I love my Pinecil V2. It was cheaper than my 40W entry level Weller station and heats up way faster. I run it off my Anker USB power supply and also my Anker USB power bank. The power bank only outputs 30 or 40 watts though so I might upgrade that in the future. High wattage power banks are expensive though :/

It was used in automatic transmission fluid until the 1970s.

The Mythbusters also built a sweet plow truck that would get you through traffic.

The original Medal of Honor for the Playstation 1 had an alternate control scheme that let you move in the modern dual stick manner.

Oh yeah, they handled it properly for sure.

Boeing’s planes sure have gone downhill since he died…

This better be satire.

When I went to the Grand Canyon, I was shocked how many people stand right on the edge of a 300 foot drop. In a lot of areas, there are no guard rails (nor should there be), but so many people are just fucking stupid.

I joked you could probably kill someone by startling them with an airhorn but honestly it might work.

I just upgraded to a Pixel 7 Pro recently. Previously I had a Galaxy S8 that worked fine for about 7 years. It was really just showing its age. It still holds a charge halfway decently.

Might try installing GrapheneOS on it at some point.

It feels fairly high quality though and I’m hoping I’ll be able to get 7 years out of it like the Galaxy.

They already are just PCs and have been since the PS4/XBone. It’s all just slightly customized PC hardware inside.

When is it next being acted on? I’d like to actually mail a physical letter explaining my concerns. Maybe they’d like it since they’re dinosaurs.

I love using save states in emulators to win this every time.

Local AI is one step closer through Mistral-NeMo 12B (www.techzine.eu)

Mistral NeMo 12B is the name of the new AI model, presented this week by Nvidia and Mistral. “We are fortunate to collaborate with the NVIDIA team, leveraging their top-tier hardware and software,” said Guillaume Lample, cofounder and chief scientist of Mistral AI. “Together, we have developed a model with unprecedented...

The laptop 3080tis have 16 gigs? The desktop ones only got 12.

There are rare circumstances where a discharge can be truly accidental. Older or defective designs that can cause a discharge if the gun is dropped.

It’s so dumb that Windows hides file extensions by default. They could just flip a toggle.

It’s a proven technology. Did you think Polio and Measles just went away on their own? When the polio vaccine became a thing, people lined up around the street to take them because they had firsthand experience with how debilitating these diseases are. It’s quite literally miracle technology.

People who are against vaccination have been used by con artists who will say anything inflammatory to gain notoriety and money and be on talk shows and sell books. Be mad at the people who fleeced you.

Now these diseases that have no place in modern society are making a comeback because of it.

Also, the fissile material has been radioactively decaying for decades and should no longer be refined enough to go critical.

I wonder if online multiplayer mods could be made for multiplayer games.

My daily driver laptop is the T410 I found at a thrift store for $5.

Goodwill is particularly bad about this. You can almost never find cool stuff in the stores anymore. It’s all siphoned off for ShopGoodwill.

It was definitely one of my luckiest finds, but I think another part of it was that it was a pay by weight bin outlet. A St. Vincent De Paul in my case. Stuff isn’t individually priced and you weigh your items on a scale when you check out and pay by the pound. It’s usually very cheap because mine has a maximum of $5.00 per item so even heavy things like typewriters have been cheap.

I much prefer bin outlets because of this.

You could build one yourself for a fraction of the price with a trip to your local home improvement store. Even starting without tools, it would be cheaper.

Exactly, 10% of a billion dollars is one hundred million. That’s more than enough to live a cushy stress free life without ever working again if you’re not an idiot blowing it all on dumb shit.

That puts you in the same net worth bracket as a lot of celebrity actors and musicians.

I don’t pay for Nitro but I don’t have a problem for people that do. Servers aren’t free so it’s that or ads.

I’m still rocking my Galaxy S8. Gonna use it till the battery is toast.

I’ll get occasional hangups and stuff but it’s definitely useable still.

I rescued a 2010 Macbook Pro from a recycling dropoff and the previous owner did not wipe it. They had an Excel file with all their logins in it. Bank accounts and all.

I’m most of the way through act 3. I have a 3080ti and it’s still pretty smooth for me. I’m maxed out at 1440p with DLSS on quality.

Google ran Youtube at a loss for years to draw everyone in and now that there’s no real competition (yet), are tightening the screws. Very similar to how Walmart will sell stuff at a loss to bankrupt locally owned stores and then raise their prices.

Exploitive megacorporation can pound sand. It wasn’t a bad experience back when it was a single short ad before every video. Now I’ve had a wonderful ad free experience for years because of ad blockers. Why would I downgrade the experience and pay for it?

Is it possible to mod Bethesda games on Linux?

Cool, I’ll have to look into that. That’s mainly what’s keeping me from going entirely Linux. I run Mint on my laptop.

Joe Biden Wants US Government Algorithms Tested for Potential Harm Against Citizens (www.wired.com)

Highlights: The White House issued draft rules today that would require federal agencies to evaluate and constantly monitor algorithms used in health care, law enforcement, and housing for potential discrimination or other harmful effects on human rights....

Battery technology will be improved. Look at how much better today’s lithium ion batteries are than the NiCad batteries of the 90s.

At some point, we’ll develop something that doesn’t wear out for tens of thousands of charge cycles.

The 3DS had an ARM9 processor on the board which is what the DS line used so that it could play DS games natively.

The DSi actually has an ARM7 coprocessor (GBA CPU) just like the DS and DS Lite but lacks the physical cartridge slot. You can play GBA games natively on a hacked DSi.

Actually, the 3DS has an ARM7 core too so it can play GBA games natively as well. Either the Nintendo Ambassador titles, or whatever you want if you’ve installed CFW.

Real guns firing blanks are used in higher budget Hollywood films because it looks more realistic. Many TV shows will use gas blowback airsoft pistols and add muzzle flash in post production but you can tell because there are never spent casings being ejected.

I think I’ll just chill in the space rig and drink ale.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

These companies ran these services for years without any of this crap.

Nowadays? You just install it. It’s all plug and play. Mint is great for starters.

NY woman who fatally shoved singing coach, age 87, is sentenced to more time in prison than expected (apnews.com)

That’s not how tax brackets work. If you were one dollar over the next tax bracket, only that dollar would be taxed at that amount.

Eventually one of these antivax fuckers is going to get rabies from an unvaccinated pet or something and then when they start having symptoms they’ll change their tune and beg to be saved but it’ll be far too late.

It would never happen as long as Gabe is still at the helm.

MRI machines are cooled by liquid helium. Nitrogen is not cold enough. I’d imagine as a noble gas it has a similar effect though.

Do you know of any good alternatives for role playing? I used it a while back to flesh out some NPCs and location for a DnD game I was planning on running but if it’s gotten noticeably worse I’d like to try something else.
