afraid_of_zombies, in What sci-fi-esque inventions are the most plausible and could happen soonest?

Breadlines except for meal replacement drinks. We have meal replacement drinks we have breadlines. Eventually this will make sense.

InFerNo,

I hope so, because you’re not making sense. Could you rephrase?

GBU_28,

A bread line, but with a nutritious drink provided. Pretty clear?

CoffeeJunkie,

😂😂😂😂😂😂

afraid_of_zombies,

There are plenty of parts of the world where governments/aid groups have to distribute food. Most of it is staples like bread and rice. We also have these protein drink things now that brag they can replace any meal. At some point the cost of those drinks will fall to making it worth giving out meal replacement drinks to people instead of bags of rice.

I’m not sure any of those are full diet replacements though. They serve as a good breakfast or lunch, but I don’t think it’s recommended you replace all meals with them. At least not in more ideal circumstances.

CoffeeJunkie,

We’re hardly in ideal circumstances. Now, some of these meal replacements are true, well-rounded meal replacements that are full of nutrients. Huel comes to mind.

InFerNo,

Thank you, I had no clue what breadline meant, this clears up everything.

Yes, but where will the protein come from? My guess is bugs. It’s already a staple of the Cyberpunk franchise both videogame and tabletop, where most of the world eats something called scop, or single celled organic protein. A megacorp called All Foods produces a beef substitute made from genetically modified flatworms called EEZYBEEF. Or how’d you like a pizza with vegan cheese and pepperoni made from locusts?

afraid_of_zombies,

I imagine soybeans.

intensely_human,

How often does this happen?

afraid_of_zombies,

Soybean based protein drinks? Umm fairly often, I had one yesterday.

RampantParanoia2365,

…will? The powders exist now, and they’re…not bugs…they’re plant based mostly.

Yeah but with climate change affecting the world so drastically, how much soil is going to be suitable for plant growth?

XEAL, in Your greatest weakness becomes your greatest strength. How is your life different?

I’m undepressable and I don’t have ADHD anymore

32b99410_da5b,

All those walls and furnitures will miss you ricocheting off them.

XEAL,

WHERE DID YOU PUT THE CAMERAS

Adi2121, in Your greatest weakness becomes your greatest strength. How is your life different?

I’m not really sure what my biggest weakness is, but I’ll just say its my crippling fear of asking people for stuff. So now, either people ask me for things, or whatever I ask other people to do is immediately done? More confusing than a strength I’d say.

A_Very_Big_Fan, in Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion?

I think they’re pretty tbh. There’s a huge stretch of them in a field I drive through sometimes, and at night I like to just stop for a second and watch 95% of them all flash their light on top in sync across an impressive distance.

And sometimes there’s one or two flashing out of sync in a weird rhythm and I assume it’s like an error code which I think is pretty interesting

Bytemeister, in Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion?

Yes, in the form of dead birds and bats.

Personally, I think wind turbines look cool.

Actually safe autonomous transport and delivery would be a great next step. But the enterprises are putting their pre-alpha releases into the public and killing people which is souring the public to the notion.

vonbaronhans,

To be fair, Tesla is the primary culprit of this. Waymo and other AV companies have just been slowly but steadily ramping up their testing and operating in relatively safe ways, and they are by and large doing pretty well from the coverage I’ve read. It’s not happening as quickly as anybody hoped, but we’re seeing steady improvements over time.

Tesla is just reckless, though, branding things in ways that make the whole AV endeavor look much worse than it deserves.

Other power sources also cause visual pollution and I like windmills better than columns of smoke.

Rhynoplaz, (edited ) in Your greatest weakness becomes your greatest strength. How is your life different?

Ask me about our plans for next week or what that person said at work last month! I now remember everything!!

Sgt_choke_n_stroke, in Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion?

It causes visual pollution like a politician telling the truth too much.

It’s a load of bullshit

RBWells, in Your greatest weakness becomes your greatest strength. How is your life different?

Not my weakness becoming a strength, but going away and now I am a different person, my inverse? But my strengths do not become weaknesses?

Disorganization is my bane, and a complete inability to multitask, so I guess I would either be obsessive/compulsive or would be able to be an executive assistant or politician.

Delusion6903, in Is Sync for Android worth the cost?

I’ve been thru a few but my current favorite is Summit https://discuss.online/pictrs/image/2d3c983e-40eb-4726-9fb7-0981f5383d2f.png

stoy, in Do you know any file hosting sites with a good privacy policy?

I have said it before, but it is worth repeating, if you want to transfer a large file over the internet between two persons, Bit Torrent is still a good solution.

You obviously need to encrypt the data before sending it, but 7zip should sort that out for you, you then just create a torrent and send the torrent file over, and seed the torrent until completion.

As long as the file is securely encrypted and both sides terminate the torrent as soon as the intended recipient has the file, the risk of data leakage is minimal.

MashedTech,

You don’t even need a tracker if the torrent client has the ability to do so.

stoy,

Oh yeah, magnet links exists

plenipotentprotogod, (edited ) in What sci-fi-esque inventions are the most plausible and could happen soonest?

You might be interested in the pop-sci book Soonish: ten emerging technologies that’ll improve and/or ruin everything. I haven’t read it myself, but I’ve read the authors’ other book about space colonization, and it was excellent so I would expect this one to be as well.

Hadriscus,

Ah that’s Zach Weinersmith the author of SMBC, it has to be excellent. Haven’t read it but will put it on my list now

some_guy, (edited ) in When you AirPlay a show you're streaming to your TV, does the site send it to your Mac's VPN IP or do they get your own IP from the receiving device?

Edit: My bad. I was distracted and interpreted this as a local stream from a device in your home, like a Plex server. If you’re using a streaming service then Netflix or whoever sends through your vpn.

It’s local. Nothing is leaving your network. You would have to deliberately open a port on your router for it to get back in after going through the VPN. That’s how you can verify that it’s local.

cheese_greater,

So does the website get my ip address, sorry?

thefactremains, in When you AirPlay a show you're streaming to your TV, does the site send it to your Mac's VPN IP or do they get your own IP from the receiving device?

The site streams to the IP of the router then to the Mac and the Mac sends it over the Wi-Fi to the local IP address of the TV.

joyjoy,

If you do it through the app, like YouTube, it may have special code to connect directly to the TV and tell it to run in the app.
