  • The graphics are trash because I have the "Poor Eyesight" negative trait, which requires glasses to see well. I also got the "Hyperfocus" trait which is a mixed bag. Too bad the skill point for poor eyesight didnt get used so now my character's got the depressed moodle and I cant get him to read a comic book or eat food

  • iPhone USB-C is hackable, but users don't need to worry yet
  • no hacking incidents targeting the device's USB-C controller have been reported yet

    extracting the firmware alone won't directly enable cyberattacks

    So there is no hacking...

    And the ACE usb ICs are codesigned by apple and TI and manufactured by TI, so yes it is THEIR implementation,

    and I was referring to it implying its because its USB C and not because of their shoddy implementation.

    Good job being condescending. I'm sure you are great fun to be around.

  • iPhone USB-C is hackable, but users don't need to worry yet
  • Fear mongering that also misattributes the issue to USB-C rather than Apple's half assed implementation

  • Buyers of Razer’s bogus “N95” Zephyr masks get over $1 million in refunds
  • This number is prior to the lawyers taking their cut. If they end up taking a 40% cut that's still $95 a person, so hopefully everyone gets at least a good chunk of their money back

    The American Chestnut was nearly wiped out in the US due to chestnut blight introduced by imported Japanese chestnut trees. Researchers have pursued two main avenues for repopulating the American Chestnut: direct genetic modification / engineering (above link) and cross breeding with Chinese Chestnuts (blight resistant) then re-breeding the result back with American chestnuts. This is to hopefully keep it as close to American chestnuts while also gaining blight resistance.

    I've never had chestnuts, even though it used to be one of Eastern Americas most populous trees. I was hoping I could get some and plant them around here and there but we aren't to the point that they're commercially available yet (though available by request)

  • Regardless of how we feel about TikTok (I dont like it either for the same reasons)

    The ban isn't about privacy violations by the owning corporation or because of challenges or mental health, but rather that the US government (directly or by proxy through the owning corporation) isnt the one in control of the information collected or the algorithms.

    Due to its younger user base and lack of US based corporate interests, things that US corporations would normally block, remove or downplay with their algorithms are allowed. This means the culture and information that would normally dissapear from US media and social media instead on tiktok tends to be much more liberal and available. On the other hand, information critical of china or contrary to their culture may be less visible, and your information is getting tracked by china instead of the us.

    This difference was exemplified in the wake of the United Healthcare CEOs assasination. Traditional US media was extremely critical of the shooter, and dropped any presumption of Luigi's innocence or deniability prior to the conclusion of his court case. Comments and posts were removed for displaying anything other than giving him the death penalty (hyperbole, but). They denied that there was a problem and downplayed peoples concerns with the US healthcare system and billionaires.

    TikTok on the other hand (and smaller social media sites like on the fediverse) showed immense support for Luigi, and expressed their disdain for the US healthcare system and the ruling class.

    Same for the war in ukraine, especially for the genocide in gaza perpetrated by Israel on the Palestinians.

    The government and ruling class is upset that they dont have the personal and tracking information of TikTok users, that they cant control the algorithm, and cant ask the company to stop showing things that make them look bad or could potentially be used to create a movement against them. Its those very trends that travel quickly through tiktok that have the potential to be dangerous to them.

  • [R] Dog is very unsure of cat grooming
  • Animal behaviors can be very context and individual dependent. What I mentioned was very general and the submission aspect usually comes from face licking. Cats can be adverse to face licking sometimes due to the same reason (pecking order essentially) hence that video of the guy trying to lick his cat back after getting his face licked and the cat screaming and running away

  • [R] Dog is very unsure of cat grooming
  • Dog is confused because licking is often a sign of submission and he's freaked out by that. Dogs will do that if you try to lick them too. Licking their lips is a sign of nervousness probably bc he doesnt know why the cat is licking him.

  • Resistor/Capacitor broke off, anyone knows if it matters?
  • Those parts are not paralleled. They could be switches so that each rear / front I/O jack can be used as a microphone or speaker, so if youre lucky it could just be the one that lets you configure a speaker output as a microphone input
