I mean, “[problem] + Lemmy” works
Actually put Lemmy in quotes and it’ll return better results

Pork can be done all the way down to medium rare now that Trichinosis has basically been eradicated from pork. Though most say it’s best at medium.

It likely depends on if your great-grandparents naturalized as US citizens before your grandfather was an adult.

I don’t think they offer free tuition to non-EU citizens

Do you have ANY Italian ancestry? Even fairly distant like 100+ years ago? Irish grandparents?
Other than that it’s gonna be tough bud.
Not EU but there’s ways to do remote work in other countries… Look into some “digital nomad” communities although they often come across as gross privileged fucks who just want to exploit lower costs of living and not try to fit in at all.

Easy choice. The US gov has massive power over me. The Chinese gov has near zero.
If I had to choose I’m definitely going for the Chinese.

- Comment on Report: Switch 2 Announcement Expected This Week 6 days ago:
Basically.
So the Switch uses an Nvidia Tegra X1 chip to power it, which isn’t the only device nor the first that it was used for. The Nvidia Shield TV and Google Pixel C (tablet) used it too. On those devices holding down a certain button at boot would put it in a special mode that let it boot from code sent over USB.
The Switch simply did not have this button, but by shorting those pins you send the same signal.
This is a very low level hardware feature so Nintendo couldn’t ever patch it with an update. They had to make new hardware to fix it.

You need to bridge a few pins in the controller connector. There’s several ways to do that as shown in that link. Then you can upload jailbreak software from a PC.
I personally used aluminum foil successfully, then bought an actual jig later.
- Comment on Report: Switch 2 Announcement Expected This Week 6 days ago:
Sure but that’s far less convenient than early switches where you could use a bit of aluminum foil in the controller socket lol
- Comment on Report: Switch 2 Announcement Expected This Week 6 days ago:
You’ll probably want an early model then they usually have the most vulnerability

It can definitely take millions of years for photons to leave a star due to dense protons causing collisions.

Or finding content in 8k
- Comment on Happy New Year! Thought I'd share my new year's resolution to the people here 2 weeks ago:
8k has no place in the home. Anywhere, really.
When a single movie is hundreds of gigabytes it doesn’t fit on existing home media standards and the marked for physical media is dying too much for anyone to make a new one. Plus, streaming services are definitely not gonna jump on that kind of bandwidth usage. Unless they compress the shit out of it and lower the bitrate at which point while technically 8k you would probably see a decent 4k Bluray exceed the quality.

According to Italian law if you have Italian ancestry, you’re Italian. There’s a whole process (with many asterisks and exceptions) in which you can apply to get your Italian passport

- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 5 weeks ago:
Surely, unless you have medical issues it cannot be worth $1300/mo + deductible. You could save that yourself and probably get through most emergencies.
(This is statistically speaking, of course in an unlikely serious emergency you might sack up some insane costs.)
