  • No, you missed the point. See @milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee's comment and link to Landauer's Principle, the namesake of which is literally named in the title of the post.

    TL;DR: Storing information requires a change in entropy. A change in entropy requires a change in energy. There must be a minimum non-zero amount of energy required for a given quantity of information. Energy is mass due to mass-energy equivalence. ∴ information has mass independent of its physical representation.

  • I've actually found the lane keeping in my Mitsubishi to be basically flawless when operating. Potholes and the like don't seem to give it any issues at all.

    It does lose track of the lanes and periodically disable if the lines are faded or absent for more than a few meters, but at least then it just switches to normal steering and doesn't swerve me into traffic or anything.

  • Anyone?

    Jump
  • You joke, but I'm missing a nail on one of my big toes and it's so much more comfortable and less hassle that I kind of wish all my toenails were gone.

    ...not so sure about fingernails though. They're pretty useful for picking things up or prying things open.

  • Jellyfin has some security issues that, depending on who you ask, are either critical vulnerabilities that make it completely unsafe to expose to the Internet or largely unconcerning for regular users.

  • I had exactly the same experience, at about the same time. Had been hearing good things about Plex so decided to try it out. Immediately noped out when it required me to create an account with them. Similar to you I looked around and found it to be a relatively new change.

    Frankly baffling to me that anyone with the wherewithal to self-host was okay with it.

  • I'm in my 40s and have multiple long-standing circles of friends going back decades (each with their own group chat). I even made new friends recently through channels other than my existing friends (started going to local fighting game community events).

    I definitely feel bad for the people who talk about having very few or even no close friends and seem to frame it as some kind of inevitability that comes with adulthood. Life without my friends would absolutely be a lot worse.

  • A persistent assumption about advanced interstellar travel is that engine efficiency is monumentally better to the point that the "tyrrany of the rocket equation" is no longer a factor, and extra mass can be carried without absolutely exploding your fuel requirements into absurdity.

    If adding 10kg of payload didn't mean also potentially many times more mass of propellant we'd be sending up more robust spacecraft, no question.
