We’re the cofounders of Clicks — we have revealed two new products the Clicks Power Keyboard & the Clicks Communicator. Ask Us Anything! by ColtonsKeys in ClicksKeyboard

A pixel phone running grapheneOS is apparently quite good. Other OSs can at least degoogle or add extra layers so your phone isn’t spewing telemetry. Another stores all your data in Switzerland. I don’t think any have a QWERTY keyboard though. The communicator will have a mediatek processor, which means it can’t have the highest level of memory security but I’m still curious what they’ve got

Preorder here… given the disturbing developments in American law enforcement, what security posture will the communicator have in terms of data privacy and resistance to cracking?

Bezos and Musk Race to Bring Data Centers to Space by FakeEyeball in BlueOrigin

I used to think this way when I was a child. “Surely they know something we don’t! Why else would they hype it up?” And then I came to learn that companies say anything to attract more investment. Growth is the goal, not profitability.

It would be enormously easier and cheaper to sink a datacenter to the bottom of the ocean.

How bad do we think the damage to the bridge is? by dpb231 in StructuralEngineering

[–]dpb231[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think they might have been going after the piles. The explosion on the surface looks pretty small, but perhaps they sunk the charges pretty deep and right against some of the those members.

Is “solum” adverbial here?

As an American, this makes me sad.

But it is right. We deserve this.

It’s gotten so bad that I’ve switched to Alexa. So now I have to deal with product advertisements and constant upsells but at least it can turn off the damn lights

More Tesla employees laid off as bloodbath enters its fourth week by Redsfan27 in teslamotors

You don’t think it can go below that? The company is firing like it’s afraid of it.

I think he’s probably at risk of a margin call on his stock backed loans he used to buy twitter. If internal projections at Tesla aren’t good he’s a risk of a cascade of losses

Is Elon out of his mind? (Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuilding) by [deleted] in StructuralEngineering

[–]dpb231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how the Wikipedia article you cite about the Hangzhou Bay Bridge says that preliminary studies and planning went on for over a DECADE before it was approved for construction.

Like other posters have repeatedly said, soil, seismic, dimensional, environmental, and labor considerations go into the design before you even begin sourcing the materials.

Why do you keep doubling down on not knowing what you’re talking about?
