I would seriously doubt it, not because it’s impossible, but because it’s massively impractical.
It turns out that wireless charging is shockingly inefficient. The antennas you would need are way bigger than you could carry practically, and the amount of power you receive is very tiny compared to the amount of voltage you’re pushing through.
A YouTuber I like actually built a setup like this in a recent video.
Isn’t this basically what TOR and I2P are for?
This asshole has learned to claw at my back through the chair when he wants attention and it startles me every time.
I think brainslugs are bad, actually.
Absolutely, thats something you get with population centers, but I think they’re farther right politically than most major US citites.
Miami, maybe. But I think they’re still pretty left in comparison to the Rest of Florida
This is the thing that old people get where they think that every issue works both ways. They care about Trump so they assume we have the same opinions about the liberal elites like Clinton or Biden, or Obama.
This is also where the “Father, I cannot click the book” comes from. They can’t find reliable info online and think that kids cant find reliable info from books.
Almost certainly no. This is the gateway for “the algorithm” to start recommending pop science and science communicators, and from there, a seed will sprout for people to get interested in “real science”
The jar with the stern chinese woman on the label contains wonders.
A crate full of microSD cards shipped as cargo could deliver speeds like this with a ping time measured in hours
Satisfactory was a phenomenal video game that you guys can play together. Not quite like Minecraft, but similar.
Bitwarden is FOSS but requires some technical setup and has no redundancy.
Bitwarden offers a cloud-based service in addition to self-hosted options. I choose to pay $10/year to get access to store OTP codes and easy Yubikey enrollment
Oh, I fully agree.
I really want to go back to electronics and appliances being both more robust and more repairable. It’s just that the vast majority of the population disagrees with that once they learn that it will make things cost more initially.
I think the “black box” nature of electronics is mostly illusory due to how we treat our devices. A friend bought a walking treadmill that wouldn’t turn on out of the box. She contacted the company, they told her to trash it and just shipped her a new one.
She gave it to me, I took it apart. One of the headers that connects the power switch to the mainboard was just unplugged. It took literally 10 minutes to “fix” including disassembly and assembly, and all I needed was a screwdriver.
This is a symptom of industry switching to cheap “disposable” electronics, rather than more expensive, robust, and repairable ones.
From the treadmill company’s point of view, it’s cheaper to just lose one unit and pay shipping one way rather than pay to have the unit returned, spend valuable technician time diagnosing and fixing an issue and then pay to ship the repaired unit back.
About 50 years ago, you could find appliance repair shops that would fix your broken toaster or TV, and parts for stuff like that were easily available. Now, with the advanced automation in building these, combined with the increased difficulty of repair(fine-work soldering, firmware debuging and the like) it makes way more sense to just replace the whole thing.
It is very reasonable. No one forced Valve to build their business model this way, and they are one of the most profitable companies per employee, ever.
Literally every software company built their business model this way. Go open a support case with any software vendor complaining that their product won’t run on Windows 98 and see how many help you out beyond “Buy a computer from this millennium”
It would not be onerous for them to continue supporting a couple of old versions of Windows, they would just have to hire a few more people to do it.
You are failing to understand just how much has changed since Windows 98. It’s a completely different environment that requires specialized knowledge to develop for. They can’t just dust off some old source code and re-release the client. The entire back-end has changed. It would be a massive undertaking that would appease about 12 people total.
Gabe would still be a billionaire.
Sure, but I would argue that there are a lot of better things that Valve could be doing with those resources than supporting Windows 98
This is Dunning Kruger in effect. You actually know way more than you think because you’re more aware of what you don’t know than a total beginner.
Also, as far as wanting to switch back goes, That’s a path of least resistance. For a multitude of reasons, stock Windows is simply easier to use than Linux for most people. Especially if you’re already used to Windows’ workflows and its particular quirks. And somewhat ironically, Linux is harder to adapt to if you’re a power user. Power users tend to use their PC for more things than a basic user does, and therefore need to configure more things to work properly.
