Relevant xkcd.

Ah crap, who bought the porous wineglasses again?

Just so you know, your name’s visible in the “Gemini crashes” image.

I can back that up; the drives I ordered were packaged in an antistatic bag, surrounded by an air filled cushion thing, in a hard cardboard box. (Assuming what I got was the “air pockets” it’s a plastic sleeve made of many pressurized sections that completely encloses the drive; definitely adequate IMO. I can dig up a pic if you want).

Hardware video decoding is now enabled for AMD GPUs on Linux.

…It wasn’t before? I’ve got an AMD GPU and have been using Firefox for quite some time, and videos have always played smoothly.

Article is paywalled.

But that’s awesome! It’s nice to see more (successful) lunar landings, and it’s cool that more private companies are giving it a shot.

They’re not indistinguishable, downloading a video results in the same amount of data being transferred much more quickly. But your ISP couldn’t care less either way.

Can you buy egg futures? Because that’s one heck of an APR!

I just rip my songs from Spotify. It’s not the highest quality, but it’s easy to find stuff and I wrote a little script to quickly download lists of tracks and albums so it’s pretty convenient.

If computers can do it, so can you!

George Orwell’s 1984 becomes more of a reality every day.

Lmao, did anyone expect something different? Never buy a product that becomes a brick when the company that made it goes under.

Don’t blow up the pipeline, that’ll pollute the environment! Go for the pumping infrastructure, if you can knock out a pump you can decrease or even completely stop the flow of oil.

Just wait until webcams start cryptographically signing image frames to ensure their authenticity.

You can copy and paste the video URL into the Wayback Machine, if it’s decently popular there’s a good chance the title and maybe even the video itself is archived.

Can they buy Minnesota too? Or can Canada annex us? Anyone? Please?

Yeah that got automatically enabled on my phone after an update… Guess how I found out?

That’s not entirely correct, they did use a fiber optic cable to transfer the data, as the more detailed article linked in another comment states. Quantum entanglement itself can’t be used to transfer data; you still need to send the entangled particles through some physical means.

From what I understand, the significance is that you can transfer the states around while keeping them in a superposition. Thus you can continue to perform computations with them even after moving them to a physically separate quantum computer.

Link to the script? I’d love to give it a try.
