The Pixel Tablet is actually just a few spare parts in a half-empty body [article headline] (arstechnica.com)

I am not sure where I land on this issue, I am not entirely sold that it should have been filled to the brim and packed tightly but it does seem like they could have done better either for repairability or at least having things like a headphone jack and maybe better speakers (I have read that speakers can do better with more...

RobotToaster,

Kind of annoying, they could have used that space for a bigger battery, bigger heatsink, memory card reader, more ports, etc.

RobotToaster,

KGB still exists in Belarus.

RobotToaster,

I’d say it was written by an AI, but I doubt even an AI would make such a mistake.

RobotToaster,

So MI5 can get parties to drop candidates just by saying they “could” be a spy, without proof, or conviction?

Literally anyone “could” be a spy.

Doesn’t that mean the spooks can basically veto any candidate they don’t like?

RobotToaster,

Perhaps it’s more to do with changes to the internet over the past 5 or so years? Such as the pervasive rise of algorithmic feeds designed to drive “engagement”?

RobotToaster,

Looking at their annual report on company house, last year they had a total revenue of £228,923, hardly a “giant”.

RobotToaster,

Damn, imagine dying during open heart surgery because some old fart couldn’t stop himself from grabbing a booby.

more likely to fail to compare a photo ID to the person presenting that document if the person is of a different ethnicity

Wait, are they saying if someone is a different ethnicity they are more likely to not check if the ID matches?

That’s how it reads to me but I don’t think it’s the intention?

RobotToaster,

Yeah, that’s what I assumed it was supposed to mean, but it really doesn’t read that way to me.

Scientists Discover Natural Molecule That Eradicates Plaques and Cavities (scitechdaily.com)

Scientists have discovered that the molecule DIM reduces biofilms causing dental plaque by 90%. Its addition to toothpaste and mouthwash could revolutionize dental hygiene. 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) decreased the Streptococcus mutans biofilm, a leading contributor to plaque and cavities, by 90%....

RobotToaster,

It’s also the main component of some plastic model glues.

RobotToaster,

If they were popular with the upper class she wouldn’t be doing this.

RobotToaster,

As someone who mostly likes those things, that does seem to be a big problem here.

RobotToaster,

Beehaw is looking to shut down and or completely defederate.

They already de-federated 447 instances, I doubt that will make much difference.

Table salt offers a safe, inexpensive and reusable pathway to recovering useful products from plastic waste (phys.org)

RobotToaster,

when one of the sponsors of the research is someone who directly benefits from its findings.

That’s basically all of them

RobotToaster,

Paying off the loan they took out to compensate the slave owners for their “property” to be more precise.
