You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …
I really like the Bedtime Mode that Android has as a part of Digital Wellbeing. At a specified time, it will turn the screen grayscale, dim the wallpaper, etc....
I’m using f.lux right now, it’s great. Set it and forget it, it slowly recolors the screen as you get closer to night. And you can set to to automatically disable itself when you run any program you specify. So if you want to watch a movie, the colors will return to normal when you open the program.
The Embraer Legacy 600 business jet with registration number RA-02795, which belonged to Yevgeny Prigozhin, was shot down by air defense fire in the Bologovsky district of the Tver region.
Initially, there were seven people on board. Before the plane crash, local residents listened to two bursts of characteristic air defense, and this is confirmed by contrails in the sky in one of the videos, as well as the words of direct eyewitnesses.
I used to design steering columns, and it’s really not as important as you think. In the event of an issue, the car will eventually come to a stop regardless of steering performance.
You’re getting downvoted but absolutely right. The pressure on engineers to reduce cost, weight, cost, cost, and weight is immeasurable. This should have been caught in PT testing, and also after the first recall, but mid-level managers are very willing to sign off on engineering changes if there’s any chance of reducing cost. And weight. But mostly cost.
You think I’m projecting because some people in this country are willing to swear fealty to one man regardless of that man’s capability or worthiness? In their own words “no matter what”. Seems weird, being willing to take an oath of loyalty to anyone.
Or perhaps you think there are some people willing to support Biden regardless of the situation. You might be right, but I’m going to call out anybody that says that, too.
crash testing is done between 35 and 40 mph. At those speeds the car is usually undrivable after the test. Over that speed you risk damage to very expensive test equipment.
Charter just increased my bill, and now for $5 more I can get a fiber connection from the city. So that’s what I’m doing. They will provide a new modem for free (technically free, I suppose). I’m lucky enough to live in a place where they’re municipal competition, even though Charter has fought it repeatedly.
The one I have is Docsis 3 (maybe 3.1?), but I have no idea how fiber modems are categorized. Maybe I should look into that 😬 .
I don’t like the default of Lemmy opening links in the current window, because sometimes I open a few links at a time. And I dropped my mouse, it landed on the wheel, and the middle button is broken (I know, I know). But this seems like something that should have a setting somewhere anyway.
Only if you can put the license itself on the blockchain, and guarantee the blockchain is robust enough to last beyond Gamestop’s bankruptcy. Or survive past the day Gamestop decides they can make more money by destroying the current blockchain and “upgrading” the system.
I don’t think anyone can say that Gamestop will definitely be around longer than people want to use these licenses they sell. And I hope the license isn’t just a pointer to some Gamestop website that stores the licenses (re: standard NFT). But I don’t trust any corporation to do something like this without building in some sort of backdoor to revoke licenses. Especially Gamestop.
It doesn’t matter if the blockchain is eternal, if this is a traditional NFT, it isn’t stored in the blockchain. All you’re buying is a link to a website where the NFT is stored. It doesn’t matter if it’s a license key, or a shitty computer generated picture of an anthropomorphic ape. When Gamestop decides to shut down the server (it will happen eventually), you lose access to your license key. If Gamestop allows you to copy your license key, you still lose access to your software when Gamestop shuts down the licensing server. I’m not sure the technology works the way you think it works.
