  • This is the technology community. If you're not interested in reading about new and groundbreaking tech, maybe you should block this one, start a consumerism community, all about stuff you can buy.

    The rest of us are quite happy reading about potential ideas and research that may or may not become something profitable.

  • 80s Nostalgia AI Slop Is Boomerfying the Masses for a Past That Never Existed

    Jump

  • There's a lot to be said for the late 90's. Post Cold War, but pre 9/11.

    It's not perfect for everyone, especially if you're LGBT+, but it's got a lot going for it.

  • Quentin Tarantino weighs in on one of cinema’s big questions: what is the best Tarantino movie?

  • I think Kill Bill is the movie I was born to make, I think Inglourious Basterds is my masterpiece but Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood is my favourite.

  • Gavin Newsom continues to troll Trump

    Jump

  • I think you're missing the news about JB Pritzker.

  • GOP's Texas map has Austin residents sharing district with rural Texans 300 miles away

    Jump

  • But it creates others. In the US we vote for people, in proportional representing, you vote for parties.

    You can argue that's better, but it's very different from what we have now.

  • ’Reacher’s Alan Ritchson Gave A Scathing Takedown Of Trump — And Conservatives Are Not Happy

  • This story is from April 2024.

    Nice to hear he was speaking out well before the election.

  • The man who banned abortion in Texas is accused by an exotic dancer of paying for multiple abortions

  • Valid kinks require consent. This was forcing your sexual depravity upon non-consenting people, probably including children.

    This isn't a kink, it's abuse.

  • Why don't smart watches use USB-C to recharge?

    Jump

  • I had one with solar and one without, I think the solar is mostly useless.

    It only takes a short time to charge it up with the USB charger (proprietary charger, FYI) so I don't think it really matters.

  • I have a Garmin watch. Lasts 2+ weeks on a charge depending on how I use it.

  • Gunman Fatally Shoots Officer and 3 Others in Midtown Office Tower

    Jump

  • A gunman armed with an assault-style rifle walked into a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper on Monday evening and began firing, killing a New York City police officer, fatally shooting three other people and critically wounding a fifth before killing himself, officials said.

    New York City, since it wasn't clear from the headline/summary.

  • 1 big SSD or multiple? New NAS build.

    Jump

  • RAID helps protect you from certain failures, and also allows you to add more storage inexpensively. Typically buying multiple small drives is cheaper than one larger drive, but you do have to buy at least one extra drive for failure.

    You do need to plan for backups. RAID is not a backup, it doesn't protect you from fires, computer failure, or accidentally deleting things. So a backup is necessary. Look into 3-2-1 backup solutions. At least 3 copies of your data, 2 different hardware types (like SSD and HDD), with at least 1 offsite copy.

    People often keep their NAS at home, with a cloud storage provider as an offsite backup, and an external drive for local backup.

    If you have the money, and a family or friend with space, you can buy multiple complete NAS solutions and back them up to each other.

  • People think American cheese and think Kraft.

    People think American chocolate and think Hershey.

    People think American beer and think Budweiser.

    People think American burgers and think McDonald's.

    They just know the cheap, bland international brands, but not the amazing regional stuff.

    America is a huge diverse place, with amazing food, amazing people, and amazing landscapes, but they only experience the cheap stuff, cause the best stuff isn't made for export.

    Edit: they've never had Wisconsin string cheese where you can see the handprints of the person who made it, and it shows.

  • Like clockwork, Peacock is raising subscription prices again

    Jump

  • I recently subscribed. It's only $3/mo so it's really inexpensive, but also it feels like it's just a heavily curated YouTube.

    There's nothing I've found on nebula that's not also on YouTube. The only real benefit (to me, not the creators) is that there's no sponsorship in the video.

    That being said, the app isn't as polished and I feel like I'm just remembering which creators I follow on both and when I see a new video from one of them in YouTube, I flip to nebula to watch it, then go back to YouTube for my other subscriptions.

  • Illinois keeps 988 lifeline for LGBTQIA+ youth even after national extension hangs up

  • The feds cut services but not taxes, which means when the states have to fill in the gaps this is going to be a big tax increase.

    We need these services, so the tax increases are not optional. We're getting screwed by the feds wasting money on racism instead of kindness.

  • Jeopardy!'s Ken Jennings won't support Gavin Newsom for president due to trans kids stance

    Jump

  • That's a red herring. Also, the science doesn't match the fear. Anyone on hormonal blockers to transition to female no longer has a biological advantage.

    It's the same old racist, sexist, other-ist argument disguised as fairness.

  • Walmart recalls water bottles after two customers suffer blindness

    Jump

  • The Ozark Trail water bottles also caused other injuries, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission said the screw-cap lid on the stainless steel water bottles, which hold 64 ounces, may “forcefully eject” when opening them after they have been used to hold food or beverages for a period of time.
