The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon in c/technology@lemmy.world

I have yet to see a single item have a significant discount on prime day, it's not even a sale.

At this point. I just block anyone I see using the em dash. Will a few false positives slip in? Sure, but I'm confident that I'm blocking more bots than nots.

Mentra raises $8M and launches MentraOS 2.0 open-source smartglasses software in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Why? I haven't been following smart glasses development at all, but a camera is one of the things I would just expect it to have, and would be surprised if it was missing. Like, isn't that a requirement for some kinds of AR? Seems like if you are against smart glasses with outward cameras, then you're really just against smart glasses period.

Third one of these comics I've seen in a short time. Are they supposed to be anti-jokes? None of them seem to have any sort of punchline..

Pixel has a built in feature that screens my calls and sends spammers to a bot. Graphene has no equivalent to this.

Decline in tourist numbers to Japan blamed on manga's disaster prediction in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world
[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 81 points 1 day ago (11 children)

It couldn't possibly related to a global decline in tourism, could it? No, obviously it's this obscure manga 1999 that's responsible.

What's a really popular TV show you just couldn't get into? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Sopranos.

The Mafia and gangster genre has just never appealed to me. I always find the characters annoying and one-dimensional.

Pass. Such a tired genre at this point.

US exports of wine to Canada was only $54mil at its maximum? That seems low.

If you can't tell it's AI, then it's a problem entirely made up in your own head.

Why isn't steam from power plants harnessed, condensed, and used to power gravity fed water turbines? (lemmy.world)

Is it just a matter of not being worth it? I see cooling towers releasing what appears to be a ton of steam, pretty high up. If that steam were captured at the top and allowed to condense, wouldn't that result in a ton of water with a lot of gravitational potential energy? That water could then be released and used to power water turbines. Maybe I'm overestimating the amount of water being released as steam, or underestimating how much is needed to spin a water turbine to get a meaningful result, but it seems like wasted energy to me.

What's the best way of planning a route for a moving van on a cross-country (US) trip? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm moving across the country in a few weeks and am trying to plan my route as I'll be driving a moving van with a car towed behind it. The entire drive will be 16-17 hours.

Google maps seems limited for searching everything I'd want to take into account for the route (pull through gas stations, height requirements, avoiding mountain highways, etc.) and was wondering if anyone knew of a better way to plan out the trip?
