  • The monitor can connect to a source device over USB-C or mini-HDMI, and can duplicate or extend the display of Windows and Linux/Android devices – macOS and iOS systems have proven problematic thus far, so Dasung advises against using the 13K for Apple products.

    Guess I can be relieved that this stops me from being tempted. Very interesting nonetheless.

  • They’re extremely organized and unrelenting. This con has been running since the late seventies at least. It all started because a religious school wanted to be racist and didn’t want to pay taxes. Jerry Falwell noticed that they could turn fundamentalists into angry voters and they just never stopped accumulating power.

  • This is cool because Black women are way too safe at hospitals.

    Oh, wait…

    Black women have the highest maternal mortality rate in the United States — 69.9 per 100,000 live births for 2021, almost three times the rate for white women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    I guess they shouldn't get pregnant. Getting pregnant is irresponsible if you're Black.

    Someone asked about the news, out of Punchbowl, that Amazon would soon add a line item at checkout that detailed the “import costs” of purchased goods. If Amazon did this it would join other retailers like Temu that are letting customers know why the cost of buying products from it has more than doubled in the past few weeks.

    […]

    This short saga shows how the Trump administration plans to deal with the chaos that it has created: By attempting to bully companies into denying the reality that his tariffs are making it more expensive (or potentially impossible) to buy millions of different products. The strategy here—to the extent there is one at all—is to pressure companies into eating tariff costs, pretend that none of this is happening, or to add opacity into the process by having prices shoot up without retailers breaking out what portion of them is from Trump’s tariffs.

    Tariffs? What tariffs? Nothing to see here. Move along.

    He seems to feel that his "hardcore conservatism" is relevant to a discussion about assault and cries like a baby talking about watching the news "and knowing this country is fucked."

    See the limited ability to reason about issues on full drunken display. He's either a tough guy or a whining child, as most / all conservatives tend to be. Without the security of his macho bravado, everything crumbles to pieces.

    Years ago, I encountered a fascinating concept in a book by the Dalai Lama: every seven years, human beings transform into entirely new versions of themselves. This idea stems from the biological principle that our bodies replace virtually all their cells over a seven-year cycle. The person you are ...

    I recently spoke with a friend who was still dwelling on something that happened thirty years ago. “Why do you care?” I asked him. “That was four versions of you ago. That person doesn’t exist anymore. Move on.”

    I find this way of thinking inspiring. I'm definitely going to share it with friends and loved ones.

    The FOIA request was for records related to the FBI’s purchase of multiple hacking tools for $250,000 from anti-child abuse charity The Innocent Lives Foundation. This purchase was initially included in a public U.S. government database that lists what agencies are buying. After I reported on that purchase, the listing was removed from the database.

    There will be a lot of this sort of shenanigans over the next four years.

    The claim that they were “sipping margaritas” was revealed to be completely staged nonsense, as apparently Bukele aids showed up with the props solely for the misleading photoshoot:

    Mr. Bukele, in a social media post, even crowed that “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ & ‘torture,’” was “now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!” But according to a person familiar with the situation, a Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.

    The Right are so comfortable lying that it’d be comical if it wasn’t so chilling.

    While the original ZimaBoard shipped with Intel Apollo Lake processors that were already more than four years old at the time that the board launched, the ZimaBoard 2 is powered by a current-gen Intel Twin Lake processor that should bring a significant boost in CPU and graphics performance. The company says users can expect a 200 percent performance boost, even though the new model runs cooler and quieter and uses less power while idle.

    I thought a lot about buying the first version of this. Glad I waited. Very cool. Homelabbers: have some gear lust to start your weekend. Happy Friday!

    My partner was imprisoned for advocating for democracy in her country. What's happening here is not enough.

    I'm sure we all feel great seeing photos and videos of huge protests. This isn't accomplishing much. We need more. I don't know what that is. I just know that we need it.

    Enough Musk Spam @lemmy.world
    some_guy @lemmy.sdf.org

    That was what I took away from Elon Musk’s 38-minute interview on Fox News last night, which largely focused on the billionaire’s efforts to eliminate government programs and fire thousands of federal workers. Those efforts have spurred thousands of people to protest at Tesla locations across the US. Waving signs and chanting slogans, the so-called Tesla Takedown protesters have become a symbol of opposition to Musk as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

    Can you imagine 38 minutes of this dumbass talking? Pass me a gun so I can take myself out.

    If you listen, you hear her quite understandably surprised reaction with a scream, and then she asks to call the police, only to be told “we’re the police.” None of them are in uniforms. Most of them are masked.

    I didn't have to do anything because it's been seeding 24/7 for a few years now. But as I checked my stats on various torrents, I got the pleasant surprise that another person cares about outing these pathetic losers. Cheers.
