Yeah that was a wild read. Old mate was fairly clear i thought too

What’s it worth?

Yeah that’s exactly what this is. Panic buttons for instant cash

So very few games have made it here in a few years then

Multiple moderators i guess, why mod a group you can’t engage in

I don’t consider myself leftist or rightist. I flip both ways on different issues and the middle on other things.

How ever Lemmy is becoming less tolerant of jokes and any view that doesn’t line up with a moderator’s view on the world.

It took a long time for me to get a ban but it’s happened a couple times now.

Admittedly they’re from .ml

Though some more left leaning communities have gone full on dog like as though it’s Reddit

I’ve had a blast playing it. Beaten it several times and have all the achievements bar two really hard ones.

Depending on the community you’re in, express your support for either isreal or Palestine then put your question after it.

I have noticed that gets everyone’s attention

Turning off notifications in the top menu for certain apps. They come up saying x is connected and I can’t clear that any more.

Turn off Google and bixby rubbish and have it stay off and not come back after every update.

Removing a lot of the bloat apps. Can only disable them now not remove.

They are what come to mind off the top of my head.

Don’t get me wrong there are many things better, but I use my phone for basic shit and liked it the way it was earlier *

Man my s24 can’t do shit I want easily that my s9 could years ago

How the fuck is “Ai” supposed to improve anything

Where i live in a capital city of Australia we can hardly get 50mbs for download and upload. Our countries internet is a joke

I love having the kids on my deck

Yeah exactly, don’t want to pay that price? Sort it yourself. Everyone that complained about the price of shit needs to understand this.

I’m Australian living in Australia and thought we had it.

I’ve met people with them and didn’t once get the impressions they were hard to get

Its abundance of sunlight and heavy investment in solar cell technology has positioned Saudi Arabia well in its transition to becoming a leading exporter of renewable energy. Indeed, solar energy currently makes up more than 80% of the Kingdom’s green energy capacity. However, these cells bring a twisted irony, as their operation exposes them to overheating risks. Cooling systems are therefore necessary, but many depend on electricity.

An international research team led by KAUST Professor Qiaoqiang Gan has designed a potential solution. Their device needs no electricity, as it extracts water from the air using nothing more than gravity and relies on cheap, readily available materials.

Along with keeping the solar cells and other semiconductor technologies cool, the water can be repurposed for irrigation, washing, cooling buildings on which the solar cells are placed, and other applications.

Scientists estimate that the atmosphere contains six times more water than all the fresh water in the rivers combined. “This water can be collected by atmospheric water harvesting technologies,” says Gan.

While these technologies work reasonably well, in arid environments like that of Saudi Arabia they require electricity to harvest practical amounts of water. This demand risks deterring the adoption of solar cells in rural regions of the Kingdom, where electricity infrastructure is costly.

One reason for the low efficiency is that the water adheres to the surface of the harvesting device. Professor Dan Daniel and Shakeel Ahmad, a postdoc in Gan’s group, found that by adding a lubricant coating that is a mix of a commercial polymer and silicon oil, they could collect more water by relying on only gravity.

“A common challenge in atmospheric water harvesting systems is that water droplets tend to remain pinned to the surface [of the device], necessitating active condensate collection. Our coating effectively eliminated pinning, enabling true passive water collection driven by water,” says Ahmad. “Since this system operates entirely on passive radiative cooling, it doesn’t consume any electricity.”

The solution is based on previous technology made by Gan, which he describes as “vertical double-sided architecture.” That system was originally designed to reflect thermal heat back to the sky to keep the solar cells cool but not to capture the water produced.

The new device was tested six times over the span of a year in natural conditions in the town of Thuwal, about 100 km north of Jeddah, and could almost double the rate of water collection compared with alternative atmospheric water harvesting technologies.

Along with Gan and Daniel, KAUST Associate Professor Gyorgy Szekely contributed to the study, which was published in Advanced Materials.

Along with the efficiency of the water collection, Daniel is equally excited about the economic benefits of adoption.

“The system doesn’t consume any electricity, leading to energy savings. Moreover, it doesn’t rely on any mechanical parts like compressors or fans, reducing the maintenance over traditional systems, leading to further savings,” he said.

The first fear game really scared me when I was younger. I was 16 maybe and that’s how I found out I don’t like ghosts haha.

Playing in ym room at night alone in the dark. Ghosts coming out that I can’t hurt haha

Fuck that was bad

The things I hear about this game make me want to play it, then the addiction things I hear make me want to avoid it like the plague haha.

I have a bad habit of hyper fixation on what ever it is I’m into at the time and the rest of my life falls by the way side.

Currently the last two weeks has been pokemon go.

Before that rim world

Before that BG3

KSP

Elden ring

And so on and on.

Thankfully these cycles last only a few weeks then I find something else.

For a while it was the gym, that was great for my health haha

Emails from a website every day? Fuck that I would rather pay to stop them (hyperbole)

Best game of the bunch

So certainly not a meme about the long haired house lady who is trying to defend our rights
