Usually a lurker.Maybe I should've just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment...

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs

  • I feel like it's essentially a superfuled semantic search.I can put in multiple issues and symptoms and it spits out a websearch that mostly applies to my reported issue.

  • Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"

  • Appreciated. Very much appreciated!

  • At least with warehouse, you are already aware and prepared to receive it :p

  • AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations

    Jump

  • Maybe it is the only real solution.Full nuclear war and end all life on Earth ¯(ツ)/¯

    Edit: Do I really need to ad a "/s" on this comment? Jesus Christ folks. And here I thought this comment was already laced with enough joke sarcasm...

  • Don't have that issue with Youtube (running on regular firefox and with a pihole on top).I rather have issues with my googlehome being a bit more useless because I blocked outgoing DNS lookups except for whitelisted services.

  • Coming from powershell scripting, every string is put in quotes and to be printed strings with variables are put in $($var) (e.g. Write-Host "Example-Issue: $($IssueVariable)")Saves me the trouble of hoping that $IssueVariable isnt interpreted as a string butbas a variable by PowerShell.

  • LibreOffice Online, a self-hostable libre office environment, is coming back!

    Jump

  • For a second I read OpenOffice instead of OnlyOffice and was perplexed how one would call that modern lmao

  • (IMO) even better.Give me the package to self-host it.

  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

    Jump

  • If the data is available for mass production, you just need to copy paste the factory and establish the trading partners for supply chains.Not the same issue as, for example, ASML and China.

  • No thermal runaway if I remember correct as those are not prone to exploding (unlike li-ion/li-po)

  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

  • Ever wondered what the salt does after melting?Same issue.

  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

  • I mean the first diagram is effectively useless without knowledge of battery density. They as well could compare the 2010 compacts with 2025s SUVs which have probably 2x the amount of total capacity.For the other charts: Agreed.

  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

    Jump

  • Low capacity is my guess.Dunno if the article is the same I have read a few days ago but the, mentioned "everything" except the comparable capacity to sodium or lithium batteries.And I can't imagine that the capacity for salty water with tofu remnants is much higher than a sodium battery which is atm serialized for mass production runs (isnt it even available in some capacity as a commercial product?)

  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

    Jump

  • Doesnt matter if the capacity is even less than sodium batteries.

    We'll see.

  • One time I shopped for an ESP32 with an USB-C slim cable (3m) and a weather safe enclosure.Amazon: >40€AliExpress: <30€ (incl. shipping but waiting thrice as long).

    Oh well, didnt need it fast anyway ¯(ツ)/¯

  • Amazon sure did refund it.And then proceeded to charge the seller the amount + handling fees.

    Anyway: As I said, AE customer handling is...difficult.

  • Any source for that info? Seems important to know and assert the quality, no?

  • I mean...Sold amd shipped by Amazon is still a thing.But even they sell counterfeited items.

    So the only way to get a 100% genuine item is through the manufacturer (e.g. Samsung and storage media) or hope and pray you don't get a scam product/test it after receiving.

    Honestly: Aliexpress at times feels more genuine than Amazon. If it wasnt for the 20 stores by the same authenticated seller (the seller page is more obscured than on Amazon)

  • Time to replace Amazon dropshipping with AliExpress.Probably same vendor at the end.The only iasue I see is local customer service and return of an order.That is way easier with Amazon (at the cost of the seller).
