  They did figure out the earth was round and measure its size with sticks and shadows though, so that’s pretty cool.

  FTA

  The original PlayStation 5, colloquially referred to now as the PlayStation 5 Fat, was equipped with 825GB of internal storage, of which approximately 650GB was accessible to the user, depending on system updates and other variables. The shift to the PlayStation 5 Slim introduced numerous enhancements, including an increase to 1TB of storage, providing the user with approximately 850GB of available space (subject to similar factors).

  The CFI-2116 revision, also known as “Chassis E,” marks the return of the 825GB SSD, which Sony advertises on the new packaging. Consumers are losing close to 200GB, or 24%, of usable, high-speed storage with the latest revision. You could argue that 200GB isn’t a lot, and that’s true in a way since some AAA titles — specifically, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War — are pushing over 300GB of installed size. But under normal circumstances, 200GB should be enough for one or two games.

  Seems like Sony has a bunch of 825GB hard drives sitting around to me.

  I always appreciate it when the test has a question or two like this sprinkled in (and if the teacher did it by accident, all the funnier)

  Fuck Visa but I’m 99% sure it’s a law (or a reinterpretation/expansion of an existing law) making them do this, it just doesn’t make sense otherwise.

  A guest on Space Ghost Coast to Coast put it best. “A plant out of place” is a weed, like an insect out of place is a pest. It’s a definition that centers ecology and targets invasive species.

  Been feeling this way doing rideshare the past couple of weeks. So many college kids and their wealthy parents going out partying and me with my degree and years of experience driving the cab.

  But they are pretty thick, since that means more impact-absorbing foam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please consider supporting Lemmy development⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Noting that communists weren’t better than Nazis got me called an ungrateful shit for existing

  Calling communists as bad as a Nazis is a form of genocide denial. You deserved your ban and you should learn more about history before you comment on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please consider supporting Lemmy development⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lemmy development mentioned

  dessalines criticized

  commies counter criticism

  thread turns into a shitshow

  aww yeah, it’s Lemmy time.

  This appears to be the first record of a coelacanth in this area, previously they have been found off the coast of South Africa.

  TBH I think mid budget and non major franchise movies are over in theaters. Streaming has simply devalued them too much. Time will tell if theaters can survive off blockbusters alone.

  named after one of the most mid Star Wars games

  then again if we get to see N1 Starfighters in a cool ass-battle sequence I’ll watch that slop.

  idk how it works but it does. I’ve been using Rite in the Rain for years but there are others too if you search it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pens in Space⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus pressurized pens are useful in more than just zero-g. I used to use one along with a waterproof note pad for note taking in the field. They’re also not prohibitively expensive, although the ones from Fisher itself carry a pretty huge brand name markup, other companies sell them for a couple bucks each.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Original 'Star Wars' Cut Will Be Shown at a Theater for First Time in Decades⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  None at all. They originally filmed the scene with an actor in a big fur coat, but they cut it out because it’s kind of redundant - we don’t learn anything about Han that the earlier scene with Greedo doesn’t teach us in a more interesting way. Then they decided that Jabba would be a giant slug man some time in between 1977 and 1983.
