Just a shame that Sony only sell them in a few countries. They’re quite difficult and expensive to get in most parts of the world.

I don’t want one. It’s a cool technological feat, but like a transparent monitor or flexible keyboard, it just doesn’t make sense for my needs.

I’ve suggested to my work that if they really want people back in the office full time, they should offer those that return a 4-day work week as a meaningful incentive to compensate for the lost time and money to commuting. Still waiting for them to implement that one…

Yeah I’m really surprised they didn’t go with a laptop screen rather than a monitor designed to be left in a fixed place! Whoever’s first to market with a good laptop e-ink display is going to rake it in.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen TPU cards (think Coral AI but at a larger scale) being made and sold for this purpose, especially if they’re faster and more energy efficient at AI-oriented tasks than GPUs.

I have absolutely no idea why anyone buys inkjet printers or cartridge razors. There are perfectly good alternatives that don’t try and force you into a subscription model.

I’m not across the market sadly as I’m rocking an old Samsung colour laser that’s no longer available. In 15 years I’ve changed the toner cartridges once. It’s USB only, but a Raspberry Pi running CUPS converted it to a network printer.

My advice would be to go second hand on older laser printers. I just use my phone to scan documents these days.

The battery is 48V DC. It uses an inverter to produce 240V AC, similar to solar installations.

I’d love to hear more about this - do you do it professionally (for preventative reasons), as a side hobby, or as an attacker for malicious/selfish reasons? No judgement, genuinely curious as it takes a certain personality type to do this kind of work and I find it really interesting.

Also worth pointing out that every nationalist identifies as a patriot due to the negative connotations of the former.

Even if she gets everything overturned eventually (and it seems there’s a strong case for that), the amount of stress and short-term expenses this piles on someone for being a victim of a data breach is absurd. If she’s forced to pay, really Medibank should have to cough up for not protecting their user data.

I’m confused why the IP address of a resource is changing for you when you’re moving in/out of the wireguard tunnel? In my setup the LAN IP addresses always stay the same whether I’m on the local network or accessing remotely, It’s just the route to them that changes (over a different ethernet adapter). Perhaps that’s what you meant, or there’s some crazy configs out there I’m unaware of.

Even when you finally think you understand how something works, it’s only temporary. Give it enough time and you’ll look back at mysterious code you wrote years ago and think “Wow, they sure knew what they were doing!”

Thanks for the nostalgia. Haven’t seen the LHA file format in the wild for years!

Metallic spheres are one of the easiest things to create naturally. We used the principle in shot towers throughout history to make bullets. I’m just an armchair expert, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least we’d see near-perfect metallic spheres from a meteor burning up in the atmosphere.

r/australia deciding to stay open during the Reddit blackout was the perfect summary of Aussie culture.

“Yeah nah we totally support this, but we’re not actually going to do anything about it mate”

Q. How do you know an open source project is written in Rust?

A. Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

For Lemmy posts I don’t mind so much, but I hope this doesn’t become the norm for comments. Mastodon and Lemmy offer pretty different styles of social media conversation, and I could see things getting messy for users if they bleed into each other too much. Maybe it’s just a UX issue that needs to be solved.

It’s the written equivalent of wearing a suit in the office.

Thermal cameras are also really handy for electronics repair and spotting invisible water leaks in ceilings.
