Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•What the engineers of the 14th OMBr invented and are doing brings a lot of trouble to the enemy.
7·2 years agoThose 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.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Brave1 developers created a ground-based kamikaze robot "Ratel S" for the Ukrainian military. It can carry anti-tank mines at a speed of 24 km/h, with a range of 6 km.
1·2 years agoNot 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.
Yup. Been there, done that :) Although, if you come in as a Westerner, I do recommend buying a genuine Honda. The hassles your save yourselves compared to the cheap Chinese clones are worth the “premium”.
Mind you, you can buy good used bikes for well below 500 USD. A new Wave 110i is just under 1100 USD in Thailand.
Workhorse. Looks to me like a clone of a Honda Wave 125.
I guess it’s “built” to haul some really heavy loads. Is it me or is one rear shock bent?
I’ve never been to Hawaii but lived in South East Asia.
The big question I have is: how fast are they riding? Are they puttering around, barely breaking 40kmh which is a speed you can reach as a cyclist?
That’s very different to the squids you see on 1000cc bikes racing up and down at 70-160kmh weaving between cars.

NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•It has truely been a non credible dayEnglish
5·2 years agoVery important russian airfield attacked. The air defence can’t do s#1t about it and all that’s needed are a few missiles from the 90s!

NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•rapid airborne deployable folding-wing 3D-printed attritable munitions carriersEnglish
10·2 years agoThat guy builds drones like no-one else’s business.
I wish Australia and more countries would invest into small businesses that can build these kind of drones.
The cost to to effectiveness ratio of these is just insane. Ukraine has proven the effectiveness of loitering munitions.
Edit: Fixed typo and grammar.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•The wreckage of an ATACMS MGM-140A missile in Berdiansk
3·2 years agoYup. 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.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•The wreckage of an ATACMS MGM-140A missile in Berdiansk
3·2 years agoI 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.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•War in Ukraine Latest: Putin Claims Avdiivka Success, Evidence Suggests Otherwise
3·2 years agoSuccessful denazification and demilitrization
Of Russians.
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.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Microsoft might want to be making Windows 12 a subscription OS, suggests leak
1·2 years agoThanks 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.

1·2 years agoI 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.

[Dormant] moved to [email protected]@lemmy.world•Two soldiers holding hands, Vietnam, 1971English
103·2 years agoIt’s such an amazing country.
I’m so conflicted over what happened there, and it’s only getting more complicated the more I know about it.
Essentially people just wanting to be left alone, but the country getting torn by multiple groups.
French colonizers who’s time was ending. The Soviets who took the opportunity to spread chaos to weaken the west and bring communism. The russians are doing similar shit now, particularly in Africa.
And the USA who wanted to stop that and get their influence over the country in an extremely brutal fashion.
Only to later to also have issues with the Khmer Rouge. Now China is encroaching onto them.

71·2 years agoI buy a lot off eBay. Not that they’re perfect, but at least they’re not owned by Bezoz.
MeshPotato@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Cartoons are too 'woke' these daysEnglish
111·2 years agoThe question is, who’s responsible?
The deep state? Karen? Vaccines? Maybe their bones don’t ring because of 5g?!
Isn’t the deep state responsible for the latter 2 anyway?

6·2 years agoHave you used a gpu intensive application in a VM with good performance?
Adobe software quite heavily relies on cuda or OpenCL.
Yeah that sucks on a lovely Goldwing. Sadly tip overs happen to the best of us. At least in this case it was the wind. I drop my bike manoeuvring out of my garage. Usually because the kick stand goes up just enough to not hold tue bike when I try to put in on the stand (I have to move it from the right as the wall is on the left).
I hope a replacement pannier isn’t going to be too expensive🤞if you intend on fixing the scratches.
Maybe it’s an opportunity for customization with vinyl decals? Make it truly your own. Maybe a map where you mark all the places you’ve ridden so far?





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