- Comment on If I were to go out steal 34 cars. And charged with 34 felonies. One per each car. Could I not use the presidents case in defense of my own? Why or why not? 11 hours ago:
It’s been covered extensively. Look up “cars rule 34”.
- Comment on If we organised highly-publicised world-wide funerals for each animal that goes extinct because of our behaviour, maybe it would help sway people to take environmental issues more seriously 1 day ago:
Only counting known species, about 200-2000 go extinct each year. But the number could be an order of magnitude higher, according to WWF, the authority on biodiversity preservation. Even for the known species, who checks if every microbe, moss or tropical spider has been seen in the past 50 years?
Also, good luck getting people to care about invertebrates. Even if we identify which species went extinct, people will soon be bored hearing daily to weekly about a Hydroidolina member once seen in a South American bog, and change the channel to Fox News where they’ll be told about three animals once falsely declared extinct and how WWF are alarmists. “DoN’t ThEy rEaLiZe aNiMaLs mOvE?

Yes, the timing does not change whether the source is directly in front of, behind, above or below you, but people still tell these apart somehow. I think it’s the frequency response of sound from different directions reflecting off earlobes.

The camera’s USB interface tends to be rather slow, sometimes not even using the full USB 2.0 speed. USB-C card readers sometimes have USB 3.0 and internal ones are very fast, so you’re only limited by the medium’s read speed. And it allows a card swap if you have 2 so you can keep recording with a brief pause.

Use one without connectivity. Or get a microSD to SD adapter and a Wi-Fi-enabled FTP SD card… but I don’t think they make these anymore, much less durable, fast, high-capacity ones. Or get a USB-C microSD reader and keep it in the car if your phone has no free microSD slot.

- Comment on Streaming didnt exist in 1970 6 days ago:
You could stream 144p6 video with phone-like audio with a RealPlayer browser plugin and a 28k modem in 1998. DVD-quality video (high bitrate 480p30/480i60/480p24/576p25/576i60, now considered low-end for movies) only became available to stream about 10 years later.

- Comment on What's your favorite band? (Of frequency that is) 1 week ago:
Whatever, as long as they’re all there in some capacity. I had headphones that when unplugged a bit, they probably put the capacitive mic in series with the drivers, muting a mid frequency band, effectively making it sound like someone used a shitty “vocals removing” tool.

To prevent them from floating away of course (look at their shadow)

I get it. Having a super secure browser installed on a government-issued work device likely raises suspiscion. Use Tails on your own machine.

You can’t fit 25 squares into a square 4.675x bigger unless you make them smaller. Yes, that will increase the volume available for syrup.

- Comment on Do smoke detectors have little speakers inside them? If yes, would it be possible to hack them to play a little jingle? 3 weeks ago:
Piezo buzzers have a resonant frequency they’re strongest at. Two-pin piezo disks need driving at the desired frequency. Three-pin provide a phase-shifted feedback to the driving transistor to keep oscillating at the resonant frequency. Some include that whole circuit inside their housing so they have just 2 pins but those are for DC power, only the volume can be somewhat adjusted by changing the input voltage.

With mods, it has been approved in the Czech Republic. Yes, our DOT is a joke and now even run by the Motorist party. A guy is offering to import one, apply the mods (front licence plate holder, amber rear blinkers, slight smoothing of edges) and get it registered.

- Comment on Home renovations 4 weeks ago:
I’ll be assuming the pole is not grounded (electrically isolated from Earth, the earth pin of sockets, radiators, plumbing etc.)
The difference is not DC vs AC but between it being connected across two screws, for which a high current source (hundreds of amps at negligible voltage) will heat the metal up - as opposed to connecting a voltage (like 120V mains for AC or 170V single-diode-rectified & smoothed mains for DC) referenced to ground to the pole. The former will draw a lot of current from the source through the screws and metal between them, heating it up. A car battery could briefly deliver hundreds of amps and several kW, making them glow red hot. The latter will create a potential between the pole and ground, which will only draw current when a load is connected between the pole and the ground. For AC, a person’s body’s capacitance to ground, even with insulating shoes, is enough to feel a tingle. For AC or DC of sufficient voltage (above 60 V), they will get a shock if they touch ground and the pole, completing the circuit.
