I actually enjoyed Solo, and would probably dig this one too.

“The local utility says it’s going to need a million gallons of water per day and 150 megawatts of electricity — enough to power 100,000 homes per year. “

I wasn’t sure what they meant with that water usage. Like does the water get recirculated and it’s a one time expense? Or is it a million gallons discharged into a river or sewer ever single day? Is it tainted? Or just evaporates from a cooling tower? Seems like a huge waste.

That’s what neighborhood backup batteries are for. Drop some sodium ion battery installations in each district, smooth out the grid and keep it up and running.

If you buy an electric mower, you never have to change the oil again. Or the spark plug. Or buy gas. Or clean the carburetor.

Holness is awesome. Check out “Garth Merenghi” if you haven’t already.

With the Republican Party fracturing, you’d think they would welcome this change. It would help them get elected. But they aren’t smart enough to realize that.

I don’t see how this is any different then standing behind someone who is typing and watching them type on a physical keyboard. If you allow someone to see you typing, there’s no security involved there.

That said, there should be an option (if there’s not one already) to turn off the creepy external googly eyes feature.

Gee, I bought this cheap made in China Android TV thing off Ali express, and I just can’t figure out how this backdoor got in here…

Installing Ubuntu on a separate partition? (lemmy.world)
 

So I’ve got an old Mac I use as a Plex server and I’m considering installing Ubuntu on a DOS-formatted partition I’ve already set aside. What I’m wondering is:

  • Do I just need this one partition, or is it going to need an additional blank partition for VM/Swap?
  • can I install Ubuntu on an external drive and then clone or dd the external install onto the internal partition I’ve set aside?

Larry Ellison (Oracle) to run Paramount (lemmy.world)
 

So although Paramount is being purchased by Skydance media, it’s being bankrolled by Ellison of Oracle software fame. Why he wants to run an entertainment studio, I have no idea.

“It’s not like ‘ER.’ It’s not kind of ‘ER.’ It’s not sort of ‘ER.’ It is ‘ER’ with the exact same executive producer, writer, star, production companies, studio and network as the planned ‘ER’ reboot.”

Austin ISD proposes tax increase (lemmy.world)
 

Because of Texas’ messed up “Robin Hood” school funding, a chunk of that increase would go to the state, not to Austin ISD.

NBC your Olympics coverage sucks (lemmy.world)

Not that I should be surprised, but trying to watch it today and it’s just talk talk talk talk. Commercials. More talk. Overhead shots of the stadium. People walking around in the rain. Talking head. Cut away to footage of Carl Lewis bitching about something. Instant replay of something they already showed. People hugging. Stadium shot. Human interest story. Commercial. Shot of Eiffel Tower. Promo for actual sports being shown on Peacock. Etc etc.

Meanwhile you can see there’s sporting events going on because they are showing them on the Jumbotron in the stadium shots. Really no excuse for this since most of this coverage is pre-recorded anyway.
