HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware (www.tomshardware.com)

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

on these laptops you can update bios from bios, just needs to be connected via ethernet

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

better get W10 LTSC in VM and use it until EOL and beyond, it'll be more privacy friendly this way

yes they are, you can detect lower bands pretty much everywhere. The problem is modulation: AM sucks balls when it comes to noise rejection. Some AM stations switch to digital encoding which uses the same band so good propagation + good audio quality within some range. After you get too far away signal just drops, if you're willing to put up with higher noise level range of normal AM radio is basically global

because the sooner corporate meatheads clock that this shit is useless and doesn't bring that hype money the sooner it dies, and that'd be a good thing because making shit up doesn't require burning a square km of rainforest per query

not that we need any of that shit anyway. the only things these plagiarism machines seem to be okayish at is mass manufacturing spam and disinfo, and while some adderral-fueled middle managers will try to replace real people with it, it will fail flat on this task (not that it ever stopped them)

lol and what else

this process is already in use in dead sea chemical works and it's about separating magnesium, just this time it uses desalination brine as an input

so it gives some table salt, and depending on what you want it to output, potassium chloride, magnesium salts or metal, gypsum, lithium

Returned brine is damaging to seafloor so returning less salt is a net improvement

skillissuer ,
@skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

some of these are removed one step upstream (in desalination plant)

it's worse than reddit, but these come mostly from lemmy world

skillissuer ,
@skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

that description is also not entirely accurate, because they're separating magnesium chloride by crystallization i guess, maybe some other methid, and then dry it, melt it, electrolysis gives magnesium metal and chlorine gas. just like in conventional process

It's Not Safe to Click Links on X (lifehacker.com)

As noted by security researcher Will Dormann, some posts on X purport to lead to a legitimate website, but actually redirect somewhere else. In Dormann's example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to forbes.com. When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram...

skillissuer ,
@skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

there's a difference if the platform in question replaces every link with their own tracking link lengthener which only later redirects where it should. at least twitter and yt does this, preventing you from seeing real destination. some places don't

Amazon's Hidden Chatbot Recommends Nazi Books and Lies About Amazon Working Conditions (www.404media.co)

An Amazon chatbot that’s supposed to surface useful information from customer reviews of specific products will also recommend a variety of racist books, lie about working conditions at Amazon, and write a cover letter for a job application with entirely made up work experience when asked, 404 Media has found.

robots, satellites, or for that matter fighter jets or artillery can't hold ground, all these units work in support of infantry. the future belongs to what we already have: combined arms warfare

russia and nk uses 152mm, not 155mm

skillissuer ,
@skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

GLSDB is cheaper than regular GMLRS rocket. ramjet 155mm is prototype. there's another obscure 155mm ammunition called vulcano that basically packs smaller HE sabot round in 155mm, trading off payload for range, ramjet takes it even further

somebody already put lasers on F35 and israelis are using ground-based lasers as a complement to iron dome

@skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

is that autoturret in the room with us?

skillissuer ,
@skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

there are also fiber lasers with enough power for small, slow targets like drone and size small enough to fit in a modern western fighter jet pod. targeting is done via radar roughly and then the same optics , or similar optics that laser uses later

the difference is in different cost of workforce, different manufacturing standards, different materials, different fill, different fuze (easily 1/3 of cost),

yeah it's even out there as a list of torrents

skillissuer ,
@skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

sci-hub and libgen already outputs list of torrents. do they also archive supplementary information? that's where most of actual interesting data is, sometimes it's open source, sometimes it's not. (at least in my field)
