Did deep sleep broke for anyone else recently or is it just me?

I was running KDE Neon on ThinkBook 15 G2 and had deep sleep working after adding mem_sleep_default=deep to GRUB_CMDLINE. It worked for a while until it didn’t. I didn’t do anything other than running regulat updates. Since couple weeks back, when going to sleep, it shows BIOS Recovery progress bar or something and restarts....

have you updated EFI/BIOS recently? maybe S3 sleep is not supported on your system anymore and instead you get suspend-to-idle as S0ix (Modern Standby) notoriously shitty under linux. sometimes you can flip it back in EFI/BIOS

yeah it is, it’s 5 pairs + one triangle

What non-SMS non-Apple app can I use to "text" my younger kid on their iPad

Hi! My less-than-10-year-old has their own iPad (registered under my apple id) and wants to be able to “text” with the rest of the family. Most of us are not Apple people though: Android phones, using some combo of SMS, Discord, and Signal. The little one doesn’t have a phone, so I think that prevents us from signing them...

If you’re ok with signup by phone number (can be burner phone number), Telegram and Signal are options. Depending on country, if you’re unlucky you’d need to cycle through a few numbers that works for Telegram, Signal has no such problems

the more interesting bit: mexican cartels have their own skeleton network

Where did you learn partitioning? And do you need a guide everytime you install a distro?

I have been using linux about 4 years now and in that time i’ve done a bunch of installs. Lately i’ve been setting up luks and lvm, but each time i install a distro ive set up bodhi and nixos with this setup but the issue i have is that each time ive done it i’ve had to follow a guide....

consider gparted, it’ll handle some of that for you

What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

Serotonin hypothesis never really held water. Congrats on guessing right, probably, we’ll only see in some years from now www.science.org/…/how-antidepressants-work-last

no fees in closed access in organic chemistry, as far as i know. some other subfields can be different

open access can be easily two, three grands, and you better have a grant that covers this

arxiv has a narrow scope, there’s also biorxiv.org but both are for preprints which is a little bit different thing

not good. somebody actually tried and lived to tell the tale:

en.wikipedia.org/…/1999_Russian_apartment_bombing…

Pinyaev guarded a storehouse with weapons and ammunition near the city of Ryazan. Together with a friend, he entered the storehouse to see the weapons. The friends were surprised to see that the storehouse contained sacks with the word “sugar” on them. Pinyaev and his friend were discouraged, but didn’t want to leave the storehouse empty-handed. The two paratroopers cut a hole in one of the bags and put some sugar in a plastic bag. They made tea with the sugar, but the taste of the tea was terrible. They became frightened because the substance might turn out to be saltpeter, and brought the plastic bag to a platoon commander. He consulted a sapper, who identified the substance as hexogen

no, it’s sugar, can’t you see, it’s clearly labeled on the bag

i don’t know what are you looking for so i’m just gonna drop some resources that i’ve used:

starter: www.antenna-theory.com/antennas/main.php

more comprehensive: www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias

and on top of that, various amateur radio pages, some are indexed in dxzone.com

there seem to be two hard limits on antennas in general. one is for approx lossless antennas that are large compared to wavelength: gain, beamwidth and size are related through diffractive limit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction-limited_system it’s really about capture area, which is intuitive for things like parabolic reflectors, but for things like yagi antennas there’s some defined capture area that ultimately depends on their length

the other one is on non-directional antennas that are small compared to wavelength. basically one good antenna that you can make is halfwave dipole, you can try various trickery to make it smaller, but this comes at a cost of either smaller bandwidth or increased losses, or both to lesser degree. it might make sense to make an antenna with 70% efficiency which is 3x smaller for example. it all depends on precise requirements

at the end of the day the most important material in any antenna are tradeoffs
