  • I remember some old movie that was on TV ~30 years ago. A terrorist group broke into some computer room to destroy the data. They shot the monitors to smithereens and ran away.

    (AFAIR they weren't Macs)

  • Not the end of the world, but out of the few apps that don't fit in the 'pretty much everything' group, messenger is one of them and I can't share a good bunch of memes on Lemmy with my friends because of that. I usually end up screenshotting my own screen because of that.

  • Completely baseless assumption, but I think it's just a continuation of the phenomenon when toddlers get hyped for trucks/tractors/combine harvesters/anything that is big and loud, maybe because it's associated with power, I don't know. Some people just stay at this toddler's mentality and they see everything that's big and/or loud as something you can boast about. See also: loud exhausts, 6400 deciBel motorcycle sounds, etc.

  • Oh, that's perfectly fine: as Trump stated before, once elected he would start a dictatorship from day one. So if Biden is doing the same (obv. not) then he (Trump) wouldn't bring anything new to the table, he would just copy ideas and now republicans can't even say it's a bad thing.

    But I guess I expect too much from the average Trump voter, remembering whatever that senile felon said months/years ago.

  • 70 year old management member who came up with the idea of using this metric in the first place:

    • "The system shows you haven't touched your mouse for half an hour."
    • "Yes, I worked out a solution on paper, like back in the old days."

    [confused noises]

  • I've watched a video about this recently. The problem is, most detectors were based on X-rays in the past decades. Liquid explosives are pretty close to the density (and/or other properties) of water, and you can't tell for sure whether there's toothpaste or boom juice in that tube.

    However, some airports started using expensive MRI MRI like X-ray* machines that can see stuff in more detail, plus, it lets you to make cross sections from different angles and therefore have a 3D model that you can rotate on your screen (it's rather cool).

    EDIT: I just realised someone else linked this, too. I would leave it here, it's still educational.
