And at 8x the thermal conductivity of copper, we might see some diamond HSF's as well.

Boats typically don't scan local RF unless they need to for the simple reason that boats - especially LARGE boats - are absolutely godawful environments for wifi.

Metal panels between each deck and most of the walls, instruments and engines and microwave ovens running at all different times every shift generating RF noise... you almost need an extra repeater/access point for EVERY SINGLE ROOM and running on separate channels if you want it to be at all reliable.

They also moved the servers from Steam to Epic around the same time, and it's unmitigated rubbish ever since. Match-ups are a joke. People with a lower ping than you basically have superpowers. With the addition of machine-learning bots becoming popular just after all that, it's made the game pretty hard to like these days.

I've taken apart a Toughbook to try to resurrect a dead hard drive. It was the most brutally annoying laptops I've ever had to tear apart.

I have SO much respect for those machines, but if it's being sold without a HDD, be prepared for some pain getting it open and then back together again.

They mess a lot with your sleep in general, altering your lucid state, to the point that what might otherwise have just be a dream becomes something closer to a trip.

Armchair speculation from an avid scifi reader... I wouldn't be surprised if at 30 g's we start to see mass destruction of capillaries as blood pools in loops and kinks and then bursts. Which is extra bad when some of those are inside your brain.

Colonel Stapp did short duration 46g in 1954 and survived.

Is that the time on the rocket sled when his eyeballs filled with blood? Nasty. He was very brave/totally crazy.

>The mean (and standard deviation) age of 2016 decedents was 50.0 (±11.4) years and 52.3 (±16.8) years for the 2024 decedents.

27 organ material samples from 2016 and 24 samples from 2024 - but they don't say if they're from different people. I assume they are but it's not stated.

Just wondering how much the increased age would have contributed to differences between the two years.

These were from autopsies.

It was different people who died in different years.

I thought they were from dead bodies?

You're saying both of those no longer exist on streaming services? That's a goddamned tragedy (though I have local copies of both).

Side note, I first watched Strange Days on a VR headset (the Gear VR) while on a 6hr flight, having no idea the movie would be about virtual reality. That felt pretty damn special.

Ah no. To clarify I was highlighting mvkel's point by pointing out two lesser known films that future film historians would want to access to in addition to The Matrix.

Luckily there are plenty of DVDs floating about for those films, but you can imagine a situation where a cult classic released now will not have that physical artifact.

With books there is a requirement for to upload all books published in Australia to be put in the Australian National Library. The US has something similar.

It's surprising that something like that hasn't been legislated for film and possibly for TV.

It would be quite doable today technologically.

Mind citing a source on that? What ad scheme? What vested interest?

This is what you guys are talking about when you say you see a lot of ChatGPT-made comments, right?

So you think it's bot that's intentionally adding spelling mistakes? I think it's more likely a human in an altered mental state.
