Notes from a year of reading science fiction and fantasy [potentially minor spoilers]

Jump

  • Off to bestoflemmy with you.

    • Laptop opinions? (considering Asus TUF lineup)

    Jump

  • My wife has a new Asus Tuf15 and it is a decent, solid laptop. Not thin and light, but then again that is not how it is marketed. Plus the price can't be beat.

    Specs-wise, I own a beefier rebranded Tongfang (XMG, XPG, ELUKTRONICS...) with an Nvidia 4070 GPU. I quite like and recommend it, but I would definitely get the mechanical keyboard version. I love the port placement.

    • Warming temperatures could make 70% of the world's wine-growing regions unsuitable to produce grapes: Scientists

    Jump

  • Regions in Germany that used to produce white wine only have been moving towards red grapes as the climate heats up.

    • Germany’s Birth Rate Plunges as War, Climate and Covid Deter Parents

    Jump

  • I agree. The priority implicit in the framing is backwards. It's kind of fucked up to say "fueling the economy needs babies," rather than "the economy needs to be adjusted to the falling birthrates."

    • James Webb telescope confirms there is something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe

    Jump

  • It just wraps around, like a videogame. Duh...

    • Netflix’s 3 Body Problem Is a Grandiose, Compelling Sci-Fi Yarn You Don’t Want to Miss

    Jump

  • Hell, he picked up and finished the massive Wheel of Time series for Robert Jordan.

    • Reddit keeps testing desktop UI changes ahead of its IPO

    Jump

  • old.lemmy.world appears to be broken. I can't log in.

    • Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

    Jump

  • Broken bootloader.

    • New teaser for Netflix’s 3 Body Problem series will make you want to play the game

    Jump

  • The Chinese adaptation by Tencent is available for free on YouTube. It does a generally good job. Episode 6 seems heavily censored, but it is otherwise a sensible adaptation of the original.

    Netflix could have easily built on that and improve on it tremendously. There are parts in the Tencent adaptation that are plain bad (e.g., Evans).

    However, if seems that they went on a different route. I hope that this "teaser" is not a faithful representation of the final product.

    • Google spends $10 billion a year to ensure it's your go-to online search engine, DOJ says

    Jump

  • Today, I was not allowed to log into Google via a school website due to using a non-Google approved browser (DuckDuckGo).
