  • You can use a vpn. There are good free ones, don't pay for one

    Rick Astley breakups must be awkward - "You said you were never gonna give me up!!!"

  • It'd be cool, and fun, if all of Lemmy had a certain no-politics day.

  • Exactly. That's the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you're interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.

  • What's the difference between a $50 HDD and a $200 HDD?

  • Why not 1 tb?

    How do you even find specific communities this is the closest thing I found to r/help for lemmy

  • What household item do you wish there was a trial/testing period for?

  • You just said that AC can't make an indoor space cooler than the temperature outside. This is completely wrong and easily disprovable by simply asking anyone who lives in a hot region. The air conditioned indoors is always MUCH cooler than temperature outside.

    Like, how do you think freezers work? The temperature inside the freezer stays below freezing while the ambient room temperature is 80 F.

    AC is an ACTIVE heat pump. It can push heat out to where it's already hotter, because it's using energy to do it. What you're describing is a passive cooling system, but air conditioners are active systems that use energy to push heat against the gradient. It's like how a passive water pipe can only have water flow down from it's highest point, but a powered water pump can actively move water upward to a point above where it started.

  • Fyi some microwaves have a way to set it to silent mode. I think in some models it might even be an undocumented button combination to do it. Web search your exact model to see if there's a way to do it

  • I'm not an expert in this area at all, but i think that if you've done some research and think you are autistic, then you're extremely likely to actually be autistic. If you check enough boxes on the list, then that's pretty much it.

  • View includes being able to see the sky. These permanently block some of the view of the sky.

  • Since the video's point is that awnings are too unattractive for people to use them, then hot damn is that so much worse. Solid metal gates - for when you want your house to look like a convenience store in a bad neighborhood when riots are about to start.

  • Developer ports Windows NT to Power Macintosh systems — firmware and boot loader now available

  • Boy, in 1994 this would've been huge!

  • While that may be true, it doesn't make people want them any more than they currently do. People want to have their full window view available whenever they want it. This means it needs to be retractable and extendable at the push of a button. And once you have that, it's easy and helpful for it to also be automated

  • Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about

    Jump

  • Make them better looking and push-button retractable from inside, and people will want them.

    EDIT

    At 16:40 he suggests high tech awnings that automatically unfurl and retract to provide the ideal amount of shade on each day of the year. Seems like a nearly perfect solution to me

  • Assuming we don't have free will, why do we have the illusion that we do?

    Jump

  • The people who are against the concept of free will say that because you have innate desires for food sex and entertainment, that you have no choice to not act upon those in a desires and therefore any delusion that you carry about the choices that you make being done of an entirely unencumbered and Free Will are false.

    That's not the argument against free will. The argument is just that there's a physical process to every thought in your head. When you think of a tree, inside your brain a specific pattern of neurons and chemical messengers activate which is what creates the thought of a tree.

    When you're consciously deciding whether to eat a donut or a salad, a specific pattern of neurons and chemical messengers are the mechanism by which that decision process is occurring. The pattern of neurons and chemical messengers happening in your brain is the physical mechanism that is performing the decision making process.

    There are no thoughts outside of the ones generated by your neurons and chemical messengers. The pattern of neurons and chemical messengers IS the thought that you're thinking. Your brain (and the thoughts that occur within it) is a physical object that obeys the laws of nature, the same as all physical objects do.
