3·21 days agoI love unboxing some new tech, but why an access point specifically?
That might be helpful. So far I was skipping the window manager and just opening the application by itself in xinit.

Based on the ingredients, it sounds like blended in a kinda almost pesto.

4·1 month agoI feel called out. I know how it’s properly pronounced, but I can’t make my mouth put those sounds in that order. It’s uncomf-terble.

Technology@lemmy.world•An in-space construction firm says it can help build massive data centers in orbitEnglish
4·1 month agoI didn’t say it was impossible, I said it was hard. Bigger radiators absorb more heat when exposed to the sun. One of the problems becomes keeping the solar panels exposed to sunlight while keeping the radiators out of it. Putting them behind the solar panels might work, but they have to be smaller than the solar panels and any energy the solar panels don’t convert to electricity will be re-radiated as heat and picked up by the radiators, requiring a larger size. You could put them on the 'back" side of the spacecraft, but that limits the size. As mentioned in another comment, you could position the spacecraft in geostationary orbit on the terminator, but then reaction mass requirements for station keeping and data signal latency go way up. It’s a problem that has been worked around by people much smarter than me, but a lot of work went into figuring it out.

10·1 month agoSpace isn’t cold, it’s nothing. It’s a vacuum and vacuum is terrible at heat transfer by convection. It’s why thermos bottles have a vacuum layer to prevent heat transfer. You can try to lose some heat by radiant cooling, but that’s slow and if you’re using solar for power then any radiators become heat sinks picking up more heat from the sun. Then there’s conduction, and again, there’s really nowhere to conduct any heat to, what with the large distance between objects and the vacuum and all. Thermal management in space is kind of a hard problem.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What technologies are ubiquitous today which will be irrelevant in ten years?
3·2 months agoI feel like this is just a step towards getting back to phones that are hard linked to a provider like we used to have. Swapping a SIM makes it too easy to switch.

DRM: Giving people a lock, the key, and unlimited time to play around.
Is that recent? I can’t find anything about it getting cancelled because of content, only ratings. At least that was the official reason given each time. Which episode number is this?
