This isn’t a first, quantum teleportation has been a thing since 1997. The breakthrough here is teleporting the information of an entire logical gate. The usecase here enables them to link multiple smaller quantum processors together so they can act as one bigger system.
Ianother problem is whatever you have that charges the keyboard, you’d need ~109 of them. I still think it’d be cool tho
Where are you getting that number? There are many different types of supercapacitors, which vary in lifespan quite a bit, the conditions (mostly voltage and temp) also have a big impact. The article doesn’t specify the type of cap used.
For instance this paper tests a supercapacitor rated for 2.7V at 2.5 and 3v. At 2.5v the cap is estimated to have a lifespan of 100yrs, with 3v scenario it’s 10.
Keyboards don’t get very hot, and the voltage draw is very predictable so I don’t think designing a long lasting capacitor for this usecase is particularly tricky.
I would be worried about the lifespan of the solar panel, but at least it’s still usable without that.
Isn’t tik tok closing down in the us in a day or so?
Not to be overly negative, but what are fans playing for these days? I only played the original 2 games and the (first?) North American one.
It seems people hate the modern stories, the gameplay is shallow at best and it’s parkour has been far surpassed by many other games by now. The games are very often used as examples of modern AAA studios having no creativity and just churning out the same game over and over. The games look beautiful and I’ve heard the educational versions are pretty useful, but what are the primary draw these days?
Again I don’t want to be a hater, that’s just what I’ve picked up from other people talking about it.
I know of this largely abandoned project: https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui
I believe that while steam has public APIs for most stuff but there’s no way for a 3rd party client to provide DRM authentication, so the majority of games will not launch unless you also have the official steam client installed (note that steam does have a cli client)., rendering any 3rd party apps either simple wrappers for steam or severely limited.
there’s plenty of “ugly” games here’s some I’ve played recently that came out this year:
Ironically street signage is generally one of the more regulated forms of advertising. Those guys that spin signs were originally there to get around those laws.
I don’t love touch screens on ovens either, but you just press the lock button and then you can clean to your hearts content.
Do you think that’s low or high?
Having a fast way of getting announcements to people is important. Everyone from the WHO to official government announcements to musicians with a new album to activists announce(d) things on Twitter. For that purpose the first and foremost thing is maximizing the reach of the announcement.
Now there are a myriad of better platforms for this (irc or a mastodon instance owned by the org) but quite frankly they will never have the same populations as bluesky or Twitter (in the short term) because they are a as you put it a “good” social media that isn’t just about infinite growth.
Be glad that the billionaire actively and openly trying to censor the world is losing out to the billionaore that will leave it alone and sell out again in decade or two. And on the side mastodon picks up the more traditional social media role among those in the know and maybe one day sustainable growth will make it the biggest fish and can take over from the replacement for the replacement of bluesky as the primary announcements channel.
Vizor said they could simply send a private message — known as a “whisper” in the game — that included one of these hardcoded strings, such as “Trigger Bot,” and get the player they were messaging banned from the game.
That is so fucking stupid.
Does it?
user A uses their full bandwidth from 2am-4am when the network is empty then watches a 720p video at 5pm (or whenever the networks peak is).
User B watches an 8k video at 5pm and nothing at any other time.
UserB clearly contributes to congestion on the network more than user A despite user A using more data. Furthermore throttling user A does less to resolve the congestion than throttling user B.
IMO If the network needs to throttle then the people the most data at that instant in time need to be throttled and the network needs to start upgrading its infrastructure or amending its marketing materials.
Really the current internet model is a little weird, it should be pay to use with on and off peak hours the same as other utilities, and throttling should be seen as a major failure that needs immediate attention.
Outer wilds felt really good to play, optimistic nihilism and a happy lonliness. One moment that really stood out to me was when I followed a certain object out of the solar system, spent pretty much 20minutes drifting in space listening to the other astronauts play together planets apart and watching the stars
Watching the stars slowly blink out and realizing that I won’t be able to save the sun, that it’s the whole universe going away. Givining in to the inevitability of it all ending and just watching everything end.
It’s one of the most peaceful times I’ve had with a game, and playing it in the middle of covid I cried happy tears. Go in as blind as you can.
Spotify is trying this with their audiobook subscription service.
Return of the obra dinn
I feel like it’s a game to be played in one long go, so I’m waiting for the right time.
anticigarette! They hate smoking
It’s pretty easy to make them use faux swearwords and then you can just apply a find and replace over that.
I helped set up a raser blade 14 with ubuntu 22.04 and it worked out of the box. Since setting it up I haven’t heard any complaints, which is usually a good sign.
A good month for action RPGs
Seems like all the way on the other end of the spectrum of Kingdom Come deliverance 2. Might pick this up after I’m done with Kingdom Come.
the lack of stealth is a bit of a turn off for me personally, but the hand placed events and mobs seems like a big plus.
Does anyone know if the game is viable without any companions? The reviews I have seen seem to complain about them a lot and I already dislike AI teammates.
