what happens when we lose the trifecta?

@cole@lemdro.id avatar

you’re right. voltage differential takes the shortest path(s), so it’ll just discharge itself p quickly. you are effectively isolated unless you’re in between the terminals

sometimes people don’t want to live in the middle of nowhere forever. not many engineering jobs there. we all want economic mobility too

I don’t think you understand - I can live poor and destitute without a job in my hometown, or leave to find work somewhere else. This is the reality of many Americans in rural America.

This isn’t a quest for “wealth”, it’s a quest for life

battery fires are not at all common in electric vehicles. this is propaganda

@cole@lemdro.id avatar

repeat falsehoods often enough and people believe them, even if you originally mean them as a well-intentioned and obvious joke

cole ,
@cole@lemdro.id avatar

no but they ARE repeating the falsehood about battery fires being likely or common: lemmy.world/comment/10496586

(which is something your joke implied)

cole ,
@cole@lemdro.id avatar

you may have INTENDED to imply only that, but you did imply both unfortunately. I agree with you on the cyber truck part, but I deal with a lot of slightly more rural folks and the big fear RN with electric vehicles is somehow battery fires. which is crazy since they don’t happen anywhere near as often as gas vehicles. so I’m just trying to say we should be careful to avoid that particular cliche (the battery fire part) since it misleads people

    Is there any solution available for controlling the volume without pressing the physical volume buttons ?

    So I just bought a OnePlus 12 recently, I was used to controlling volume using the onehand operations goodlock module in my Samsung galaxy S23. I basically never had to press the volume buttons to control the volume unless absolutely necessary....

    CAD Software Suggestion

    I am currently on win10 but have been toying with mint and liking it. I intend on fully switching over soon. I have also been toying with the idea of some simple 3D modeling, like making custom parts for projects around my house. Maybe using a CAD software to generate stls for a 3D print or using it to spec out parts for a...

    I’d say PopOS, EndeavourOS (or just Arch), or just Fedora Linux 40 (might need to check a box to enable proprietary drivers on install for Nvidia to work right).

    Nothing will run MS365 though, that’s just not on Linux (and Wine doesn’t work very well for modern versions). Best you can do is a Windows virtual machine if you need the actual applications and not the cloud version.

    plus, it isn’t like this isn’t exactly like adding another “door” to the “systemd building”. It’s a modular component of systemd, so more akin to replacing the sudo building with a new, but still separate, systemd sudo building

    Lives ARE on the line. It was faulty software that caused the Boeing 737 Max to crash twice, killing 346 people. Software runs your car, the trains, rockets, literally everything.

    [Feature Request] It would be really useful if we could set nicknames to WiFi ssids.

    I, often, find myself wondering what all these WiFi’s are on my phone and I think it would be useful to be able to set a nickname for a wifi network so to remember which one is which. For example “parents house” etc. What do you think?

    you can get an ePLB (emergency personal locator beacon) which has no subscription since it is an international coalition for rescue. don’t need to pay garmin or whatever for that b.s. and it uses special satellites to locate you so it’s very reliable. This is what ships and planes use to signal distress as well.

    that seems pretty stupid, should we also seize Amazon Kuiper when they start launching very soon?

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    This is crazy talk. Anybody can smuggle some terminals into their country. That doesn’t mean they’re being “helped”. The US government would come down on SpaceX with unprecedented force if they violated sanctions like that

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    I’d love to better understand your position. it seems like you think that Starlink is aware of who is using a terminal. how can Starlink differentiate between a Ukrainian and Russian user in the same general area? should Starlink randomly turn off user terminals it suspects? what if it accidentally turns off a Ukrainian one? billing is obv not a good indicator

    I want to understand your thoughts a little more clearly on this

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    I don’t think that’s where the problem I’m raising is. Think about an active confrontation area where both sides have Starlink. How do you tell which to turn off in this case? Ideally Ukraine would be using starshield and then Starlink can be turned off entirely

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    that doesn’t seem to support your assertion. blocking terminals in a specific geographic location (crimea) doesn’t explain how to tell apart two sides using terminals in the same geographic area

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    On an active battlefront these territories aren’t strictly defined or are changing quickly. With that methodology if Ukrainian advanced too quickly into what was previously Russian territory, bam - Starlink stops working. That seems undesirable

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    Starlink terminals in Ukraine didn’t come from one source. some have been donated by orgs in the US and other countries, some the government, some SpaceX themselves. Ukraine almost certainly doesn’t have full knowledge of all the Starlink terminals it possesses. This isn’t an ideal environment

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    No. What I’m saying is that due to the fast-shifting geographic nature of a battlefront, and the lack of organization in where the user terminals have come from: (A) Starlink would have a hard time keeping up with a precise map (and would be prone to errors, and would need exact operational data) (B) Ukraine doesn’t completely KNOW what terminals are theirs

    So a geographic location block would be a hindrance for Ukrainian troops when trying to advance, and potentially dangerous when Russians advance into Ukrainian territory. Boundaries would constantly need to be redrawn, requiring exact knowledge of what is happening. Which for obvious reasons should not be shared

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    I feel like you are fundamentally misunderstanding me. Battle lines are not static or cut and dry. Neither militaries KNOW exactly where the enemy is. It isn’t that simple

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    I have no clue how you’re coming to that conclusion. Starlink blanket blocked access from Crimea. Regardless of whether that was right or wrong, this doesn’t prove that Starlink knows where Russian and Ukrainian troops, can track the battle line, and precisely turn off access based on that geographic area

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    Look, I don’t know if you’re being intentionally obtuse here, but not all areas are black and white. There is ambiguity in the world, particularly in battlefields. This feels a bit like a bad faith argument

    cole ,
    @cole@lemdro.id avatar

    Man, wtf. If Starlink is shut down in areas Russia already controls (it largely is), then what is the problem???

    Starlink doesn’t have fine control over what they can turn off, the world is separated into “cells”. Starlink can’t broadly turn off Starlink for ONLY Russians on the battle lines, it would affect Ukrainians too
