According to the open-source intelligence (OSINT) site Molfar, Ukraine has sunk or damaged nearly 60 ships of the Russian Navy.
How, for fuck sake, Russia managed to lose 60 ships to a country that has NO NAVY ?!?
Holy! Shit!

I read this as “We’re not competitive on a global market anymore, so let’s retreat into an shrinking niche, until we’re gone or someone buys us”.
Sure, they can’t compete in price, considering Chinese subsidies, but how about competing in the upper market, with quality and sophistication… Oh, wait… those are US car makers. They wouldn’t know quality if it smacked them in the face.
Well, then. Leave the low end to China and the high end to Germany and Japan then.
Which means Russia has to move assets from other parts of the country to replace the destroyed equipment, creating gaps Ukraine can exploit, This reinforces the idea of how fragile Russia’s defenses are
Even on ideal conditions (close to the Equator, no clouds) like in Northeast Brazil, you only get 5.5 to 6.0 kWh/m^2 of Solar energy, which means the roof of a small car, with 1 m^2 of solar panels, would only generate that amount of electricity if they were 100% efficient. That’s just 10% of the battery capacity of a small EV, like a BYD Dolphin.
My point is, even if solar panels doubled their efficiency, they would still only capture about half the energy of the Sun (currently, the best panels are at 24% efficiency), which means only about 2.5 to 3.0 kWh per day.
I was wrong in one thing, it hasn’t been a thing for 10 years, but for 20. It was determined by the Minister of Justice, based on article 55 of the Consumer Protection Code. More here. I remember seeing some warnings on labels back when the rule was new. My opinion is that companies got smarter and realized that those warnings were damaging to their brands, so they just stopped with the practice of shrinking products, which is why you never noticed.
This has been the law in Brazil for more than 10 years now. We have lots of problems here, but at least our consumer protection laws are top notch. And, believe or not, they’re enforced successfully.
Taiwan, not PRC. Mainland China isn’t capable of making CPUs and GPUs whith the performance and low power draw needed for a portable console in the volumes necessary. They brute-forced their way into a 7nm process, but it’s expensive and low yields, so they’re using it only for crypto mining ASICs and Huawei phones.
To make a console like the Steam Deck, they would need an AMD64 chip on 5nm. Granted, Zhaoxin does have a licence for X86 architecture (inherited from Via, who got it when they bought Cirix), but they’re still far from being able to make those in 7 or 5nm.
Meanwhile, TSMC in Taiwain is already shipping 3nm chips for Apple and soon for AMD too.
Unless China figures out Extreme UV, like in the ASML machines, or direct stamping, like in recently announced Canon machines, they won’t be competitive with Intel, TSMC or Samsung anytime soon.
It’s very easy to screw up distilation. If the temperture is not carefully controlled and you miss the points to discard the head and tails, you end up with lighter (like methanol) and heavier (like propanol or butanol) alcohols, all of them much more toxic than good old ethanol.
Fuck it ! I’m buying the game again. I have it on GOG and Google Play Store and now I’m buying it on Steam too, for no other reason than reward ConcernedApe for his amazing work.
I use Heimdall too, with a bunch of other things. One of them is Pihole.
Pihole will not only help blocking ads at DNS level, it will also work as DHCP server and resolve localy configured addresses, like homepage.ourhome.
Put it on your network and disable the DHCP feature in your WiFi router/firewall (you may need to explicitly set it to forward DHCP to Pihole).
One warning, do not set up names like host.local. the TLD .local is reserved it will cause issues.
Which means several years of development ahead to have working silicon, and that would mean AMD64 v1, which Windows and many libraries/application in Linux doesn’t support anymore.
In Debian Unstable, for example, ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 reports that it only supports v2, v3 and v4. v3 architecture , so CPUs from Buldozer/Nehalen generation or later. That version of the architecture will still be protected for a few more years.
Since both Intel and AMD are competitors on both CPU and GPU markets, Nvidia’s only option is Zhaoxin, a joint venture between Via Technologies (who has a license for box X86 and AMD64) and Shanghai municipality.
Failing that, they would have to go with ARM and emulation, which would come with a performance penalty, or separate CPU and GPU chips, which would make the devices bigger and less power efficient than competing models with APUs.
In conclusion, don’t hold your breath. This talk about Nvidia handheld PCs is just to appease their shareholders and create FUD on AMD and Intel ones.
Being even more pedantic, KVM is the hypervisor, QEMU is a wrapper around it and Proxmox provides a management interface to it.
Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding
No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,
Thanks for the explanation, I learned something new today.
That’s because it detonated in orbit, so it interacted with Earth magnetic field. Far from the planet, I think there wouldn’t be an EMP, unless the targeted ship has it’s own magnetosphere. But I’m not a nuclear physicist, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
Even if it was fully operational, Western artillery used by Ukraine is more precise with longer range than Russian, so they can target the ruskies with less risk.
To give you an idea how poor this makes them, the largest municipality in my country, São Paulo, has a GDP of $170B. Yes, that’s right, one city in Brazil has more than 3X North Korea’s GDP.
Hell, Microsoft paid more than that for ActiBlizzard… North Korea is pathetic, the only reason it still exists is China, that wants them there as a buffer between them and US allies South Korea and Japan.
Well, Russia could send the Baltic Fleet to the Tsushima Straight in order to fight the Japanese: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=yzGqp3R4Mx4
That site is likely written by AI, so is no surprise that it makes such stupid mistakes.
According to which constitution Melon ? You do realize that Brazil is a sovereign country and we have our own constitution right ? You know, the one that has explicit protections against hate speech, discrimination and harassment ?
Also, do you really think you know more about our constitution than a fucking Supreme Court Minister ?
You’re pathetic, Elmo.
