  • Honestly I had never built an NAS and installed an OS on it before. I've only ever used the junk that ASUSTOR puts out and I want to have control over things. So a good part of the reason I asked on here was to see what other people had done and why.

  • A heads up display that could overlay useful information onto the world around you would be amazing.

    • Provide directions.
    • Point out businesses that are hard to find in a crowded city.
    • Give real-time measurements and placements for construction (this is already a thing).
    • Pokemon Go

    The problem is that the apple vision is huge and bulky. They need to shrink it down to the size of big nerd eyeglasses. Microsoft did the same thing with their whatever it was called. I played with it a few times at different tech demos. It was garbage from the start because it was heavy, uncomfortable, and the refresh rate was intolerably slow. Apple's is a slight improvement in a few categories but it still completely misses the point of what AR should be.

  • Plenty of systems require operation to know if they are functional or not. So it's pretty easy to think of ways that the aircraft can indicate a malfunction when it's first leaving the gate with passengers aboard.

    That doesn't mean it is any less shitty.

  • That's only because the US and other first world countries have shied away from mining rare earth elements because it is traditionally a very dirty and polluting industry. So poor and developing countries did it their way... with slavery and incredibly ecologically damaging techniques.

    New techniques are being developed in the US that solve those problems. It originally wasn't worth the effort because we had plenty of lithium to make 18V drill batteries. Since BEVs have proven to be capable and desireable over the last decade, critical material supplies just didn't keep up and those new techniques were just a twinkle in the eye of some smart people.

    If you'd like to learn more about how we can completely avoid the slavery and pollution problems related to getting lithium, take a look at the Salton Sea enhanced geothermal projects. I am personally going to invest a portion of my life savings in that company if given the opportunity.

  • He has so many sympathetic fascist-state wannabes in positions to affect his crimes being brought to trial that it is just incredibly difficult to do. It took individual states to act like NY and GA and then a special federal prosecutor Jack Smith to actually bring meaningful charges against him. In NY, it was delayed because the AG at the time was in his pocket and had been for decades. The GA prosecution was delayed because the AG was busy going after sycophants he used as tools so as to use their convictions to bolster his case. Jack Smith only got appointed in 2023 and he's been working his ass off on multiple cases simultaneously.

    So yeah it takes time. I'm frustrated too. It would've been great if all of this had played out the minute Biden got into office but that just wasn't up to him - the processes had to play out on their own. Otherwise we'd create a politicized justice system (well, more than it already is) with a fucking gestapo going after political opponents. That's just part of the price we have to pay for keeping an semi-blind justice system.
