I think so, the federation is often seen and portrayed as close as you can get to a utopia (Since it's practically impossible to achieve a "true" utopia). They still have issues, make mistakes and wrong calls, and even some (albeit greatly reduced) crime.

So having more positive association/references for the term socialist, a term that most general people can have a connection with, cant hurt.

all the electric motorcycles are like 100 lbs more and go through tires like once a year

compared to my gas powered motorcycle changing tires twice a year

...so, you're changing tires less on an electric motorcycle? I don't see the issue

Title: "The most environmentally-friendly device is the one you already own." The image shows a pie chart with Apple Corporation's CO2 emissions. In the center are the total emissions from 2018: "25.2 million metric tons of CO2". The pie chart illustrates the following (from lowest emissions to highest): - End of life treatment accounts for less than 1% of emissions - Corporate facilities account for 2% of emissions - Product transport accounts for 5% of emissions - Usage accounts for 19% of emissions - Production accounts for 74% of emissions The original report from Apple is: "Environmental Responsibility Report: 2019 Progress Report, covering fiscal year 2018": https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/Apple_Environmental_Responsibility_Report_2019.pdf.

    It's worthless when you can't upgrade a damn thing, it's frankly unacceptable to produce a laptop with soldered RAM and a soldered SSD (with no expansion options)

    Apple claims it's for speed and performance, which is technically true, but you're not going to notice that 10% difference between a good quality NVMe and some speedy DDR5 RAM

    But you will notice when you try to save some money on base RAM and base storage and then realize, you can't upgrade shit a year or 2 later and your only option is to drop another couple grand for a whole new device

    Fuck Apple.

    getting from here to there

    How dense would the atmosphere need to be to result in a cataclysmic chain reaction during a nuclear explosion?

    Famously, Oppenheimer and co worked out how close a nuclear bomb test would be to causing a chain reaction of nitrogen fusion in the atmosphere. They made a lot of worst-case-scenario assumptions and still came to the conclusion that no, a nuclear bomb test wouldn’t scour the surface of the world....

    I have no idea, commenting so I can remember to come back later

    Yea but this plan worked, the notification from someone commenting that reminded me to come back LMAO

    It's probably something stupid like a dollar a day

    If we're going to force people to work to live, maybe removing jobs due to automation isn't the best thing for society.

    Well, it certainly isn't the least painful way, but it's probably the most likely path towards getting UBI. The government will have to do something when 50%+ of its population is unemployed.

    Skydance Makes Offer For Paramount Global; Star Trek Franchise Could Be Under New Ownership, Again ( trekmovie.com )

    There is an update on the Paramount takeover buzz that kicked off last month with David Ellison’s Skydance Media reported to have made an offer to purchase control of Paramount Global. A change in ownership for the company that owns Star Trek could have an impact on the future of the franchise.

    cm0002 ,

    that Ellison’s father, billionaire co-founder of Oracle Larry Ellison, could help provide capital for the deal.

    FUCK well it was a good run you guys, ig what we got now is probably as good as it’s getting :(

    cm0002 ,

    I work IT and I can tell you, having worked with Oracle stuff, that anything even distantly indirectly involved with Oracle is shit or will become shit. It’s definitely going to be worse than Paramount.

    The only thing that would be worse than the spawn of Oracles co-founder, is a private equity firm that was also mentioned in the article as a suitor

    I mean…we could all pretend the Kelvin timeline doesn’t exist…

    What's the proper way to create a wireless bridge between two wireless routers?

    I’ve heard that WDS is the standard for creating a wireless bridge, but I have since read on a number of forum posts that WDS shouldn’t be used anymore. This idea of it being deprecated seems to make sense, as it appears that it is not supported by another newer router that I have (tp-link Archer AX73). How should I go about...

    cm0002 ,

    If you want to spend money, WiFi mesh.

    If you want to spend as little money as possible, see if your router can support OpenWRT (The AX73 doesn’t, I’d get rid of it if you can and avoid any routers with Broadcom or Qualcomm chips in the future) and then you’ll have the Wireless Repeater mode. Use the AX73 as your primary and the openWRT one as the repeater node and you’re set.

    If Ethernet between the 2 is viable, go with that instead

    cm0002 ,

    Yea Qualcomm is hit or miss (with more misses than hits) but never Broadcom, they never release drivers for their stuff without NDAs and lots of fees n shit (Fuckin assholes man lol). In fact you should avoid anything Broadcom, they recently acquired VMware and before the ink had even dried they announced they were revoking perpetual licenses to make people/business move to a subscription model.

    But back on topic, WDS is a more full featured version where both the primary router and secondary ones are configured to bridge with each other. Kind of like a proto-mesh.

    Wireless Repeater Mode, Wireless Bridge Mode, Extender Mode (There’s a lot of different names to it, confusing I know lmao) is a more pared down version, big difference is that the primary router is configured as a normal happy router and the secondary routers just hop on its WiFi signal as a client off one antenna and then rebroadcasts it off the other antennas (and through the Ethernet ports as well) all with the primary router unaware of the repeaters.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve used this mode, but from what I remember, it’s under the AP mode setting (Where you would select AP or Router mode) you would select Repeater mode then configure the SSID name and Security settings exactly as the primary router. Sometimes there was a dedicated spot for this, sometimes you just set it on the normal SSID Security settings screen

    cm0002 ,

    You can have a lot of accounts open lol there’s no need to close your current CU account for the most part. Some banks/CUs do have minimum balances or a monthly fee if below that but lots don’t, just double check the terms for yours

    I personally have savings accounts (And sometimes checking too) at like 3 CUs and a handful of banks lmao

    cm0002 ,

    The LD characters are much more like “real” people than the other Trek series to me.

    This is why I like it, it’s closer to how I expect “real” humans to act even 400 years in the future.

    The other treks are more idealized, heroized, professional.

    Newly-ish married. How to plan and save for home buying in NYC?

    Newliyish married, but the new reality is partner finished law school so going back to the DINK lifestyle. We live in NYC and are lucky to be in a rent regulated apartment. On one hand we realize it’s cheaper to stay there forever, but it’s not the most well maintained building the the amenities aren’t the best… Anyways,...

    cm0002 ,

    Honestly, screw the down payment, keep saving/what you have saved for house emergencies. Like furnace/AC going out, basement flooded etc.

    There are lots of mortgage programs you can get that require 0 or very low <3-5% down payment

    cm0002 ,

    Hope they are least keep the offline variant…

    It’s nice to have dreams lmao :'( ah well it’s proxmox for now

    cm0002 ,

    I kinda want to give them the benefit of the doubt because that’s just odd it seems as if someone just fat fingered the 3, because 75-95 makes a lot more sense

    But then again corporate gonna corporate soooo

    cm0002 ,

    Well I wasn’t really saying it was a fair or decent wage lol just that it made more sense for the range to be a difference of 20k instead of 320k lmao

    cm0002 ,

    Lol this is a shit show, who’s got the popcorn?
