  • I'm imagining some poor rube who bought fully into the IoT. Like every appliance they own is smart. Then one day they wake up to their entire house no longer functioning because the smart devices can't connect to whatever services they need. Can't even work the smart locks on their doors.

    Comfort is more important than freedom?

    Jump

  • A security camera on every corner may infringe on your rights but it also helps massively in fighting crime. You can go down the path of insecure freedom, or captive security. More safety, or more freedom. Some will value one over the other.

  • Why stop there? Let's get our own internet too. Euronet or something.

  • An in-space construction firm says it can help build massive data centers in orbit

    Jump

  • If it was impossible to remove heat from things in space we wouldn't have spacecraft or satellites. We wouldn't have a permanently manned research outpost in orbit. Hell, the Earth would probably be a big molten ball of lava. But we can effectively remove heat from an in-vacuum system that produces its own heat, all you need are radiators. If it's radiating too slowly, you get a bigger radiator.

  • An in-space construction firm says it can help build massive data centers in orbit

    Jump

  • There are some various ways. Radiators can be large and thin, and as long as the heat-sensitive part of the thing is kept cool it doesn't really matter how hot the rest of it gets.

  • Trump Administration Providing Weapons Grade Plutonium to Sam Altman

    Jump

  • Other nations should be responding to this as an attack. It's endangering the whole world.

    TIL Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center, secured insurance coverage for the complex, including terrorism risk, six weeks before the September 11, 2001 attacks.

    Jump

  • What if the conspiracy isn't that the government secretly did 9/11 to justify war in the Middle East, but instead it's the world's largest insurance scam?

  • When I was a kid my dad always said no to building a tree house because hammering nails into the tree could kill it. I'm still wondering if he's right or if he was just too lazy to build a tree house.

  • Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like

    Jump

  • Unless you build it and code it yourself, do not get a smart device at any cost. Even if they're on sale for $5. (Unless you're just planning on reselling them I guess)

  • I wish I was so naïve

  • What's the most impressive video game mod you've ever come across?

    Jump

  • Given the amount of fiddling I had to do to get it running on Windows, I do not want to try it on Linux (unless you own it on GoG, in which case it's apparently easy)

  • Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House

  • At this point, if you buy a smart thing you have to know it's spyware.

  • What the most memorable moment from any video game?

    Jump

  • I'm gonna go with a moment from Final Fantasy XIV.
