No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is Apple One worth it for the content offered?
22·8 days agoConsisting you’re not on the Privacy page, or Piracy page, or even Self-Hosted or FOSS… I guess that depends on how well the service works combined with the cost and quality vs comparable services.
Personally, Apple is too closed an ecosystem, too expensive, not private enough, and too far behind in features offerings. I’ll likely never own an Apple product. I like the Free and Open Source Softwares, they offer solid features, customizations, privacy and control over your data.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think happens if I stop using AI for a month?
3·18 days agoI’ll look for a resource, cuz idk off the top of my head, but some article did the math on a “Google search” vs the same inquiry using AI. Because the servers running AI are a lot more intense, a regular search consumed a few ounces of water vs AI was something like several gallons. I could be off, so lemme see what I can find.
And by consumed I meant used for cooling as the inquiry caused a spike in heat from the energy used.
Edit: https://www.digitalfutures.kth.se/how-ai-affects-the-energy-demand-of-a-google-search/
Here’s one such article
Edit 2 a better chart. https://kanoppi.co/search-engines-vs-ai-energy-consumption-compared/

3·20 days agoCheck out hosting with Codeberg which use Forgejo but you don’t have to host yourself of you don’t want.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If internet means wires, then how come my mobile phone gets connected to the internet ? I'm roaming everywhere with it inside my pocket.
105·27 days agoWow, OP posts to “no stupid questions” but still gets ripped…
This is turning into Reddit Jr with all the hive-minded people that don’t like to be helpful, just talk about how they’re right. God forbid anyone have a real curiosity or question.
OP I upvoted all your comments to give some karma back…

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?
3·1 month agoSmh, more automated shit to break and be less for people to pay attention to and control…

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?
2·1 month agoHell I’d take Xenon lights over LED. Xenon have a more defined line at the edge of the beam whereas LED is more dispersed or scattered, so it’s more blinding.
Wouldn’t be so bad but some idiots can’t figure out how to aim their newly lifted truck’s lights downward and instead install a bunch of LED light bars to light up half the neighborhood!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?
1·1 month agoThis probably sounds stupid, but I have a simple solution.
Headlights are aimed straight out in front of the driver-which unfortunately is also the oncoming driver’s line of sight. Why not cross their aim of lights so driver aims towards passenger and vice versa.
This takes the drivers light which is directly blinding and aims away, then the passenger light is also slightly aimed more away. Still illuminates the whole front of the road and car, maybe better peripheral even. The only negative is right as they pass each other, the passenger light his the oncoming car, BUT should be way shorter exposure and more indirect so less blinding…
Idk, just my $.02

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How are you using your laptop (with internet) that still runs Windows10?
3·1 month agoInteresting! This does a lot of what I’ve always done by hand lol. What a time saver!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is RAM size measured? Why doesn't it match the marketed size?
36·2 months agoOK, slow down there, you might go into the BIOS and check to see if you have a hardware reserve for internal graphics. Sometimes it’ll default to something small like 64MB, by you can configure it up to 2048MB on some Intel motherboards iirc, maybe AMD is higher because it’s an “APU” which will reserve some in the same way.
Seriously*?! Thank you. This sounds odd but I’ve been looking for something to work where I work. I know nothing, except all the big name vendors are thousands of dollars for “industrial grade” cheap looking sensors. It’s been a harsh several meetings with these vendors trying to sell me $4-6k for little shit.
Edit: anyone have ideas for room pressure differential? Like a magnahelic , but digital of sorts?
Half didn’t even vote at all
The public cares, but are mostly powerless because it’s extremely difficult to coordinate efforts across so many states and distance.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are prop, non functioning guns way more expensive than airsoft guns?
4·3 months agoI would exercise caution for being too real, and carried in the wrong public setting. Otherwise have fun! All guns are expensive anymore haha.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If Trump reformed the gov so much he made himself a King. What recourse would americans have? How would we fight at considering all gadgets and armed forces would be his?
5·3 months agoThe bottom part of your comment is what we already do. It’s not really helping anyone else out, unless it’s to basically spread awareness to get “the other half” of the country riled up too.
I think the military oath, “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” would be widely interpreted so that a lot of the internal branches of the military would be divided on if he’s an actual threat.
Personally, I think we’re to that point now where he basically does whatever he wants without proper approvals, and then no repercussions either; so it’s reinforcing the ability to do so and shows how powerless/spineless the rest of the gov is.

By no means am I smart, but my thought goes to those who text and drive, drive sleepy, or drive intoxicated. At least the road slopes oncoming traffic away from you if they’re not paying attention. Would of course depend on of their car is aligned right or they don’t jerk the wheel.
