Doing some quick math and numbers pulled from wikipedia, Lead is about 14-15x as effective by volume compared to water at blocking gamma radiation.
I think far more significant in saving the other scientists was the inverse square law. The radiation energy falls off with the square of distance, so Slotin would have received a significantly higher dose just from being right next to it.
I used my last phone for about 4 years. At that point the battery life was getting worse, and the coating to prevent smudges and make your finger slide easily had worn off in the middle. Even then it's still perfectly usable, I just wanted an upgrade and to get away from Samsung.
I don't understand the people that upgrade every year or two. In the last 5 years basically the only new development has been higher refresh rate displays and faker looking (more processed) camera images...
Surely, you can't be serious?
Apparently there's some open source designs for a sim card module already. Idk if Framework is planning on making their own though. https://github.com/Zokhoi/framework-cellular-card
... Didn't the EU JUST fine Apple half a billion euros over the same thing?
How are they going to enforce this? Is side loading getting some extra signing step only Google can provide?
I shouldn't need to go through Google at all to release an Android app if it's not on their store. This is bullshit
Not a single mention of xrandr on that page. Bazzite uses Wayland, not X11
And bonus, Bloomberg's lawyers could get punished or even disbarred for filing knowingly fraudulent claims
Acronyms being "shorter and less scary" couldn't be more wrong
Catholics attend Mass (church)
That's unfortunate. Personally I can barely tell all the black rectangles apart. It's a utility for me, not a fashion accessory. Maybe if it was, I'd have an iPhone
