The Onion wanted to play on hard mode. How do you write satire when that shit head was in the White House?

The term “historyporn” implies I would take some kind of enjoyment from the photo. Not this one.

If it’s enough negative thoughts pile up, they’ll eventually breach a threshold where people avoid the company. I was looking forward to Metroid Prime 4, but I’m thinking of skipping it now.

I wouldn’t write off EV usage too quickly. The lithium batteries in EVs right now are around 160Wh/kg. The sodium batteries coming out of production lines now are about the same, but are also substantially cheaper, safer, and built out of more abundant materials.

Yes, if you compare them to top of the line lithium batteries coming out of assembly lines now, they don’t look as good, but those batteries aren’t in actual cars yet. It’s very likely that we’ll see cheap EVs running sodium batteries, and they’ll often be good enough. We need more charge stations more than we need better batteries (as far as EVs go).

Yeah, it’s pretty obvious. They really think they’re the first ones to realize this.

Lemmy keeps it real.

I believe so, yes. Every 802.11 frame is effectively ACK’d. Makes a mockery of OSI layering, but so does everything else.

That may end up being correct. The models predicting the most catastrophic effects are often showing that for 2100, which would be nearly 200 years from the publish date.

Right, I think that achievement only happens in the sequals.

I’m not so sure. It’s possible Nintendo opted for a carrot rather than a stick in this case.

This doesn’t seem to have been started with a public C&D letter like usual. Yuzu (the previous Switch emulator that was taken down) incorporated some proprietary Nintendo information, which is why Nintendo had a legal lever against them. They don’t have one in this case, yet it still came down. Plus, everything seems to be have been going on very quiet behind the scenes.

If you were an emulator writer and Nintendo came and offered you life changing money in exchange for ending the project, would you take it? I would have a very hard time turning that down. Nintendo also doesn’t want a flood of yokels trying to start the project up again hoping to receive the same offer; most would fail, but one or two might take off. Better to let the threat be implied.

This is just speculation, of course, but something about the way this has unfolded feels a little different.

There are only so many programmers who are good enough to create an emulator, and a lot of them are already doing other projects. The Switch is also a very complicated system, and it needs a small team to pull it off.

That’s been tested by driving old cars, and no, that’s not it.

Wired reports, “the research included vintage cars up to 70 years old to see if their less aerodynamic shape meant they killed more bugs, but it found that modern cars actually hit slightly more insects.”

Modern cars aren’t necessarily that much more aerodynamic, anyway. Depends on when you’re talking about. Porsche and Chrysler both found just about the most optimal shape for cars back in the 1930s. Chrysler didn’t stick with it, but Porsche did, and the basic idea was rediscovered by everyone else later.

Also, projection. They would withhold funding for disasters in blue states, so obviously Democrats would do the same to red states.

There are actually theories about dissapaiting hurricanes with nukes. A second Trump admin might just try it.

I don’t care much about this particular case, but I don’t want this to be the norm, either. I don’t want to have to drive from McDonalds, OH to Walmart, KY on the I-71 brought to you by Microsoft.

If he’s trying to flip elections, he needs to at least pretend it’s being operated in good faith.

Imagine a hoard of people saying that in a drone similar to “this is extremely dangerous to our democracy”.

They also figure it out with FLIR cameras. A grow operation is going to produce a lot of heat.

This sometimes results in other amazing police work. Like going on the local news and showing the millions of dollars of marijuana plants that were seized in a raid. And then someone points out that they’re actually tomato plants.

The Large Hadron Collider and the International Space Stations are amazing wonders. It used to be that humanity’s most expensive projects were religious temples. Now it’s machines for scientific research. Some people apparently have a problem with this, and they’re generally not the sort of people I like to be around.
