  • That’s in part because DJI is the world’s largest maker of commercial drones, leaving firms with limited choice when it comes to procuring low-cost unmanned aerial systems.

    I have been looking forward to a non-Chinese alternative for some time as I am quite interested in getting a drone...

  • Surprised there is no mention of critics from Italians.

  • Yeah. There was an incident in the university where I studied that the whole roof collapsed. https://hongkongfp.com/2016/06/10/city-university-may-sue-contractor-rooftop-collapse-investigation-report-released/

    What are these in the sea?

    What are these dotted ball shaped things I circled in yellow in the image?

    I thought they may be sea urchin skeletons. Though the things in the image may be too many and too large?

    They are in a mural in Brighton, England. The subject is "Protecting Costa Rican Wildlife", so I guess they are of some native species there.

    Any good smart power strip not made in China?

    I'm looking for a smart power strip, which allows me to remote control and schedule on/off.

    Last year I bought Hey!'s smart power strip. Hey! is a UK brand, but turn out its products are just branded Chinese products. I used it anyway but it just bricked itself last month.

    For quality, safety, and security reasons, I strongly prefer a non-made-in-China smart power strip.

    Compatibility with Home Assistant is prefered, but not 100% required. I'm interested in switching to Home Assistant but I haven't yet.

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    sauce rule

    In this information era, some of the few people who are resilient against fake news are the weebs. They're always asking for sauce. Be like weebs.

  • Thanks for checking. I've just sent an email to feddit.uk to see if they have any idea on their side.

    My posts and comments to feddit.uk communities aren't going through. I can only see the posts and comments on this instance but not on feddit.uk.

    For example, this post doesn't appear in https://feddit.uk/c/brighton

    Is there any technical problem or is one defederated with another?

  • It still happens to me as of today.

    I've found the relevant GitHub issue, which says the fix is to compile lemmy with pict-rs v0.4.0-beta.7 or later versions.

    Costco: Brighton and Crawley among potential new UK stores

  • At least you're not rewarded with more ads.

  • Not using TikTok is still an option and that's what I chose.

  • Didn't know big spiders is a thing here. I thought only Australia has these... But I guess this one is still tiny in Australia standard.

  • Thanks! I'm relieved. I knew I read /r/OopsThatsDeadly too much.

  • Have just released it outside. Wished it live happily ever after.

    What is this spider?

    Found this at home in England. I moved to England from Hong Kong not long ago, so I'm not familiar with local spiders at all. Maybe it's very common?

  • Have you played the password game yet?

  • I don't know how to quit vim.

  • Use Newpipe. It plays youtube (and several video sites') videos without any ads nor trackings. No Google account needed.

    Install it and set it as the app for opening youtube links in system settings.

    Note that the app is not available in Google Play store. It can be installed from f-droid, or you can directly download its apk.

  • Note that moderate intake of alcohol can be beneficial to health.

    More than 100 prospective studies show an inverse association between light to moderate drinking and risk of heart attack, ischemic (clot-caused) stroke, peripheral vascular disease, sudden cardiac death, and death from all cardiovascular causes.

    https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/healthy-drinks/drinks-to-consume-in-moderation/alcohol-full-story/

    But if you're only considering cancer, then as some of the other answers suggested, cutting alcohol intake to zero could reduce the risk of getting cancer, although the reduction is likely very small that's neglectable.

    hole at the entrance of house

    I moved to England from Hong Kong recently. I found that it is common to see these holes (tiny doorway arch looking thing) in front of houses. What are they?

    Use a fan controller program to tune up the laptop fan

    Less problems of sweaty hands and grilling laps. Pretty useful for me using Intel MacBook Pro during heatwave.

    Japanese biomass venture using microorganisms to tackle waste disposal - The Mainichi

    The company supplies bacteria that can process 98 percent of organic waste into water and carbon dioxide in just 24 hours, eliminating the need to turn it into compost, which is often not put to use.

    Sounds like this can be useful in big cities where there are not much green space to put compost to use.
