Russ (Retro Game Corps) was so confident with his CEMU video he didn’t think he’d be a target despite everyone in the comments saying otherwise.

[…] so why were only Apple phones affected?

The answer, it seems, is because Apple recently defected from traditional quartz-based clocks in its phones in favor of clocks that are also made of MEMS silicon. Given that clocks are the most critical device in any computer and are necessary to make the CPU function, their disruption with helium atoms is enough to crash the device. 

In this case, the leaking helium from the MRI machine infiltrated the iPhones like a “tiny grain of sand” and caused the MEMS clocks to go haywire.

I used the default for about a year before switching it up to ‘Planetary’.

Off topic, but I’d love to get a Firefox-style app icon, but with a Lemming instead of a fox. Honestly, it’d just be a fat blob with teeth and that’d be ok lol

Dramatic like a fireball rising up from the crash, not the drama created by the camera and music.

The engine cut was so sudden. I was honestly expecting a more dramatic failure, but still awesome to see reusable rockets steadily becoming the norm.

RESUSCITATE! RESUSCITATE!

I mean they don’t call it RAW for nothing.

Why do you think they’re called D batteries? 😏

Sorry, I thought I was replying in the technology community where this same post was made. Apple posts there are either harshly criticized or often downvoted.

If you haven’t realized it by now, Lemmy is largely anti-Apple. Why people might expect a positive discussion about Apple outside of an Apple-oriented community, I know not.

I’ve listened to the musical version so many times that the voices just feel wrong now.

 

In Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 5, "Mirrors"Detmer and Owosekun were assigned to pilot the Mirror Universe's ISS Enterprise to Federation HQ by Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green). This explained Detmer and Owo's absence for the rest of Discovery season 5.

However, Detmer and Owo do appear in Star Trek: Discovery's epilogue scene, and they were a sight for sore eyes.

 

Gordon Ramsay sets out on a mission to discover the world's best kept culinary secret: Minecraft. After exploring different biomes, he is tasked with the challenge of using the ingredients he collected to prepare a grand feast for the villagers of the savannah.

 

I can’t remember the last time I found these on sale, so I wanted to share in case anyone else was waiting on a discount.

Fanfiction Community Rocked By Etsy Sellers Turning Their Work Into Bound Books

Etsy sellers are turning free fanfiction into printed and bound physical books, and listing them for sale on online marketplaces for more than $100 per book. It’s a problem that’s rattling the authors of those fanfics, as well as their fans and readers.

Several sellers, easily found on Etsy and very popular, each with hundreds of five-star reviews, are selling copies of fanfiction taken from sites like Archive of Our Own (Ao3) and reselling them as bound books. The average price of these bound copies is around $149. Some sellers claim that they’re simply covering the cost of materials, while others just sell the books, usually with the fanfiction writers’ Ao3 username on the cover.

 

[…] being able to say, "wherever you get your podcasts" is a radical statement. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that's supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that's not owned by any one company, that can't be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience.

What podcasting holds in the promise of its open format is the proof that an open web can still thrive and be relevant, that it can inspire new systems that are similarly open to take root and grow.

 

A Casey Neistat Vision Pro video posted over the weekend was, he says, simply intended to be a piece of silly fun – wearing the device while catching metro trains and walking through Times Square.

But he said that in the course of making the video, he had a totally unexpected experience, which convinced him that this type of device is the future of computing…

 

Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC in a statement shared on live television that Apple has no intention to license Masimo's patents. While it seemed likely that was the case, the company hadn't said as much publicly until now.

"We're focused on appeal," Cook's statement said. "There's lots of reasons to buy the watch even without the blood oxygen sensor."

 

Apple Music Classical was updated today with CarPlay support, which will allow users to access the app from their vehicle's infotainment screen when an iPhone is connected. However, the app does not appear to be functional yet when opened.
