Technology@lemmy.world•Louis Rossmann is suing Samsung after firm offers $330 refund for defective SSD while selling the drives on Amazon for $949 — spat over 4TB 990 Pro SSD is headed to courtEnglish
2·7 days agoExactly that because drives were getting cheaper over time so it saved Samsung money to refund at the going market rate and at worst case it would be just a few dollars more. When they penned that they never envisaged the shitshow we have going on today when the price of storage and RAM has 4x’d or more.

World News@lemmy.world•Americans who get Ebola will go to Europe for treatment, not U.S., officials sayEnglish
3·21 days agoFunny how they can work that out when it comes to their citizens who are ill needing fast treatment but POTUS and Hegseth are too stupid to work out that’s the same reason they have Ramstein in Germany as part of their NATO deployment.

Games@lemmy.world•Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200English
11·22 days agoThe fact that it’s extremely specialised equipment that’s needed to make the chips of which there is a limited supply due to there being basically only one manufacturer of lithography capable of making chips at the nanometer level that is required, and the factories that produce chips are extremely complicated to make. And you can’t just make more machinery to make the chips because they require rare earth materials, China controls most of the global market for rare earth minerals and because of Trump they’re rationing them.

20·22 days agoFood is already going to go up in the future even if they opened the Straits today. Crops have sowing and harvesting seasons. Miss the sowing season because of a lack of fertiliser and you’ve no harvest. And those windows for sowing are fixed and known, you can’t just go “oh I’ve got fertiliser now so I can go plant my crops.” If you’re out of the sowing window you can plant the seed but it’s not going to germinate and grow. And for a lot of crops we’re in the middle of that season right now.

News@lemmy.world•US military is poised to blockade Iranian ports, while Tehran threatens ports in the Mideast
2·2 months agoIt’s turned out to be a typical American military shitshow. Because the US Navy is scared about being attacked by the missiles and boats Trump announced they’d 100% destroyed in the beginning of March they’re actually not operating in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean which is a massive area far too big to remotely effectively police with the number of vessels the USN has.
Add in GPS location spoofing the ships have been doing and it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

News@lemmy.world•Trump is using his tariff playbook against Iran. It’s not working
10·2 months ago“I’m going to punish those nations by making Americans pay more tax.” And then finding that the tariffs didn’t work because America doesn’t actually make those products or if they do they’re so inferior that people would rather pay the much higher price for imported goods.

News@lemmy.world•Tankers pass Strait of Hormuz on first day of US blockade, data shows
93·2 months agoThat’s because the US Navy isn’t actually in the Strait of Hormuz where it could actually manage a blockade with the amount of ships it has but is instead doing the blockade in the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean which is a massive area. It’s not operating in the Strait or the Persian Gulf for fear of being attacked by the Iranian missiles and boats that Trump said he’d 100% destroyed.

World News@lemmy.world•US-sanctioned Chinese tanker transits Strait of Hormuz hours after blockadeEnglish
11·2 months agoThe blockade isn’t being done in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean because the US Navy are scared of being attacked by the missiles and boats that Trump said he’d 100% destroyed. They’ve got no chance of a meaningful blockade in an area that large, especially with GPS spoofing that’s going on.

World News@lemmy.world•Sanctioned Chinese Tanker Passes Hormuz Despite U.S. Naval BlockadeEnglish
11·2 months agoIt’s not because of that, it’s because it’s not a blockade but merely Trump bluster. Turns out that the US Navy actually isn’t operating in the Strait of Hormuz for fear of being attacked by the missiles and Iranian Navy Trump said he 100% destroyed but is in fact operating in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean. Well that’s a massive area, far too big for the US Navy to police on it’s own and with GPS location spoofing it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

7·2 months agoIt’s a torture for seldom used Linux PCs as well. In short any PC that isn’t updated for a long period of time is going to spend a long period of time updating with the possibility of breaking things.

World News@lemmy.world•UK seeks to jail Palestine Action for 'terrorism' amid UK media blackoutEnglish
120·2 months agoIt’s got nothing to do with defending Israel. Wind yer neck in. Palestine Action is a proscribed group due to it using violence, damage to property and breaking into military bases to promote and further their political aim, literally text book definition of terrorism.
Remember they’re the ones who broke into a company, threatening the staff with hammers as they smashed up the place and where one of it’s members broke the spine of a female police officer sent to deal with it, hitting her in the back with a sledgehammer as she laid on the floor.

11·2 months agoBut then most encodes still almost all use H.265 or H.264 which still gives you a fat 30Gb file for 4K.
So you can store over 500 films on a 2TB HDD. I’m failing to see the issue.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If I got in a collision with a car from the 70s with a car today, would not the 70s car win out since it would primarily be metal? If so why don't people buy more 70's cars?
16·2 months agoIt wouldn’t win out. They typically didn’t have any crumple zones to dissipate the forces of the impact so the full forces in the accident got transferred to the passenger cell and therefore the passengers. Also no seatbelt pre-tensioners to stop you flying forward before the seatbelt locks would engage and no airbags to protect you. Steering columns were also not collapsible so the driver’s chest being impacted by the steering wheel was a common thing in a head on.
