Excellent Radiolab episode about this. Pretty interesting https://radiolab.org/podcast/goo-and-you
Still got October and November too
Zardoz@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•France halts iPhone 12 sales over radiation levelsEnglish11·2 years agoA Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 5.2 W/kg technically does exceed limits and device manufacturers agree to meet regulations. However, SAR values are not constant and can vary with real-world usage. Phones often operate at lower power levels, reducing actual SAR exposure.
A weak microwave, for theoretical comparison, would likely put out hundreds of Watts per kg.
People are way more likely to get heat damage from the battery than the radio waves from a cellphone

Anyone got any spare money to buy ads on reddit? I know it’s giving them money but maybe it’ll help bring more over

For work I always seem to somehow pull miracles out of my ass, but only last minute. It’s likely that days of panic and anxiety are what fuel my miracle powers

Zardoz@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says - CBS News9·2 years agoI’m willing to bet that not one single wealthy person benefiting from these tax cuts thought: “Hey cool I’ll pass the money I saved from these tax cuts down to the less fortunate”
Can’t speak for everyone but here are the reasons I prefer an actual jack:
-
3.5mm headphones are extremely universal and can be used for any audio device. USB-C and Bluetooth headphones cannot
-
Bluetooth is extremely inconsistent when paired with multiple devices and often gets disconnected because of competing devices
-
I can’t charge my phone and listen to USB c headphones at the same time
-
Manufacturers claim the removal of the jack was to improve the water resistance. I have never dropped my phone in water and would be willing to risk it.
-
I already have too many wireless things to charge
-
I have a small stockpile of broken wireless headphones. Meanwhile my 10 year old wired headphones are collecting dust
-
I have never lost something more often than that tiny ass USB to 3.5mm dongle adapter
-
I distrust large corporations with incentive to get consumers to buy more stuff from them

Impact can’t pay my fucking debt
I think it’s more just reducing the overload, not really hiding. An information vacation.

Everyone thinks I’m crazy, but for as long as I can remember I can usually stop mild twitches by just thinking about it. They sometimes come back after a few minutes but usually not.
That’s probably the only superpower I have.

Pour billions more into lobbying the government until they pass something that will allow certain exemptions.
Think I won’t upvote this? I upvoted cans of beans. Have an upvote.
Honestly I kinda wish it would give shorter answers unless I ask for a lot of detail. I can use those custom instructions but it’s tedious difficult to tune that properly.
Like if I ask it ‘how to do XYZ in blender’ it gives me a long winded response, when it could have just said ‘Hit Ctrl-Shift-Alt-C’
