China’s Nuclear-Powered Containership: A Fluke Or The Future Of Shipping?
Nuclear powered ships are not a new thing. They've been around for decades. They would benefit our emission a lot. Let's hope that they will be allowed in the ports around the world, this has been the greatest limitation so far. Convincing general population that nuclear can be safe is no easy feat.

I thought they started from the idea of creating an affordable device mostly for people that need and can't afford a proper computer... I guess money gave them amnesia

home is where you know how to adjust the shower....
I got a thermostatic shower mixer from ikea and it's awsome. Just set your preffered temp and it will make sure it stays that way. It wasn't even that expensive. I wish more people knew about it.

Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to finally go mobile
Firefox nightly on android supported desktop extensions for quite some time. It wasn't that easy to install them, but once I did they worked fine. Maybe a bit more slugish than on pc, but that's expected given the resources limitations on mobile.

Usb is a carrying digital signals for the most part while headphonea are analog. So you have 2 options:
Both options prevent you from chanrging while using headphones unless you use a splitter or wireless charging which is not ideal
3.5 mm may not be the king, but it's extremly simple and fairly robust and has little to no disatvantages except for wireless headphones sales ofc. You don't have to charge these heqdphones, you don't have to worry about losing one of them.
Wireless headphonwa have their uses, I doubt they benefit the majority of people tho.

Keeping internet of shit devices on separate vlan is a good practice, but the apps on your phone still gather your data.
For the robot vacuum, when it brakes, you can look into valetudo supported models. It's a firmware hack that kills the cloud component and exposes it through a local http server, works very well. As for the dishwasher you could probably use a localy controlled smart socket with power monitoring to send a notification via home assistant when the power draw goes below certain threshold. Either zigbee/z-wave socket if you have other smart devices on these protocols, or a wifi tasmota device can work.
This may be a bit too far for some, but I believe we should keep our data safe, and if this is what it takes, then I am doing it.

Europe is not one homogenous continent. Here in Europe where I am they are not common, and I've been to at least 2 other countries here in Euorpe where these mixers were not common.

Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support

Except that you can keep upgrading windows or just install linux and be up to date with the security patches for like 10+ years, your phone runs out of support in like 5-6 years in the best case and then good luck using these banking apps securely.

This... Also my water already comes at 10C in the summer, even less in the winter... Any colder and you'd have to bite and chew it rather than drink...

Modern consumer logic

Here in Romania that is unheard of. The courier will personally hand it to the recipient. If you are not home, you have the option to redirect it to a different address, courier HQ or some local stores that they have contract with. And even so, they ask for a verification code you get via sms in the morning. It's very unlikely to lose a package.

Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands

Because Reddit unites everyone with the same interest in a single or at worst few subreddits. Lemmy has over 9000 instances with a bunch of communities each, half of which are defederating the other half without their users even knowing. If we thought reddit search was bad, lemmy search is non-existent. I really wanted lemmy to work, but even for someone with decent knowledge about tech it was a nightmare to figure this out. The main advantage of fediverse which is the decentralization turned out to be its main disadvantage with so much fragmentation and censorship in the form of defederation...

USB tunneling

That may help in the case of a properly installed usb port, but what if the port is upside down? Or what if it's a vertical port? Is upside left or right?

Unfortunately you'll be waiting for a while. SSDs were at the lowest last year to the point that manufacturers were almost losing money. So they reduced production. We will only see the prices going up from now, at least for a while.

Girl, 15, speaks out after classmate made deepfake nudes of her and posted online

When you put out photos of yourself on the internet you should expect anyone to find them and do whatever they want to them. If you aren't expecting that, then you aren't educated enough on how internet works and that's what we should be working on. Social media is really bad for privacy and many people are not aware of it.
Now if someone took a picture of you and then edited it without your consent, that is a different action and it's a lot more serious offense.
Either way, deepfakes are just an evolution of something that already existed before and isn't going away anytime soon.

Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade

The idea with the jack is convenience tho. Including the jack won't take much space and it's just convenient. You wanna take a quick phone call while doing stuff around the house, plug the headphones in and good to go, no worries about battery or connection loss. You still have the type C for the digital audio. A hybrid analog/SPDIF would be even cooler, some laptops and sound cards do it
