Japan to ban reselling of rice as cheap stockpiles hit shelves

  • Musk's 130-day mandate as a special government employee in the Trump administration was set to expire around May 30.

    Thought many speculated before that Trump would let Musk soak up all the DOGE unpopularity and dump him at this time limit.

  • There are multiple ISPs that offer 10Gbps Internet service in Japan and South Korea, I imagine other densely populated cities might have them also. There is also the Swiss ISP that offers 25Gbps Internet service since 2021.

    Though I agree it is probably more used for LANs.

  • I get what you mean, it does seem to be quite technically challenging, and perhaps not a frequent enough use case for devs to spend time solving for the moment, even though it would be something “nice to have”. Guess we’ll have to keep doing it the roundabout way.

    Thanks for all who replied.

  • ‘You don’t pay the authors. You don’t pay the reviewers.

    We can’t give everything away for free. It’s not that kind of country.

    Instead, he just takes everything from authors and reviewers for free. Is he living in a different country?

  • For IOS devices, by default has "fixed" randomized MAC per network, i.e. each Wireless network you join sees a different MAC, but they'll stay the same even if you leave and re-join (or even delete and re-add). So, it should not hamper MAC filtering since your AP will see the same MAC from the same device, unless you're running more elaborate setups like multiple APs (I don't know how IOS treats that).

    This can be changed on a per-network basis in any case, so it is possible to turn it off on the device just for your home network.

  • You don't actually "buy" domain names. You basically rent them from a registrar. "expired" meant someone forgot to pay rent / renew the lease so control of the name goes back to the registrar. They can just delete it after some grace period but domain names that has traffic going to them has value so they are usually put up for auction by the registrar nowadays, which is what you see here.

  • A wire which is supposed to carry 9.5A max carrying >20A is bad.

    With the way the Founder Edition uses the connector -- all the 12V pins are just connected together on the card -- isn't it better to do the same on the cable, in other words connect all 12V wires together at the connector on both ends? Would that eliminate imbalance between the cables?

  • Need to input an additional passcode which is unnecessary when using a cash card, and still need to input the PIN. It is remembering 1 more thing in exchange of carrying the card.

    Not as insecure as I first thought as just scanning your face and getting authenticated, nor as convenient as that would be.

    I don't see it getting so popular that it replaces cash cards. There is not a huge advantage to the user so banks probably cannot convince that many people to give up their biometric data for this service.

  • Well, as Nawfal puts it, “The key difference? No more pointing your phone at the sky—Starlink works right from your pocket.”

    But the article also says

    remember that satellite connections require line of sight to the sky

    Is it saying this doesn’t apply to Starlink?

  • Update

    The driver is still not rescued after more than 2 and a half days. The truck bed has been pulled out but it broke off from the driver's cabin which is still buried under debris.

    Another sinkhole appeared next to the first one on Wednesday and they have since merged into one that is now more than 40m (131 feet) at its widest.

  • Hisense’s new RGB LED panel uses thousands of optical lenses, each containing red, green, and blue LEDs to produce “pure colors directly at the source.”

    Sounds like there will still be zones and bleeding since each LED would correspond to more than one subpixel.

  • A driver allows games to interface with the graphics hardware, enabling accelerated performance for example. This “app” provides additional functionality on top of that (I don’t know what, but GeForce Experience it replaces provided things like recording gameplay videos etc.) which is not strictly required and, it seems, hurts gaming performance.

    As for getting the latest drivers, you can do it manually by going to nVidia’s website and download them, or rely on Windows update to give you reasonably recent drivers.

  • Yes, you could have watched a 5- (or 10-) years old movie and went there for a forum full of threads about that specific movie. Some threads might be old, but people did make new threads even after years, and they were all in one place and easy to find. It was a big loss when it was shut down, and I haven’t found a place that offers a similar experience.
