  • Yeah that is fun and all but I can at least guarantee you that that shit won’t fly in Europe, and likely neither in Canada. I can only imagine other countries will be penning their own laws outlawing this.

    So tech giants then have the option to either go for separate chipsets for those countries or stip selling there.

    Also, how do you want to implement this? Have the GPU request GPS data from the computer? That won’t be hard to forgr., but let’s say you ge that, then what?

    You need to send that info somewhere or it’ll be useless. How? Over the Internet? Ahw, my firewall told you to go fuck yourself. Over its own GPS line? A little bit of aluminum foil can do miracles.

    So what are you going to do then? Require an active internet connection for your GPU to work? Bwhahahahha. Have you seen gamers responses to games that require active internet connections to play? You won’t sell shit.

    This is again a law designed by absolutely.emoty headed idiots tompleae some other empty headed idiots.













  • I regularly advocate for banning phones from schools but people here in Lemmy (same on Reddit years ago) completely lose their shit with that idea, start talking how that’ll leave them defenseless in an emergency, how it is torture, how they absolutely can’t live without them

    Not thirty years ago nobody had cellphones in school, they barely existed, and everything was fine, everyone was fine without and with cellphones I see so much shit going on. Yes, it’s the Future, kids need cellphones, but they also need to learn to be without cellphone, and they need to learn responsible use.





  • Seeing title:

    revolutionary

    Rule: when someone claims a revolutionary product, it’s probably bullshit as I see revolutionary product announcements about twice a day and real revolutions about once every decade at best.

    Reading article:

    Yeap, this is something somewhere in some lab that one day maybe a decade from now find its way into a consumer product, but probably not air conditioners anyway…

    For the moment it sort of sounds sort of like a Peltier cooler, which also is useless for airconditioning



  • TL:DR: Everything? Like, literally everything.

    If it’s about driving? They’re looking everywhere except the road in front of them

    Computers? It’s cringe, all I will say

    Flying? Not even close

    Brushing teeth? Put some tooth paste FFS!

    Sex, perhaps? As bad as porn videos are at showing realistic sex situations, movies and especially TV shows are typically way worse with all the requirements to not accidentally show a nipple, omg!

    Martial arts and fighting? The worst offenders. After twenty punches to the chest that will have broken half of the ribs, the protagonists now suddenly finds the strength in thinking about keeping his little girl safe and now he beats up 20 guys with those broken ribs

    Being punched unconscious or getting some chloroform and they wake up the next day? Lolololollll. Humans are notoriously hard to keep them “out” without killing them, it’s why anesthetists are paid so well, it’s a very complicated job. When you’re out from an impact to the head, you need medical attention, you likely have a minor amount of brain damage. If you’re out for more than ten seconds, it’s brain damage for sure. If you’re out for over a minute, you’re likely not waking up with full abilities, you’re likely going to be a vegetable at best

    Okay, doctors then? Saving a patient’s life with the buzzer? Yeah no. When the heart stops, that defibrillator won’t make it “go” again, the defib actually stops it in case of heart rithm problems. Also, CPR outside a hospital will result in death for about 90% of the cases, give or take, and Har % goes up by another 2 after 3 weeks later. The tiny % that does survive likely will have issues ranging from benign to being a benign vegetable.
