Technology@lemmy.world•Why don't smart watches use USB-C to recharge?English
4·6 months agoIt doesn’t need all that. All the complexity is because of stuff that’s been added to the spec. 500ma@5v will just work if all you only connect is + & -

Fediverse@lemmy.world•As governments around the world are set to make the Internet more restrictive and privacy-invading, we need a solutionEnglish
2·6 months agoTribler has inbuilt onion routing. If I understand it correctly, tribler <-> tribler connections don’t need exit nodes and it’s fast enough to stream video

I feel like the sort of people that want to close libraries, want to close libraries because people use them.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Labour suspends Diane Abbott for second time over racism comments
44·6 months agoWhat she said is so obviously true that her comments biggest flaw is it’s redundancy. She’s talking about Tomiwa Owolade’s words on racism in Britain. A copper isn’t going to spot you from 50 yards away and stop you based on the fact that you’re Irish or Jewish because they can’t see that. Security isn’t going to follow you around a shop and hurry you out the door because you’re Irish or Jewish because they can’t see that.
I hate identity politics and hierarchies of oppression and language pedantry and all that more than the next person. But when you pretend to not understand an argument which is so obvious and valid, it’s hard to believe you’re here with honest intent.

/r/50501 Mirror@50501.chat•What do you all think about this?English
16·6 months agoHe’s right. It doesn’t mean you hate foreigners to understand why bosses would prefer to hire someone with less rights and who needs less money to raise their family through remittances.
OP is just atheist propaganda. It’s actually because of ghosts. Don’t get complacent near the corn fields.

Fediverse memes@feddit.uk•When you're not the only person watching a peertube videoEnglish
20·6 months agoThe underlying tech was designed with HD video conferencing in mind. It’ll happily max out your connection. As long as the server has enough bandwidth to upload one stream and the average peer can handle uploading one stream it’s theoretically infinitely scalable

Fediverse memes@feddit.uk•When you're not the only person watching a peertube videoEnglish
27·6 months agoI want PewDiePie to try peertube on his self hosting arc, if only to see what happens with thousands of simultaneous viewers.

TechTakes@awful.systems•AI coders think they’re 20% faster — but they’re actually 19% slowerEnglish
11·6 months agoThis is a very “nine women can make a baby in one month”.
The idea that there can even be two half as good developers is a misunderstanding of how anything works. If it worked like that, the study would be a dud because people could just run two AIs for 160% productivity.

Technology@lemmy.world•BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full HitlerEnglish
18·6 months agoI wonder if she signed an NDA that prevents her from saying she was greeted on her last day by a manic sweaty wide-eyed Elon musk demanding he be referred to as mechahitler.

Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish
4·6 months agoI think it was only like 24 hours. It’s all automated though. So you get a thirty second countdown mashing buttons to try and work out how to get your headlights on if you spawn at night.

11·6 months agoI actually made it because I got banned because I couldn’t use my lights in euro truck simulator 2 multiplayer mod. I’m not sure I’d want to use it in any competitive games as it’d likely break off if I got mad.

Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish
8·6 months agoIt’s an extra 12 button Bluetooth controller using an esp32 dev board. So your games need to allow you to use multiple controllers. You could also program it to send keyboard keys but I haven’t tried it.

Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish
11·6 months agoYou can download an stl for the battery cover. I modified it to allow the backpack controller to attach to/detach from the main controller. The original is in a box somewhere safe and well.

25·6 months agoWhen your villain origin story is getting banned from a truck simulator mod because you forgot the macro to turn the headlights on.

Casual UK@feddit.uk•Hot as hell, but not a mozzy in sight?English
1·7 months agoDo we even have mozzies? I thought we just had midges in this country. Maybe I don’t know what a mozzy is.















I genuinely thought that film was supposed be, well not bad, but a selfish indulgence. Like we weren’t supposed to like it, he just decided had the money and opportunity to make something that only appeals to him and we could watch it if we want. It’s like he got the aux cable on a road trip and decided to put on industrial drone music.
