AnonStoleMyPants , to technology in 10x Stronger Than Kevlar: Amorphous Silicon Carbide Could Revolutionize Material Science

Interesting material considering that one issue with graphene and carbon nanotubes etc tends to be that small defects in the crystal lattice majorly affect its mechanical properties. And it is very difficult to manufacture things with no defects. This being an amorphous material could mean that it is much more robust to local defects. Though I only skimmed the article.

Weird comment considering that graphene is regularly produced in wafer scale.

AnonStoleMyPants , to technology in UN banned Apollo Fusion's business model of using mercury rocket propellant to launch satellites into space

It’s an ion thruster, not a rocket per say. You cannot use it in lower atmosphere at all (well you can but it doesn’t do much), unfortunately some of the propellant would still find its way to the atmosphere.

The market of small thrusters for steering satellites is much larger than building actual rockets that take those satellites to orbit.

AnonStoleMyPants , to technology in Kagi is now partnering with Brave

That is kinda disappointing. I had a distaste for Brave after all the initial controversy regarding the ad blocking, which only got worse from the crypto crap they now have in the browser.

I’ll still keep paying for Kagi, but this is a step in the wrong direction in my opinion. Let’s hope at least the results get noticeably better.

A Amazon? I am way more triggered about that than I should.

AnonStoleMyPants , to gaming in What's the best headset to use for both PC and console right now?

If 7.1 isn’t necessary and you already have a mic, I would suggest you take a peek at just normal audiophile headphones. If you don’t mind Reddit, some good pointers and ideas in this thread reddit.com/…/has_anyone_used_audiophile_headphone….

I’ve been using Beyerdynamic DT880 pro for a few years and they’re amazing. Comfortable as hell and pads can be removed easily and cleaned or swapped. Great sound, zero regrets with these headphones. The entire DT lineup from them is very good as far as I know. Another go-to option is Sennheiser’s 600 series, but they’re a bit more expensive. There are numerous others but those are the ones that I know of.

I would suggest browsing what the /r/HeadphoneAdvice has to say, asking about audiophile headphones for gaming is a common question.

AnonStoleMyPants , to asklemmy in What are some happy endings that really wasn't all that happy?

Wasn’t it in the end of Inception that the wheel or whatever wobbles which meant that they’re still in a dream? I feel like I remember thinking that the ending isn’t real due to it.

AnonStoleMyPants , to technology in Utah Supreme Court says suspects can refuse to hand over phone passwords to the police | Other state Supreme Courts disagree and the case would wind up before the US Supreme Court

I doubt that’s how the password is used for. More like they copy all contents of the phone and ask the password to go through encryption. The data is already there, accounts don’t matter.

This is also the reason why it’s no good to have a dead man’s switch or the like, as in a certain password just wipes everything. You’d just get arrested for destroying evidence and they continue from a copy.

AnonStoleMyPants , to technology in Five People Founded Tesla, But Only Elon Musk Became Extremely Rich

Weird that people argue about this. If the value of a company is being talked about, then stocks is what people generally refer to. Now, if you’d specify and talk about some other value, then sure, but if only “value” is being mentioned I see no reason to think it would mean something else than stocks.

AnonStoleMyPants , to technology in Marketer sparks panic with claims it uses smart devices to eavesdrop on people

Good breakdown on this in arstechnica:

arstechnica.com/?p=1991469

In a statement emailed to Ars Technica, Cox Media Group said that its advertising tools include “third-party vendor products powered by data sets sourced from users by various social media and other applications then packaged and resold to data servicers.” The statement continues:

Advertising data based on voice and other data is collected by these platforms and devices under the terms and conditions provided by those apps and accepted by their users, and can then be sold to third-party companies and converted into anonymized information for advertisers. This anonymized data then is resold by numerous advertising companies.

The company added that it does not “listen to any conversations or have access to anything beyond a third-party aggregated, anonymized and fully encrypted data set that can be used for ad placement” and “regret[s] any confusion.”

Big corporations doing shady shit fucking over (or buying out) small companies trying to fix the shady shit to make the lives of the customers of said big business a bit easier.

Not sure what to say. Seems like the standard nowadays.

AnonStoleMyPants , to technology in Twitch updates sexual content guidelines amid ‘topless’ meta backlash

Would you look at that, nice.

AnonStoleMyPants , to technology in Twitch updates sexual content guidelines amid ‘topless’ meta backlash

Sure, but you could have a setting which allows sexualised content to be accessed or showed. Or just a popup when entering the stream like it already does with mature streams or whatever they’re called. You can have the streams only visible to people logged in, have people put their age on the account when making it (not sure if already a thing) and not show this stuff to people under 18. Yes you can just say you’re 18 but in that case the kids do it deliberately and won’t just stumble upon it. Have the parents do an underage account for them. Lots of options, and yes, the parents do have responsibility as well.

AnonStoleMyPants , (edited ) to technology in Twitch updates sexual content guidelines amid ‘topless’ meta backlash

Oh no, almost visible tits!? Nono we can’t have that, it’ll morally bankrupt our audience.

Edit: apparently they’re more lenient as long as it is properly tagged. Nice.

AnonStoleMyPants , to gaming in Players who don't like survival games as a genre: Which survival games are your personal exceptions, which ones have you enjoyed nonetheless and why?

Not really. Walls get destroyed easily, you still need a moat to keep trolls away.
