Federal agents blast their way into house using explosives. They found young children and their mother. She believes it’s because her boyfriend had a traffic collision with ICE in c/usa@midwest.social

Because it's state sanctioned.

Doesn't the computer science industry as well?

Yes, that's the point. Everything this administration does is intended to hurt someone.

People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis" in c/techtakes@awful.systems

I think if it only takes a matter of weeks to go into full psychosis from conversation alone, they're probably already on shaky ground, mentally. Late onset schizophrenia is definitely a thing.

I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment.

Trump says saved Iran leader from 'ignominious death' in c/globalnews@lemmy.zip

I wonder who is writing those tweets, because there's no universe where Trump knows what ignominious means.

Only if Trump is strapped in tandem.

I don't know where they found it, but the WISP who ran Ethernet from the antenna to the router in my mom's house used white jackets for every wire pair.

Tabasco sauce is pretty weak, though.

Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations in c/technology@lemmy.world

A smart outlet (and running home assistant) will solve that problem.

No, the real reason is it saves a few pennies per phone. They can already spy on us through the internal mic.

But none of that is in the book from what I remember. The 0th law of robotics wasn't introduced until much later in the robots series.

Sanity Check: Smart Light Switch, No Neutral (lemm.ee)
 

I was installing a TP-link HS210 3-way smart switch in my dinning room. On the side with the mains power I do have a neutral wire, but on the other switch I have no neutral wire from the wall (for that breaker). I do have a switch that's on the kitchen breaker right next to it, though, and that has a neutral and ground.

In my breaker box, both the neutral and grounds appear to be on the same row of lugs.

Running the neutral wire from the switch to the ground works, and I'm thinking it's because it's all going to the same place. This specific switch didn't explicitly say to do this, but other switches I've installed did.

Now, I could run the switch's neutral to the neutral on the kitchen circuit. I didn't at first because I had the other switch wired wrong, so I thought it was the no neutral switch causing issues.

I might be a Dull Deadpool (lemm.ee)
 

This previous Saturday, I decided to try out my new battery powered 8" mini chainsaw. I was very stupid, and ended up holding a branch that was too small to stabilize it so it could cut it off. Of course, the saw bounced and hit the hand holding the branch.

I got two 1-2mm deep chunks taken out of my index finger knuckle, and a deep flap cut into my thumb. The weirdest thing was that it really didn't hurt; I was just annoyed that blood was everywhere.

Here I am nearly 4 days out, and my thumb is almost completely healed, and the deepest cut on my knuckle is only like 2 days from being completely healed over. The only part of the whole process that hurt was putting pressure on everything immediately after cleaning it, and putting the liquid bandage on my knuckle (it's acetone based).

I'm actually slightly concerned about my pain threshold, because I cut open my shin on a server rail yesterday and it really didn't hurt either.

Best lens for photogrammetry 3d scanner setup? (lemm.ee)
 

Hello all, I plan to use my Panasonic LUMIX G85 (micro 4/3) with a 3D scanner setup. This will be fairly close photography, with the max object size being in the 24in(61cm) range.

I have a basic telephoto and nifty fifty, but wasn't sure if there was something better suited for my purpose.

If it makes any difference, I was planning on using a vertical line laser in a black box to take the pictures. I'm assuming there's a filter that can help.

I know this question requires rather specialized knowledge, but if anyone has that knowledge, it's Lemmy.

I can calf raise as much as I can squat, yet I have pretty small calves relative to my thighs/glutes. What's the deal? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm guessing the answer is leverage, but I have no clue.
