Mythbusters lifted a 2 ton car using a consumer grade vacuum cleaner. the math is this: the air pressure over 1 sq meter is about 10 tonnes, so if make a box with that area and reduce the pressure by 0.25 atm, you get a…
Countries with sane laws include a tolerance limit to take into account flaws in speedometers and radars. Here in Brazil, the tolerance is 10%, so tickets clearly state "driving at speed 10% above limit".
The last thing we need is more enshitification on this space. I just migrated my selfhosted email server to Hetzner and I don't want them turning into monstrosity like AWS or Azure, with theit miriad of ways to nickel…
Having both screens on the outside doesn't let you use the main cameras when folded, Apple would never do that.
It's much easier to smuggle a USB drive with Windows updates than it is a few tonnes of metal. Then China will switch a billion desktops to Linux and the US will still need rare earths.
If China has a monopsony on soy beans, then they nogociate from a position if power, because the US either sells on their terms or see the beans rot.
Many banks and Fintechs here offer this, the trick is that you need to open a local office, so you have a Brazilian subsidiary with a CNPJ number in order to open a bank account and receive the money.
There are plenty of companies in Brazil that offer PIX payments to foreign e-shops. Valve has been accepting PIX for some time now, for example.
Pix is free for natural persons and individual entrepreneurs. For businesses, receiving is free, but they pay a fee to send money[0], this can vary from one institution to another. [0]…
Some languages do it way more frequently. Take my native Portuguese. Brazil had 3 ortographic reforms in the 20th century, while Portugal had 5 in the same period, all before the "Ortographic Accord" of 1990, that…
That's good for small rewinds, but with a Bic pen, you can rewind the whole tape as fast (maybe even faster than some) ad a tape deck. Just slide the pen in the spool and start spinning the cassete. Like this:…
It's such a versatile product. I bet everyone here who's older than 45/50 have at least once used a Bic pen to rewind a cassete tape. I also used the plastic clip as a stapler remover. There were many other uses for it,…
Brazilian punk rock band Garotos Podres (Rotten Kids) recorded a song called "Papai Noel Filho da P#*&@" (Santa Claus Son of a B&#£¢). It's an Anarcho-Socialist anthem that exposes how Santa is a "capitalist pig" that…
A large enough telescope in space, with a coronagraph could, in teory, find such planets by direct imaging. Right now, I believe only JWST fits the bill, but using it for this purpose would interfere with other types of…
Taiwanese law forbids TSMC manufacturing chips abroad using their latest process, so no 2nm in the US fabs,this leaves Intel's 18A as the mist advanced one in US soil.

Interesting fact, Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Sivuca[0], was from the same region of the country, played the same instruments in the same styles as Hermeto and was Albino too. They were frequently…
The article says Google is paying Reddit to get the data directly from their firehose API, so they wont even bother crawling the public website.
There are plenty of valuable stuff we need on the asteroid belt. Going straight there from Earth would be much more difficult and expensive than launching from Mars. A self sustaining Martian colony would serve as a…

Yes, and it supports Sponsor Block, to skip promotions built into the videos, like those annoying VPN sponsorships.
The pipe used to drink it is made of silver and the thing is really hot. Drinkers believe it sterilizes the liquid, unfortunately, the Hep-B virus is tolerant to both. Brazil's Minister of Health records frequent…

I like Ansible, but that doesn't mean thera are no pain points. One of them is handling "if-this-then-that-else-that". Being purely declarative, Ansible is horrible at that. Pyinfra can be used in imperative mode, am I…
And it was highly vulnerable to denial of service attacks. It didn't check if the mailbox was valid during the envelope phase, so it would queue basicaly everything, then check the mailbox and send a bounce if…
