Excellent Radiolab episode about this. Pretty interesting https://radiolab.org/podcast/goo-and-you
Still got October and November too
Zardoz@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•France halts iPhone 12 sales over radiation levelsEnglish11·2 years agoA Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 5.2 W/kg technically does exceed limits and device manufacturers agree to meet regulations. However, SAR values are not constant and can vary with real-world usage. Phones often operate at lower power levels, reducing actual SAR exposure.
A weak microwave, for theoretical comparison, would likely put out hundreds of Watts per kg.
People are way more likely to get heat damage from the battery than the radio waves from a cellphone
Anyone got any spare money to buy ads on reddit? I know it’s giving them money but maybe it’ll help bring more over

For now. They will raise it again months later
Can’t speak for everyone but here are the reasons I prefer an actual jack:
-
3.5mm headphones are extremely universal and can be used for any audio device. USB-C and Bluetooth headphones cannot
-
Bluetooth is extremely inconsistent when paired with multiple devices and often gets disconnected because of competing devices
-
I can’t charge my phone and listen to USB c headphones at the same time
-
Manufacturers claim the removal of the jack was to improve the water resistance. I have never dropped my phone in water and would be willing to risk it.
-
I already have too many wireless things to charge
-
I have a small stockpile of broken wireless headphones. Meanwhile my 10 year old wired headphones are collecting dust
-
I have never lost something more often than that tiny ass USB to 3.5mm dongle adapter
-
I distrust large corporations with incentive to get consumers to buy more stuff from them

Everyone thinks I’m crazy, but for as long as I can remember I can usually stop mild twitches by just thinking about it. They sometimes come back after a few minutes but usually not.
That’s probably the only superpower I have.
Hollywood will just do what they always do. Pour billions more into lobbying the government until they pass something that will allow certain exemptions.
Think I won’t upvote this? I upvoted cans of beans. Have an upvote.

Not much, hbu?
Zardoz@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•If everything runs fine, do not touch13·2 years agoGets even worse the more years of experience you have. You end up being the solo dev trying to figure out a stupidly over complicated 20 year old piece of software written by a sadist that loves WCF and using tcp sockets to send data between classes in the same project
Agreed. The bean meme memes are where it’s at now
Not a proxmox pro by any means, but it can do both VMs and containers. I have a few VMs for various Linux distros to play around with. I also have one dedicated VM for all my security related tools.
Stuff like PI hole, jellyfin, logstash, etc. dont really have any need for a full OS, so a container works perfectly. Plus having a full OS with several things running on it makes it more difficult if you just need to restart one service
I started doing everything in VMs but over time realized some things were better to maintain as containers
Honestly I kinda wish it would give shorter answers unless I ask for a lot of detail. I can use those custom instructions but it’s tedious difficult to tune that properly.
Like if I ask it ‘how to do XYZ in blender’ it gives me a long winded response, when it could have just said ‘Hit Ctrl-Shift-Alt-C’
