It's an ion thruster, not a rocket per say. You cannot use it in lower atmosphere at all (well you can but it doesn't do much), unfortunately some of the propellant would still find its way to the atmosphere.

The market of small thrusters for steering satellites is much larger than building actual rockets that take those satellites to orbit.

That is kinda disappointing. I had a distaste for Brave after all the initial controversy regarding the ad blocking, which only got worse from the crypto crap they now have in the browser.

I'll still keep paying for Kagi, but this is a step in the wrong direction in my opinion. Let's hope at least the results get noticeably better.

What a shitty limitation though.

A Amazon? I am way more triggered about that than I should.

Meta said in a statement that privacy was top of mind when designing the glasses. “We know if we’re going to normalize smart glasses in everyday life, privacy has to come first and be integrated into everything we do,” the company said.

Ha.

I don't think Meta has the same idea of privacy than the people do. I mean, Meta having all the data hidden in their servers, being fed to AI and given to advertisement algorithms is privacy when the data is "anonymized" and held onto securely. Right?

I don't think that this catches on. However, the second this is included with lenses that act as transparent screens for AR stuff, it'll be flying off the shelves. No, not the very first model, not the second probably, but the one made by a large corporation that actually does it well.

Though tbh just the lenses / screens would do it, camera is just extra. So I actually think first they will get the lenses done and camera stuff ia added later when the rest is already commonly used.

If 7.1 isn't necessary and you already have a mic, I would suggest you take a peek at just normal audiophile headphones. If you don't mind Reddit, some good pointers and ideas in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/HeadphoneAdvice/comments/yobt7y/has_anyone_used_audiophile_headphones_for_gaming/.

I've been using Beyerdynamic DT880 pro for a few years and they're amazing. Comfortable as hell and pads can be removed easily and cleaned or swapped. Great sound, zero regrets with these headphones. The entire DT lineup from them is very good as far as I know. Another go-to option is Sennheiser's 600 series, but they're a bit more expensive. There are numerous others but those are the ones that I know of.

I would suggest browsing what the /r/HeadphoneAdvice has to say, asking about audiophile headphones for gaming is a common question.

It should be noted that this report includes emissions from the entire production chain and the use of said item and places it to the company. Someone makes a car and you drive it for 1 000 000km and the company that made the car is now responsible for the pollution you caused by driving. Actually, the companies who made the materials to make the car are responsible, according to the report.

Could just be the language. In Finnish "limonadi" is soda, though you barely hear that word nowadays. Hence, not hard to think that sprite is lemonade.

Oh there! Long press on a post, in case someone can't find it.

Thanks!

Sure yes I agree that it is shady and weird that they just don't say what data is being sent. Not really sure why they don't.

It's not that the data being sent is like too much or too in detail (though maybe WiFi ssid is unnecessary), it's just that the company is weirdly not being upfront about this.

Yeah after reading about this I feel like this is nothing. Is it weird that the logs include stuff like sensor data of your printer? Or that they send the model? Isn't that the entire point of the help function and logging.

The open-source copyright violations are an issue though, should those be factual.
