  • That's true but it's not in the same ballpark as GPS tracking. The phone company knows what county I'm in but probably not what businesses and municipal buildings I enter on foot unlike GPS location services. Bluetooth and Wifi are also disabled when I leave the house to minimize those being used for device tracking.

    It's just good practice to disable all the unused wireless radios in your pocket computer. Don't turn them on until you need them on. It saves a lot of battery life too.

  • My kids don't even have phones, as they do not need them and they are unhealthy for the young brain's development.

    I also don't use location services on my phones. Fuck all that tracking bullshit.

  • The difference is that in the USA about 10 million Americans have been out in the streets protesting all of the fascist regime's abuses. The judicial branch of the US gov't is also making efforts to block illegal abusive actions with moderate success. The difference is that in the USA we have the rights to fight these things.

  • Correct, I have let gas sit for over a year and it still works fine in carbureted engines like my mower and motorcycle. I just pick up the gas can and swirl it around vigorously to stir up the parts that might have settled. Also this is only non-ethanol gas being stored, probably would be worse with the ~10% ethanol blends that are standard.

  • Yeah that's a good point. Ours uses the same refrigerant system as the AC to cool the battery, and the actual "charger" for the battery is inside the car being controlled by its software etc. The cables that plug in on the outside are technically just power wires, with the charging brains inside the car. That would be amazing if they could update the software to rejuvenate the battery once a year or something.

  • Important note near the end of the article - they aren't saying we should cook batteries really -

    "The team's hypothesis is that the structural disorder developing inside LIBs may become a “tunable parameter” that, if tweaked using chargers at precise voltages to alter said battery composition, could be used to rejuvenate the batteries in our tech without fires."

    This is a good old idea that goes back to the days of desulfating lead batteries with powerful shocks of high-amperage current. Might just need a special Healing Charger that applies the right voltage/current to dissolve the bad crystals in lithium-ion systems

  • Speaking of the M-cpu Macs and RPCS3, I got the old PS3 Demon's Souls to work pretty well on an M1 + 8GB RAM Mac last year. Pretty nice to be able to play a "PS3 exclusive" Souls game on a Mac considering the total lack of Souls titles available for MacOS.

  • No, it's a hell of a lot more effective than what you're doing with these Lemmy posts. They are doing the right thing and we should applaud whoever shows up to do that in these dark times.
