I disagree, you can completely avoid both FB and Twitter. You’re not going to find any valuable info on either, except maybe some cutting edge current event things on Twitter. If either of them were completely wiped tomorrow my life would be unchanged.

Google on the other hand used to be a great resource for finding good info, but that’s ruined and getting worse as we speak. I’d argue its decline is significantly more impactful than what’s happened to FB/Twitter. It impacts me on a daily basis.

London-based animal welfare group World Animal Protection says cuddling koalas is cruel and is petitioning the state government for an outright ban. The group argues that studies show koalas are harmed “by the presence of visitors alone”, because people keep them awake longer than they would typically be in the wild, among other reasons. Koalas typically sleep about 20 hours a day.

Sounds pretty Kerbal to me.

Oooh okay. Thanks for the clarification.

Three bean salad, or anything with sweet vinegar sauce. That combo of vinegar taste and sickly sweetness is the single most disgusting thing I’ve tried. I can stomach most of the foods I dislike, but three bean salad will literally make me gag if I try to put it in my mouth.

Sardines are great and don’t taste like tuna. The best canned fish imo.

People have been mishandling UXO forever, this is hardly a current generation problem.

Real life Kerbal Space Program accident.

Regular people sure, but this is Lemmy. The nerd concentration here is significantly higher than average. I dunno, just thought it was fairly common knowledge in tech literate people that wireless G is outdated, AX is current, things like that. I can’t imagine spending money on a router without knowing the basics, which I’d consider the G/N/AC etc standard to be the minimum you need to know for making a decent purchase.

Fair enough. I thought it was just as common knowledge as wireless cellphone standards. Kinda surprised to see most people on Lemmy don’t pay attention to these, lots of the kinds of people who wouldn’t use the ISP supplied router / AP are here. Or so I thought.

I don’t know the 802.11 specs at all, but I know enough to purchase a router that won’t be outdated quickly.

You’re kidding, right? Wireless G, N, AC, AX etc are commonly printed all over the boxes of routers and is the main way to talk about their speed and how new they are. Do you not buy your own router? It seems as common to me as 3G/4G/5G but for a different kind of wireless.

I wouldn’t expect my mom to know it, I would expect most people on Lemmy to know and most somewhat tech familiar people to know. Not deep into the specs, but knowing AC is faster than N.

I haven’t, but I’d try. I know people love them, I just haven’t ever gotten into them myself. I keep coming back to try things I haven’t previously liked, as I’d like to know what other people like about them. It’s how I’ve whittled down what I don’t like to about a dozen things.

I’m pretty tolerant of most foods but Brussels sprouts are disgusting. It’s one of the dozen or so foods I dislike, and despite trying every couple years, they’ve never caught on for me. They remind me of cabbage which is another one of the dozen. Oddly, I really enjoy fermented cabbage be it sauerkraut or kimchi. Cauliflower is decent but I’ll agree it’s pretty bland at best.

Yeah, I knew the point, but then I realized my NAS in the basement is basically a more convenient Redbox with more movies for free and wanted to brag about piracy. It’s just so good. It would be cool to have a Redbox machine but tbh I’d really prefer one of those Netflix CDN boxes.

Those are 95 GHz but very high power and focused as well.

It's not that high frequency can't hurt you, what I'm trying to say is for a given power level, 30-300 MHz is the most risky to humans. That's why the FCC regulates this band the most stringently.

There’s nothing high power about that, It’s the same as everything else. Maximum 30dBm, about a watt.

Humans are most sensitive to EM radiation between 30-300 MHz. It tapers off after that, it’s not linear where higher = worse for you across the entire spectrum.

In the case of exposure of the whole body, a standing ungrounded human adult absorbs RF energy at a maximum rate when the frequency of the RF radiation is in the range of about 70 MHz.  This means that the "whole-body" SAR is at a maximum under these conditions.  Because of this "resonance" phenomenon and consideration of children and grounded adults, RF safety standards are generally most restrictive in the frequency range of about 30 to 300 MHz.

WiFi emissions are tightly regulated and there are no “high power” WiFi equipment unless you flash custom firmware and break the law. The link you posted below is the same power as anything else, up to the maximum allows by law. This is not uncommon, every router / AP does this unless it’s some special low power model.

What? No. If I write data to a Blu-ray it’s not encrypted. This comment makes little sense. Sony does not control “the encryption keys”, whatever that means.
