Technology@lemmy.world•Chinese carmaker, BYD, introduces new battery technology with 621-mile range, 620K-mile lifespan, 5-minute charge, and lower pricesEnglish
402·9 days agoThe current v1 blade battery has operated in the real world about the same as their original announcement, which also was viewed with skepticism.
These aren’t research laboratory battery advancements without real world scenarios attached. These are announcements for an improved product entering production. Like a new phone being announced, not just a white paper from a lab that hasn’t been scaled.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump replacing Noem as Homeland Security secretaryEnglish
31·11 days agoThe title is accurate, but it is also poorly worded because of that possible interpretation.
You’re getting downvotes because people aren’t willing to admit their brains picked the the stupidest interpretation of the headline and just went with that instead of actually thinking about the more likely way it was meant, or reading ANY of the article to verify. They’re reacting to defend that initial assumption, instead of acknowledging that they made an incorrect off the cuff assumption from the headline and just moving on with their day. They’re doing exactly what MAGA does, that they criticize them for constantly, and a source of how we got into this political shitstorm of a system in the first place.

5·14 days agoWell if your goal is laundering money and not making a profit, it makes sense. Usually you do both at the same time though because casinos basically print money. Which just proves even more how stupid he is honestly.

79·16 days agoSingle issue voters are one of the biggest problems with US politics. They’re willing to ignore everything else about reality. Doesn’t matter if it’s Genocide, LGBTQ issues, or Abortion, it’s the same outcome.
The worst option overall becomes the most likely.

Or am I misremembering that? Hard to remember all this shit nowadays, as designed.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your AddressEnglish
6·18 days agoIt makes sense if they don’t care. It works well enough for their marketplace and that’s as far as they decided to go with it. Amazon isn’t exactly known for accountability.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your AddressEnglish
12·18 days agoAmazon handles fulfillment for tens or thousands of third party sellers.
Unless the item you’re buying says “sold by Amazon” under the Buy buttons, it’s coming from a third party. Prime shipping only means it is coming from the Amazon warehouse, not that Amazon is selling it.
It’s been a major issue for years for commonly counterfeited brands, because apparently Amazon’s warehouses don’t differentiate and all those items are dumped in the same bins, so real products get mixed with fakes and third party sellers get hit with returns, reviews, and even bans for fake products. Apparently Amazon puts the same generic item barcode on all of the items, and once they’re mixed into in the bins they no longer can track individual products back to the original seller.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMsEnglish
4·18 days agoWell you clearly haven’t used the standard available download (non-beta/nightly release) consistently through last year. Waterfox was using ESR 128 since October 2024, kept that base until finally upgrading to ESR 140 last August. So that’s nearly a year of its base being out of date. So the user agent reported that number… sites really don’t like that since they’re looking at that for support.
https://www.waterfox.com/releases/6.5.0/ https://www.waterfox.com/releases/6.6.0/
Twitch only supports the last TWO versions of Firefox officially and will actively block logging in from older versions. So while you might be able to watch Twitch, if you aren’t already logged in, you won’t be able to login.

There are thousands of posts about it online for Waterfox other forks.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMsEnglish
8·18 days agoLast time I tried Waterfox some sites like Twitch that actively block usage on old browsers, refused to work because the latest Waterfox release was based on a Firefox like 20+ builds behind.
Firefox was on like version 142 and the latest Waterfox download was based on build 128.

121·22 days agoI never said it was solely on them, but saying that has no bearing on it is ridiculous as well.
We also had COVID which many/most schools had no fucking idea how to handle. There’s basically an entire year of wasted education there.
Remote learning is a completely different beast. And digital social interaction is completely different than being physically at school with friends. Social interactions are a large part of learning as well.

That was almost certainly YouTube breaking itself. They do a lot of public A-B testing without notifying the user of anything, even if it could break functionality.
The chances of Librewolf breaking, and updating in 24 hours is basically zero. Especially if you’re on Windows since it doesn’t update itself, you have to choose to install the separate updater application when you install Librewolf, otherwise it just doesn’t update.
