If tech for you means software, then yes, you can decouple from global supply chains with relative ease.

If, however, you look into some other areas of tech a different picture emerges. Global dependencies especially in semiconductors are much deeper. Products built from such components are the same. Decoupling in those domains would be significantly more difficult.

Tories have an amazing hit rate in selecting deplorables as their leader.

Feature, not a bug.

And just to be clear, I boot from the SSD and don’t use an SD card at all.

RaspberryPi + USB connected SSD would be my recommendation for HomeAssistant. Using an SSD reduces the risk of SD card flaking

My first thought seeing the captain is Russian was sabotage. And maybe a second later I realised the more likely cause: vodka.

One of the best ones I ever got was an ‘engineer’ who described driving around in his van ‘fixing things’ applying for a machine learning engineer position.

We have enough twats as it is, so perhaps fuck off.

Obviously they were too busy lining their and mates’ pockets, and in general being totally useless politicians.

This person made the exact same comment about Lemmy a while back. He (or she) continues to talk shit and is not worth responding to.

Shipyards started cutting steel for the first aircraft carrier before the design was finalised. This was done (according to some) to make it harder for the incoming Government to cancel the project.

They didn’t cancel the project and instead requested a major design change to support higher performance fighter planes (catapult instead of STOVL), only to reverse that decision when they saw the ultimate price tag. The result was the mother of all project change request queues.

Yeah, that project too was delayed a bit and went somewhat over budget

Same. Also, software in their cars, apps and supporting infrastructure is shite.

For me it’s primarily BBC news both on TV and their web site. Some news also comes to me via Lemmy. Lately I’ve been wondering whether The Guardian subscription would be worth the money.

I’d suggest proper rock’n’roll from Wales by Those Damn Crows

Ugh ugh ugh!

As Al Murray once noted, first cross-channel flight was completed on July 25th, 1909 by Louis Blériot. Development of anti-aircraft gun began on July 26th, 1909.

It would appear you were all wooshed.

Why would people even use alt accounts?

Solar + local battery is the way. We should push hard to make that affordable for as many people as possible.
