General tech sites will mostly cater to the tech the general public care about, enthusiasts don’t bring in the ad money comparatively

Ticketmaster only exists to reduce the income of musicians.

The musicians would exist without Ticketmaster

The venues would exist without Ticketmaster

The crowd would exist without Ticketmaster

They only extract value

I was about to remark how this data backs up the events we’ve been watching unfold in America recently

Was just thinking this

A single LiDAR sensor prevents this kind of issue

Of course it was

You know that thing scammers do where they set up a situation they’ll use for blackmail later on?

Don’t know why that just came to mind

This is the first time I’ve realised these comics are actually from the 50s and not just modern ones stylised to look like it

Big thanks for providing this extra context, that made it a lot clearer for me

I’ve not really touched radio stuff in a long while now but here’s my attempt.

Single sideband (SSB) is a radio transmission technique for sending audio (often voice, but many data modes use SSB too) whilst being pretty efficient with the use of radio spectrum. Think like FM and AM modes on a consumer radio, except those approaches take up a bit more bandwidth compared to SSB, so you can’t pack as many stations into a radio band without interference.

And this is where I might be completely off the mark, but this novel approach is interesting compared to the more conventional approaches due to the reduction in the complexity of the components needed to do this and a reduction of waste power. As the other approaches involved essentially generating a double sideband signal (I can’t remember what the technical term is, but part of me thinks this might be standard AM) and filtering out the (typically) lower mirror band.

Not really in a situation where I can watch a video without potentially annoying someone right now, but

A municipal mesh network isn’t a bad idea, but I worry about what security measures are in place, effectively securing a wireless network with hundreds of independent stations feels like it wouldn’t be trivial.

And surely this will need a WAN gateway to the internet somewhere, so it’ll only be as reliable as the route to that uplink.

This might have all been addressed in the video though, I’ll see if I can find an article about it.

Probably true, worth pointing out I browse with the “old.” theme when I’m at my computer which doesn’t come out bad at all given it’s pretty basic HTML (just tried it on my phone too, which is something I wasn’t sure would give a good result)

You’re right though, it would be a good pull request to the Lemmy UI to add a print stylesheet

The linked article is a jargon festival, but that’s to be expected given the topic. I still found it pretty interesting despite not fully understanding it

I was going to say this but using the print to PDF functionality in most OSes

Is it actually missing the engine? That looked like it was there when I skimmed a couple of the repos

Missing assets is pretty common when they open source commercial games, the rights of the art is often more complicated than just doing the game code.

Why? If they’ve not done anything wrong, they’ve got nothing to hide

Treating it like a joke because half the GOP are probably implicated in some way and this is a flimsy attempt at minimisation

Whilst I’m pretty excited about this in general, it’s got me even more excited that a positive reception of this might spur EA on to actually do some more good, and release the sources for games from other defunct studios they’re doing nothing with like Bullfrog

I’d love for the community to give games like theme hospital, dungeon keeper and populous a lick of paint

Maybe some of the old weirder maxis games too, like SimAnt & SimCopter

This has given me a horrendous idea involving a Windows batch file and a weird shebang
