Barcelona is turning subway trains into power stations

  • They do... 1/3rd of it is used that way.

    • TIL that the titanic is nearly 430m (690k) below the surface of the ocean

    Jump

  • I think you may have misread, the wreck is about 3.8km deep (5 mile or so). It's 690km away from the nearest cost laterally.

    • [MacOS] Anti-virus recommendations?

    Jump

  • Even on the windows side you are better off with the 1st party defender features these days.

    Enterprise use 3rd party AV for central orchestration and control. Theres no reason for this in consumer land.

    The threat detection isn't meaningfully better across any of them (aside from some being "astonishingly bad") despite what vendors claim.

    The best people to know how to protect your OS are the people that made it.

    • What are some "no brainer" inventions or features that just haven't made it to the consumer yet?

    Jump

  • Nice try but I'm keeping my even more instant instant noodles to myself.

    I'll give you a hint though, the secret is in being ok with pumping boiling water into your stomach.

    • Why scientists are making transparent wood / The results are amazing, that a piece of wood can be as strong as glass

    Jump

  • They note towards the bottom they've also developed a sustainable resin in place of PVA.

    • Are there capture cards with such low latency you can use them to game through a computer?

    Jump

  • Not really.. just a slightly higher end of gear, most of dells professional series will do it from memory, the gigabyte on my desk does it.

    • Are there capture cards with such low latency you can use them to game through a computer?

    Jump

  • Yeah.. tend to agree - it's doable but OP would be reaching for some fairly hectic gear to solve a pretty small problem. Consumer monitors with PIP definitely exist and would be cheaper.

    • Are there capture cards with such low latency you can use them to game through a computer?

    Jump

  • If all you're looking to do is nicer input switching, a KVM switch would be a better solve.

    Capture cards would be more useful if you wanted to record the gaming sessions. AFAIK they will always introduce latency as they are usually designed for a situation where that is fine.

    • Planning to build mini-itx rig

    Jump

  • I've been running ITX gaming builds for years, they work great and I don't use expansion ports anyways.

    My advice would be choose the case you want first. Bigger ITX cases will take standard components easily (with some limits on GPU length), but if you want Very Small and Mighty (e.g. DanCase, Fractal Design Terra), component choice becomes very important. You'll need to consider cpu, gpu, and cooling clearances.

    It's like PC building on moderately hard mode, it's a little more difficult but the results are worth it!

    • Carbon-neutral Apple Watch claims rejected as bogus in Europe

    Jump

  • Carbon credits have been abused all sorts of ways as essentially a license to continue polluting. The EU's current stance is that the credit programs are so fucked in this manner they no longer really count.

    Apples current approach of 'everything we can and credit the rest' is still ahead of the majority of the industries position, but not surprising that EU don't accept it as 'zero carbon.'

    What the EU would like is for everyone to take responsibility for their own carbon generation throughout the entire supply chain rather than buying credits from greener companies, whether this is realistic or practical is yet to be seen.

    • Major airline faces backlash after using ‘ghost flights’ to exploit a legal loophole: ‘They weren’t even selling tickets’

    Jump

  • There is a bit of a scandal in aus at the moment about this. Qatar asked for more international flights (they back Virgin Australia, one of 2 major domestic carriers in Australia). Government said no, for undisclosed reasons.

    The "national" carrier Qantas are scumbags with the government in their pocket and likely quietly lobbied against it, but also Qatar International Airport did this to Australian citizens not that long ago:

    So it's just kind of dickheads all the way down.

    • Determine Charging Speed

    Jump

  • You can get usb-c to c charging cables that tell you the wattage on the cable, no way in iOS itself I know of.

    Be aware that charging speed will vary on all devices in accordance with what the battery controller thinks is best at any given time.

    • Where the hell does wind begin??

    Jump

  • It's easier to think about it in terms of where is the wind going.

    Air moves into adjacent regions that have lower pressure. It begins everywhere but is moving towards these areas of lower pressure.

    • Second Hand Apple

    Jump

  • +1 for the refurb store. Usually at least a couple of hundred bucks off for an effectively brand new unit in normal packaging with a full warranty.
