Supercomputer that simulates entire human brain will switch on in 2024
  • That was… a very interesting thought experiment you just sent me on. I’d never considered this, but it immediately sounds plausible upon hearing it. Thanks for mentioning this “off topic” idea :D

  • save this rule
  • Link? And where can I upload a PDF* of the site to share with you? tmpfiles.org’s short duration probably won’t cut it…

    *Although I’m certain The Saver™️ would only do full webarchive zips, for us casuals, the PDF export shall do (and be easier in day to day use)

  • today’s hobby pieces
  • Ah. That is a very neat design then. I thought it was just for the picks, but at that size, it makes way more sense to hold both!

    And thanks for the explainer/vocab primer :D

  • today’s hobby pieces
  • Thanks!

    There’s one part you imitate the keys’ teeth with, those are the picks with different patterns visible in the photo.

    But then there’s the part with which you imitate the turning movement of a genuine key, and it has to be robust, as it needs to be able to turn the lock while still allowing space for the teeth-aligning-tool from above, so there’s higher forces on smaller surfaces. That’s why I said sturdy :D

    And it kinda looks like the longer part in your pic’s pick (sorry :P) in the back, but I’m not sure.

  • Brave browser quietly slips a VPN service onto your Windows PC
  • I have Orion (macOS only for the time being) and it’s sooo good.

    The amazing part is that it even works as a daily driver if you’re a not-so-techie person/normal user… but then on top there are all these little extra features and optimizations that make it like Safari if Safari was actually good.

    I would at this point a) not be able to go back to either Safari or Firefox (edit: nor Ungoogled Chromium) as well as b) immediately trust an Orion user on most of what they have to say about a “tech” related opinion :D

  • Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report
  • I’ve tried using wireless charging in a friend’s car on my iPhone SE a few weeks back.

    Result: notification that charging had (!) to be stopped at around 50% due to overheating and was poised to continue once the iPhone had cooled down sufficiently. It never continued as that was all I needed to know about the current state of wireless charging with light usage on the side.

    Good point on the wireless listening and ear pieces needing a battery as well, though. I guess with those it comes down to convenience for most buyers.

  • Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report
  • The difference with wireless listening vs. charging is that the former doesn’t need close to 2x the power of the cable-bound method and doesn’t destroy the phone’s battery in the process, unlike the latter

  • Is this even legal?
  • Even worse, my default browser was changed to Bing after an update.

    Is this not literally quite almost what their first big antitrust case was all about (shipping their OS together with Internet Explorer, back then) that almost got them broken up by the state?
