For the price of one 5090 you could build 2-3 midrange gaming PCs lol. It's crazy that anyone would even consider buying it unless they're rich or actually need it for something important.

I promise, I'll end up setting up a public instance that does not obey any deletions because of these madlads. Seriously, where is pushshift for lemmy?
Yeah this is a really good idea; I've been wanting to do it but haven't had the time to configure everything. You'd need to hide which instance it actually is though, or other instances would just defederate from it. Maybe set up a website where you can plop in a post/comment URL and see the deleted contents.
I'll get around to it one of these days...
Don't use sketchy VPN apps, at all. The fact that they're Chinese owned is irrelevant.
Seems like all the links are broken, also why the hell would I pay for a compass app? Gramophone seems good though.
The switch on the back of the PC is there for a reason!

Asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 1.94% chance to hit the Moon (according to my own calculations)
(fedia.io)
Hi, I thought I'd share this here since it isn't being covered by any news sources. It's mostly my own research and calculations, so it could be completely wrong, but I'm fairly confident it's correct.
Most of you probably heard about the asteroid 2024 YR4, which briefly reached a 3.1% chance of Earth impact before its orbit was further constrained and the chance dropped to zero. What you may not have heard is that the chance of lunar impact has actually been steadily rising. No organization is currently reporting lunar impact statistics, so I've been calculating the probability myself. I've created a Desmos calculator that you can easily plug the approach data from NASA into. As of now it's sitting at 1.94%, with the nominal approach being less than one lunar radius from the surface of the Moon (just 0.058 sigma from the closest approach).
This is the impact corridor for the Moon, as viewed from Earth. An impact on the near side (very likely) would be visible for an entire hemisphere of the Earth, including North and Central America, the eastern half of Asia, and Australia. Map of locations where the Moon will be visible at the time of impact. I'm not sure exactly how bright an impact would be, but a 45 kg asteroid caused a flash clearly visible to telescopes during a lunar eclipse back in 2019, so I expect an asteroid about 5 million times larger would be quite the show.
A 1.94% chance is still very small, but I'll be keeping my eyes on the data and crossing my fingers for a lunar impact!
Laptops get a pass on overheating under load since they need to be compact, but your desktop should not be overheating even at full load. If it is, the only real solution is to upgrade its cooling system.
