We will see, lol.

Maintaining fusion reaction is not news. The main issue right now is material science to make reactors last and be efficient at the same time. Because well known materials today either last but poison the reaction, or fade away quickly.

If Fedi server owners will start getting legal requests from the Turkish government, they will start banning people too. Or will be forced to close their operations in Turkey.

Any service provider, private or corporate, must comply with the law. Otherwise the service provider will face the consequences.

The problem is that too many believe it’s true.

I don’t understand where the author got the idea that git was production ready in 10 days… Let’s look at git history:

• Official development started on 03.04.2005.
• Git could self host on 07.04.2005.
• Git achieved Torvald’s performance goals on 29.04.2005.
• On 16.06.2005 git was used to release the Linux kernel for the first time. That can be considered the first beta release, which achieved its goals, but wasn’t production ready yet.
• Production ready v1.0 was released on 21.12.2005. That’s waaaaaaaay longer than 10 days.

No good software is released in 10 days.

Git wasn’t production ready in a week though.

Types in BASIC are amazing!

Most OLED HDR TVs peak at over 300W.

People like eating shit and drinking piss. Every fermented food and drink, be it bread or beer, is full of bacteria and yeast shit and piss. Somehow humans find microbe excrements very tasty.

I’m a software dev in Europe for over 20 years, worked in different European countries, had loads of male, female, gay and lesbian colleagues. Zero transes.

It’s called a 3D printer.

I’m talking about regular smart/fitness/sport watches: VivoActive, Venu, Forerunner, Fenix, etc. None of them are dive watches, but they all have the exact same hardware feature set. Battery size and screen resolution are dictated by the watch size and apart from physical dimensions they all are exactly the same.

P.S. My very personal issue is with Forerunner series. 265 has the screen size I want, but 965 has additional MTB sports I need. Sports and watch size are the only fucking difference! Even if I don’t care about the price, I can’t have the watch I want, because Garmin decided to show me a middle finger.

As for apps, Garmin store has some useful apps, which show additional data, and additional sport types, etc, but Garmin shop itself is a bloody cancer. If you want to buy something, most developers opt for a separate PayPal payment or bank transfer, then you need to wait for them to mail you a licence, etc. It’s just a cumbersome piece of shit, which leaves you open to scams, etc.

one model for everything would be quite expensive though given all the extra sensors, better displays, solar charging and stuff the higher end ones have yeah?

That’s the problem with Garmin - it won’t be more expensive. If we ignore optional gimmicks like solar charging, then there are no real hardware differences between VivoActive 5 and Fenix 8 apart from the barometer, which was present in even cheaper VivoActive 3. Depth sensor, for example, is just a software feature of a barometer (you need to calculate depth and altitude differently from the same data).

Garmin is selling software features packaged as different hardware SKUs and charging up to 4x more depending on a feature set. Their product range is extremely large with multiple product families divided into multiple physical products, which all are essentially the same piece of hardware. And today their range is actually more streamlined than it was before.

This is a stark contrast to Apple, for example, where you have one bloody watch and that’s it. Yes, you have different physical sizes to fit different people, you have different materials and finishes to choose from, but when you’re buying an iWatch you’re getting all the features no matter which screen size and arm band you choose.

Garmin should realistically only have two lines of watches - base model which has everything Fenix 8 has for £250-300 to compete with iWatch and advanced model with solar and other gimmicks no one cares about for £650-800 to compete with iWatch Ultra. That’s all.

Garmin is not trying to compete, but Apple and Samsung came and took the market by storm.
