When I first learned how nuclear reactors actually generate power it was a big WTF moment for me. Wait - do they really just heat water? For some reason I thought that there was a more advanced process to extract electricity from the reacto

Meanwhile it is completely legal for the US alphabet boys to spy on foreigners. They don't need any warrants or anything like that. If you're living in the West then you're in American jurisdiction for all intents and purpose

Well, yeah - if the spinal cord is severed - body parts below the injury can't be moved any more, but they don't start to rot off.

I know how to sideload apps, but still install apps through Play Store. Why would I bother sideloading something if it's on the store already?

What massive barriers are there?

It's so weird that free and open source software is the only option for non-free authoritarian countries like North Korea and Russia.

I still find it crazy that some scammer at one point had net worth comparable to GDP of many countries.

You can do whatever you want with your money - the bank just doesn't want to get involved in money laundering and other criminal stuff.

I guess that depends on source and destination countries, because I am able to wire money between different EU countries without any special paperwork. It is no different to domestic transfers or transfers to the same bank. Why would I want

So you need at least 2 middlemen. One exchange where you buy crypto and another exchange where your friend sells that crypto. Or you could simply use a traditional wire transfer and currency would be converted automatically. USA and Italy e

Some AI tools like AI upscaling are firmly at step 4-5. Pretty much all the latest games are using DLSS or FSR.

Is dall-e down as well? I don't use it through chatgpt.

AW2 was funded by Epic. They are thr publisher in this case.

Epic Store works on Linux too. Tried it with steam deck.

Well in this case many governments are weaker participants than big corporations.

It's scary that someone somewhere at google can decide what to do with larger amounts of money than many governments of sovereign countries. Who exactly decided to pay 19B to apple? What is their decision making process? Do they vote o

It's scary that the amount of money that they pay is bigger than the whole annual budget of my country. You can run a whole country of 2M of people with the money that google pays to apple just for making their search engine the defaul

Google has more money than the government of my country. Someone at google can decide whether to spend like 19B to pay Apple to keep Google the default search engine on iOS. Not a single politician can decide that here. Our government budge

Yeah - this is why critical military infrastructure should not depend on the private sector.

Copyright activists really lost a lot of respect because of those silly music industry lawsuits, the mickey mouse protection act, software patents of trivial stuff and the like. This lawsuit is even sillier than the previous ones.
