Almost 40 artillery units destroyed?! I really hope that russia is going to finally grind itself down with this stupid endeavour.

Reiterating why I find so many magazine to be trash nowadays.

Overly set up for SEO, poorly researched and often just crammed with shitty ads. That they completely neglected the formats used by pirating and home content speaks volumes.

That's why I now often prefer to just look up stuff on enthusiast forums, Reddit or to some extent Lemmy. The last hasn't gotten as good of an integration with search engines.

Those motors are just incredible. That they can haul a drone of this small size while carrying a heavy round t speed without melting is just mad.

I'm not sure about ATMs, they often ran OS/2.

Windows CE often ran media centres or UI panels in things like John Deere tractors or the Fiat 500.

It was also the OS that ran the Dreamcasts UI.

Not sure what's scarier, a the sound of a little terror drone before an explosion. Or the silence, the feeling of security that there's nothing on a recently cleared path and then seeing my mates vehicle blow up.

It's jist amazing that this drone is still flying!

[–] MeshPotato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yup. One issue from long storage is that the fuel in solid fuel rockets can start to separate. Ryan McBeth did an explanation on a possible cause on that AA missile failure.

As you mentioned, some explosives also become unpredictable. The Takata airbags sending shrapnel into drivers faces comes to mind.

I suspect the failure rate goes up. Have you seen the video of the Russian AA missile pretending to be a boomerang 🪃 and flying back to its launch point?

That's what can happen with old rockets.

Successful denazification and demilitrization

Of Russians.

[–] MeshPotato@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Not quite the Ukrainians changing focus. Russia launched a big assault on Avdiivka.

A lot of that is equipment that russia sent into the meat grinder.

Thanks for looking into it. It's just standard TA with mods. I'm sure it can be made to run even more if you buy the steam version.

Linus mentioned in one interview that Steam does amazing work for Linux adoption on the desktop.

The problem is simply that standard Linux software is still a lot of work to get going and maintain. Work I just don't have time for.

I tried wine recently to see if I can get Total Annihilation to work. I played with Wine in the mid 2000's and gotten office 2003 to run on Suse then.

OMFG the mess when I recently tried to just run a simple exe that doesn't even need a full installation.

Adobe sadly don't just make Photoshop which is a remarkably good product. Even more so with their new features. I use Lightroom and nothing that exists for Linux comes close. All that needs some serious GPU integration.

DaVinci resolve is amazing and a real alternative to Premiere. The problem I see is binary compatibility. Even Linus admits that the Linux desktop has a problem with that.

I do have high hopes for web tech to evolve enough to make cross platform a thing again. Maybe ChromeOS will help there. VS Code is a good example here. With WebGl Vulkan in the browser and OpenCL that should become viable soon.
