Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How are newer cars (gas/hybrid) supposed to sound?7·1 year agoIf you get a plug-in hybrid then low speeds might also have a pedestrian safety sound which is a humming that gets louder until 24 km an hour which is when it will shut off because the car road noise is then loud enough to be audible to pedestrians.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a word for the phenomena where everyone benefits from design decisions made to help vulnerable populations?18·1 year agoNot to mention the ramp is easier to clean off and less dangerous once you clear and sand/salt it.
Not that these are not worth the money because they definitely are, but he gives his books away for free online on his own website. https://craphound.com/ is the site.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Recommend me a wireless earphones/headset with good audio...that is PINK in colorEnglish2·1 year agoWhat is really interesting is that I can put comfortable earplugs in to cut outside sounds off and put the bone conduction earphones on and can still hear my music perfectly. I was in a 20 seater turboprop plane over the weekend and with the earplugs in and music going I could barely hear the engine.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•RTO doesn’t improve company value, but does make employees miserable: StudyEnglish42·1 year agoI’m leaving my management job in the city next month to move north 6 hours away and live in a small town with a mortgage that will be half as much for an acre instead of a townhouse with no grass. I wrote a proposal to do a order entry job for less money but work from home but my boss wants everyone in order entry to work in the office. So they chose to lose 9 years of company and product knowledge because they don’t want me to work from home in case people who have been there less time might want to work from home too.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Oddly Satisfying@lemmy.world•Perfect Peel at the 11'8" BridgeEnglish11·1 year agoI think a giant swing arm with a large hooked spike on the receiving end would be best. Hit the arm with your over height load and the spike swings around and catches/destroys your trailer before you can wreck the bridge.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Oddly Satisfying@lemmy.world•Perfect Peel at the 11'8" BridgeEnglish3·1 year agoAfter more than 30 truck hits on overpasses in BC this last year the only viable solution in my opinion is to put a device just ahead of the overpasses flashes lights to tell other vehicles to get away from the truck, then stop the truck with a spike strip before it can do tens of millions of dollars of damage to infrastructure.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that the white stuff that sometimes appears on chocolate is called "chocolate bloom".English1·1 year agoI just used the work address and different unit number but it always came to the same place.this was 24 years ago so the didn’t have Google maps to check.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that the white stuff that sometimes appears on chocolate is called "chocolate bloom".English0·1 year agoThis how I used to get free chocolate bars. When it was hot out the vending machine at my work would warm the chocolate bars causing them to bloom, Effem and complain about my Mars bars and they would send me a coupon for for each chocolate bars. I would do it every month to a different address.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Recommend me a wireless earphones/headset with good audio...that is PINK in colorEnglish31·1 year agoShockz bone conducting headphones have a two tone pink version of their high end Openrun Pro and their lower end Openmove has a pink/white version.
It is nice to hear music but still hear your surroundings for safety.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Air Canada must honor refund policy invented by airline’s chatbotEnglish33·1 year agoI once had a charge for Air Canada on my credit card. I immediately called in to the fraud number and said my number had been stolen. They asked me how I knew. I said I would never in my life fly on Air Canada unless there was no choice. They laughed and canceled the charge.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Prime Video drops Dolby Vision and Atmos unless you pay extraEnglish332·1 year agoEnshittification
First, they make a service good for the customer even at a loss so customers don’t want to go other places. ✅
Second, they use the information gathered from you to sell to companies to make money off you. In Amazon’s case they are now so big they don’t need to sell your info but they do it anyways. ✅
Third, they screw the companies and the users to make the money all for themselves. In Amazon’s case they fuck sellers by making Amazon branded copies of best selling items to cut their third party stores out of business by putting their copies first in the search results.✅
Read Cory Doctorow’s books about enshittification.(also read his fiction, Little Brother, for a great fast paced dystopian terrorist novel.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Wi-Fi jamming to knock out cameras suspected in nine Minnesota burglaries -- smart security systems vulnerable as tech becomes cheaper and easier to acquireEnglish3·1 year agoWhat system do you have and how many cameras. We are moving north and I wanted to get a POE system and am looking for recommendations. Obviously Costco has some options but they are going to be pretty basic and have iffy reviews.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Canada declares Flipper Zero public enemy No. 1 in car-theft crackdownEnglish2·1 year agoThere is a good CBC Marketplace video where they went to Africa somewhere and found all these cars for sale, checked the gloveboxes and found the insurance papers, then called the people who’s cars were stolen.
Here it is: https://youtu.be/gshyozP-GY8?si=oSVlA9MqVq8NVlo-
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk's Neuralink implants brain tech in human patient for the first timeEnglish653·1 year agoHow long until the first subjects start beating their skulls against a wall like the chimps did?
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How long will food be safe to eat if frozen immediately after cooking it?2·1 year agoThis is the best idea but not bothering with the slow defrost. Just low heat with lard in a pan, stirring until it defrosts then heat until it is at the desired temperature.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•B.C. police secretly took DNA from Kurdish community in tea-cup sting to solve murderEnglish4·1 year agoIf they randomly decided on checking the Kurdish community for a suspect then it might be more questionable but they had DNA from sperm found in the dead body of a 13 year old that matched markers found in Kurdish people.
I’m more surprised that they didn’t find that the DNA had matches to the victim since they were siblings but they didn’t mention anything about that in the article.
Calibre for my Kobo, Librera FD on my phone.
