  • 'Grounds for expulsion': GOP senator accused of 'mocking' the murder of two Dems

    Jump

  • Last I checked, murder is still illegal in Minnesota - a pardon won't do much to offset multiple life sentences.

  • Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phone

    Jump

  • Idk the exact number but the camera in my phone probably weighs like a gram or so, so Einstein tells me I'm carrying about 25,000,000 kWh in the camera alone, which if served at 5V would be ~ 5,000,000,000 5,000,000,000,000 mAh.

    Guess I'm winning.

    Edit: mafs.

  • Can't sound transfer through the casing even if it's not vibrating air in the process?

  • Lawsuit Challenging 2024 Election Results Moves Forward After Kamala Harris Received Zero Votes in a New York County

    Jump

  • Others clearly have their pitch forks ready to go but the real reason here is because they won NY. I'd be shocked if any presidential candidate in the history of the US demanded a recount in a state they won.

    Is 0 votes suspicious? Absolutely. Is the recount process the right way to uncover something happening at a scale to compromise an entire district's election process? Probably not.

    According to Balletpedia, it's unclear who in NY even pays for a voluntary recount (NY has mandatory recounts in close elections).

    However suspicious this district is, it's not justification for a recount in another district in a completely different state.

    If there is interference at a meaningful scale, it's not going to be uncovered by volunteers working without sleep to deliver election results as quickly as humanly possible. The wheels of justice turn far top slowly.

    A lawsuit is a good first step.

  • Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor Backlash

    Jump

  • You can click on the terms you don't know to learn about them.

    This is what makes Wikipedia special. Not the fact that it is a giant encyclopedia, but that you can quickly and logically work your way through a complex subject at your pace and level of understanding. Reading about elements but don't know what a proton is? Guess what, there's a link right fucking there!

  • TIL there's a solar powered pink refrigerator in the Namib Desert

    Jump

  • My kitchen fridge is relatively new, uses ~1.25 kWh/day, typically draws ~100W when running and never really goes over 200W

    My garage fridge is older and cheaper and uses about the same amount of energy, but power occasionally spikes >1kW

    With batteries, both could be powered with just ~200 W worth of panels. Without batteries, you may want a little more power or a descent capacitor to make sure you can handle the start-up loads.

    Given it's out in direct sunlight all day, you may need an extra 200W or so to offset the solar hear gain.

    A typical rooftop panel is ~300-400W, so 1 would probably do it.

  • Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours

    Jump

  • Also probably gonna turn out it dissolves into smaller plastics, perfectly sized for penetrating the blood-brain-barrier.

    Edit: I get it, no new technology has ever had issues with safety and efficacy uncovered after entering mass production and being discarded with reckless abandon in our environment

    I apologize to the articles authors for my cynicism, it is clear from the article that nothing bad could possibly come from allowing this new plastic to dissolve in our oceans. It is nice to see plastic pollution has been definitively solved for the rest of time and we no longer have to worry about it.

  • I'm making a guide to Pocket alternatives: getoffpocket.com

    Jump

  • Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.

    If you're already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you're not bookmarking constantly.

    If you're doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).

    I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced

  • True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup)

    Jump

  • Math remembers to carry the units for kilowatt hours.

    That said, I'd pay $1.11/mo just to never have to deal with a cable on my desk again.

  • Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Yes and no, I've treated the symptoms, but not the problem. All it takes is a trillion dollar company buying a new domain every once in a while to foil uBlock, and now that it's more known, anyone can create an an app that opens ports and listens for trackers.

    Would love it if Firefox would let me block all requests to localhost.

  • [Question] How do I make my curry taste like the stuff from a Thai restaurant?

    Jump

  • And she suggests using fresh chilis, lime leaves, and basil.

    To be clear for the gringos in the chat, these would be "Thai chili peppers", "kaffir lime leaves", and "Thai basil", all of which should be readily available at your nearest Asian market.

    You snip some leaves off the citrus tree in your backyard, add some jalapeños, and sweet basil you're gonna have a whole different dish.

  • Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • We found that browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Edge are susceptible to this form of browsing history leakage in both default and private browsing modes. Brave browser was unaffected by this issue due to their blocklist and the blocking of requests to the localhost; and DuckDuckGo was only minimally affected due to missing domains in their blocklist.

    Aside from having uBlock Origin and not having any Meta/Yandex apps installed, anyone aware of additional Firefox settings that could help shut this nonsense down?

  • Microsoft Gives European Union Users More Control: Uninstall Edge, Store, and Say Goodbye to Bing Prompts

    Jump

  • But I thought Edge was so crucial for the system to function it can't be removed? That's what MS told me at least, and I definitely trust them

  • If there was any TV show that was cancelled or cut short that you could see the planned continuation/ending of, which would you choose?

    Jump

  • No, I don't think that's right... It was like Inflamedinsects or something similar... It was super low-key, not a lot of people have heard about it, zero chance someone on Lemmy would post it.

  • If there was any TV show that was cancelled or cut short that you could see the planned continuation/ending of, which would you choose?

    Jump

  • Nooooo waaay.... Realllly?

  • If there was any TV show that was cancelled or cut short that you could see the planned continuation/ending of, which would you choose?

    Jump

  • I don't know if you guys have heard but there was this one sci-fi show on Fox that was aired out of order then canceled after only one season. It got a movie for some closure, but would have been nice to continue.

    I forget the name... Burnybug or something like that... It's not very well known on the internet, so I'd be surprised if anyone else were to bring it up in a thread like this.

  • Google is Using AI to Censor Independent Websites

    Jump

  • Yes but also stop using Google

  • Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.

    Jump

  • Because I'm buying the $8 option from a company called "XYBENOZ". Without reading the reviews I already know there's a 56% chance of failure, but I'm willing to take that risk because then it's Amazon's problem.
