a young dog because it’s not what they hate it, then follow up with shooting a goat too and are pleased with themselves. That’s a bright red flag for anti-social or psychopathic behavior, I can never remember which is which. The farmers I know see culling their livestock as a task or a burden, but I’ve never heard a farmer tell me they take pleasure from it like Governor Noem did in her book. Unprompted I must add.
Screen capture of DVD bonus feature from Prometheus (2012), a dictated letter by Peter Weyland about Eldon Tyrell, chief executive officer of the Tyrell Corporation
So, Prometheus establishes Tyrell Corporation and Weyland-Yutani as competitors! Neat.
There’s also some commentary from Ridley Scott, one of the displayed replicant body designs in 2049 is clearly an Engineer, and I believe a billboard for Weyland in one of the Blade Runners, but I can’t find that screenshot so maybe I’m misremembering that one.
Most of it is Easter Egg level stuff but there’s enough that it’s canon if you want it to be. Or not.
Really, the biggest takeaway I learned from this connection hunt back in the day was that the Blade Runner humanity had multiple colonies on other planets, which was just not something I remembered being a thing from the movies.
I don’t want a smart (insert household device here) I want a dumb device that simply reports it’s status to and accepts commands from a computer. Put all the smart shit in one thing and control multiple devices from a single interface.
There is no reason why my oven or laundry machine needs enough computing power to land a man on the moon.
instructions unclear, fridge.exe firmware failed to update: please take it to your nearest service center to get your cooling working again. (where they will use a proprietary software tool to unlock it in one click, no you can’t have it)
They’re the worst. Now they’re actually putting features into vehicles but don’t activate them unless you pay more. You already own the car with the feature existing inside of it but can’t use it. What kind of bullshit is that!
They’ve been doing that for a long time too. I worked at a Chevy dealership circa 2009 and did dealer installed backup cameras on Silverado and remote start systems on Camero. The Camero was just new key fob and reprograming. The Silverado was a new tailgate handle and wiring, if it didn’t have an infotainment system then it got a new rear view mirror.
On my Ford I was able to use a program called Forscan and activate remote entry that didn’t come from the factory even though the receiver was already included.
Even my 1998 car had wiring in place for features that it didn’t come with because it was cheaper to make one harness for all models instead of different harnesses for different options.
So I’m not an IT professional by any means, it’s a hobby. But I’m curious if an ESP32 could land a man on the moon. I searched around a bit and am under the assumption that an ESP32 has a CPU or microprocessor of some sort.
What I’m trying to figure out is: Would a processor on an ESP32 have RAM and ROM built into the chip. I hope I’m asking the right questions.
It seems like a processor should have RAM for a cache. But I gave up trying to figure out if it would also have built-in ROM (specifically, an ESP32’s processor)
Do all CPU’s/microprocessors now have SRAM for a cache? Do all also contain ROM? Or is it separate? I guess an ESP32 does require ROM for it’s firmware, regardless? And (maybe?) SRAM in it’s processor?
I’m beinginng to think an ESP32 would have the “specs” to land a man on the moon?
Idk, “how true is your statement” is what I’m trying to figure out (but I lack a lot of the technical knowledge), and now I’m curious. If someone could ELI9, I’d appreciate it
Edit: I did flash the eeprom on some XBOX TSOP chips in the past. So maybe ROM isn’t part of the CPU, but very near-and-dear. Annnnd I’m in a rabbit hold about the anatomy of CPU’s because of a one sentence comment. Please help
ESP32 is a term that is often used very broadly. If you want to be accurate, ESP32 is a very specific integrated circuit that contains a lot of stuff needed for computation and packaged in a single chip made by Espressif. This chip, usually called SoC/MCU contains the CPU, RAM, ROM, and other peripherals, even wireless communication and encryption primitive.
ESP32 itself contains the following spec:
Dual core 32-bit CPU with clock speed up to 240MHz
520KB of SRAM
448KB of ROM
Now, for comparison, the Apollo programs consist of a lot of systems. But arguably, the computer that is responsible to make the landing possible is the guidance computer.
Let’s take a look at the spec from wikipedia:
15-bit CPU with a clock of 2.048 MHz
2048 words RAM (2048×15 = ~30KBit)
36864 words ROM (~553KBit)
That alone should give you an idea of how powerful computers have come to. Not to mention the size difference (ESP32 only around 5mm×5mm), power consumption, and a lot of other factors.
Thank you! I was reading the wiki about the “landing” and could “understand” how a current phone would be vastly more than sufficient. I got lost trying to find how an “ESP32” was designed… and then how processor’s were (normally) designed nowadays… and how it all worked together. I guess I was asking if a single “chip” could include all of those things (CPU, RAM, ROM), or if it was multiple “chips”. An integrated circuit is what I think I was trying to dissect. I’m still curious about the inter-workings, but you cleared a whole lot up for me.
I really appreciate the breakdown, because I didn’t have the terminology to properly search. I guess it still kinda blows my mind how far it’s all progressed
Edit: And now I’m learning the difference between “Integrated circuit” and “circuit board”… seems silly in hindsight, but the terminology had me a bit confused. Super cool, nonetheless.
You’re nostrils do that as you sleep to keep the one closest to the bed/ground closed. Since people roll from side to side over the course of a night your nostrils swap which one’s closed
I don’t know what you already do and what your insurance would cover but here’s a list of things that helped me tremendously:
I have two different inhalers. One for attacks and one prophylactic. Since I use the second one daily I haven’t had an attack in 10+ years.
Have an asthma diary. Measure your breath a few times a week and take notes. After a while you will recognize patterns days ahead when the chances for an attack might be higher. Medicate accordingly! I up the dosage for the prophylactic inhaler slightly when I see changes (e.g. during allergy season).
Breath out! That one sounds stupid, I know. Paraxoically the major problem with asthma often is breathing out, not in. So there are breathing exercises where you learn to focus on breathing out to make way for easier breathing in. It can be as simple as counting to 5 while breathing in and counting to 8 while breathing out with a 2 seconds break before again breathing in. Adjust the numbers for you. It calms your breathing and can even help with an attack (though I would still use an inhaler then).
I also have my lungs screened every two years. Ever since I follow the above list my measurements get better over time even though I am slowly past the “it will heal by itself” age.
Where I am from all the above steps are covered by insurance. I know for example in the US inhalers can be obscenely expensive so step 1 might be a problem. But steps 2+3 are low cost and are still very beneficial. So I hope you can find something in the list that eases your burden.
