  • Tesla Recalls Cybertruck Because Wheels May Fall Off

    Jump

  • There's nothing wrong with glue. Every windshield you see is glued in, most hoods are glued together, every exterior trim on most modern cars is glue. every manufacturer uses probably 80 pounds of adhesives in a car.

    Glue is great. When it's done right.

  • AV2 Specification - Released

    Jump

  • I wouldn't bet on h266 after the clusterfuck that happened with h264/265 license fees. All manufacturers and developers will re-evaluate their codec use if there's a chance their license fees could 10x overnight just because someone felt like it.

  • United flight forced to turn around because of a Bluetooth speaker name

    Jump

  • Its a transatlantic flight, new york origin is probably still the closest airport that can handle the larger plane.

  • The ‘T’ is missing. It just says ‘R-U-M-P.’ It says Rump,” Melanie Petit told NBC 6 about a $640 watch she received as a present from her husband

  • time to start the 12 year countdown to ever seeing it in a single consumer product

  • Postal Service moving forward with Trump’s attack on mail voting

    Jump

  • It'll be shot down in the courts, while Trump cronies ignore it and fuck up the elections anyway. They don't care, if they stay in power the court rulings won't matter.

  • Biggest print so far. About 42 hours and 2.6kg of filament. No, I don't have room for a table saw, how did you know?

    Jump

  • Tbf, 2.6kilos of bulk china PLA is probably cheaper than the sheet of plywood and glue+screws it would have taken to build that.

  • For Americans who still use cash, what's the highest bill denomination you commonly use?

    Jump

  • I do a lot of Marketplace/Craigslist deals so in terms of total cash volume I probably handle $100 the most.

    Day to day it's $20 and $5. Getting places to break a $50 is hard.

  • Cities Are Covering Flock Cameras With Trash Bags

    Jump

  • I 100% guarantee that "deactivated" cameras are still operational. It's just not the City getting the data.

  • Where to get third party UPS batteries?

    Jump

  • I've bought some brand called MightyMax on the rainforest site for replacement UPS batteries They work good. My friend who works IT swears by them to recondition old APC Schneider units.

    Generally cheap sealed AGM lead acids are a lot safer than cheap lithium, the chemistry is simpler, harder to fuck up and the internal safeties are mechanical, not BMS based. Thry may have slightly lower capacity than a name brand cell but for emergency backup when home labbing it won't matter.

  • How do I manually check for BIOS security updates from my motherboard manufacturer?

    Jump

  • I... Haven't actually seen Windows ever push auto updates to my BIOS either except through enterprise utilities by companies like Dell. I have always had to manually update BIOS firmware.

    Generally speaking though, BIOS is one of those things where if it is working, you don't mess with it. Occasionally chipset security patches get pushed in BIOS updates but that's about the only reason to update.

  • America's tech-filled classrooms are facing a backlash against school-assigned devices

    Jump

  • Tech has a place yes, the problem is school admins have chosen to use it as a replacement for competent, well compensated teachers.

  • Republican lawmakers warn of ‘disastrous mistake’ as Trump nears deal with Iran

  • Obama created

    That would be the exact reason trump would tear it down with glee.

  • Shut the fuck up you senile turtle, you CREATED this.

  • Trump’s Endgame Is Surrender. He seems to hope to slip away without Americans noticing the magnitude of this defeat.

    Jump

  • He also hopes to slip away without us noticing the tens of billions of dollars he is siphoning off.
