My devices just sit on a desk lol. I have two laptops working as servers in another room. But if you wanted to be safer from a potential fire, a metal cabinet is the simplest way to do it. A deflagration from a lithium battery would just he

Yeah, it is certainly possible that it affects health. However, since we decided to live with such technology as a society, we'll have to deal with it. People living in cities (or anywhere really) don't complain much about the

I would certainly hope that an AI would be void of emotions, which I consider to be a relic of our primitive past. Well, it's not really a relic since it's actually the driving force behind our daily lives and society as a whole,

Or instead of storing memories, electric fields are used for fast transfers between parts of the brain. An MRI scan could affect it depending on the frequency? Perhaps a minor, temporary, drop in cognition/memory recall? You would ha

Couldn't it be that the brain has an extremely good redundancy setup? Memories stored in several parts of the brain, and recoverable if a part gets damaged? There are many people who did have permanent memory loss from various TBI (tra

I mean, we need portable energy storage. Could definitely use better filtering for fossil fuel exhaust.

Full metal cabinet preferably away from anything flammable is the simplest solution.

I hate Russia right now, but geofencing is just... bad. I've been geofenced and blocked my whole life, being from a small country no one gives a shit about. If not for the Internet, I'd likely be way more influenced by general med

That's kinda against the spirit of the Internet, well, what it should be IMO. But I do also ban, only temporarily. I found that a lot of IPs just stop reappearing/retrying, likely because they blacklist my IP and move on.

I don't anymore, because I understood I can't affect other people, so I must not care. However it is my opinion that people should learn and know more. Not everything , just more than they already do.

I guess what I'm saying is you can't compare what "China" is doing to most western countries, which have a fraction of the population, so of course there will be fewer reactors, fewer roads, less housing, less production

I said "should" and I meant it. You don't have to, no one has to. People can use locked down hardware and be at the mercy of the manufacturers and support services. There's a lot more money in that than everyone fixing t

I wonder if it could use the "no downgrade" flag (used on the vast majority of laptops) to block you from reflashing it. That would be hilarious.

This should be common knowledge among everyone using a computer. It just makes sense to know how your device operates, and it's not hard to learn. Having been the go to guy for fixing anything remotely computer related, I got sick of i

As someone who doesn't care about the markets, I see sudden/sharp price increases for food, fuel, gas, wood, metals, paint, and a few other things. A real mess.

So I guess everyone's preparing for when he surprisingly loses his mind and decides to invade Taiwan? Can't say we didn't see it coming then.

Oh good point. I thought they pulled out of Russia... if they didn't, they will now.

It proves that Russia doesn't have many allies. Or any allies.

Oh please. I don't use Facebook, but the only hypocrisy I've seen is Russian news on Youtube. Russia24, for example, actually banned my country (and probably others except Russia) lol, they were getting too many comments from Ukra

It's not genocide, but if Russia wins there will undoubtedly be a lot of "cleaning". Their plans include arresting anyone who still resists, and who knows what will actually happen to the arrested. Judging by the Russian pris

I mean, what is the country going to do? At best they can launch a cyber attack (or a lot of them). Any physical action would immediately involve the host country - bombing the Facebook HQ for example could be considered a terrorist act or

As konha said, it's the government offices, providing services for registration, driver's licence, taxes, etc. It works the same way in several EU countries. Sometimes you can just show up (and wait in a queue) but most often you

What's the point? Whether you just give up or try to go on, you die anyway. Might as well not give up :D

How much is a good one? I see quite a few on eBay for 100-200 Euros, from China of course.

I've got something similar for appointments at citizens' bureaus in some European cities. The waiting time is usually around a month, which is insane imo. My script constantly looks for open/canceled spots and reserves them (

You are right, and apparently people don't like the uncomfortable truth. Russia could bomb the shit out of Ukraine. But they are avoiding civilian casualties. Yes, I know they're still killing people, but it's not a main goal

That's interesting, because I clearly remember it being "the end of modern processors as we know it". But yeah, media is garbage and people will overhype anything.

Eh, all the time = maybe once a year. Still no Spectre/Meltdown exploits in the wild. Most Windows XP users don't even know about Reddit and shit.

On the one hand, more than half of Russians support or are indifferent to the war. On the other hand, a government change is the only thing that Ukraine, and the world needs. All the warmongering idiots will pretty much fall in line, just l
