So where do you go for tech advice, niche hobbies and obscure activities?
What propaganda? I think you have to go back and read my post once more... The thread started from solar panels in the desert. At the moment the most widely used grid storage is pumped hydro, how will you do that in the desert? Next most used tech RIGHT NOW is lithium batteries. Other solutions exist, but how many are there implemented and ready to capture that energy right now? Oh, not so many? Then putting up more solar panels hoping that one day we have the storage for them is foolish, these panles lose efficiency over time. I don't have an agenda to spread, there is no propaganda, I am only talking about the an issue which exists, which is energy storage, for which we have some solutions, with their pros and cons, but not close to being implemented.
Chill, no need to be stressed. Part of the ideas you mentioned are already implemented in some cases, but they are not without drawbacks. Pumped hydro is good, but has high maintainance costs, messes with the fish and requires large bodies of water, how do you get tbat in the desert? Flywheels have good inertia, great for stabilizing the grid, Ireland has some for that exact reason, but can't store a whole lot. And heating up roxks and sand may work if you need heat at night, but you need electricity, so you need water to turn into steam to produce it. Sodium batteries look the most promising, we'll see how they develop. But until we get these storqge facilities built, adding more solar would only destabilise the grids even more.
A fetus and a baby are not exactly the same thing, especially only a month in.
So what exactly do you think a russian citizen can do to opose the war? Are you aware of the people protesting with blank peaces of paper being taken away? Or even high ranking people "falling from the balcony"
Do you also think that North Koreans support and enjoy their way of living?
There is a long way from not having much choice in oposing something to actually supporting it...
To ensure your unecrypted data(which is rare these days) is not clear-text in an untrusted network such as public wifi.
No different than the Amazon Echo devices, Google Assisstant hardware and other such devices being sold at a loss just to squeeze all that juicy data.
And people willingly put these spyware always on mic devices in their homes.
We need more awareness on privacy...
Hey, it"s not bad if it's the US doing it... freedom for everyone
EternalBlue says hi
Usb is a carrying digital signals for the most part while headphonea are analog. So you have 2 options:
- Implement some janky non-standard analog audio in some usb alternate mode that will only work with some devices
- Add a digital to analog converter in the plug itself, which is more complex and expensive
Both options prevent you from chanrging while using headphones unless you use a splitter or wireless charging which is not ideal
3.5 mm may not be the king, but it's extremly simple and fairly robust and has little to no disatvantages except for wireless headphones sales ofc. You don't have to charge these heqdphones, you don't have to worry about losing one of them.
Wireless headphonwa have their uses, I doubt they benefit the majority of people tho.
I umderstand your reasoning and I sure hope the fediverse will succeed. I doubt the normies will come over any time soon, but that is not really a bad thing. What is bad tho, is the fragmentation of data over so many instances, duplicate communities not knowing about each other and the censorship some instances apply. I don't even know how some of these will get fixed or if they will ever, as they are core part of a decentralized architecture. I miss infinity tho, eternity for lemmy worked for a while but it's no longer maintained :(
