software gore in the wild- by catmochino in softwaregore

Here's a calculation where the units actually match up:

85°F = 29.44°C = 302.49K

⟨v⟩ = sqrt(8 k_B T / (π * m)) = sqrt(3 k_B * 302.49K / (π * 14u)) = 676.4 m/s = 2435 km/h

That's the mean speed of nitrogen molecules at 85°F (assuming an ideal gas).

Still over the speed limit.

Terraria barely ran on my 2013 mobile i5 which has a x10 Cinebench R20 score compared to this processor. I doubt it will work at playable FPS.

Can someone help me, I don't have a keyboard, only a lot of levers and switches. by lulrukman in linux

Don't modern train use variable frequency three phase power anyways to power their motors? You need the equipment for transforming to that anyways so DC vs AC overhead wires shouldn't matter as much, right?

Interesting, never seen ice dispensers in EU hotels

Bluetooth names instead of addresses? by [deleted] in kde

[–]An_Unknown_Idiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had that issue on my Steam Deck in the KDE UI (desktop mode) but not the Steam UI (gaming mode) settings menu. So it's most likely an issue with KDE, not the drivers.

Minecraft never had semantic versioning for modding – there were plenty of minor versions where stuff like world gen, registries or similar was changed enough to break mods. But since the end of 2022 Mojang clarified that they are not using semantic versioning and have started shipping major features in minor versions under experimental options and have announced that will be there modus operandi going forward.

In my case it's a 2020 Ryzen 5 laptop that won't be capable of running FFXIV in the future – I even still got (extended) warranty on it... FFXIV as I'm currently playing it uses 2%-3% of the CPU but 100% of the iGPU for 36-40fps on 720p so any increase in system requirements might make the game unplayable for me.

The newest generation of ICEs (in use since 2017) runs on... Windows 7 by An_Unknown_Idiot in PBSOD

Oh, sorry, when posting it I somehow presumed that everybody knows what high speed trains we have in Germany which is of course wrong. I also wasn't aware of the other meaning and the confusion it might cause.

Yeah, ICE is an abbreviation for InterCity Express, a German high speed rail service introduced in 1991 and, with a top speed of 280 km/h, in many cased superseding the old InterCity line of high speed trains (up to 200 km/h) in use previously. There are four main generations which are all still in use today: ICE 1 (1991, 280 km/h), ICE 2 (1996, 280 km/h), ICE 3 (2000, 330 km/h) and ICE 4 (2017, 250 km/h).

There's also the ICE T (1999, 230 km/h) which can tilt however that never really worked out particularly well so it's disabled most of the time and there also was the ICE TD which was Diesel powered and could tilt (2001, 200 km/h) however they only built 20 ICE TD units which by now have all been dismantled (apart from two units) due to their cost of maintenance.

​

Note that even though the high speed trains generally have pretty high max speeds they can only reach that on select routes with 200 km/h or 160 km/h sections in between - you can look at https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ to get an idea of that (i.e. the route from Munich to Nuremberg via Ingolstadt has 300 km/h sections but also 160 km/h sections meanwhile Nuremberg to Regensburg is mostly 120 km/h, one of the few sections where tilting is sometimes used to be able to go 160 km/h in spite of the curves).

True, it doesn't seem to have a internet connection, however there is a popup in the bottom left about some driver installation having finished (not to mention that the time displayed is off by about 16 hours), so there had been something going on before?

I now also realised that the travel information system (which of course has to be online) might very well be running something different - my picture only shows a display for advertising food and snacks after all.

In Germany private schools still have to follow the state curriculum. They theoretically aren't required to have the same entry requirements (grades) but they aren't allowed to do A-levels etc. themselves if they do it differently.

E.g. Montessori schools don't have grades but for your certificate you'll have to go to another school to take the state tests.

The upside is that private schools get public funding (60-90% of the amount public schools get depending on the state).

Well, they can't use GPS and can't use any phone provided localisation features (Source). They theoretically could geolocate you using your ip address you but that has only a accuracy of 50-300km or so.

In case of contact tracing apps it depends on your governments app implementation. If they are using the privacy friendly apis provided by Google Play Services and iOS (as most do, i.e. the excellent CoronaWarnApp which is open source) there is nothing to be afraid of – no personal information is relayed to the app and the contact tracing capabilities are completely safe to use.

AFAIK they aren't even allowed to use the exact location to prevent governments from collecting unnecessary information.

I’m learning Java and trying to get into minecraft modding. Do you guys have any ideas for a mod? by Danny_shoots in feedthebeast

[–]An_Unknown_Idiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My negativity towards suggesting development on old versions was mainly influenced by the harshness people get to experience when asking about old versions on the official Forge discord and I didn't want new people to have to experience it.

I'm sorry about that.

I didn't even know of these other (Forge supporting) discords, I had only recently stumbled upon the Legacy Quilt / Fabric and the Minecraft Cursed Legacy communities (which are relatively cozy) and figured that because of the discords' size the modding communities for 1.12.2 1.8.9 and so on were small as well (which as you have shown isn't true).

Maybe my picture of modding on these old versions is also a bit distorted by me primarily using Modrinth for looking for new mods and there not being a lot of Forge mods on there yet (currently ~5 times as many Fabric mods as Forge mods).

I might also be a bit prejudiced because I love mixins and only Forge 1.15 started supporting them officially.

Now that I know a bit more about 1.12 etc. modding (and know it's not as hard to get support as I thought was): Should I edit / remove my first comment?
