I mean, it's not like it's impossible to assemble a team that can become top talent. But they need the ability to "level up" (by working with already existing high tech). And then they leave for the US anyway heh.

There's this obsession with the iPod like it was the first mp3 player in the world. It wasn't even the best. I had an MP3 player before I heard about the iPod, moved on to PDAs with MMC cards for music (because why have two separa

Afaik, it has little to do with the user-facing software, you need access to the baseband modem part.

You don't need hardware for that. Just need to be able to program your own carrier profile... which I guess is very hard to impossible for the average person.

In the case of a small community, it can be left to volunteers (optionally offer them a meal/beer) or simply rotation so everyone does the unwanted jobs. It's a fair system and people will do it.

Haha, I was expecting a story about living off grid, not this. In my home country we actually still have people living off their land and animals, off hand dug wells and cut down trees, using no money. That's rather extreme, though, mo

Oh please, corporate indoctrination is still indoctrination. You can see it in stuff like young people saying "We need to conserve bandwidth, the ISPs can't handle it" (talking about 100GB/mo on mobile, which is apparent

I guess if you patent something and then never use and/or sell it, it will just sit there, protected by law, like a valuable piece of land full of weeds and shrubs in the middle of a city.

Just like many other viral and bacterial infections, then. No surprise here.

What is the point of 4G on something that is designed to limit Internet access?

by bserge 5y ago
I used to think the same, but it only results in you going deeper into your own well as Google keeps pushing more of the same shit instead of getting something new/fresh. It also happens on YouTube.

Everyone could craft their own bombs at home for a century, and have them detonated remotely for decades. Very few actually did it.

What a great project and so incredibly nice of them to open source at least something. There was another airborne wind turbine project that was based on a blimp filled with hydrogen/helium, the name escapes me right now.

Yeah... sadly CPUs in laptops have been soldered for a while now. The same CPUs that have a socket equivalent for desktops. It's a travesty.

LPDDR3 DIMMs exist. I assume everyone is talking about LPDDR4, which seems to use 0.1V less. But the majority of people couldn't give a toss about how much of their laptop ends up in a landfill. They're using paper/glass stra

Amazing, that's ~50 million smartphones that will never be used on a 5G network before reaching a landfill.

All of those are useless. But profitable. As long as they don't solve the core issue, which seems to be in the brain.

Because, like alcoholism, it's a choice. If you force people to lose weight, why not force them to stop poisoning themselves. Of course, it's all a bunch of hypocritical bs when other, safer, more useful drugs are banned or restri

Having tried half a dozen brands, I prefer Scitec Nutrition 100mg caffeine capsules. Pretty much the least bitter powder I tried, and the effects come on slow and steady. I'm really curious what they do differently when extracting caff
