brianorca , to lemmyshitpost in Americans are asleep, post European windows

There are plenty of options in the US for adjustable pressure. Mine has pressure on the big lever, and temperature on a smaller level. It even has pressure compensation when somebody flushes a toilet, so there’s no temperature change. But the type you show there does seem to be the default selection for new construction.

brianorca , to nostupidquestions in What’s Usenet and how can I access it with modern hardware (phones/laptops)?

They weren’t always premium. Your local ISP or college often ran a server for their users in the old days.

brianorca , to asklemmy in Wwyd if you were given a pocket dimension 3m cubed?

You can’t pull things out of the pocket without going in there first, which would be deadly in your situation. (OP says you can go in and out, and you can take things with you.)

brianorca , to asklemmy in Wwyd if you were given a pocket dimension 3m cubed?

Since the pocket dimension would be sea level pressure, dipping into it for a breath when you’re deep is a sure way to get the bends, which would be a painful way to die. (Especially if nobody is there to help you.)

brianorca , to asklemmy in What are the most unconventional sources of white noise you use?

There are many kind of noise. But white noise has all frequencies of sound at about the same volume. (Just like white light is a mix of many colors in equal portions.) Think of an old TV on a blank channel, a rainstorm, or a waterfall.

brianorca , to technology in Alaska Airlines CEO: We found “many” loose bolts on our Max 9 planes following near-disaster — “My demand on Boeing is what are they going to do to improve their quality programs in-house.”

The incident airplane was only 3 months out of the factory.

brianorca , (edited ) to news in Alabama calls nitrogen execution method 'painless' and 'humane,' but critics raise doubts

It’s been done, in industrial accidents and other cases, but helium is probably more common for average people to experience. Both gasses are inert (have no effect on our biology) and displace oxygen.

P.S. I believe there’s even some companies that offer hypoxia training for pilots and mountain climbers using increased nitrogen instead of reduced pressure. (Such training helps pilots recognize the warning signs so they can activate supplementary oxygen.) This lets them do it without a special pressure chamber, and a quicker recovery to standard atmosphere if someone has a problem.

It is now but the comment mentioned 2014.

brianorca , to technology in Scientists Use WiFi to See Through People's Walls

There are already smart light bulbs you can buy off the shelf that use radio signals to see when somebody is in the room. Then it can turn on the lights automatically, without a camera or infrared sensor in the area.

brianorca , to mildlyinfuriating in Haier, the air conditioner maker, takes down open source third-party Home Assistant integration

That wouldn’t stop them from pursuing something in a US court if the other party is in the US. But even here, I doubt their argument would hold water in an actual trial, considering existing precedent.

brianorca , to mildlyinfuriating in Haier, the air conditioner maker, takes down open source third-party Home Assistant integration

It’s an open source project repository. It can be compared to the process descriptions in the patent. But patents and copyright don’t cover APIs, as decided in Oracle vs Google in 2021.

I’m saying this usage of reverse engineering is probably safe, but if you reverse engineered a way to process data that happened to match a patent, it doesn’t matter that you never saw the patent or original code, it can still be infringement.

Sometimes only one end, making them a quiche.

Pretty sure chips are toast in this diagram. Or maybe it depends if they are potato or tortilla chips.

brianorca , to mildlyinfuriating in Haier, the air conditioner maker, takes down open source third-party Home Assistant integration

Reverse engineering is legal, but if you still arrive at a solution covered by a patent, then that solution is illegal. But this shouldn’t be covered by a patent.

brianorca , to technology in Researcher uncovers one of the biggest password dumps in recent history

A lot of ISPs provide email, too. So getting an ISP password lets them reset your other passwords which used that email address for the “forgot password” prompt. (I’m guessing you don’t use your ISP provided email, but you’re not “most people”.)
