It's especially dumb considering the new wireless standard uses magnets to make sure the phone is aligned to the charger. At that point, why not just make it a physical magnetic connector on the back of the phone and avoid wireless altogether.

Now do crypto.

Honestly, this could be the best outcome for the country (and the world) if this happened - US military is ordered to invade Canada/Panama/Greenland, refuses, a coup d'etat takes place. I'd be very surprised if anyone outside of Trump's circle of influence wants to invade an ally, it's just way too crazy way too soon.

How has he not been booted as CEO yet? If I was a shareholder I'd be pissed.

I worked for a large AAA during the pandemic, and it was ridiculous how many people they hired in a short space of time. We quadrupled our studio size over 12 months. So when layoffs started happening, of course our studio scaled back. Public corporations cannot be trusted to act ethically.

Surely we'd be seeing similar levels of tooth decay in US children then? Is it related to the NHS and dental costs? Or some environmental or genetic factor?

It takes a special kind of mismanagement to go broke running a casino. Bravo.

Ditched Ubuntu last year for Hannah Montana Linux and haven't looked back.

The new phreaking.

I've played around with using PLA to make plant pots on an old Ender 3. It wasn't quite waterproof, but pretty close. If you wanted a perfect seal for underwater shenanigans, I'd probably experiment with different wall thickness settings, and maybe temperatures/fan cooling settings. You want to try and minimise the tiny air pockets between layer and filament drawing lines. (Resin 3D printers are probably better at this tbh.)

I had reasonable success using a hot air gun to melt the outer layer of PLA to make it perfectly smooth, but this can deform your object if it heats up too much, so I'm guessing very hot temperatures and less contact time would be the ideal setting.

You could also try smearing Vaseline or resin coating the outside of the object.

This doesn’t mean that Meta denies using shadow libraries, its argument is that using such data to train its LLM models constitutes fair use under U.S. copyright law.

Oh wow, I'm very much looking forward to this argument... "We believe pirating the copyrighted commercial works of others en masse to develop our own commercial product constitutes fair use... China bad!"

I had a good experience with Daikin split systems, but it's really going to depend on your region and what's available in your area, or what you've already got. If you're looking for inspiration on what works well, check the Home Assistant forums.
