Flight 4 Booster Recovery
  • Releasing a single image after legal cleared it, is completely different from not doing enough for anyone with a camera renting a helicopter to take snapshots of whatever is left.

    from memory I think it's for example combustion chamber / injector design which is the crux here, none of that is visible, but could be from different angles.

  • [news] Paging The Hague: Israel’s Exploding Electronics Might Be War Crimes
  • I wonder what the effective radius of these things was (and what it wad expected to be)
    low amount of explosives + low density shrapnel may have made this basically a touch-distance weapon.

  • What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma?
  • We can reliably screen for HIV (all blood donations are) why the fuck are homosexuals discriminated against over this.

    except that the tests are (per cdc) up to 90 days late in detection. So you may get infected and spend 3 months testing negative.

    And judging by OPs being german, where the rule (admittedly only since 2021) is "you may only have fucked one guy for the last 4 months", this seems like being on the safe side, but not completely excessive to me.

  • What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma?
  • I've donated plenty of times, because it makes sense that there is no other way to save lives than to donate.

    On the other hand, I've been wondering for years, that while I've been told a million times that "blood reserves are low - donate blood now!", I've not ever heard that a single person died due to lack of available blood.
    Why would something like that not be reported if you want to motivate people to donate?

    My personal guess is that this comes because "lack of avaiable blood donations" isn't a valid cause of death, the cause of death is whatever else (gun shot wound, knife severed artery / complication during surgery etc), thus it's hard to pinpoint. Also Doctors may try to "save" blood, when they know little is available, and people may die that may have lived if they had gotten (more) blood, but also they may not have and it is hard to tell.

  • There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.
  • Unless they change CPU architectures.

    well. there's already winlator (basically box86 / wine-wrapper for android).
    Not as polished and far as Proton is, but the bones are there.

    A CPU architecture change wouldn't be a deathblow.

  • There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.
  • Also the price scales wayyyy better. Steam Deck starts at 313,65€ now.

    if you have less money, buy that, get an sd card, and if you enjoy it put an ssd in later.

  • This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • True, but also 1. Obergeschoss, 2. Obergeschoss etc.

    In German there was the "ground-floor, the upper-floor and the roof-floor", which then got separated into "ground floor, upper floor 1, upper floor 2... "

  • Google Finally Launches Android 15
  • I still wait for the day where smartphones become the only computer for most people.
    dock it, (maybe cool it) and the available power is significant.

    google is definitely taking steps there with their virtualization work and desktop mode, just slow.
    Apple may be too, with their switch to ARM on desktop.

  • Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Desktop Mode! Hands On Testing
  • fuck yeah, definitely the right direction.

    still a ways to go, but hey, baby steps

  • The Great Pyramids before climate change
  • welp. so much for 'pics or didn't happen'

  • Bloodborne in-game on Steam Deck with ShadPS4
  • I have to say this is extremely encouraging.
    I didn't think that the steamdeck would have the raw performance. But it seems to me that it does, but the emulator is lacking optimization (understandably for such an early stage)

  • Twystlock - Free, 100% 3D printable gaming accessories
  • sorry to disagree.
    my steam deck does not fit (comfortably, maybe if I were willing to force it more) in the case, with the Nub attached to the back.

    I love the Idea, and I'll keep the parts I printed to use it when I have explicit use to attach the deck somewhere. But I don't think the attachment will just live there

  • Twystlock - Free, 100% 3D printable gaming accessories
  • Will it fit in the case with the nub on the back?

  • anything to watch out for with 0.2mm or 0.1mm nozzle?
  • idler tension.

    depending on your print, if you want a tiny nozzle it seems likely it is some detailed figurine of some sort. maybe a miniature.

    when you print very tiny structures, but retract a lot, your drive gears can chew through your filament pretty quickly, because the retraction happens over the same bit of filament over and over again (because actual extrusion is so little).

  • Interestingly, at first glance, this may be possible with the nextruder as well.

    was Israel not attacked?

    I genuinely have issues trying to discern the propaganda from the facts.

    from what I gathered, I believed that Israel just took some land on which other people were living ~70 years ago, displacing these people.
    Those peoples didn't like being displaced and tensions grew, until attacks happened on Israel, to which Israel had mixed responses with violence and suppression, rinse, repeat and escalate for decades.

