Look Ma, No Batteries! Hands On With Lenovo's Self-Charging Keyboard

Jump

  • From an e-waste perspective not having a battery is really cool. The article doesn't mention this, but the plastic appears recycled too. I wonder how it types?

    • Watching Enterprise for the very first time

  • The horniess of the early 2000s makes Gene's vision of the Original Series seem downright conservative.

    • Is strictly negative participation in a community healthy for lemmy?

    Jump

  • The purpose and shape of a community should be up to the moderator. If someone wants to grow a "community" full of complaining and whining (and there are absolutely people who do) that should be up to the mods.

    That said, I think downvote abuse is super annoying, not healthy for "Lemmy in general" and would personally prefer it banned in communities I participate in.

    • I just finished watching Voyager... again

  • The only episode I ever actually skip. Although the "A" plot isn't terrible!

  • I'm surprised nobody has yet jail-broken Samsung and LG TVs and made a custom Tizen ROM

    • Death is a social construct

    Jump

  • I love the one where the bodies get dumped in the wormhole lol. Your essay also made me think of VOY's "Mortal Coil" where Neelix has a "spiritual" crisis but as you said the crisis can be viewed as coming from the collective definition of what death means socially.

  • uBlock Origin also has a built-in list (not enabled by default) that blocks cookie pop-ups too!

  • A Trek-inspired thought provoking essay is my favorite kind of post! Thanks for sharing.

  • Truly amazing how many journalists have drank the big tech kool-aid.

    • Plebbit is a peer-to-peer Reddit alternative that allows you to self host and own your own community

    Jump

  • I don’t get why people are so interested in the fediverse.

    Because Mastodon is Twitter without the possibility of an Elon Musk and Lemmy/Piefed is Reddit without the possibility of a Steve Huffman. You clearly feel that you can do better than the collective efforts of the ActivityPub devs so I am rooting for you!

  • "Lemmy" is actually not a platform like Reddit, it's software and the network of instances running that software is decentralized (Lemmy uses the ActivityPub protocol) meaning each instance is operated by a different person (or group). There are also other similar softwares like Piefed and mBin that work pretty well with Lemmy. That is all to say that if an Admin or Mod is "getting fascisty" you can block that instance, join another, or even create your own. That's the beauty of ActivityPub!

  • The only thing I’m aware of that they do even remotely better than anyone else is privacy.

    Where did you hear this? Its my understanding that they are one of the worst when it comes to privacy.

  • If your legs are the primary driver then you do not have the type of vehicle the law is targeting.

    • Starting today, California is coming for your e-bike throttles

    Jump

  • Electric vehicles with a throttle (what the law is targeting) can absolutely be used as motorcycles. Hence why CA feels motorcycle-like vehicles need to be reclassified. What the law is targeting are functionally motorcycles/mopeds with pedals attached.

    • Starting today, California is coming for your e-bike throttles

    Jump

  • Exactly, one look at the photo used in the article:

    Illustrates that this is not about regulating bicycles but electric mopeds/motorcycles.

    Also this law is not a ban on throttles it just (correctly imo) reclassifies electric motorcycles as motor vehicles.

    • Starting today, California is coming for your e-bike throttles

    Jump

  • This law regulates vehicles with a throttle AKA what most people would consider an electric motorcycle. ebikes (meaning e-bicycles that you need to pedal to move) are unaffected.

    • Matrix public server - which one choose?

    Jump

  • Matrix.org & the servers they run, which was originally funded by Israeli Intelligence

    Can you elaborate on this? The only connection I was able to find to Israel at all is that the British people who originally created the protocol worked for an American company (amdocs) that was founded in Israel in 1982, but bought out in 1985 long before Matrix was developed. Furthermore, Amdocs hasn't funded the development of Matrix since 2017 and the current Matrix.org foundation is based in the UK.
