Heat is the killer for car batteries too; much to my surprise, I had to buy far more in south Texas than upstate New York. Cold makes batteries less capable, but heat accelerates degradation dramatically.

It’s also significantly more potent making smuggling that much more efficient. Orders of magnitude more doses per unit mass.

I’ve reconstituted a ton of lyophilized vials of controls for medical lab analyzers. Interesting to hear about how they’re made, thanks for sharing.

I’m pretty sure the only actual use cases are berries and fruits.

Also great for making great hash out of weed

Mine has been relegated to BIOS updates, still doing a great job just a bit small these days.

I downloaded new drivers today without an account, but there’s dark pattern bullshit trying to get you to install GeForce Experience. I didn’t need to sign in to download drivers though.

Last time Apple tried to do modems they were clearly inferior to Qualcomm. I hope it goes better with these WiFi chips.

I’ve seen semi-trucks disintegrate after hitting a dear.

I’d like to see that, I’ve seen modern regular full size trucks annihilate a deer without disintegrating. Semis wouldn’t be bothered much unless you’re talking about something larger like a moose. Deer are about the same weight as humans, whatever is good at killing humans is usually good for deer.

The average weight of an adult male is 203 lb (maximum, 405 lb). The average weight of a female is about 155 lb (maximum, 218 lb).

Why would the TSA have anything to do with Delta’s IT operations?

In March 2023, the TSA added a cybersecurity emergency amendment to its cybersecurity programs. The amendment required airlines like Delta to develop “policies and controls to ensure that operational technology systems can continue to safely operate in the event that an information technology system has been compromised,” CrowdStrike’s complaint said.

Guess that’s why.

Experts determined that the ship’s condition was stable.

Kinda weird to hear the ship talked about in the same language as a human patient in a hospital.

You can’t filter out ions of calcium like that. A huge reverse osmosis system for the entire home would be prohibitively expensive. I used to live in an area with very hard water and everyone had water softeners. You only need to buy the salt every few months and it’s not too bad. RO filters were only connected to a tap on the side of the sink in the kitchen - those membranes aren’t cheap.

I just watched a YouTube video by The Operations Room on the Cologne bombing, it was the first time the allies (possibly anyone?) did a 1000-plane bombing run. Insane scale.

Cable management inside my PC case vs cable management behind my desk. The former is close to immaculate, the latter is no fucks given.

Bad only in a time sense. There’s nothing bad safety wise, slow charging decreases heat and prolongs battery longevity.

I went to court for a traffic ticket and the cop didn’t show up, so I didn’t get charged with anything. Poof, gone. Just be honest and courteous and you’ll be as fine as you can be given the situation.

Just got an email from HaveIBeenPwned.com stating 31 million logins were leaked. Email address, username, and bcrypt hashed passwords were obtained.

Edit: probably should have read the article before posting

I appreciate the insight. Just curious, do you have a link to things I should be disabling in group policy?

Typically I’m not a fan of modifying that much especially registry wise, as I feel this is a cause for many people’s problems, but I’m not uncomfortable making GP changes if they make sense.

I’m currently using W11 Pro activated with massgravel scripts and I’ve got DNS level blocking set up on my network, although I’m not sure how well that does at blocking telemetry. It’s my second line ad block primarily.

I really don’t see the issue with W11. It works fine. As did 10, and 8.1. I’ve not encountered any ads or many of the other shitty things that are constantly reported on.
