Reminder that because the Windows 11 taskbar is slower and buggier than the Windows 10 taskbar, it uses much more power due to the extra CPU cycles.
I wish I could semi-whitelist (graylist?) many websites, like allowing only "acceptable ads" so that the website can pay for costs and make a small profit while not blowing up my screen with ads. At the same time, many websites (Reddit, most recipe sites, and any text site with an autoplaying video) absolutely deserves a full ad blacklist for disrespecting their users so much. Still other websites deserve a full whitelist.
Could I get a link to see the mini-documentary?
Yeah that part was unfortunate. But I still thought it was so cool and funny seeing someone travel the country with tiny, fun electric vehicles.
I rode 1000 Miles from Boulder to Austin texas in an attempt to stress-test small, personal electric vehicles and settle a years-old burrito debate.
This might be a bit different than what usually gets posted here but I found this on Nebula and its perhaps my favorite video I've seen on the platform yet. You can also watch it on YouTube (strangely YT didn't suggest it to me despite it being right up my alley).
I absolutely love this idea of trying to do long distance riding with little e-bikes and e-scooters, or basically anything on 2 (or just 1???) wheels.
What about the fast e-scooters? Might be time to buy an e-scooter now...
I'd still trust my local LLM more with sharing explicit sexual desires than some cloud service
I'm fine with some basic telemetry about how fast the browser runs, but tracking my searches is creepy.
Couldn't she just copy the text to a text file or .odt file and perhaps email it (or better yet, physically copy it with a USB drive) if she can't direct share it?
This is one of the areas I see this whole "AI" thing being super useful. It could probably transcribe the video, separate the text into coherent sections and paragraphs, and take stills from the video as pictures. If the AI is smart enough, it could selectively pick out the right stills.
It also really depends on what "home" is. My current home is a tiny room in a cheap apartment (to save money) with a tiny kitchen, a small living room, and a joke of a dining area. I feel inclined to go to the office despite a 45 minute commute because there isn't anywhere good to spread out and focus on work at home. Plus in-person connections with colleagues is another benefit. I'm currently hybrid with WFH 1 day out of 5.
Hard disagree. I dual boot both Windows 11 and Ubuntu on my main laptop and Ubuntu is usually way faster feeling, except sometimes on shutdown due to some snap or cups bug. Almost everything opens in a second or less, and I get better battery life on Ubuntu as well. My bigger problem is that it struggles with WiFi under crowded conditions.
I love the effort of making the electric motorcycles, but $10k is a ridiculous price on this Grom-like bike. You can get a Yamaha MT-09, a ridiculously fast and fun ICE bike, for that price. This scooter should be about half that.
I'll try to do that. Thanks for the tip!
I can't wait to see this technology in motorcycles and micro mobility vehicles. It will be a mushroom in Mario Kart IRL. And imagine this tech on drag bikes/cars
I use FitoTrack (FOSS, on F-droid) but I also get poor battery life. My best solution unfortunately is to just carry a power bank with me.
I've finally began to play Palworld, which was on my bucket list for a while. I'm still a noob that's level 8, and I don't know how to make my pals in my base do specific tasks (planting instead of grazing)

Three things:
- Governments need to regulate exclusive third party content so that the platforms compete on quality instead of just amount of content.
- Companies should go back to pay as you use. I hate subscribing to things.
- Users should push back hard on new bad things that the corporations do.
One long meandering 6 lane road that makes up the entire city. I'm not even kidding, that's pretty much the optimal solution in the game.
I think of myself as technically inclined. I have installed Linux multiple times and have basic command line knowledge, and I've programmed in many languages, with the most experience making a static website game using HTML/CSS/JS.
Additionally, I own the superspruce.org domain (my registrar is Dynadot), but I don't really know how to wield the power of owning a domain. I also have some spare computers to be used for hosting, a 2009 laptop running Lubuntu and a 3900X+32GB RAM desktop other running KDE Neon, but I'm also open to experimenting with cloud hosting too (I know, sacrilege here).
However, I don't know much about the TCP/IP protocol or other networking protocols. I'm happy to learn, but the curve would need to start gently.
I would want to try hosting my websites, and also a personal non-federated Lemmy instance to serve as a archivable forum for my games. Even if it's not very useful, it's great experience.
Electric motorcycle manufacturers Verge and Horwin show off new tech during the annual electronics show.
Not sure if this is the right community for this, but I see plenty of electric motorcycle stuff here, so I'll bite. Message me if this is the wrong place for this content.
Anyways, really? AI? On a motorcycle? Isn't the entire point of motorcycles feeling the freedom of manipulating your machine to do what you ask of it? Without any AI and data selling nonsense? Please don't let this be the direction of motorcycling.
AI is powerful has a place in many areas. Just keep it out of motorcycles, a hobby defined by skill, freedom, and most importantly, fun.
Give us electric motorcycles whose tech adds to the experience, not tries to turn it into a IoT data harvesting device, please.
If you could have any three production motorcycles, with any budget, what would you pick?
I'll go first:
- Yamaha R1 (Sport riding and trackdays, also crossplane sound)
- Triumph Tiger 900 GT (touring and adventure riding with an actually manageable seat height)
- Honda Grom (for just hooning around for when I want a small light bike)
I'm not sure if this is the best community to post in, but I just bought a used computer and slotted in an RX480 as the GPU. I installed KDE Neon 5.27 on it, and it worked flawlessly for 2 days.
Then, even though it was working earlier today, it slept and then would not wake up. So I turned off the power and turned it back on again, and was greeted with this error screen:
The only prior error message I'd gotten from the system was when I tried to install wine for one application, it told me some packages weren't up to date, without a way to fix it. I can enter the BIOS just fine.
What is going on? How do I fix this?