    Now Israel had it with attacks from Palestine, and is going with the only chance it sees at maybe stopping it, which is a very violent war, presumably with the target of breaking the hope of resistance for Palestine (probably with lessons from the US interventions of the last 50-ish years where more civilized approaches failed)

    If this (very simplified) view were correct, it seems that they are acting out of self defense, at least if you accept the existence of Israel, because if not they are the aggressors for occupying the space in the first place.

  • [Game] Helldivers 2 Gets New Steam Deck Graphics Preset Alongside New Difficulty Level
  • My experience with Cyberpunk was that the Steam Deck preset was a good starting point, but wasn't actually an ideal way to play the game.

    that is also propably subjective and may even depend on the deck you have, and in which areas the silicon lottery was good or bad to you

  • The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 appears on Geekbench
  • Wonder if benchmarks will switch to a more sustained load profile.

    I also hope that Android will get some desktop mode with maybe even linux app support like chrome os (but I of course am dreaming) to actually use the insane power in a more ergonomic environment than in my palm

  • Findroid v0.15.0 is now available for update
  • why can I not install it?

    first time i just get the share button on droid-ify

    /e: installig directly from github was no issue

  • Google Search is an illegal monopoly — what happens now?
  • this could be bad for mozilla / firefox.

    if Google can't continue to try to increase / sustain their market share, they may stop paying mozilla to be thw default.

  • Making Awesome 166 - Bambu Lab, Segment about Bambu and decrypted Bambu Logs.

    Apparently some group has broken Bambus encryption.

    Apparently, as he claims, the logs reveal not only (further) licensing issues with Bambu, they also apparently send the complete Model you want to print to Bambu, which would be a huge issue for any companies using them.

    What do you think? Anyone ever checked on the size of the logs? Does it make sense that they actually send the whole Model?

    /e: clarification, apparently the logs do not get sent to bambu by default on every print (even while in LAN-Mode) as it can be understood here, but all of this info is in the logs you can manually choose to send to Bambu (i.e. in the case of an issue with a print(/er) bambu is reasonably likely to ask for this).

    Tesla shows Optimus Gen 2 on Nitter

    I've just found this Optimus Gen 2 demo, and I thought it's quite interesting.

    The Hands are surreal, the gait is still weird, but from what I understand it's a lot easier to walk without an outstretched joint in robotics (avoiding singularity in the kinematics).

    Very curious to see if they just did the "easy" 0-80% and will kinda get stuck here, or will keep improving rapidly.

    Really looks like it may be used on assembly lines in another year or so. But this is promotion, so looking like that is kinda the point.

    what do we think the runtime of these is untethered? If they have a full AI stack in them, won't they need quite a bit of compute power?

    Smartwatch @lemmy.world TheYang @lemmy.world

    Modern Amazfit Smartwatches can respect Privacy with Gadgetbridge!

    Hey there, I've been on the hunt to get a few more and better sensors on my wrist, without having to send them to someone else as well.

    As it took me quite a while to realize this, I decided to maybe make this information a bit more discoverable. The Open Source App Gadgetbridge is a replacement companion App for smartwatches. As it explicitly does not use any Permission for networking, it cannot communicate any of it's data via network. As there is no official support from any of the larger manufacturers, it's support is somewhat limited, but as I realized now, Amazfit Smartwatches all apparently use the same ZeppOS, and ZeppOS is supported by Gadgetbridge!

    There are some limitations, for example DND sync from watch to phone is a work in progress, and SPO2 data isn't synced yet either, but I guess some of the people here might be willing to make that sacrifice.

    is masscoin.vip a scam?

    Hey there.

    All my scam-alarmbells are ringing, but I'd like to have a little perspective because I never got into trading with crypto at all.

    A friend of mine apparently put about $70k in different crypto into masscoin.vip Then there seem to have been some hijinx with mistyped adresses, and talks with support later, masscoin.vip representatives tell my friend, that they need to fork over another 10% of their holdings, so another $7k, to validate their account or something.

    This has to be a scam, right? The Money is gone, and since it was put in via crypto there is no way to recover it?
