IIRC from earlier reading, Russia was issuing them Russian rifles for the conflict.

I don’t think that the thumbnail is from the current deployment.

“It’s a little bit tricky because this species makes their nest under the ground — more than 30 meters — so it is not easy to find,” he said. “We are trying.”

30 meters seems kind of unlikely to me. 30 centimeters, maybe?

Unlike other species of Vespa, V. mandarinia  Asian Giant Hornet prefers to nest underground. With rotten pine roots being a common nesting material for these hornets, however, snake or rodent tunnels that have already been dug up  have also been used to nest.  The depth of these nests are between 6 and 60 centimetres (2.4 and 23.6 in).

Yeah, that seems more like the right range.

As things stand, the UN expects the population to peak at about 19 million before entering decline, so that should be a pretty easy goal.

You don’t want the “/c/” prefix – take that off and it’ll produce a home-instance-agnostic hyperlink automatically for people reading the comment.

Just:

!community@instance

Like !news@lemmy.world.

Yeah, trying to blacklist everything you don’t like seems like an endless game of whack-a-mole. Easier to just whitelist what you want.

EDIT: Another reason to subscribe is that you will only see traffic from a remote community on All if at least one person on your home instance has subscribed to it. So if you just browse All, you may never see some stuff at all, and if all the people subscribed to a community unsubscribe and the community isn’t on your home instance, you’ll stop seeing new material from it. If you subscribe, then it’ll show up and keep showing up.

Microsoft closed Arkane Studios after the disaster that was Redfall when most of the poor choices came from Bethesda and Microsoft

Bethesda and Arkane had a common owner, ZeniMax. Bethesda itself didn’t own Arkane.

Based on the fact that I see a lot of posts complaining about Call of Duty on the Threadiverse, I’d imagine that there are at least some people who would be interested in an alternative to CoD.

a former SEC commissioner

Eh, that’s a pretty vanilla pick. Like, not another Gaetz.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_S._Atkins

He was a Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 2002 to 2008

From 1990 to 1994, Atkins served on the staff of two former chairmen of the SEC, Richard C. Breeden and Arthur Levitt.

He was in a closely-associated spot under Bush Senior, Clinton, and Bush Junior administrations.

Numerous polls have found that most Americans believe that a standard time should be fixed and permanent—as many as 75% favor no longer changing clocks twice per year.[18] One of the most common observations among researchers of varying backgrounds is that the change itself causes most of the negative effects, more so than either standard time or daylight saving time.[1] Researchers have observed numerous ill effects of the annual transitions, including reduced worker productivity, increased heart attacks and strokes, increased medical errors,[19] and increased traffic incidents.[3]

The debate over the bill mainly concerns whether it is better to have more sunlight in the morning or the evening. A 2023 YouGov poll found that half of Americans supported permanent daylight time, 31% were in favor of permanent standard time, and 19% had no preference or were not sure.

I feel that this is diverging from your original comment, but okay, Windows 11 – as with all prior releases of Windows – has minimum CPU and memory requirements. That isn’t what the article text is discussing, but fair enough.

But I don’t see any association with that and AI. This isn’t parallel processing hardware being discussed.

Did you read the article text? It’s specifically discussing how Microsoft will not relax the requirement for TPM 2.0.

They need the hardware to run their AI shit

The requirement is for TPM, not parallel processing hardware. It provides trusted hardware, facilitates things like DRM.

Sounds like 2025 is gonna be a good year for PC manufacturers.

Mr Armstrong said the court must be “very, very wary of causing a grave injustice to Mr Howells” by refusing to allow the case to go to a full trial.

“We seek, plainly and candidly, a declaration of rights over the ownership of the Bitcoin,” Mr Armstrong said.

As I’ve commented before, I expect that what a court would find is that Howells owns the Bitcoin, but that this is a different question from whether he owns the drive on which the numbers necessary to access the Bitcoin are stored.

The previous example I gave was that of a piece of paper on which a bank account password was written. It seems very unlikely to me that a court would find that ownership of the account contents is tied to ownership of the paper. I think that:

• It would find that throwing out a piece of paper containing the account password does not transfer ownership of the account’s contents to the landfill.

• But also, that simply having accidentally put something in the trash doesn’t create special ownership rights for me. Nor does having written something on the paper. I cannot compel the landfill to let me go search the landfill for that paper simply because I own the contents of that account.

This is far from the first time that people have regretted accidentally throwing something out after the fact. If one is going to simply claim that the fact that the discarding was inadvertent means that a landfill must let someone go pick through the landfill, I suspect that landfill operation would become impractical. What’s unusual about this case is just the high value of the thing that was accidentally thrown out. And I’m dubious that courts are going to decide that someone has the right to compel searching a landfill based just on the value of something accidentally thrown out.

I’d guess that a more-common scenario is someone owning intellectual property and accidentally throwing out the only physical copy of that intellectual property, like a recording of music that they made. Their intellectual property rights will not be transferred to a landfill or terminate merely because they threw out the only physical copy of a recording of that intellectual property. Throwing it out may make it difficult to actually make use of those intellectual property rights, but they still have those rights. Demonstrating that they have those rights isn’t going to mean that they own the storage media on which the recording lives, however.

Northvolt filed for bankruptcy, and in the text, they claim Northvolt filed for bankruptcy protection. Like idk, there’s a huge fucking difference between the two…

Bankruptcy is a legal status that provides protection from creditors when you’re out of funds to pay them. Basically, suspends their ability to compel payment of your debts to them while a court addresses the situation.
