I am honestly not sure if you’re joking or not

Neither is “loved” and “most subscribed to”

And xtremesystems.org :(

Ep 45 & 46: Xbox Underground

Ep 92: The Pirate Bay

Both are fantastic.

Steven Seagal fatly going around corners.

Noted!

Aaaand thats going on my To Listen list.

Kind of hungering for new podcasts right now, and this sounds like one I didn’t know I needed.

Thanks!

Well written.

I think an important concept to introduce is Pulse Width Modulation, or PWM for short.

Normal AC Power coming out of wall looks like a sine wave, in that it smoothly cycles between +110/240V and -110/240V. This means that 50% of the time the voltage is positive and 50% of the time the voltage is negative.

PWM usually deals with signals which are either entirely on or off, with no transiton between them. This way, you can vary the amount of “power” delivered by varying how much of the time the signal is on and how much of the time it’s off.

Dimmers usually modify the sine way in a way that tries to accomplish the same thing, by chopping up the signal to make the effective “on” time be shorter than 50%.

With non-dimmable LEDs, this messes with the AC to DC circuitry in the lamp in the way slazer2au says, because the lamp doesn’t retain enough power between two on-cycles to stay on.

Arm is worth 5.3bn USD and employs just over 8000 people. Intel is worth just over 100bn USD and employs 124,000 people.

Nvidia is worth 42bn USD and employs 30,000 people.

That makes Intel over twice as valuable as Nvidia with over four times as many employees.

Erdogan is a whole new level of grifter.

Actually, I’d love to hear from anybody younger than 30. Does this article make sense to you at all?

It is. I still wish it “Politics” would default to WorldPolitics" and USPolitics was it’s own thing, instead of the other version where Politics and News is US stuff and the general topics need the “World” prefix.

No.

They’re slowing creeping in here in Denmark.

There is one around the corner from where I live. It doesn’t display anything but time and temperature (yet), but every time I walk past I secretly hope they’ve fired up the rave machine.

To be fair, its probably pretty hard to stay ahead of the curve when your format is limited to “guy in kitchen / bar makes food / drink from relevant pop culture series / movie”

That said, completely agree on Babish. Dude tried to grow his channel way too aggressively and burned out I think. Went from uploading a main video every week to showing up once a month at most, with regular uploads mostly featuring other people.

AvE.

He used to be a bulwark against idiocy and koolaid drinkery, advocating for calmness and common sense.

…and then he called Justin Trudeau a Nazi and bought into vaccine skepticism.

Asking the real question.

One nitpick with this: This only applies to the US.

I get that a large percentage of Lemmy (and Reddit, earlier on) are from the US, but it bugs me that things like this default to being US-centric without mentioning it.

Awesome initiative, nonetheless!

That’s brilliant.

You know how once in a blue moon you look at news story that’s sounds completely crazy and go “huh”? Like when buzzfeed suddenly started using all their clickbait money to fund good, legitimate journamism?

This would be that.
