What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

America (go figure) has a whole industry for prison electronics, and they're see-through so nothing can be hidden inside. Try to import some of that if you want it today.
Yeah no, some of us foreigners tend to be squeamish about products of slave labor..
Those prison gadgets are also of very poor quality, and extrenrly overpriced (like everything related to the American prison complex).
I got a see-through backplate for my Steam Deck the other day. My kids immediately: Reminds me of your gameboy.
Am I going to get to be 16 again? Oh thank god. I am sick of this grey hair, and bad back, and.... takes mid-sentence nap .....sorry. I dozed off. When you get to be my age, you just really stop wanting to be here, and stop giving a shit. Plus I like naps.
You'll even be able to tie an onion to your belt.
That was the style at the time...

I'd argue that you wouldn't feel as much like that if we didn't have such an oppressive economic system
I'm all for it if it also means having enough time to stop the Bush v Gore debacle from happening, thus likely avoiding 9/11 and thus a huge chunk of all the shittiest things to happen to the world in this millennium.
and thus a huge chunk of all the shittiest things to happen to the world in this millennium.
You can just say "pineapple on pizza". We know what you mean by that.
Pretty sure that was introduced some time in the 70s or 80s. Plus it's delicious 😁
After watching John Oliver's report on the FAA, I think there might be something to this new y2k. FAA is using equipment made in the 1800's.
Haven't we solved this? Most things use 64 bit dates, let our billionth generation deal with it.
Such a boomer mentality
Most things use 64 bit dates
I'm not even sure if 64 pieces of bitten fruit are enough to make a calendar. Aren't there 365 days? 🤔
The problem is, even if it were solved for 99% of systems, 1% of systems crashing is still a massive problem.
But yeah, I also don't believe that it is solved for 99% of systems. There's a ton of embedded systems all over the place, which are easy to forget about.
For a limited definition of “solved”, sure. I recommend looking at the article for the dates that commonly used systems have solved the problem. Most are very recent, and changes like this take a very long time to adopt.
Looks at every embedded system ever
Not if you are using an Oracle database.
I’ll get the bathtub prefilled with water, just in case.
