Pressure Builds to Ban ‘Blatantly False’ Ads | The Tyee
  • I may be completely out of the loop here so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't China making a monumental shift towards solar and renewables right now as well? Why would they need LNG when they have record amounts of renewables being implemented and an established Coal system.

  • Tesla is reportedly in talks to use Michelin's airless tires
  • As someone who has to deal with rims and tires all day, I freaking hope this never happens. I would rather be stabbed in the leg with a rusty knife than deal with tires packed with sealant.

    I cannot even begin to count the number of times I've needed to used the emergency eyewash station because of tire sealant, even with eye protection, the stuff gets everywhere, and customers always seem to "forget" that they used an entire can of sealant to fix their tire leak so we get to be covered in the stuff for hours and scrub the machines down, the walls, the floors everything. Ask any Tire tech what they think of fix-a-flat or tire sealant and you'll likely get a similar response.

  • [Help] Newbie, Flashing Firmware for Lily58 Pro

    Hey there everyone, I'm currently building a Lily58Pro, So far things have been going great, I'm at the point now where I need to flash the firmware, This is totally new territory for me and I'm hoping the community here can shed some light on a few concerns of mine.

    The kit I ordered came with 2x 0xCB Helios controllers, Which appear to be RP2040 based. The official build guild is using ATmega32U4's.

    The firmware page from the site I got my kit from just links to a single .uf2 file, I'm probably overthinking this whole thing but shouldn't there be a left and a right side? Or do I just put the controllers into bootloader mode and throw the uf2 file on each one like a regular Raspberry Pi? Or do I need to flash these with QMK? Just a little confused, and probably vastly overthinking this.

    Your first distribution
  • I had messed around with various distros in the mid 2000's but never more than a day. Just as a "this seems neat" kinda thing. Recently I wised up, tried Zorin OS was on that for a year, then went back to windows for a while. now I'm running EndeavorOS and there isn't even a windows partition on this machine, I will not be going back. Still debating setting up QEMU for the only windows only program I miss though.

  • This week in KDE: Plasma bug fixes and UI improvements
  • Wayland is still unusable for me. Was happily running Wayland in 5.27 But have encountered nothing but issues in 6.0, main one being performing any sort of action with animations, scrolling, opening notifications etc causes the desktop frame rate to pummet, sometimes even hitting zero. All AMD build as well. I'll keep checking back to see if it's fixed but I'm too new to Linux to do any real sleuthing. X11 has been working fine in the meantime.

  • Woody Woodpecker, Vancouver Island
  • Awesome shot! We have a couple of these Pileated Woodpeckers in my neck of B.C. as well. They're quite timid though, only seem to be able to catch them leaving our yard.

    This makes me even more excited to properly test my latest lens acquisition come spring, a 300mm F4.5 in beautiful shape :)

  • What to use for stripping old minis?

    My coworker gifted me a big box of old chaos space Marines. Most of them have been converted to noise marines, but they are a mix of metal and plastic, and all on 25mm bases.

    Separating them from the bases is easy but what's the general consensus on stripping minis that are combinations of plastic, plastic and metal and all metal?

    I do have access to a ultrasonic cleaner, if that helps, Just curious on what products are safe for the models.

    Luna always looks a bit miffed.

    She always looks a bit angry, Isn't great with others but patiently waits for me to come home from work every day. Usually curled up on my bed like this.
