@freemo @thor That explains why I wasn't able to hit targets with an M16A2 style rifle and iron sights. I suspected it had something to do with my corrective lenses. Before the corrective lenses I could easily hit paper plates with the same rifle at 100m.

Can you see better in the dark than other people too? That is without glasses.

@freemo Especially if one includes the Intellectual Property used.

All of my most prolific chance encounters have been with old dudes alone by a lake peeling an apple.

One such incident I recall and I still use his knowledge to this day. Never dont not listen to an old dude in the woods, they are wise as fuck :)

@freemo @lonelyowl The balance between the two is Military adoption or maybe convincing IBM that Microsoft will suffer.

@DrBonesMD @freemo @GW@newsie.social The tax Bezos pays is not having a space program and waking up to that every day.

@freemo @DrBonesMD @GW@newsie.social You could always get them good gear and have a private militia. Start your own security contactor company and they would have jobs, money and belong to something greater.

@freemo @thor My glasses haven't changed in almost 20 years. I still have 20/10 with my glasses. My old optometrist told me that his goal when giving kids glasses was to give them greater than average sight.

If feeling self conscious just remember that our older bodies might have more testosterone.

if i ask for information about a news event, don't send me a damned opinion piece. let me see what happened. i'll form my own opinion.

@thor The government just wants to make sure that the news is presented in a way that people can understand.

Wait, what?

Cygwin can detect my tape drive and put it to /dev/st0?

Now I'm going to read the 9th chapter of tar manual.

@thendrix I believe it's in the SoC or GPU code. I know that with QCom it is usually in the weird thing called Hexagon. It's like a GPU doing DSP instructions and using VLIW instructions.

With an AMD CPU I believe it has a DSP for audio on the die and Intel should be similar. If it was a comment about it not being implemented then it should be possible to pipe the audio and process it in real time. I presume it would take hardware calls or modified permissions.

@thendrix I think you would need to be around 6ft under the surface with a conductive and well grounded shell. The air gap between the inner and outer structure would need to be calculated. Operation and maintenance would be more troublesome than implementation.

The biggest issue with an EMP is really the miles of electrical infrastructure delivering the fatal blow to electronics. It's possible that a basement could work as long as the power supply isn't connected to mains.

After that last solar flare maybe I should look into an underground air-gapped server room.

@thendrix @MrAndyNgo Maybe it was just a fetish and a consensual heavily assisted unalive act.
