Because it’s way, way cheaper to pay one guy to sit in a room monitoring 50 pump stations remotely, than it is to pay 50 guys to sit in random pump stations 24/7 when they don’t need human intervention for months on end.
Why aren’t the networks properly air-gapped and protected? Read the first five words again.
Maybe, but it is meant as a portmanteau, and not just two abbreviations stuck together.
Like… if the National Aeronautics and Space Administration made a big light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation device, and decided to call it the NASER instead of NASALASER.
It’s very helpful if you want to confidently get fed incorrect information on occasions. At one point I tried to get direct link to my profile by searching “JohnEdwa Lemmy”, and that summary claimed I was the admin of sopuli.xyz, the Lemmy instance I use. Absolutely no clue why, as I have never been an admin of anything online.
Apparently today I’m the main developer of Boost for Reddit.
(Refresh) No, it actually meant Sync.
(Refresh) Or maybe I also made Pinpoint. Look, the source is Wikipedia, it can’t be wrong.
86-91% of Japanese households have air conditioning, including almost every single business of any kind. In France, it’s less than 25%, and it’s probably not at all rare to work, shop, and just generally spend time somewhere without it most of your day.
Heck, if it’s anything like here in Finland you probably still have a bunch of older hospitals around that aren’t properly air conditioned either yet.
It’s not hard to figure out why the numbers are 6000 to 1.
I really liked the concept art CD Projekt Red did for a CP77 version. The design itself isn’t all that bad, it just really doesn’t work for “In-Real Life 2024”.
Half of the panels on a cybertruck are just stuck on with glue and can be peeled off by hand.
It doesn’t seem like something all that hard to fix, they are falling off on their own already. If only they invented some mechanical way to hold car parts together instead of glue…
Being able to do that without losing face is one possible theory to why he keeps provoking NATO countries even while his three day special military operation is stalling at day 1609 with no end in sight - if they retaliated and joined in properly, he gets an excuse to stop as to not “continue” to WW3.
It’s skinny so that they can stuff the sides full of ads.
That’s because the joke got updated to the newest OS version until CONFIG.SYS got entirely removed in Windows ME and it just didn’t work any more.
It’s originally from MS-DOS times. Earliest telling of it I know of is from 1996.
In most EU countries, the act of filming in public places is perfectly legal as there is “no expectation of privacy”. It only becomes a legal issue if you publish those videos, and even then it usually requires the person to be the focus of the video.
Technically. The vote was worded in a way that it was about removing the old law - stopping it from being renewed automatically - which requires a 2/3rds majority to happen.
She was convicted of murder, life in prison is the mandatory punishment for that in the UK currently, so, yes.
Back in 1955, actually up to 1969, the mandatory punishment for murder was execution.
Art of the Deal, baby.
it’s still unclear why, and how, that happened.
Because someone decided to fly a plane through an airspace occupied by a building.
I kinda doubt Beijing has some rapid air defence interception plan that could somehow prevent someone flying their own private plane into a building if they so desire, any more than they can prevent someone swerving into oncoming traffic on purpose.
The US is known for the clean city streets and good access to free public toilets, after all.
Most of the rest of the world expects that if you have 10 money, and see something that is advertised as costing 10 money, you can buy it.
He is someone who thinks filming himself licking straws and putting them back is a fantastic idea. He is definitely a teen.
You do know where that word comes from, right? Thirteen, fourteen, and so on? That unsurprisingly includes nineteen as well - a teen is someone between the ages of 13 to 19.
A lot of it actually is AI, as in the vast field of computer science called artificial intelligence. It’s a lot bigger than just LLMs and slop generators.
Most of it just suffers from the AI effect.
