7·4 days agoWe can react the hydrogen with CO2 in the atmosphere to produce hydrocarbons and water. The water goes back into the electrolysis system, and the hydrocarbons can be put back underground where they belong. As a bonus it gets rid of some extra CO2!

rotating to A on dust
I have no idea what this means, anyone care to explain?
13·18 days agoit’s a lesson that if there ever was a big one, we wouldn’t even know or be able to do anything
This isn’t really correct; near-Earth asteroids big enough to cause global catastrophe are much brighter than smaller asteroids like the one talked about in the article, so they’re much easier to detect. We’ve already mapped the vast majority (over 90%) of >1km asteroids and most of the ones in the >140m range. If any of these were found to have a high probability of hitting Earth, we could send a redirection mission years ahead of time.
There are also (ground-based) systems like ATLAS which are monitoring the sky 24/7 and would likely provide a few days to weeks of advance warning for small to medium asteroids. That’s too late to redirect the asteroid, but enough time to evacuate an area if necessary.
0·23 days agoIt did, but it was intended for players on the same local network. This new functionality works even if players are on separate networks.
18·26 days agoif that facility used only evaporative cooling, the water requirement would be 144,927 L/hour. That is an Olympic-size swimming pool every 6.9 seconds. Not nice!
You mean 6.9 hours? You’re definitely off by a few orders of magnitude there.
You can visit your bank in person, send a check to pay for your apartment, call your doctor to schedule an appointment, etc. Not everything has to be done online.
A website that pulls this crap is a website I will simply not use.
If you actually want to do this, look at the NUBM44-V2 laser diode. 7 watts of output power and around $30 on eBay. Another $50 or so for a driver, heat sink, and lens and you can burn out cameras in seconds (you can also burn out your eyes so a good set of laser googles is essential).
13·28 days agoYeah, the rotation was a bit of a surprise to me. Doesn’t seem like Waterfox has a setting to disable that, so I just disabled my browser’s access to the accelerometer and gyros entirely.
15·28 days agoIt’s a big problem for multi-user servers where some users aren’t supposed to have root access. For example, my university has several student-accessible servers, and they all seem to be currently vulnerable to the exploit. A malicious student could cause quite a lot of damage.
6·1 month agoLooks like image upscaling to me, lots of phones do it by default these days.
Just because the AI slop has a message I agree with, doesn’t make it any less slop.
0·1 month agoI’m very skeptical of this. High energy radiation on photographic film generally causes a speckle pattern, where each individual particle that hits the film exposes a small spot. The distribution of speckles should also be relatively uniform across the image. This looks more like a small amount of light made it through the packaging and caused patterns as the film spun around.
So that’s why my backup script, which has worked perfectly for months, failed completely the last time I tried to run it. Guess I’ll be downgrading to the last non-slop version.
