"Maybe This is Too Cool" - After years of layoffs and pay/resource freezes, Amazon execs treat themselves to a private Foo Fighters concert worth millions
  • With this particular concert, no, they're spending company money (which otherwise could have gone to employees) for themselves.

  • Opinion: It's Time To Ditch 2.4GHz WI-FI
  • There are bricks of various kinds, and they can very well be challenging for Wifi. Concrete is even harder, and if you have reinforced concrete, good luck.

  • Trier: 180 Kilo Käse gestohlen – Polizist aus Dienst entfernt
  • Gesamtwert laut anderen Artikeln: 554 Euro. Also 3 Euro das Kilo. Definitiv eher Scheibletten als Parmesan.

  • The Satisfactory Roadmap to 1.0
  • When I first learned about Satisfactory, I thought this would just be Factorio with the unnecessary complication of adding 3D. But I got it through a bundle at some point, so I playtested it a bit (not much, just 200 hours) and then decided to put it away until 1.0 is released (as I really want to see the full experience before I'm done with the game). Since then, I tried every single game (I swear!) where you could build kind of a base in 3D freely, and nowhere saw a building experience that came close to Satisfactory. Not all is perfect there, for example I think it really should have terraforming, so not every little rock could block you from building your megafactory, but anyway, I'm counting days for when I can start building in Satisfactory again.

  • The Satisfactory Roadmap to 1.0
  • Snutt explains that in the video even. They will enter (closed) beta soon.

  • Elon Musk says Tesla workers will be sleeping on the factory floor when new $25,000 EV goes into production next year
  • And it won't go into production next year. But workers will still be treated like shit.

  • The Taliban’s curious love of SIM cards.
  • If you don't want to communicate with non-Signal users and are always within range of a public or known Wifi network where ever you are in Afghanistan, then I guess this is fine.

  • MSI's AI-powered gaming monitor helps you cheat at 'League of Legends,' looks great doing it
  • And that's actually an argument against buying this monitor, as long as you want to play any games with it. They have reason to ban you just for using this monitor. So in the end you have the choice between one monitor that could get you banned and all the others that don't. I know which one I wouldn't choose.

  • 'Try not to let moose lick your car,' warns Parks Canada, as more moose flock to highways
  • In Germany and Austria, there was a tax on salt for cooking until recently (1993 and 1995, respectively). To avoid that people buy the cheap road salt and use it for cooking, such a bitter component was actually added, usually magnesium chloride (sometimes also capsaicin).
    Many German sources still say you shouldn't eat road salt for that reason, so maybe this is still done (though it is of course possible, that those sources are just outdated).

  • Why do Lemmy users rarely use emoticons?
  • Scott E. Fahlman proposed using :-) and :-( to mark jokes and not-jokes respectively in internet posts in 1982, and they (and lots of variations) have been in use ever since. IBM's Codepage 437 character set (as used by the original PC) had two dedicated smiley characters even before that.
    There was no golden age of the internet where there were no emoticons.

  • The curious case of Epic Games: how the developer beat Google but not Apple
  • Besides, if you want to win a complex court case, it certainly helps to have more than a few million dollars, so you can hire more of the best lawyers and let them prepare for longer time. But at some point, more money gets useless, and the stock value of your company isn't even money that you could spend on anything.

  • Pinkbike Poll: What's The Least Awful Word That Means 'Not An E-Bike'? - Pinkbike
  • If you're talking about specific models, sure. But if you ask a group of people "Who's here by bicycle today?" the ones that came with an e-bike would raise their hands, too.

  • Pinkbike Poll: What's The Least Awful Word That Means 'Not An E-Bike'? - Pinkbike
  • Bicycle means two wheels, so a motorbike technically is a bicycle, too.
    But e-bikes are closer to non-e-bikes than to motorcycles in terms of components, looks and propulsion.

  • DOS_deck offers free, all-timer DOS games in a browser, with controller support
  • Of the current 16 games, 11 are shareware/demos. Only Beneath a Steel Sky, One Must Fall 2097, The Black Cauldron, The Lost Vikins and Supaplex are full versions (as those games have been released to public domain at one point).

  • DOS_deck offers free, all-timer DOS games in a browser, with controller support
  • It wants a code for level selection. You get the code for level 2 once you finish level 1, and so on. So just start with level 1 (F1).

  • DOS_deck offers free, all-timer DOS games in a browser, with controller support
  • Doom is just the shareware version, just like most of the others (some already called with that fancy modern name "demo"). Some are freeware, some have been released into public domain after they went out of sale.
