- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 6 days ago:
Its regulation. You are not allowed to just use any frequency band. 2.4 GHz is free to use for whatever, so a lot of stuff uses it. 5 GHz is already in radar range so the chips have to detect and turn off when detecting radar.

People in Germany protested in front of a Gestapo building in 1943. Post your posts.

Its so ubiquitous that LLMs will always say it like that when it comes up.

No that’s it.
- Comment on why is EVERYTHINGGGGG behind a paywall? 2 weeks ago:
I think many people underestimate how much money it costs to run and maintain stuff. Especially webapps.

Potential based on temperature and concentration.
- Comment on Spent half an hour on it. Felt good. 3 weeks ago:
I worked at a lot of different tech companies, and it will be read or at least analyzed in some way for sure. They care about your wallet and why it closes.
- Comment on How do you feel about someone taking the coins people tossed into a fountain or other public waterworks display for "wishes?" 3 weeks ago:
Often, that money is used to fund the historical site to which the fountain belongs, they are basically donations.
- Comment on Is using MicroSD cards a good way to store data that you can destroy quickly incase an adversary is about to seize control of it? 3 weeks ago:
The way to do this is plausible deniability. There is software that allows creating an encrypted volume with two passwords, resulting in two different decrypted volumes. So you give the duress password and there is no incriminating data on there.
For example grapheneOS also has a duress pin that wipes the device.

If they are owned by people, all the assets of the grocery store are personal assets and wealth of the individuals owning them.

The judiciary only has power if the executive accepts that it has power.
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 3 weeks ago:
I will post this every time.
Billionaires have an unhealthy concentration of power, but they don’t have a billion on their bank account. They own companies that are worth that much. They also aren’t necessarily assholes.
Germany has many medium sized companies. They mostly treat their employees really well. Good pay, guaranteed jobs for their kids, etc. Many for sure are worth over a billion. And they are privately owned, so the owners are billionaires or close to it. So what is supposed to happen to those companies ownerships? Would it really be better if they are publicly owned?
I’ve come around to think that a wealth tax is necessary, but it’s for sure complicated.

You realize that a single grocery store with all of its stock is likely already worth more than 1000x median income? Who does the grocery have to be sold to to pay your 100% tax?

Get yourself a carbon monoxide detector, that stuff is deadly and should be ruled out first.

Jo, 4xx is a client error, if it was a server error should be 5xx.

He eats less than he burns. Could be just high level of base activity - even just walking around a bunch makes a huge difference, much more than sports. Or could be very low appetite.
- Comment on That explains a lot 4 weeks ago:
Unfortunately an Alcubierre drive dumps a shitload of high energy radiation in the direction of travel when it stops. We would sterilize every world we get to.
- Comment on How does secure boot in computers work, and how is the default Windows Secure Boot different from the Secure Boot of an alternate OS (such as Linux)? 5 weeks ago:
Basically it works by every component validating the next one before loading it.
- UEFI validates the bootloader
- Bootloader validates the OS
They do this by checking a cryptographic signature. Specifically, UEFI checks that the bootloader is signed by a certificate that is in turn signed by a certificate authority (CA). You can upload custom CA keys in the UEFI interface.
Per default, every UEFI ships with the Microsoft CA. That does not mean you can only run secureboot with Windows and you absolutely should enable secureboot on every machine you own. Microsoft does sign other signing keys allowing them to be also used with secureboot. For example, every major Linux distro has keys signed by the Microsoft CA and so secureboot works out of the box with those.
Even if you have an OS that does not have a signing key signed by the Microsoft CA, you can upload your own secureboot keys to get around that.
It should be pretty clear at this point that all of this is pointless if you do not set a UEFI password.
- Comment on Some examples of video games with an UI layout ripped off of another game? 5 weeks ago:
I just want to voice the thought that “ripped off” is not a good term for this. It has a very negative connotation. The reality is, people try all kinds of stuff and whatever works sticks. That’s a good thing.

You mean a hotbar? Minecraft didn’t come up with that.
- Comment on THE EARTH IS SPHERICAL, DIPSHITS 5 weeks ago:
It gets funnier. A millionaire flew two flat earthers to the south pole where they proceeded to live stream the 24 h sun. Its called “the final experiment”. Yet one of the flat earthers still said the earth was flat.
- Comment on Do you feel like you've reached the end of what the world has to offer? 5 weeks ago:
That is impossible. There are more unique experiences than one can have in their lifetime. Getting a bachelors, meaning really surface level understanding in one topic takes three full time years. If you actually had nothing else to do, you could do that for maybe 15 topics. And that’s just learning. What about sports, music, traveling and the endless other human activities.

- Comment on What even is fire? 1 month ago:
It’s a gas where the chemical reaction has produced enough energy to heat it up to a temperature where it emits visible light. Kind of like a glowing piece of metal, but in gas form.
