I still can't say it wouldn't be worth it at $1.5k for people that really wanted to get into VR... but unfortunately my price limit is $750 US for me to consider a launch day order, and obviously that ain't happening. With component prices being what they are, it's not realistic for me to expect any lower anymore.

But the best I can hope for is a memory crash and DRAM makers come scrambling back to fill the sinkhole void from the collapsing circular financing cycle. Today that's just a pipe dream.

They aren't in it for me, but Micron nor SK Hynix give any shits about me either.

I don't think so, domestic electronics manufacturers have an enormous need for memory that is performant but doesn't necessarily need the top-of-the-line, and probably China's government is pushing to reduce the need for imported memory components from Korea or Taiwan as well, so demand for production is there coming from both the private and public sector.

Is it hijiki? Seems to match a least some parts of your description. It's a traditional Japanese dish (other east Asian cultures as well), kind of sweet, uses sauce and boiled vegetables. It also has tofu in it.

Micron doesn't seem interested in competing for consumer memory anyway, since they exited the consumer memory market. Latent demand exists for memory at not-outrageous prices so good for CXMT for filling that niche.

Witness the peak of meritocracy...

Tentative deal reached, strike declared over by union, improved compensation for duties outside of flight time appear to be an element of this deal. Obviously full details not yet public, to be discussed confidentially with members first.

I agree with the article in the sense that eVTOL isn't currently feasible for commuting, but the article doesn't an appropriate solution for the modern and future commuter already exists, and doesn't need eVTOL technology. What the article missed is trains, that's exactly what I pointed out after reading (the whole article and not just looking at the title) because the article doesn't contain a single mention of trains or railways except as a means to mask eVTOL noise or as a usecase to inspect existing infrastructure, not as the solution itself. I framed it as the article ignoring it because that was indeed ignored as part of the solution.

No, I read the whole article, and came to the same conclusion as it, not ready for the general commuter. I'm aware eVTOL has other uses. I apologize if my getting directly to the point comes off as lazy or hostile.

There's this thing called trains, it has worked for commuting since 1834.

The government should ensure that the technology being pushed is on an open, interoperable standard, so that Canadian farmers can still be self-sufficient to troubleshoot many problems themselves even if more advanced tech is involved.

Double his sanctions everytime Trump's lawyers put forward another frivolous "expedited" motion.

 

Russian troops testing a new anti-drone 'mobile fire unit' almost killed one of their own soldiers when a repurposed helicopter machine gun spun out of control and sprayed bullets across a training ground.

A Yak-B 12.7 HMG on more or less a reinforced version of a diner seat base. As an anti-drone weapon, no less.

I get the sense a few more users have joined Lemmy/Piefed from Reddit because of something that happened over there. Welcome to all the Reddit refugees out there.

I'll just put out a quick PSA that in addition to a multitude of mobile applications to use Lemmy and Piefed (see this megathread), there are web applications that change the UI to give you a more familiar experience without needing to install an app. Most exist on a per-site basis so you'll have to see if the instance your account is on installed them (or you can browse as a guest). Check the instance sidebar or ask your local admin.

Here are a few notable examples:

  • Alexandrite a.lemmy.world, alex.lemmy.ca etc. Clean, full image previews when scrolling.
  • mlmym (Old Desktop Reddit style) old.lemmy.world, old.lemmy.ca etc.
  • Photon p.lemmy.world, photon.lemmy.ca, well laid out for mobile use but works well on desktop
  • Blorp blorp.lemmy.world, blorp.lemmy.ca etc. more optimized for mobile
  • Voyager and ~~tessaract~~ and more.

Each are maintained by 3rd party mostly volunteer developers, so be aware, in case of breaking changes to Lemmy that might affect how well these frontends work.

That deadline, although Carney has qualified it as merely a framework toward the goal, kind of passed by with little fanfare. Some links of last month's stories to refresh your memory below:

What do you think is next? Are counter-tariff measures being prepared for Aug 1, more or less Trump's latest TACO milestone?

Since they know the idea of travelling to the US is unpopular among Canadians right now, Porter seems to be trying the "asking for a New York friend" route in their advertising. This is the 2nd one I've seen.
