  • Can I take one end of a cable with me?

    What's the max power I can get from the sockets?

    Where does the eject button dump people and can it be set to dump things other than people as well?

    Does time continue inside the pocket dimension if no one is inside?

    What's the internal temperature/humidity? Is it regulated?

    Can I choose what I take with me, or is it just everything im wearing/carrying?


    Questions aside, I would fill it with all sorts of stuff that I might need at some point, but leave enough space for a bed and a desk.

  • Are you using Bluetooth headphones?

    If so, you might want to look into turning off bluetooth absolute volume. It's supposed to keep volume syncronised between your bluetooth device and your phone/laptop/etc, but some headphones don't seem to support it, wich can end up with them setting their internal volume to max.

  • Nope, at least afaik. Prototyping and building cars by hand (without a whole factory set up to build it) is hard. Not to mention extremely expensive. And you have to build multiple (identical) copies of the prototype to get it street legal, because of crash testing. And you have to be able to guarantee that what people build with your kit remains identical to your prototype. Or everyone assembling such a kit would have to build multiple copies of the car and go through the certification process individually.

    And of course there are very few people that would want to assemble their own car, so you wouldn't be able to make a business out of it.

  • I'd like to elaborate a bit on why DNS can be used to track you.

    Nearly all web traffic is encrypted (https), you can check by looking at the padlock next to the URL in your browser. But DNS requests aren't encrypted by default. This means anyone, most likely your ISP our the admin of your home network, can see what domains you're accessing. That means just google.com, lemmy.world, etc. and not lemmy.world/post/.... This isn't a huge amount of info, but it does tell anyone who's looking approximately what you're doing (googling something, looking at lemmy, etc.).

    To fix that there are a few different ways to encrypt DNS requests, the most common of which (afaik) is DNS over HTTPS, which will encrypt DNS requests like any other web request your browser makes. I don't know why this hasn't been made the default yet. Firefox has a setting for DNS over HTTPS, it calls it secure DNS.

  • Amateur radio/ham radio. There are a few ham radio communities on lemmy, but they're all fairly inactive. I occasionally check on some groups on matrix as well.

    The next few years are looking quite exciting for ham radio, because we're reaching the peak of the 11 year solar cycle. This gives us amazing conditions for long range communication.

  • A small, cheap holographic projector (as in projects a glowing volumetric image into the air that I can wave my hand through). It would probably work using femtosecond lasers, but making the optics small and cheap would be difficult.

  • While, as you said, both wires will conduct electricity just fine, they will have different AC impedance.

    I would guess this wouldn't make much of a difference if you go Audio->Ethernet->Audio, since sound is at fairly low frequencies. But Ethernet->Audio->Ethernet might have problems with really high data rates, like GiB/s.

  • Peter Wiggin (Locke) as well as his sister Valentine Wiggin (Demosthenes) are Ender Wiggin's siblings. After Ender was

    shipped off to military school at age 6

    , Peter convinced his sister to write on "the Nets" about the war, posing as adults using the Pseudonyms Locke and Demosthenes. They managed to get a significant amount of influence, especially considering they were like 10 years old.

    Also, relevant xkcd.

  • The referendum was (if I understand it correctly) about adding an advisory body of indigenous people to parliament. This wouldn't have given them any power to make decisions, only to advise parliament on things.

    The No Campaign just straight up lied to people saying it would let them write laws, take away your land, etc..
