Eufalconimorph, to memes in Me Too, me too...

Not directly, but they improve the low-power modes substantially, and using the low-power modes for longer times is the solution. Inverters aren’t strictly needed, but they do make it better.

I said nothing about safety. I just said it should be considered a different class of vehicle if it meets certain characteristics. SUTs are great for camping, for hauling surf boards & kayaks (possibly with a rack) and tow just as well as pickups. They don’t have a full-size bed, so they’re worse at most jobs, though the larger cab does mean they can carry more workers at once. It’s a trade-off: get worse at most work-related tasks, get better at personal tasks and thus reach a wider market.

At what point does it become ok to have an open bed?

When the distance from the back of the truck to the front of the bed is longer than the distance from the back of the cab to the front of the truck, it turns from a Sport Utility Truck into a Pickup Truck. Typically that’s around when the bed gets big enough to haul a sheet of plywood or drywall safely.

Of course it’s OK to have an SUT instead of a pickup truck, just not as useful for construction work.

Eufalconimorph, to asklemmy in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

Motorola Razr IIRC. First smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S.

Eufalconimorph, to linux in Use cases over 'distro' discussions

People use computers to accplish tasks. That requires running software on an OS, but nobody runs software or an OS just to sit & watch it exist. They run it to accomplish tasks.

Different distros mostly vary in how easy it is to accomplish various tasks. No one distro is the easiest for everything, so people make different choices depending on their needs.

Eh, as a weirdo who uses Celsius a lot but lives in Buffalo, NY…

-20s is cold. Coat, gloves, scarf, & hat. Long underwear. Not too much evaporation from the lake since it can freeze, so not much snow.
-10s is chilly. Coat, probably zip it up towards the lower end of the range. Decent chance of apocalyptic snow.
0-10s is cool. Wear a sweater.
10s is nice. Maybe consider long sleeves & pants if it gets a bit cooler.
20s is shorts & t-shirt weather.
30s is all AC, all the time. Uncomfortably hot not too far into the range.
40s is “the humidity is now so high the air is soup, filled with mosquitoes”.

Negative absolute temperature is a thing. Lasers exhibit negative temperatures when active, i.e. the lasing medium has a negative temperature expressed in Kelvin. Adding more energy doesn’t increase its entropy, it just turns into more laser light. Any such system with bounded entropy can have a negative thermodynamic temperature.

Not if they have to see that guy with his pants off!

Eufalconimorph, to memes in Calculus? Nah, bro, that's easy stuff

You use the cleaning function first, then the dry function. Don’t just dry the shit on there (well, maybe you would, but everyone else washes first, that’s the point of a bidet).

Eufalconimorph, to electronics in Bought my first "bench" power supply 😁

The “isn’t huge” is the issue. Linear supplies need a rather big transformer to work with 60Hz mains instead of chopping it up at 20kHz or more like switchers do. I’ve got a Siglent SPD 3033X-E (decent, reasonably cheap) and a BK Precision 9201 (better, more expensive).

The small supplies are nice for size, but tend to have more noise than the big linear supplies. If you’re working with low-precision DC circuits, or even stuff up to audio frequencies (basically still DC) it’s not likely to be an issue. If you’re working with RF circuits it’s more likely to be an issue, though of course if they’re not too close to the switching frequency it’s easy enough to filter the output.

Eufalconimorph, to asklemmy in What is your favourite floor cleaner liquid and why?

Murphy’s Oil Soap for wood floors.

Eufalconimorph, to electronics in Community seems dead. Can we mirror reddit posts here?

No, they made an assertion, without statistics or raw data to back it up. How many replies do cross-posts get, compared to regular posts? What’s the mean? What’s the median? Does the distribution look Gaussian, and if so what’s the standard deviation.

Eufalconimorph, to movies in Happy Halloween! Share your favorite scary movie suggestions!

Threads (1984 BBC tv movie banned from rebroadcast for 40 years due to being too horrifying). It’s about the death of hope, and how all that remains after is to hope for death.

Edit: I’ve seen it once. That was enough, I never want to see it again.

Interesting. I’ve mostly seen communities overwhelmed with bot posts and 0 replies, but I haven’t taken any statistics.
