Yet again proving Chads are the pinnacle of evolution

I stick data I will almost certainly never access again on glacier deep archive. Dirt cheap. Good place to escrow data.

Honestly it’s a great publicity stunt. Not like people would give a fuck about toys r us otherwise.

Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices ( www.theverge.com )

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

There’s a few things that are iOS device specific (like FaceTime) so I can see legit reasons to keep the different colors, if that’s what everyone is used to. Not that video calling should be a random proprietary tech, but that’s another battle…

A point the video makes is that derivative works (ROM hacks, translations, etc) are made much more difficult to access as well by Nintendo killing the sites entirely. Those hacks are works in progress with many new hacks released even in the present day.

Prolly their confusion is that Macron called for new elections, but unlike some parliamentary governments Macron isn’t selected by parliament.

How dense would the atmosphere need to be to result in a cataclysmic chain reaction during a nuclear explosion?

Famously, Oppenheimer and co worked out how close a nuclear bomb test would be to causing a chain reaction of nitrogen fusion in the atmosphere. They made a lot of worst-case-scenario assumptions and still came to the conclusion that no, a nuclear bomb test wouldn’t scour the surface of the world....

Prolly the most relevant paragraph from the linked article for this discussion:

Today, especially after the detonation of the 50 MT Tsar hydrogen bomb on Novaya Zemlya in 1961, it is also experimentally verified that the danger of atmospheric or even oceanic ignition does not exist. Also, the experimental measurements obtained by Zucker and others demonstrate that the fusion probability is much smaller than the geometric cross-section for 14N+14N assumed by Teller and coworkers, further reducing the chances for such an event. Furthermore, the atmosphere is also heated only to temperatures of a few million degrees, so that the most efficient energies of the fusing nuclei are a few 100 keV and thus well below the Coulomb barrier and very much reduced by penetrability. These temperatures are noticeably lower than those in the late hydrostatic burning stages of massive stars.

Basically the temperature of the atmosphere is over an order of magnitude too low to have any chance of ignition (need 10s of millions of K), and the reaction rate is thus several orders of magnitude lower than the threshold.

80% survivability…for the black box

Would be hilarious if it actually does and everyone starts doing it…

God bless archive.org. Fuck the turds trying to bring it down.

I would dope the water up so that they were sterile and would breed themselves out in the future, and that would solve the problem.

Can’t even give shit away on Facebook’s buy nothing groups cause people fucking ghost you after saying they’ll take it

Mark my words: I think it’s making a bit of a comeback given Google’s enshittification. They’ve also been acquiring ISP email services and showing other signs of growth. I wouldn’t be surprised if it re-appears as an IPO in the next few years.

Don’t implement a user’s stupid idea, they fork the repo and somehow the fork gets more stars…

Is this…an actually funny Penny Arcade comic? It’s been so bad for so long

This feels most like Breaking Bad where Walt’s actions cascade to two planes crashing over his house and the debris landing in his pool. Which I think we can all agree is generally not a poorly written show.

The name of this product is terrible, sounds like some disease
