I am no Android developer, but can’t the push notification payload be encrypted?

A better question is if Signal does this already.

Please God, give me an AI agent that can watch the video and do quiz for the yearly mandatory HR training

TPLink needed to get their shit in order for years. This has been cooking since 2019. However, this administration is just turned it into a bribery scheme.

I wonder how they intend to add DRM to a stepper motor.

But its not abnormal. Last election, it was basically half the country.

Also it is dynamic. Right now their worldview is completely in flux because they shape their opinions around whatever Trump is doing that week. But its getting legitimately hard for them keep up and Trump is loosing support online and in polls (55 to 23-33%) because of that.

The value is learning about how they view the world.

If I understand them, I understand the world better not because they have a deeper understanding, but because they have reality denying viewpoints that 23-45% of my fellow countrymen share.

On Reddit, I sometimes pop over to the r/conservative subreddit to see their take on issues. Mostly to get a temperature read on how they are feeling about news events. No equivalent to that on Lemmy.

I miss the old days when cars were made with 500-600 CV joints. Much more manageable.

Yet they lobby to ban Kei trucks. They struggle to compete with 25 y/o Japanese single cab work trucks with import fees.

Tbh I’m surprised they found this bug.

Microsoft apparently doesn’t do QA testing anymore and* the average Copilot user is a tech illiterate troglodyte who never changed the WiFi password on their modem and doesn’t know what a bug report is.

*Oh shit. That is a feature? Intented use??

Hey its me, the real dessalines.

Can I have some money.

I’m going to start haggling with the cashiers.

Its got electrolytes! It’s what plants crave!

The photo choice is a big one that always bothers me with these articles.

multiply this (Current x Time)/(Weight) value by the nominal voltage of the cell to get to (Power x Time)/(Weight).

This is the part that annoys me. The nominal voltage could vary between different batteries. 200Ah/g means different capacity for a 6v battery verses a 48v battery. I’m guessing battery scientists are using standardized nominal voltages for these tests or are seeing the same Ah/g capacity at different voltages (that I may have simply missed in the paper because I skimmed it and I don’t claim any deeper knowledge on battery research)

the strategy of retaining crystal interlayer water yielded a specific capacity of 280 mA h g−1 at 10 mA g−1, one of the highest capacities reported for SIB cathodes in literature.

All I could find. This isn’t a statement about capacity(?) Units are wrong(?)

Its worth noting how preliminary this research is. Currently these “batteries” are just jars with chemicals.

They mostly these articles are showing new avenues for research. Most are deadends usually due to issues with production/scalability.

Sodium Ions batteries are coming to market, however the issue is that Lithium Ion are just improving faster and making it harder for Sodium Ion batteries to compete.

I think a lot of that stems from most peoples’ lack of innate curiosity about the world. I used to think most people wanted to know how things work so they have a stronger understanding of the world. Now? No so much.

“Fuck me Sam, I don’t have anymore ideas on how to turn a profit. We’ve tried everything. How about we just give the AI its own infrastructure and bank account with the instructions ‘make money’ and see what it does? I know that safety guy advised against it before, but he no long works here. I mean if it becomes a singularity event, at least it’s our singularity event to control”
