Has anyone ever seen such a "10A" cable and can tell what their purpose is?
  • Thank you, this is legitimately useful to me and I am grateful!

    Has anyone ever seen such a "10A" cable and can tell what their purpose is?
  • I know it's not my specialty, but isn't an amp and a watt related? I've seen cables that conduct anywhere from 40w (Steam Deck) up to 240w (cables on Alibaba, but don't expect a low price for them, and above 140w they're much thicker than usual by design or you're being scammed with false advertising).

    [Discussion] AI companies using the fediverse to scrape data
  • I don't need to be paid, I just don't want corpos profiting off of my data for any reason, so robots.txt works fine for me. The reason that's enough in my eyes is, I don't hate capitalism nor am I an anarchist or tankie, this is about halting enshittification and for one other reason:

    "AI is fundamentally about giving the wealthy access to skill while depriving the skilled of the means to access wealth."

    In short, eat the rich because they've ruined everything. They want capitalism? Then no more "laissez-faire" bullshit, you pay your fucking 90% tax on every dollar above 1 mil and shut it. Nobody needs 15 different colors of common Lamborghini and 1 Lambo out of less than 500. Nobody needs 5000 days of going to the mall to buy a dress every day. Nobody needs a personally-owned A380 private jet. Nobody needs 25%, 25 fucking percent, return on investment.

    That also applies to the internet and tech companies as much as reality and banks. When I used Reddit, I never told them they could block access behind a paywall and they know it, and they also knew I can't afford an international court case against an American tech giant. Now 90% of google is locked behind reddit, a company which shadow banned me well before the API issues.

    As long as Reddit, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. can't legally make free money off of this, I'm happy.

    A pattern I've noticed while in spectrum
  • Squadron 42, to my knowledge, is much closer to it's release than Star Citizen as an MMO. I suspect we'll be waiting until 2028 at earliest for either, but Squadron has a chance at releasing by then, late as ever but at least passable (and hopefully not a fixer-upper like NMS or Cyberpunk were) and possibly benefiting from it's age, but don't expect groundbreaking graphics as the games that have aimed for such since the release cycle of games in general hit the 10 year mark.

    Star Citizen will always be a living project as long as it exists, but Squadron 42 will be more in line with people's expectations. Remember, GTA V started development before GTA IV was released, GTA VI has likely been in development just as long as CIG as a company has existed.

  • You assume that it couldn't have happened, but that is not how we do things anymore. The people in charge wanted "fake news" as an excuse? No, they don't GET to have a fucking excuse. Now, it doesn't matter how untrue everything is, what matters is that we fucking kill each other until either FAKE NEWS IS IMPOSSIBLE AGAIN, OR NOBODY IS LEFT ALIVE TO READ IT.

    You all fucking DESTROYED my home, the internet. You destroyed optimistic sci-fi, you destroyed unpolarized politics, you destroyed MY FUCKING BREAD AND CIRCUS AND NOW? Now I'm going to destroy everything around me because reality lost the right to be my prison the day my government STOLE me from my parents.

    So find something you hate and start going to civil war over killing everyone you disagree with, OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU FOR NOT BECOMING MY WEAPON. I HATE YOU ALL, YOU FUCKING BALD RATS THAT CALL YOURSELVES HUMAN, DIE!

    I'm sure the women will be so very sad
  • I'm not even a woman, THIS shit is why I hate humanity. YOU. DO. NOT. EVER. DEFINE. SOMEONE. ELSE'S. SOUL. FOR. THEM. If my mom says she's too busy, I ADMIT she's not obligated and get myself a fucking sandwich because she's my mother and I actually care about HER. My dad is the same, he respects her because she's his wife and not just for appearances.

    So now we have men being incel assholes who think they are fucking "owed" sex, and women being backstabbing, TERF elitists who don't understand "eye rape" is just code for "if I don't find you sexy, you can't be in the same room as me" bullshit, because both sides care more about fucking SOCIAL STATUS BY PROXY than ACTUAL HUMAN DECENCY.

    I CARE about my family, but the rest of you? I literally only can empathize with your children now, EVERY ADULT in the WORLD has made themselves clear; You love hurting each other's children because they never figure out who hurt them until it's far too late for justice.

    You will make good practice dummies when I fucking shoot you all, burn in hell with me.

I WANT TO TORCH REDWOODS, I WANT TO SINK SHIPS, I WANT TO CARPET BOMB CHURCHES AND TECH STARTUPS AND MARA-LAGO, I WANT TO TURN THIS PLANET INTO A FUCKING BLACKENED ROCK BECAUSE EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED TO EXPERIENCE IS PART OF A LIFE I WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO HAVE!

    It's stressing me out to leave communities that are relevant to it unblocked. The sheer cynicism is affecting my mood and I'm having to block all communities about real life news of any kind for personal health, so I am wondering if anyone considers "A Boring Dystopia, but instead of being boring, it's edgy or (at best) a cool workaround for corporate internet BS." a deserving project to continue? I plan to remain lead mod but give the first new moderator free reign; I wouldn't be asking this if I had any intention of ever pulling anything stupid like deleting it on a whim, I think I would like to see it continue but in better hands than my own.

    I can't take reading about how the world is collapsing every fucking day, if anyone wants a mod position and has experience, DM me and I'll give you free reign with an exception for banning me from A Nerdy Dystopia (I will keep the main moderator position to prevent this). Shouldn't be that hard to run a community like this if you're used to A Boring Dystopia's posts, it's basically this but the posts are about subverting corporate control or about how non-boringly evil some people are. I just want to relax and can't run a community like A Nerdy Dystopia without getting stressed by all potentially-relevant content.

    GTX is an RPNation fandom RP that takes place in a heavily-modified version of the official lore of Glitch Techs, that adds in a backstory that places Hinobi and PLixel Technology as originating in the aftermath of WWII (PLixels were used to defeat Japan rather than nukes, much more humane and less lethal than you might be imagining, this isn't a grey goo kind of story) and the existence of many fictional megacorps from across fiction.

    It includes a lot of references; Krei Tech and Buy'n'Large are as canon as Arasaka and Vault-Tec in GTX's weird mish-mash, but leaning heavily towards the former because this is a very lighthearted and pro-escapist RP with a general theme of "scummy business practice doesn't pay" as Hinobi's monopoly arose due to extensive abuse of legal loopholes by Hinobi's competitors, who are usually corrupt megacorps from stories less optimistic than Glitch Techs that went bankrupt trying to act like they did in their source material. Among the other survivors are Innovative Online Industries (headed by a lookalike of Ratchet from the CGI movie Robots), microDyne (a merger of Cyberdyne Systems who created SkyNet, and microTech from Star Citizen) and - due to being a new introduction - Volpe who is a new company founded after the majority of others went out of business.

    Anyway, feel free to read and join if you're interested.

    newatlas.com Younger generations have bigger brains – and it's impacting dementia

    Bigger brains suggest better brain health and cognitive function. And since the 1930s, our brains have been growing in size. Now, a new study shows how this is affecting our risk of developing dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease.

    Unfortunately, not every dystopian element of real life is caused by corpo-jerks. Sometimes the full truth is inescapably fucking awful even before money gets involved.

    Got confused somehow, sorry about that. I must have had this tab open and mistook it for one of my "bad news suitable for Nerdy Cyberpunk Dystopia" tabs.
