- Comment on DeepSeek Transferred User Data & Prompts Overseas Without Consent, Claims South Korea’s Data Protection Authority; Activities Were Carried Out When Service Was Active In January 1 day ago:
No link to a source in the article. I searched for it and found a CNBC article that posts a link to the “report” from the South Korean Data Protection Authority, but its a bad link. I dont read Korean so its difficult to search any further, but I found no evidence that the south korean authority made this claim.
- Comment on Why are Nickel and Cobalt considered ferrous? 2 days ago:
Yea it seems like including Ni and Co as ‘ferrous’ materials is only done in certain industries/applications. From a pure chemistry point of view, only iron (Fe) is ferrous. [source: got bachelors in chem]. Also, as mentioned elsewhere, some people/industries [incorrectly] use the term ‘ferrous’ to mean magnetic, but the actual term is ‘ferromagnetic’. Lots of the old terminology (lots of latin) is still used even though we now know they are technically incorrect.

Interesting idea but this article gives absolutely minimal technical information
- Comment on Millennials are watching monthly student loan payments skyrocket from $500 to $5000 under Trump: This will ‘crash the economy’ 5 weeks ago:
40kUSD is nothing compared to some STEM degrees - especially at the masters level. PhDs can often be funded and not cost the student though (only in lost time…and mental health…)

Through the Voyager phone app I sometimes use the ‘random community’ search option to make Lemmy like StumbleUpon. I dont see this random option through desktop though…maybe its a Voyager thing
- Comment on RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users 3 months ago:
What makes you say that? From my recent experiences with short form media I’d say there are plenty of bright people involved. There’s tons of actual good STEM/Maker/DIY/Educational/History content and the medium lends itself well to quick community building
