  • I've worked in industrial automation for the past 18 years. What you're talking about is lights-out manufacturing. While this may be the state of the art in some sectors, it's definitely not for most sectors and even less in the aged installed base in the US.

    The investment to bring old factories even close to fully automated is simply not being made, and for good reason. The sad reality is that exploiting humans to do a lot of the more expensive to automate work is cheaper.

  • I'm not. The only thing they got going for them is the nazi in chief. The software was never the point.

  • TIL about Thermoelectricity

  • Peltier devices are what was usually used in car mounted "fridges" years ago. Not sure now. They're not very efficient, so they're only used when heat pumps aren't practical.

  • Microsoft punishes idiots who purchased a "perpetual" license of Office 2019 for Mac by disabling it next month, pirates unaffected

    Jump

  • Weird. Works fine for me. Here's the text:

    Disclaimer: I wrote "idiot" to describe someone who paid for the product not because they're actually idiots, but it's because Microsoft is treating them like that: their official solution on the website is "simply subscribe to the latest and greatest or buy a new "perpetual" license to office 2024 to continue using what you paid for"

  • California ‘billionaire tax’ makes ballot despite opposition from tech moguls

    Jump

  • [...] but powerful organizations in the state have also stepped in to oppose it. Those include the California Teachers Association, the State Building and Construction Trades Council of California, the California Medical Association and Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California.

    Why the fuck is Planned Parenthood against a billionaire tax?!

  • There are missing links in that polycule. You forgot Julian's involuntary platonic friend Jadzia, her boyfriend Worf, her lover Neris, Neris's boyfriend Odo, Odo's sub Quark...

  • TIL that half the visual information from each retina goes to one hemisphere of the brain, rather than one eye per hemisphere

    Most Transsexual Porn Is Watched By Straight Men

  • Thank you! Not gonna lie, that was underwhelming. Also, I really hope the double f and double m variants don't stick, because that is a hot mess. While the new terms clarify language and improve communication, the doubles just make communication hard and imprecise.

  • Not a time order, the order in which the OC presented their 3 examples. What to name:

    1. A man that wears dresses: crossdresser
    2. A drag queen: drag queen
    3. Someone who is transitioning: transgender

    I hope what I meant is clear now.
