  • The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started

    Jump

  • A typical phone battery is rated for about 500 (you can massively improve this by not charging it beyond 80%).

    This 80% thing is incredibly simplified and not even always accurate. Personally I charge to about 95% and my phone batteries remain at 98-100% condition after 2 years of everyday use.

    Limiting yourself to 80% doesn't really make sense. You're losing 20% capacity instantly, instead of losing it slowly over a few years. To be fair, a lot of people treat their devices so poorly that they may hit the 80% in less than 12 months, so I guess there's that.

  • I don't know how American birth certificates work. Is he officially female for life, unless he wants it changed?

    I imagine trans people would be quite happy in such a situation. Like winning the lottery.

  • As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity

  • If you're dual booting, Windows may at any time eat the other partition or, more often just its GRUB, leaving you unable to boot into Linux.

    Even if you're using separate drives, the Windows bootloader may still affect your other drives. On one of my old laptops, I had Pop!_OS and Windows on two separate SSDs. After installing Windows on the second drive, it put itself as the first boot device and broke the option to change boot order inside the BIOS. It worked, but only sometimes, and Windows would keep setting itself to the top upon every boot. Might not have been intrinsically a Windows issue, but never happened with other configurations.

  • It's insane how much extra time, effort and sanity you can retain simply by switching to Linux. I initially switched a few years ago, then fully shortly after. Using my PCs has never been better and I had no issues with gaming. The only games that don't work are some of the live service ones I'll never be interested in.

    One of the best decisions in my life, right up there with deleting all social media. Life keeps getting better, relatively speaking, but of course rich pedophiles just can't tolerate us having a good time.

  • Can't find any accessibility setting but fuck the colorblind I guess.

    On Windows 11 there are accessibility settings for colorblind people. Settings -> Accessibility -> Color Filters. There, you can enable the feature and choose the right filter for you. Going by your description, I'm not sure it'll help, but feel free to try it. Colorblind accessibility options have been progressing quite nicely the past few years, so at least there's something to be happy about.

  • 3.5% participation is required for a population to reach a Tipping Point, and start a trend that leads to change.

    Do you have a source for this? I was recently wondering about specific numbers and would happily read something on the topic.

  • Honestly that seems pretty thoughtful of them. Most people I know would give zero shits and just post all that on a chat with vegans and vegetarians. Some of them going out of their way to post them on that chat specifically.

  • Republicans mostly silent as millions of Americans protest Trump on No Kings day

  • First of all, I'm not an American. As much as I despise the American Empire, I hold no ill feelings towards the American people. They are as much victims here as the rest of us.

  • A lot of media outlets worldwide are ignoring these protests or covering them very briefly when nobody's watching. Most likely due to influence from the US.

  • You'd be surprised how many of these "bad things in China" are US propaganda. I guess those millions spent on misinformation are paying off.

  • What do all you coders actually do?

    Jump

  • I'm by no means a veteran programmer, but I do study computer science and write automation scripts at work.

    We get questions like this one every now and then, and usually the answers coming from experienced developers are: "You're looking for an engaging project idea." Not sure if this fits your case, but it seems like it to me.

    Basically, pick your interest and then look for something related to it that you could write code for. You like video games? Try making games, cheats for games, mods or some other companion apps. If you're struggling to find a suitable interest, you can always try writing scripts to automate your everyday computer tasks.

    So my question is, since everyone on lemmy is a programmer, what do you guys actually do?

    The answer to this question will vary a lot, depending on the specifics of the person's job or interests. Though there is often a lot of copying and pasting involved.

  • Same country that just gave Nintendo a patent for a generic game idea thay has been in wide use for years. Yeah... this is strictly about profits from their anime industry. Japan is just as much of a capitalist dystopia as the US is. Though if they manage to hurt the AI 'industry' - nice, I guess?
