Reply to comment by VanillaElectrical331 in AR Brings Dungeons & Dragons To Life IRL by John_Parlet
Shit someone should make a cell phone AR glasses already. It would sell even at a high price point. Shit I'd love one.

Reply to Senator Warner’s RESTRICT Act Is Designed To Create The Great Firewall Of America by vriska1
Sigh. This article has some legitimate criticism of the bill, such as the jingo-ism animating it and the first amendment implications of banning TikTok.
Alongside that, though, is the same sky-is-falling rhetoric. It's justified by linking another article which uses as its source... not joking... "Internet Rumors". Maybe just ask a lawyer before saying what the bill does or doesn't do?
Possibly one from the EFF, for example? They'd even be on your side in opposing the bill.

That's illegal. You cannot opt-out your rights

Reply to The New Light Is Bad: There’s something off about LED bulbs — which will soon be, thanks to a federal ban, the only kind you can buy. by newzee1
If you are used to neutral white light - you get the feeling that incandescent light is a bad light like candles. Also you can have lamps with dual white LED ( https://lightingwill.com/collections/dual-white-led-strip-lights ) so you mix it as you please or by daytime. You would wonder how much the color of sunlight changes over the day - we just don't notice.
What is annoying is the flickering of cheap LED AC converter that pulses the light and result in strange effects.

Reply to Aptera’s Solar-Powered EV Is Finally Finished—and It Looks Just as Bonkers as the Concept by elister
Most efficient car-like vehicle design, everything else looks pretty outdated and pretty inefficient compared to this.
Looking forward to get mine (and I won't hold my breath, I can wait until they make it to Europe).
BTW: a good source of information is "Aptera Owners Club" youtube channel.

Yeah, it's really easy to spot yet another Kremlin shill going in hot with whataboutism.

The mildly staffer-edited form letter is old as time. Interestingly, it's easy to tell when you get one.

Most of those places have fluorescents, though. That is the absolute worst lighting, in my opinion.

This only helps while you're at home. It sucks to be in a school, office, or store with bad lighting, because you often can't just leave.

Call me old fashion, but that isn’t AI even if it’s at its lowest budget. It’s just exactly what you’re calling, a template.

For the last fucking time no one other than literal children is ever watching those videos, and they're only watching them because, surprise surprise, children like dumb shit. Like, the algorithm's capability to tailor content for users is literally the main selling point of TikTok.

It's called a form letter. The letter is prewritten with mad libs style spots for entering information to make it appear relevant to the person it's being sent to.

The US Govt is largely using it as a part of their Cold War against all things China, and as a target for their own campaign of fearmongering against China.

That's closing the barn door after the horses have escaped. Chasing the horses could result in a good outcome, while closing the doors won't help because the horses are already gone.

They're okay with corporations and the government lying to us. Suddenly they don't like it when anybody can do it.
