hackaday.com mostly.

Everything else is “big tech adds [anti-feature], shoves AI more places no one asked for”.

Usually, yeah. People will hide them for kids to find or they’ll sit out as decorations for a few days. By the time they’re done being “Easter eggs” they’re all kinds of nasty / spoiled. (American eggs require refrigeration)

There’s a lot to unpack here:

1. This is going to be one of things future generations look back on like we look back at the Great Depression (I’m trying not to think about Great Depression 2)
2. The whole trend (potato or egg) is just a waste of food. Always has been.
3. Why can’t people just use the reusable plastic eggs? Bonus is you can put candy inside.

Edit: Okay, thank you. Apparently we just did “Easter Eggs” wrong growing up.

I misread the headline as “Punitive or a grift?” and was like “yes”.

I’d like to think that. But also, we’re the country where the 1/3 pound burger failed because people thought it was less portion than a 1/4 pound burger.

Yeah, A/C is a power sink; I’m not arguing that. But people are increasingly in need of it for survival. No one needs AI (the biggest datacenter power suck to date).

His approach blended populist messaging with economic nationalism, drawing both cheers from supporters stupid people and warnings from economists and global leaders everyone else.

Fixed that for them.

There’s a few services (Fediseer and the Lemmy Canvas event) that auth via Lemmy. It’s awkward, but it works.

Basically you enter your username@instnace.xyz there, and it sends a DM to your account with a code (similar to an MFA token). You then complete the login on the app with that code.

Will the real suckers and losers, please stand up?

Or at least would the real suckers and losers please shut up? They’re always the loudest and dumbest in any space, and it’s as if they stopped talking for even a second, they might actually have a critical thought (and that terrifies them).

Yep. It’s for an outdoor weather node on a metal pole, so damage would be fairly minimal if it had a bad day. It’s also only charging at like 200 mAh (max) since it’s got only a small 1W solar panel hooked to the charge controller. The only other concern would be summertime temperature, but I worry about that regardless of the cell.

Yeah, and my newer powerbanks all do PowerDelivery for 5, 9, 12, and 20 V.

I’m assuming watt-hours would be universal for them all (watts are watts, as the saying goes).

I may be re-thinking my morals for things like that here soon. My legitimate career relies heavily on federal grant money, and my skills aren’t rare enough to hope France will adopt me. Maybe I’ll start a meme coin or something lol.

That’s true, but this one came from a known (local) vendor. I took it back, and they were happy to refund it. Since they were gonna toss it, I asked if I could keep it (it works well enough to power an ESP32).

I’ve thought about selling out my morals, but realized I could never live with myself.

I guess they could still lie about watt-hours, but buying anything based off of the reported mAh capacity is a crapshoot.

Ended up with a clearly fake 18650 in my collection. Weighs way less than an older 2200 mAh one but it’s label says 9900 mAh. Again, it’s an 18650.

The culprit:

Not discounting that (it’s a cool project), but NOAA/NWS are the ones that issue the EAS severe weather alerts (when your phone/TV/radio goes all REEET REEEEET REEEET letting you know shit’s getting real). Some severe weather you can plan for based on forecast (snow storms, some thunderstorms), others you need constant eyes on and as much warning as possible (tornadoes).

And tornado season is coming up, so…yeah, buckle up, Midwest.

Edit: Also, I feel your username lol.

Yes they do.

Edit: As others have said, Puerto Rico is a US territory rather than a state, and they don’t have representation in Congress, but in all other aspects (and as far as “papers, please” goes), they are 100% US citizens.

Only if you’re rich and/or a racist with power.
