Finland to place Nato base near Russian border
  • And we have known for the last 100 years who will be the one to fuck around - we have prepared for exactly that.

    Just a small tidbit: every single bridge in Finland has been specifically rigged for easy placement of explosives to blow it up. And we practice doing it during our mandatory military service.

  • Your electric car will fall apart before its battery pack does, study finds
  • A battery also needs a ton of energy to become cold. It’s like 300-500kg of mass you need to freeze. Most cars automatically warm up the battery.

    I’ve had an EV in Finland for 4 years now and it’s the best winter car I’ve had. -30 C outside and it’s literally T-Shirt weather inside the car within 10 minutes. Zero issues starting after it’s been sitting outside for a few days either.

  • What would make you happy?
  • The exact amount of money I have in debts at the moment.

    If I was 100% debt free I could work 3-4 days a week with the same amount of money left as with debts.

    This would reduce stress and give me more time and energy to improve myself

  • European politicians say migration is out of control. The numbers tell a different story
  • The smugglers don’t give a fuck, they got paid.

    In the Mediterranean they use any shitty dinghy that just about floats and drive paying people to international waters, then the smuggler bails out in a proper boat and leaves the people adrift to be rescued by NGOs or coast guard.

  • After charger, Apple removes USB-C cable from the box
  • Multiple people were really angry when VGA ports disappeared, the amount of shitty corporate projectors with only VGA connectors was staggering and we had to resort to using adapters (“dongles”) for a long time until all of them were replaced with HDMI capable ones

  • US Postal Service electric trucks are finally here and drivers love them
  • American truckers especially love their FREEDOM to a stupid degree. I do get the lifestyle of being a road cowboy never knowing where your next haul is going to.

    But they’re also a dying breed, new drivers want to get home now and then and not live in a truck for months without seeing their family.

    There was a good documentary about this a while ago, can’t remember where.

  • POSSE Method: Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere
    indieweb.org POSSE

    POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, the practice of posting content on your own site first, then publishing copies or sharing links to third parties (like social media silos) with original post links to provide viewers a path to directly interacting with you...

    I’ve been doing POSSE for a while now and it had helped me immensely by saving time and stress.

    Basically every time I post something on a 3rd party site I store the content locally. Currently only in Obsidian and some locally cached videos and articles (TubeArchivist and Raindrop)

    When I get dragged to the same argument or topic again, I can just grab my old comment, maybe edit/update it a bit and post it.

    For some stuff I have longer blog posts I can link to, for some they are images and graphs.

    Keychron mechanical keyboards unofficial support @lemmy.ca lepinkainen @lemmy.world
    Q3 firmware update broke Karabiner Elements

    Keyboard: Keychron Q3 ISO KNOB

    I had a working system with Karabiner Elements, I had mapped caps lock to be a hyper-key on macOS. Everything worked perfectly.

    Then I was stupid and updated to the latest firmware on the keyboard to 1.0.5 because it's the new shiny.

    Now I can't override the capslock key with Karabiner any more.

    I can see it's being pressed in the event viewer, but I can't capture the event. How on earth is the firmware bypassing Karabiner and how can I make it stop short of remapping capslock to a key that CAN be overwritten in firmware?

    Pretty much every other key can be overwritten at least from the dozen or so I tested already, it's just CAPS LOCK being special.
