Surprise decentralized backup.

I had to google “Lutris” to remember what it was. I have it installed… I guess this post made me realize how little I use it and that I should uninstall the slop.

My understanding is that most PHEVs use a hybrid drivetrain to drive the car directly from the combustion engine.

Yes.

If the thread is about people who already agree with the point slapping each other on the back, sure, go ahead.

But if you want to convince anyone, you may not want your numbers to be obviously made up. Putting aside that the phalanx shooting is an order of magnitude off, the same torpedo has 3 different prices one after another. Even someone who has no idea how much these things cost can see it’s BS if they pay attention.

It’s not getting one wrong. But much more importantly, if your point is backed up by fake numbers, no one who didn’t agree with you from the start is going to take you seriously. Pointing bullshit early is important, unless you want your greater point undermined by bullshit numbers.

How? How do you assign how much of the R&D should be counted for the one missile fire or burst from a Phalanx? How much of the ship operation cost? The few seconds on the video? When I have no context of when and where these firings happened?

And much more importantly, what for? How would pricing random weapons firing on a random video help anyone with anything?

What first made me completely disbelieve the video was the Phalanx costing hundreds of thousands in a few seconds. That’s order of magnitude wrong. Yes, the RIM-116 is in the ballpark although still too high.

Anyway, the video is bullshit. That has nothing to do with whether the point it is trying to make is. No need to get that defensive.

I could go search for them, or you could notice that the price tag is different for each of the 3 torpedo launches shown despite being the same type of torpedo. 🤡

Anyway, the CIWS systems like the phalanx (minigun looking shit) cost around $3,500 per second, not above $50k a second like the video would suggest.

You mean the NYT video that shows a completely different (nearby) building being bombed? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t trust Trump either, but spreading made up clickbait won’t help.

This plane does not carry nukes.

Yes, but I couldn’t recall the name. Thanks for mentioning it.

I mean, this one is fake, but there is a company creating haluers that do pretty much this. Have a small battery they recharge with a generator. According to them, a generator is a lot more efficient and enviromentaly friendly compared to normal engine, since it runs at constant rpm.

Except it’s just completely random numbers slapped on the footage.

I mean, if you want to call it a beef, go ahead. But it’s not like it is an unreasonable request, since it is necessary to make sure short pins used by most people are at least a bit secure.

GrapheneOS had security requirements and they offered to help Fairphone implement them, but Fairphone refused. Apparently they are not interested in their users security and privacy. So I won’t be touching Fairphones with a 10ft stick.

Motorola was interested and should be launching a phone with GrapheneOS preinstalled at the end of 2026 or in 2027.

Creative interpretation of reality. Polymarket pretends it is not a betting platform, since betting on wars and similar shit is banned even in the US.

What’s your point? Even if you were right that both sides were evil, should it somehow make me sad they are killing each other?
