i've been there once. afaik those miners are not really employed by any entity just locals mining them to sell anywhere they can sell it to hence the lack of proper equipment and its not really an industry designated place.

someone in my group purchased them for Rp 20.000 (roughly $1.2 usd) a kg of raw sulfur. idk what they intend to use it for.

I'm going to give ph a benefit of the doubt. the missile system talked about is a mid range missile and afaik is incapable of delivering nuke payload or even effective if they added some nuke payload in it. they only have 16 of it installed, the rationale i think is that it may give them some ground to ask china to stop harassing fishing vessel without escalating and makes west taiwan looks bad without much compromise to its naval defences.

another angle to look at it is that maybe ph is trying to distance to the us influence and maybe its just a politic talk to get other source of defence system capabilities from other part of the world.

personally, i think south east asia and taiwan need its own harassing system developed and deployed to counter west taiwan harassment. nobody want escalation but they should be able to give same response if provoked.

all joking aside. im curious, are these improvised armor effective for what they do? russia seems to be doing it for a while now and im guessing it should have some merit at the least

i can. downvoting them gives me the satisfaction. their post always have less than 10 upvotes but after the ban i see their post gaining 10+ opvotes, im not the only one doing it.

lemmy is better but not that better.

i always downvote AI stuff on lemmy and i noticed i cant downvote on main AI instances anymore recently. i never say anything, never comment.

i do analog photography for a hobby, in the grand scheme professional analog photographers only account for like less than 1 percent and current film manufacturers are only able to exist because some high profile film directors insist on shooting film (think nolan) and film students. when theyre no longer around film will die soon.

there is almost no new film camera produced and the price of film keeps increasing to unreasonable prices.

im tired of feeling powerless and started to have some unhinged thought. how hard is it to actually starting to work towards a solution just to realize a group of smarter people than me already have their answer and its involves ineffective pier and airdrops, alongside billions of dollar of arms toward the other side.

those are not accounting on regular spending and rnd i assume. also not all of them paid equally

even accounting on how efficient led bulbs are?

 

Hi, just wondering if the title is possible. I'm currently daily driving my steam deck as my work pc in my office. mostly i used it to stream programs off my much beefier main pc at home.

Recently I've been thinking of adding a drawing tablet to the setup (wacom movink) but it uses usb c to c and the dock only has one for power. so if i used an adapter (usb c to usb a), would it work?

cheers.

 

one thing i miss the most about my switch is the joy con. i love being able to game while my arm is pretty much free.

i was thrilled when valve announced joy con support but when i tried it on my pc and my deck the connection is spotty and the input lag is really bad, i tried with multiple joy cons but it still the same, do you guys have the same experience or is there something i have to do with it first.

cheers.
