Satellites don't just spontanously burst into 100 pieces.

Russia could really just please stop being a dick

SkaveRat ,

would love to know. because they really don't tend to do that, unless they are in the process of crashing into the thicker athmosphere. And that was not the case, as it's sharing a close enough orbit to the iss

or the guy who put it in an airbrush to cover a part and smooth it

SkaveRat ,

That's why I always recommended a Prusa Mk3 to beginners, if their budget allowed it.

Stuff like auto bedleveling is just too good to not have.

I set up and calibrated my Mk3 in beginning of 2020, and I never had to fiddle with anything on that machine again. It just prints.

What do you think the Great Filter is?

The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi...

As someone with a weird root-phobia, this creeps me out

half-arsing a product, people are hesitant to try it, due to other killed off products, google kills product. repeat

Like, authenticy is good for good things, but it makes shitty things even shittier.

sounds like he needs that PR department

"Did you put the ashes away like I asked you to?"

"Yeah, put them into that urn"

"Dude, that was my wine for tonight. wtf"

that's the biggest catheter bag I've seen so far

Should be noted that paradox was just publishing it, not developing

My mom worked in accounting for the local government. You'd be surprised how many invoices are getting paid without double checking

So they don't throw the ministers into big vats if acid?

he wasn't white, so they didn't assume he was a doctor

I would do it more often, if firefox would fucking finally add it into the browser.

And no, that weird plugin doesn't count. It's buggy as hell

It's literally the only reason I have chrome installed

SkaveRat ,

They already blocked porn sites in a couple states

SkaveRat ,

the problem is, when it's illegal, and you get caught, you'll face the consequences.

Or if you did something else wrong. VPN installed to look at porn? Well, now you did two things wrong, you must be a super special bad person. More prison time for you.

The people behind it don't care in the slightest that you watch porn. They care to have something in hand against you in case you're falling out of line

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations ( x.com )

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

The defamation statement was maybe a bit much, but also warranted. People need to know that just throwing accusations out there that are just plainly not true is actually legally problematic.

I also don't get why people feel this is "threatening people who want to speak up in the future".

If your "speaking up" has merit, it's not defarmation. Plain and simple.

Companies make mistakes (and aparently some were made in this case, and dealt with).

But I find it concerning that people also just blindly trust any and all claims that individuals make about these kind of situations. Believe that they are telling the truth, but also verify that this is actually true. The latter part is important. Blind trust is as damaging as not doing anything at all about a proble, There are people out there who get laid off for legitimate reasons, and try to retaliate for that. Even by claiming BS reasons.

SkaveRat ,

fwiw, they changed their process and output amount a lot after that

SkaveRat ,

personally, I think they handled the situation the best way the could.

Gamers Nexus had genuine good criticism, and they took it, took a moment to pause and implemented fixes.

Mistakes happen. And they learned from them

this is for the transition. no point in porting your software if nobody has the hardware. This will get people to get the hardware, as they can just keep using the existing software, and wait until it's properly ported

Edit: you people really think windows is the only software that needs a translation? Do you only ever use your OS on your computer, and not a single software more?

Money can be exchanged for goods and services!

In a sucker for the low poly aesthetics.

It's sad that literally everything else on this thing is a dumpster fire

SkaveRat ,

quite a clickbaity title. While 18 year olds are technically teenagers, the headline implies something like 14 year olds

SkaveRat ,

It has all the path data

Sorry, only London available

If you want to experience offline maps, you gotta go to London

If you're willing to pay a bit for convenience, there's put.io

Account also easily shareable between friends. They don't care

SkaveRat ,

As someone outside the us: I wish

Amazon had (maybe still has, no idea) the habit of having some movies and shows only available in your local language

SkaveRat ,

I'll send you a pizza once a year, isn't that gratitude enough? Millenials...

SkaveRat ,

sends the QA department

I wouldn't call it an affront.

More of a proof that a god doesn't exist

don't insult replicants like that. They at least try to act human

Should be noted that basically all of that forest is a tree farm monoculture.

Now they moved to protesting the water usage of the factory, which is high, but quite low compared to other industries and farms in the area.

I mean, fuck cars in general, but protests that focus on bullshit facts are not helping the cause.

SkaveRat ,

blasting, huh?

How does that compare to slamming or pounding?
