Really? I never heard that before. What would they care about how their caps are? I can’t see it having any impact on them at all. A lot of people got pissed about it when Coca Cola was one of the first to change the caps in line with the regulation, so if anything it hurt Coca Cola.

Also even though large corporations are almost always totally evil, it’s not impossible for them to do something good as well. Probably not for the right reasons, but still, one thing doesn’t exclude the other.

Isn’t the proper technical term a “spaghet”?

He has been known to have been rushed to the hospital once, because he kinda forgot how to breathe.

The monkey paw curls: all insects and other “bugs” are gone now, the food chain collapses bottom up and the human race is just about extinct within 10 years.

+1 for FreeRDP, I use it all the time!

I’m only working half day today and to be fair it’s more like hardly working than working hard.

Yeah these are the dicks that cried terrorism when Tesla was “attacked”

To the people who understand this meme: I hope your back is a bit better today, take care not to stoop down too much.

I really hate it when I search for an app the search result is on the right and the sponsored result is on the left. It makes zero sense and they only do it so people misclick and Google can charge the sponsored app for that. It’s the kind of shit that just makes the world a worse place, in the name of earning a few more bucks. Google could have made billions forever and be the good guys, instead they choose to be assholes because number must go up.

1337 comments? You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers!

I’m on 2213 right now, also joined around 2 years ago. So I would suggest it is in fact me who is carrying this network. Just kidding, we all know it’s Stamets@lemmy.world and by a lot.

Yeah it’s the Wingtech Revvl 7 5g, not the pro. The pro has 4 cameras, the non pro has the distinctive 3 cams.

Edit: in typical Chinese fashion it seems there are a lot of variants of this phone. It’s probably the kind of company that if you order 1000 or so, they can create the exact combination of parts you want.

But the Trump phone is definitely one of these variants.

That’s not how AC works at all.

AC works by evaporating a gas, evaporation (going from liquid to gas) takes a lot of energy. By dong this inside a ribbed evaporator, the energy gets extracted from the evaporator cooling it down. Then a fan ventilates the air in the room over the evaporator, which in turn extracts the energy from the air. On the other side the AC has a compressor which turns the gas into a liquid. This takes energy to do, so the compressor puts all that energy in, heating up in turn. A large condenser (looks like a radiator) is used to cool the coolant down. The compressor puts in energy in the form of pressure, but as the gas is hot it can’t turn into a liquid. By cooling it down in the condensor it can turn into a liquid. A fan is used over the condensor to dump the energy from the gas into the outside air.

For gas in the past something like R134a was used, these days something like R290 (propane, but very pure/clean) is used which is better for the environment. In a very real sense ACs are energy pumps, they take the energy from inside and dump it outside. But they can also work the other way around, taking energy from outside and dumping it inside. This leads to pretty cool effects where you can heat your home with more than 100% efficiency. Because the energy you need to put in is only the overhead for pumping the energy, but the amount of energy being pumped can by much much larger. Over 100% efficiency in a closed system isn’t possible, but since an AC dumps the energy in the outside air it isn’t a closed system. ACs are also known as heatpumps for this reason.

The way an AC can be used to dehumidify is because of the dew point in the air. This is a combination of the amount of moisture in the air, the pressure and the temperature. When the AC pushes the temperature from above the dew point to below, the air can’t contain all the moisture it contains. This will cause the water to condens on the evaporator in the AC. This can (and probably will unless you are in a very dry area) occur during normal cooling operation. This is why there are normally lines to take the water and get it out of the AC unit. When the water would remain, it’s a breading ground for all sorts of nasty stuff (look up legionnaires disease), so it’s important to get it out of there. A lot of times a small water pump is used to pump the water away.

When cooling the AC tries to regulate the amount of energy pumped to keep a constant temperature in the room. Older/cheaper ACs just do this by start/stop, but better more modern ACs can regulate their power to prevent big swings in temperature and save energy. But when in dehumidify mode, the only purpose is to push the condensor below the dew point. Now the AC could do all sorts of fancy calculations to figure out the dew point and get it there. However that isn’t done at all, most ACs just push the temperature down as hard as they can. This is because the further you get down below the dew point, the more water condenses, so it gets the moisture out faster. And it’s also really complicated to calculate the exact dew point and get the measurements, because the AC itself influences the measurements a lot, so it would need sensors further away. Some big systems can do this and also measure the amount of moisture in the air and regulate to that. But small systems people have at home usually just go as hard as possible.

This is the reason why it just never stops in dehumidify mode and the air gets colder and colder. Nerds can probably get something cooking with sensors and homeassistant, but regular home systems won’t go to a target when in dehumidify mode. There are hard limits to how cold it will allow the condensor to get, to protect the system and prevent frost, but that’s not really the same as a target temperature in cooling mode.

Some better ACs also have a smart dehumidify mode, where it closes the inside unit, turns off the fan. Then cools down the condensor a huge amount. Then opens the inside unit and slowly blows air. This way it can get a lot of moisture out of the air fast and not cool down the air a lot at once. But in the end it’s the same effect. The energy still comes from the room, so the room will cool down, it will just not have huge swings in temperature.

ZEG MAKKER!

Oi Ue, it’s fooking diabolical mate. Omelander topped me wife and now more ads on the tele, diabolical.

I think most young people are programmed to respond to “Hawk Tuah” by shouting “Rug Pull!”

You are right in how wasteful it is, especially since it turned out a lot of those satellites don’t even make it to 4 years.

However there is zero risk of space trash with Starlink. They orbit so low, it’s basically within the atmosphere still. They need to constantly boost themselves, otherwise they fall down and burn up. So these satellites are coming down within years all on their own, even without any controlled disposal.

It’s insanely wasteful, but it keeps SpaceX in business launching every week, which is kind of the point. But at least there isn’t a Kessler syndrome waiting to happen.

Could someone re-make this but with the big naturals Padme? Asking for a friend

Thanks for the suggestion. It’s my laptop from work, I have zero say in what software it runs, I don’t even have admin rights on it. None of my personal stuff runs Windows. But it might help other people on their own machines.

Not true actually, there are many hotels with excellent food. There is a hotel not far from me where a lot of people go to their restaurant even if they aren’t staying at the hotel, it’s just a really good restaurant in it’s own right.

I’ve also been on holiday where we had excellent breakfast options in the hotel, even the ones included were very good. You just need to check for those when selecting a hotel. I’ve definitely had worse meal in some restaurants than I’ve had in some hotels, there’s plenty of overlap there.
