- Comment on In a Win for SpaceX, FCC May Loosen Power Limits for Starlink 5 hours ago:
No this is for everything including personal devices. It’s very simple to just say it’s like everyone listening to their phone on speakerphone and the louder it is and the closer you are the more distracting it is to you. Everyone can use it but the more crowded it is the more problems you have. If everyone uses it responsibly then everyone can use it and it’s fine. That’s why the FCC sets power limits because otherwise you could jack up the signal with a ton of power and no one else can hear anything. For signals it is only the same frequency that interferes with each other but all the space comsats use the same popular KU band so they have to share nicely.
- Comment on In a Win for SpaceX, FCC May Loosen Power Limits for Starlink 7 hours ago:
FCC power limits are generally to prevent spectrum corruption, like they don’t want your radio to overpower everyone else. So yes, more power is generally better for the signal but it’s a shared pool of limited spectrum so your use can hurt other people.

It’s also very acidic and bitter tasting if it’s strongly carbonated.

- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 1 day ago:
Even lightweight glasses can be irritating and the extra weight from steel v plastic is noticeable. There will never be ar glasses or goggles that are comfortable to wear all the time.
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 1 day ago:
It’s been over a decade since the oculus rift came out and there hasn’t been much improvement.

It does have Bluetooth on and you can’t turn it off . But the wifi setting can be turned off
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 2 weeks ago:
People are migrating there, but if there’s not a lot of content then the few people that really push out a lot of content because they make money will be very prominent.
- Comment on Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs. 2 weeks ago:
That won’t work, because building a new factory takes 2-5 years and if the tariffs drop at any point then you’re stuck with a product way more expensive that nobody will buy.
- Comment on Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs. 2 weeks ago:
No I mean it wouldn’t be possible to make them here, if you tried to build a series of factories they would not have enough workers. It’s like an order of magnitude scale difference, the largest industrial plant in the US is 30k workers and in China the big one for iPhones is 350k. And that is 350k people working super long hours. Even in China labor isn’t plentiful anymore, there is shortages of labor in the coastal areas. You try to hire a staffing firm and tell them you want 300k skilled workers in a city and they’ll just laugh at you.
- Comment on Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs. 2 weeks ago:
It’s not about the price. There just isn’t enough capacity and workers to build that many.
- Comment on Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs. 2 weeks ago:
No. Even a large tariff on a 3$ piece of plastic that retails for 20-30 won’t be worth adding anything.
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 3 weeks ago:
Graphics cards only come with one HDMI port though. The LG OLED is popular for 4k screens because it ticks all the boxes and is much cheaper than equivalent gaming monitors, but that means it doesn’t support dp.
And it means that you have to upgrade the graphics card just for the cable even if it is still relatively new. The point is that we shouldn’t be held back by just a cable .
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 3 weeks ago:
I think you could have a second connector in addition to a main USBC.
Honestly we need higher capacity for screen cables for PC. Both HDMI and display port are limiting performance because of their low, 40-80gbps, bandwidth. Their performance maxes out at 4k120hz with uncompressed HDR color. You can’t use 8k screens or multiple 4k screens without lowering quality.

Not that they don’t get along, just that there is a difference in normal regionally.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 3 weeks ago:
There’s regional and cultural differences, famously brusque NYC and easy going west coast in particular.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 weeks ago:
It should be easy to get updates with a little hacky help, they’ll be available on the long term support schedule.

And you need cold ice. It should be dry and close to 0f, not wet and already melting.
- Comment on Horses ARE Forever 4 weeks ago:
Horses are only fast because of the shape of their four long legs. You can’t just give someone a carrot and long ears and expect them to be a horse. That just makes them a cat rabbit.
- Comment on Horses ARE Forever 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, but there are a lot of neglected emaciated horses from people that shouldn’t have horses.
- Comment on You are not living in reality if you do not see the huge difference between THEN and NOW 4 weeks ago:
There were houses in the US that were only 25k just before the great recession. Not everywhere certainly, small houses in major cities, we used to have cheap houses not too long ago. It was only after COVID that all the houses went up to a national minimum because of WFH and other things.

How do feed sorters work? And before you say Google it, that brings up farm equipment.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 4 weeks ago:
It’s hard for the subreddits that barely have any traction as is. But it’s entirely feasible for most of them. Is there a way on lemmy to have small communities new post always come up on the top of your feed?
- Comment on Attorney General Bonta Urgently Issues Consumer Alert for 23andMe Customers 5 weeks ago:
They didn’t say what they were testing for. You can do a binary do you have DNA or not test to see if you are in fact a robot or not. All you need is soap and alcohol.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
Yeah, if you are comparing the house you bought in 1980 for 10k dollars and say you pay 5k in tax every three years, using 2025 dollars then that is totally useless as a statement.
- Comment on “It’s a lemon”—OpenAI’s largest AI model ever arrives to mixed reviews 1 month ago:
The really useful part is just natural language recognition, which is much better than previous things. Using it in games or software would be a big improvement.
- Comment on “It’s a lemon”—OpenAI’s largest AI model ever arrives to mixed reviews 1 month ago:
At this point, it is useful for doing some specific things so the way to make it great is making it cheap and accessible. Being able to run it locally would be way more useful.
- Comment on Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader 1 month ago:
White or red suits look bad, but blue is democrat, so they make it not blue by making it a power suit . The red and blue power suit is pretty traditional though .
