Hildegarde , to memes in I mean....come on, man!

We've had flying cars for about 60 years. They're called helicopters.

Hildegarde , to memes in Wait what

If they made you forget, why would they admit to it on a sign? Does that make any sense whatsoever?

Hildegarde , to Today I Learned in TIL Haydn's "Surprise Symphony" was NOT written to wake up sleeping audience members; that was just a myth

But symphony 45 really was written to resolve a labor dispute. That is true.

Hildegarde , to memes in The end of an era?

Imagine designing a bicycle without triangles. Every joint needs to be overbuilt, because there's no structure from the geometry. But you make sure it still has a top tube, so its just as hard to mount and dismount as a normal bike. Incredible!

Hildegarde , to Technology in BYD achieves 1,300-mile driving range with latest PHEVs

Its a 15 gallon tank, and testing methodology that doesn't reflect reality.

The 2024 prius would get 750 miles according to the EPA's estimates if it had the same sized tank.

Hildegarde , to World News in UN suspends Rafah aid distribution and warns US pier may fail

Because the US is not allowed to put boots on the ground in Palestine, they are relying on isreal to build the part of the aid pier that connects it to the land. This plan relies on having the people who are blocking the aid, build the pier that bypasses their attempts to block the aid.

It's not surprising that no aid trucks are able to enter despite the pier.

Hildegarde , to Technology in Free-Market Advocate, Elon Musk, Asks for U.S. Government to Put Tariffs on Chinese EV Imports

So they're just like Uber. Why didn't they put a 100% tax on them?

Hildegarde , to Technology in People want 'dumbphones'. Will companies make them?

I used a nokia dumbphone and it was awful. Not awful due do a lack of features, but awful due to how poorly those features are implemented. Kaios is teal garbage.

But the form factor was lovely, and physical buttons are so much more precise and comfortable to use than a touch screen.

The phone that I really want is a small smartphone with physical buttons for typing and navigation. As far as I am aware that is something that is not made these days.

Hildegarde , to Technology in iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes

If you delete normally, only the index of the files are removed, so the data can be recovered by a recovery program reading the "empty" space on the disk and looking for readable data.

If you do a single pass erase, the bits will overwritten one time. About half the bits will be unchanged, but that makes little difference. Any recovery software trying to read it will read the newly written bits instead of the old ones and will not be able to recover anything.

However, forensic investigation can probably recover data after a single pass erase. The shred command defaults to 3 passes, but you can do many more if you need to be even more sure.

Unless you have data that someone would spend large sums on forensics to recover, 1 to 3 passes is probably enough.

Hildegarde , to Technology in iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes

You can delete files by overwriting the data. On Linux its shred -zu [file]. Its slow but good to do if you are deleting sensitive data.

Its good its not the standard delete function.

Hildegarde , to Games in Stellaris gets a DLC about AI that features AI-created voices, director insists it's 'ethical' and 'we're pretty good at exploring dystopian sci-fi and don't want to end up there ourselves'

Have any of the involved voice actors confirmed the claims made in the article? I've seen multiple articles on this game, and the only quotes are from the game's director.

So far I've only seen one side claim this is ethical. That's not enough.

Hildegarde , to World News in Name and shame: Pro-Israel website ramps up attacks on pro-Palestinian student protesters

The country exists because of us support. All of their neighbors hate them. Cutting off all military aid would be crippling, not something that could be ignored.

The us has a ton of leverage without a coup or invasion. Better to start with that.

Hildegarde , to World News in Name and shame: Pro-Israel website ramps up attacks on pro-Palestinian student protesters

That is not a reasonable first step.

Biden has paused and threatened to stop weapons shipments, but those only ever included offensive weapons.

They have a defensive anti-rocket system that requires regular shipments from the US. Biden never threatened to cut those supplies off, nor has he threatened to cut off any of the other aid they receive.

Stopping all weapons shipments would change their behavior. Better thing to try instead.

Hildegarde , to Technology in Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs

All auto manufacturers put spyware in their cars now. This isn't a china problem, this is an everyone problem. We need anti-spyware laws that apply to everyone.

Hildegarde , to Games in Xbox president: Studio closures will ensure 'business is healthy for the long term'

They could sell the studio without the IPs, bring in some revenue, but it's worth more to kill the studio than let it exist to compete.
