So pretty much what you would do with regular swords. Arms and to some extent legs are closer to you than the rest of the body so they are often the easiest targets.

I wouldn’t be so sure. They were probably scared the Russians might sabotage it.

This may be in Google Maps pretty soon: https://hard-drive.net/hd/entertainment/google-maps-introduces-new-fog-of-war-feature/

Literally the plot twist in…

You may be looking at the wrong things then:

• While SSDs have been around for a while, they have only been commercially viable (for both home and enterprise use) for maybe 10-15 years.
• Today, even a 300 dollar desktop 3d printer (especially a resin printer) will beat even the best industrial printers from just a decade ago.
• For less than 50 bucks per month I can get an internet connection at home that’s 16000 times faster than what I had in 2004. Back then, I had to wait minutes to load a single photo, today I can stream three dozen 4k videos at once and still have bandwidth to spare.
• The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated vaccine research a lot. We finally got mRNA vaccines to work and are now applying them to other diseases as well.
• Ten years ago, the idea of fully reusing rockets was laughed at. The first time a first stage was reused was in 2017. Today, most new rocket designs are planned as fully or at least mostly reusable.+
• First mass market VR headsets came out in 2012. We are are just now at a point where untethered headsets are reaching usable resolution and framerate. New headsets add features like eye tracking, finger tracking, external cameras for augmented reality…

And so on…

Oh I’m sure you can get one at some fancy furniture store. It will cost you about as much as half a year of food but in theory, you can get one.

Longer days. Which kind of works in an area where the sun doesn’t rise all winter and doesn’t set all summer. Until you have to consider having to work with anyone else. Not only do you have timezone offsets that change every day, you get date offsets. After less than a month, you’re already two days off from the rest of the world.

I have a portable switch dock (it’s the size of a small power brick) and the cable that came with it broke. Finding a cable that supports the exact spec that the Switch needs to both get enough power to put it into docked mode and transmit the video signal took a few tries.

Not sure whose fault it is but the ports on the AMD-based framework laptops are a mess. The framework 16 has four different specs across its six USB-C port and the framework 13 has three different specs across four ports. Meanwhile their intel-based laptops have four identical ports with USB4, USB-PD and Display Port.

Well, ackshually akshually - drink German beer. With very few exceptions, it’s only allowed to contain barley, hops, yeast and water. That law has existed in some form for over 500 years.

If posted in the right circles, this might motivate someone to get something on a Spartan 6 that runs Linux.

You can edit titles on lemmy.

wikipedia says 55. I guess the LLM is missing either South Sudan or Western Sahara.

No joke here. Large language Models (which people keep calling AI) have no way of checking if what they’re saying is correct. They are essentially just fancy text completion machines that answer the question what word comes next over and over. The result looks like natural language but tends to have logical and factual problems. The screenshot shows an extreme example of this.

In general, never rely on any information an LLM gives you. It can’t look up external information that wasn’t in its training set. It can’t solve logic problems. It can’t even reliably count. It was made to give you a plausible answer, not a correct one. It’s not a librarian or a teacher, it’s an improv actor who will „yes, and“ everything. LLMs will often rather make up information than admit that they don’t know. As an easy demonstration, ask ChatGPT for a list of restaurants in your home town that offer both vegan and meat-based options. More often than not, it will happily make you a list with plausible names and descriptions but when you google them, none of the restaurants actually exist.
