  Sputnik 1 was the first artifical satellite put into orbit. Based on how you define “first rocket in space”, it might have been Nazi Germany with their V2 rockets

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guide - How to buy DDR5 in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Quite significant in theory, DDR3 maxes out at about 2000 MT/s (mega transfer per seconds) while DDR5 can go above 8000 MT/s, so about 3x-4x. I don’t know if this metric already includes the capability of DDR ram to access multiple data in a clock cycle, but I think it does. If it doesn’t, tje difference is even higher.

  Of course in practice the difference is not as remarkable, but still noticeable. Still, DDR3 is perfectly usable with a decent processor (light gaming and professional software), my main righ is a 4th generation i7 and I have no intention in upgrading for the foreseeable future.

  Extra: still use ddr3 and watch the world burn, but slower

  Unfortunately, that is not really possible.

  The UEFI standard, a pdf that describes in detail the unified system that all motherbpards use during the boot process, is 1200+ pages long. And that’s only one of the many subsystems in a modern system (that gigantic pdf tells you nothinf about PCI, about ACPI and usb, nor any other hardware peripheral). Also, since you are talking about a modern system, you also would need kernel, drivers and operating system calls documentation. All of these exist (for an open source OS like linux, and if you follow the aforementioned standards), but bundling them in a book, and keeping them uodated, would be just impossible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If president abductions are something that can apparently just happen how come Putin or Kim Jong Un aren't in some foreign prison right now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
  • the US most likely had inside help, Venezuela being less hostile towards them than China or Russia it was probably easy to convince people
  • head of states of China, Russia and North Korea are much more likely to expect such attacks and have probably more resources to spend on personal protection and armies. Putin is notoriously paranoid and it’s difficult to locate because he spends a lot of reaources to hide
  • as others said, those countries have nukes
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye Bye Big Tech: How I Migrated to an almost All-EU Stack (and saved 500€ per year)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because 1) EU laws defend the customers a lot more and 2) US companies have already so much power and money, they can fuck over you easier, and you don’t have easier alternatives, or at least some people pretend you don’t

  Yeah, but carrier locked phones are illegal in many places (and always have been), aren’t they still allowed in the US?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3175: Website Task Flowchart⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s not forget:

  • useless “help” pages that try and explain the most basic of concepts without giving you any information you are looking for, despite it being in the title
  • pagaes takes 35 seconds and 17.876 lines of JS code to load

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pot crashing out the kettle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Skibidi Toilet is way healthier than mainstream comedic tropes like “fat guy funny” or “gay guy effemminate” that were soooo common in mainstream TV and now are (luckily) fading out.

  Brainrot is equally stupid but more self-concious and more honest.

  And to be honest, the first time I stumbled upon Skibidi Toilet, I thought it was a 2012 Garry’s mod stupid video, game me the same vibe.

  However, Ai-slop brainrot (brainslop? Sloprot?), that feels worse. I know I’m pulling out the “kids these days card”, but what really changed is the media: TikTok and all the Tok-likes+AI are becoming better and better at rotting your brain. I don’t know if they really worsen the attention span, even temporarily, but I’m convinced it reduces people’s happiness and is the closest we can get to mind control as the consiracists intend it to be

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take the plea deal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If the situation turns out where Trump is falling (unlikely but not impossible), you accept a plea deal with current Trump allies that will wait for him to look away and stab behind his back, so someone else will take power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take the plea deal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That works under the assumption that Trump falls and crumbles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also the day that the world found out that Hitler had a micropenis.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At least they tried to hide it, now they don’t.

  As for the cold war, if you consider the conflict USA-USSR they clearly won: Russia was, at least at some point, equally powerful to the USA technologically and militarly, what one did first, the other caught up pretty quickly, then the Soviet Government collapsed for various reasons, and they couldn’t catch up, now the USA is arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world, in many aspects.

  China is catching up, but they are in no way equally capable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout 4's script extender has already gotten its anniversary update, as Bethesda battle creation issues⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Betheda being bethesda as usual, releasing overpriced merchandise, selling the same game you alreadt bought, while not even caring enough to implement bug fixes that modders already figured out gratis for you.

  And gamers spread their asscheeks so they can collect every version of the game that Todd spits out his mouth.

  Sorry for my saltyness, but bethesda really grinds my gear like few others do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3-bean soup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, what I’m saying is that latte = milk in italian, so if you ordered latte in Italy you would get a glass of milk, that’s what I mean by mistranslation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3-bean soup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  English has a really bad habit of mistranslating things, for some reason latte = coffee+milk, while latte means milk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just FYI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People don’t like being told they are wrong, so, if you are sure they are indeed wrong, giving them the option to reconsider is usually more tactful and polite.

  Also, I don’t know what your job is, but noone ks paid to be right. People make mistake because you can never be fully certain of anything. You are paid for your time/experience, and that allows you to be wrong (at least in a healthy environment).
