  Interesting to see such old games getting any attention in terms of licensing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pump up the jamz⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even with your simplistic fossil fuel car in your example the alternator within can also be used as a motor.

  Not by “simply reversing the flow” it can’t. You’d need to remove and replace many components, just like the example of changing an Rx to Tx system

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pump up the jamz⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An LED (or photodiode used as one) is a fairly simplistic device compared to an assembled receiver / transmitter. Just like you can burn gasoline in a car but you can’t push a car to turn the engine to make gasoline - it’s a complex system that really only works one way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pump up the jamz⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if you invert the flow of electrons, a receiver becomes a transmitter

  Ehh not really. That’s kind of like saying if you invert the flow of photons, your eyes work as flashlights.

  “It could be possible with some changes” the changes would amount to removing the receiver and replacing it with a transmitter. In this specific case I’m not sure if a transmitter already exists at this antenna and it’s definitely possible one does, but that’s not a guarantee at all

  The characters role is to be a controlling spouse. If Walt was gay married to a man who behaved the same way Skyler does, they would be just as frustrating to watch on screen. It’s not inherently gendered, you’re putting that on it.

  I don’t get it?

  First thought, someone’s gonna nut into that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate how people mix up correlation and causation with JC Penney and it’s couponless trial. It was ALREADY very much a failure when it decided to try removing coupons - that’s why they tried it. It didn’t make enough of a difference to pull them out of the nosedive they were in.

  It’s not that not doing coupons doesn’t work, it just didn’t save a failing business.

  1000%. Used PCs are the way to go over a raspberry pi unless you have specific accessories or something. Almost everyone just uses a raspberry pi as a USB host or for network services anyway. Gpio use cases tend to be better served by Arduino or esp32 too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The best computer from 2014⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Raspberry pi might beat it for speed but not for half the price. Even the barest-bone 4gb pi5 is $60, and that’s without storage or power supply. You’re at at least 3/4s the price once those are factored in.

  And that’s just considering raw speed. If you expect to play “PC” games, you’re probably going to want an x86. Raspi may well lose at that point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My whole point was that her motivations and actions are reasonable and she is mostly in the right (ie she is “good” not evil), but her character’s mannerisms are still extremely hate-able.

  It’s not about acting like a normal person and it’s certainly not about being a woman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being hateable doesn’t mean you’re wrong. Obviously Skyler was acting in her family’s best interest and walt was a psycho POS but she played such an unlikeable character.

  There are plenty of likeable “evil” characters and plenty of unlikeable “good” ones. People act like if you hate Skyler you somehow don’t get the show, but no, I understand her character just fine, it’s just that she’s insufferable about everything.

  Regardless, hating the actress for the character is smooth brain shit

  The mantle is between 500-4500K, meaning most of it is hot enough to glow at least a dull red.

  You don’t say lava is black because once it cools down it turns black…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Lemmy.world cracking down on VPN users?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it would but I’m just saying what I’m seeing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Lemmy.world cracking down on VPN users?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the result of the webservice returning an html error page instead of a json response.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns to love the bath bomb⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rite* of passage

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was wondering why my laptop heats up too much lately⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely a bug or a site is very much doing something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This would be a nice temperature for Easter, not for Christmas Eve.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aussies really have trouble with spelling, huh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨trash⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the recycle bin, not trash.

  Apple apparently has the rights to call something “trash” and didn’t like that windows was doing the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is neither amperes per hour nor watts per hour. Those imply division (1 watt, over two hours, would be 1/2 a watt per hour. Useless as a unit for most of us). Ah and Wh are amps or watts multiplied by hours, pronounced as amp-hours or watt-hours (1 watt, for 2 hours, would be 2 watt-hours)
