- Comment on Can you have an infinitely long wavelength of light? Or is there some maximum? 2 days ago:
Wouldn’t f=0 describe any place of equilibrium in the electromagnetic field? Anywhere there isn’t currently a photon?
- Comment on Can you have an infinitely long wavelength of light? Or is there some maximum? 2 days ago:
If I’m not mistaken, their last paragraph describes this to contrast the answer above about the longest (I.e. lowest) frequency.
- Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker? 5 days ago:
Ask any apple fanboy/fanatic and they will tell you, and they will be correct: Apple rarely leads the charge. They wait and they bide their time, and they watch how a technology is applied and how it works well and how it fails, and then they engineer a solution that they believe to be a smoother user experience to everyone else, and only then do they drop a new tech.
Budget phone makers are trying to stand out and captivate a much smaller market segment, so they have to go big or go home, or else no one will care.
The big guys are so big that they can actually use the market itself as market research, and the big guys are so big they can hold out until they know they have a stable, proven solution.
- Comment on Spiritual Safety Tip! 5 days ago:
It’s high-effort satire and the original site is now derelict but it originates from this page.
- Comment on Bring them back!!! 5 days ago:
The new movies suck ass because they try to make science the bad guy, but not only is that a shit story we all see through, but it still reads as capitalistic greed and hubris, but now the movie feels like it doesn’t know what it’s talking about.

Change just one “n” to a “d” and we’ll have some coffee and we’ll talk

This is the part of the internet that we have forgotten. Everyone is supposed to be their own little island but they all connect. If I want news I shouldn’t have to go to Facebook, I should have to go to the news org.
This is why the Fediverse has been thriving by imitating monolithic platforms like Reddit or Twitter but doing so in a way that domains (aka “sites” are still all their own.
I shouldn’t have to go to Reddit to get to CNN, I should have to go to CNN to get CNN. CNN should not join Lemmy, CNN should host a Lemmy instance and have communities for topics and programs, and its users should only be people who work there. And that should all be federated out for the rest of us to interact with.
(CNN was the quickest news org name to type and I wasn’t about to use Fox as an example)
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 1 week ago:
It’s actually quite comfortable to use, despite it feeling like an Xbox Duke with anaphylaxis and as thin and cheap as the Wii U gamepad without the battery in it. I’m sure that they did much better with the Steam Desk and eventual rumored Steam Controller 2 but they definittknownwhat they’re doing.
- Comment on Protect your inbox from unsolicited adverts with McTruth Email Defense™ 1 week ago:
Wasn’t someone botting DMs on Lemmy with the name Chad McTruth? Also I think someone made a comm for it too
- Comment on The End Of The Hackintosh Is Upon Us 1 week ago:
Is there no way to get it to run on ARM systems? Are none of them powerful enough to be useful without being Macs?

Well… well how’d you get the beans above the frank!!?

Same as everywhere else
- Comment on You've got to stick up for the little guy 1 week ago:
Honestly I’d defend more of their bullshit if they used their billions and billions of liquidity to like drop non-fentanyl laced food into Gaza.
- Comment on How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking 2 weeks ago:
The USB consortium should sue Nintendo to force them to take the USB connector off the switch 2 then.
It ain’t universal if you block it. From working with anything but your devices, and yet you advertise it that way.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 2 weeks ago:
When games put DRM in them that requires a server
And I buy that game
And then they take away that server
I want my money back
Or for them to latch the game so it works
It’s not fucking hard to figure out

“What the fuck is this paragraph of ranting nonsense?”
“Oh, it’s an ad for piefed “
- Comment on Just keep typing, wage slaves 2 weeks ago:
Obviously it’s been reposted
- Comment on Reevaluating my password management 2 weeks ago:
Self hosting a password manager is great, but be sure to read up on keeping it secure, and don’t store anything important in it until you have working, tested backup solution. And re-test it frequently in a non-destructive way.
If you lose your password storage to a disk failure or something, you’re gonna be hurting for a while.
- Comment on You've got to stick up for the little guy 3 weeks ago:
Nintendo never told third world mothers that their own breastmilk was dangerous for their children. Nintendo never funded paramilitary groups to protect their hold over slave labor.
Nintendo did not produce MULTIPLE Riddick movies
- Comment on You've got to stick up for the little guy 3 weeks ago:
They are testing the limitations of patent law as we speak? In a case that’s not getting nearly the attention it should for the precedent it could set
