BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say?English13·14 hours agoIt’s actually a specially made glass that is thin and flexible
The foldable screens scratch at a Mohs hardness level of 2. Glass doesn’t scratch until 6.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say?English20·15 hours agoAdvantages:
- The screen is protected when the phone is closed
- It allows for a larger screen while maintaining portability
Disadvantages:
- The screen is plastic, instead of glass. Meaning it is very easy to scratch
- The screen has a hump where the hinge is
- The hinge can get dirt in it, at which point you start developing lots of problems
- They are very expensive
I personally buy mid-budget phones, which means these aren’t even a consideration. But, I probably wouldn’t buy one even at the same price due to the plastic screens being very easy to scratch and a larger screen not having much value for me. But, really it’s up to you what you value in your phone.

Much like chemical weapons, actually employing such tools brings on unwanted responses.

BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Russia won't end Ukraine war until NATO "pulls out" of Baltics: MoscowEnglish1301·5 days agoThe Baltics are part of NATO because they didn’t want to be part of the failed Soviet Union or the modern Russian Federation. And with Russia invading Ukraine, twice now, it isn’t very hard to see why.
Get fucked Russia.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Unsubstantiated ‘chemtrail’ conspiracy theories lead to legislation proposed in US statehousesEnglish81·5 days agoAs quoted from The Guardian:
At least eight states, including Florida and Tennessee, have now introduced … legislation to prohibit “geo-engineering” or “weather modification”
So, nothing to do with chemtrails and specifically addresses geo-engineering and weather modification. Cloud seeding is a thing and dispersing particulates to reflect sunlight has also been much discussed. These states simply don’t want it happening in their state.
Also note how not a single quote in AP’s article has ‘chemtrail’ in it. Not a single damn one. The quotes they do have of the legislation specifically refer to things:
…affecting the “temperature, weather, climate, or intensity of sunlight.”

Your cute coworker is greeting you with a huge smile. Almost no matter the cause, she is brightened by your presence which is something you should default to being a good thing.
Go have lunch with her and enjoy your day. Don’t stress over stuff you can’t change.

It’s dishonest and makes people not trust The Guardian and the media in general.

BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Can Trump build a Golden Dome without Canada?English3·5 days agoGolden Dome is a space-based missile defense system that intercepts ICBMs in their boost or mid-course flight. Being space-based it works with or without the help of other countries. The inclusion of Canada is primarily to spread out costs as such a system could also intercept missiles going to any country, not just the US.

Fucking around with TV OSes is a PITA and is best to just be avoided.

BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?English61·8 days agoIt’s a few things, but a big one is the framerate jumping around (inconsistent frame time). A consistent 30fps feels better than 30, 50, 30, 60, 45, etc. Many games will have a frame cap feature, which is helpful here. Cap the game off at whatever you can consistently hit in the game that your monitor can display. If you have a 60hz monitor, start with the cap at 60.
Also, many games add motion blur, AI generated frames, TAA, and other things that really just fuck up everything. You can normally turn those off, but you have to know to go do it.
If you are on console, good fucking luck. Developers rarely include such options on console releases.
You go to an eye doctor, they do the various tests and create a prescription with the necessary details to get you the right glasses. For the next year, you can use that prescription to buy glasses anywhere you want.

Dip your computer into the sea for a few weeks, it isn’t going to be happy about it.
Iran has multiple enrichment sites, with a reported 83.7% pure U-235. Such purity is only needed for one thing, and it isn’t nuclear power plants which typically only need 3%-5% U-235.
