The company I work for makes a product which goes into weapons like missiles, planes, jets, helicopters which are used by Israel and realizing that it was probably going to go towards helping kill innocent civilians. I mean technically we are sub sub sub contractors, but they are used explicitly for this project and purpose

My only consolation is that I stopped working on those ones personally after a week of “Make it work but dont change ANYTHING”, they constantly fail testing and are sent back for RMA, and the guy they hired to fix them is so criminally incompetent that the company has had to completely revise their hiring proces

Unfortunately with exactly 0 responses to my applications in the last year, I probably won’t be jumping ship to somewhere that pays well and doesnt have me as part of the MIC

I’m pretty sure coreboot was only available on the Chromebook fw which is no longer available

I dont see it as an option when configuring the 16 for purchase, but if it’s available somewhere I’d be interested as I already have one.

I believe they only have their custom bios and no word on coreboot support. Rumors are that they recently hired someone to work on getting coreboot working, but until framework themselves say something we wont know.

Borb (not mine)

That’s what we are already tbh

There are some ways to mitigate the majority of that kind of stuff: You can disable image hosting, defederate from instances with poor moderation or poor attitudes, filter out certain keywords, use cleanup tools like from dbzero. Not sure if the caching still occurs if you disable pictrs hosting tho

So from like 1 billionaire

Part of it was to create new jobs and hire people, meanwhile they - *checks notes* - fired a bunch of people?

Hell, some companies will still hire pinkertons

The 210 is straight ahead horizontal FOV, i just didn’t realize it was greater than 180°, which means it can technicaly never completely fill your peripheral vision. Your binocular vision with both eyes is around 115°. Vertical fov is only 135° though.

Theta = 1/2 human fov

r = radius of sun

Thr big problem with this is that pretty much all of our systems rely on infinite uninterrupted growth (e.g. social security) which is just not possible. Rather than tear it down and/or build new systems that dont rely on this, many people who have paid into the system feel ripped off that they have paid into it but will never see the benefits. The people currently collecting hold a lot of political and financial power and would never vote to interrupt that even for the benefit of future generations.

Attracts badgers, you say?

Dimmers will typically use a triac which cuts up the sinusoidal waveform. It doesnt actually lower the amplitude per se, but it limits the fraction of the time the waveform is on. Kinda like this. This means that a lot of the time the led isnt gettingas much or any power. The average power will be lower, and if the LED driving circuitry isnt designed to compensate for this, the LED will flicker.

Clarification on triacs: they get turned on a certain fraction of the way into the cycle. Triacs will stay on until the voltage across them is 0. Conveniently the zero-crossing of the AC wave (when the wall voltage crosses zero to start foing negative or from negative to positive) does just that.

Hold my beer while I make a brain out of some PVC tubes and mallets

A lot of them don’t know the difference between ab, abp ublock and ublock origin

Cancer is a prime example of op message

Also viruses started somewhere. A lot had to mutate to get them to be so deadly to begin with for deadly ones.
