Elon Musk Says First Neuralink Patient Can Move Computer Cursor With Mind in c/technology@lemmy.world

Nuh uh, I'm pretty sure he said 'mouse', not cursor. So, that could mean two things.

Because AI and Crypto use so much electricity, what if a law was made that they had to power it with green energy? in c/technology@lemmy.world

Something topic-adjacent is going down in BC, Canada right now.

We had a large timber company that branched out into crypto mining, augmented with solar. They made an absolute killing with this pivot, and wanted to expand. But need a metric fuck-ton of electricity. The local utility company denied them, citing their own issues with keeping up with demand in the near future. The timber company sued them, and I think it settled to this:

Choppier on Pixel 8 Pro versus Pixel 6? (lemmy.world)

Anyone else come from a regular Pixel 6 over to a Pixel 8 Pro notice that the games are a bit choppier?

I suppose it's the higher resolution.. but you would think that the increase in processing power would have been in lockstep with the increase in resolution. Or maybe it's something else. Ideas?

Edit: huh, noticing scrolling stuttering here in Lemmy Sync, where I didn't notice it on the Pixel 6 😳

Simple cutoff switch for 3-pin? CRV driving me crazy (lemmy.world)

I'm looking to install some cutoff switch on this 3-pin connector. It almost looks like a PC 4-pin 12v connector, but it actually connects to a Broan CRV motor. Specific model is the L150L.

I originally wanted a ventilator with a timer, but they installed an inline CRV (intake only) with a crazy 150CFM for a tiny 480sqft suite. Massively overkill, and loud. I'd prefer to put this on a timer, or even better would be a smart switch control. But at the very least a manual switch would be great.

For now, and for the last two years, I just have this unplugged, as shown in the image. The passive ventilation on the connected ducting has been more than enough to turn the air around. But sometimes it'd prefer to enable the intake for a time. I just can't have it on all the time because the air turnaround is nutty, not to mention the blast of cold air in the middle of winter.

Any ideas for a switch that fits this connector, or a DIY switch, and/or something to hook to a timer, OR smart switch somehow?

Periwinkle Question (lemmy.world)

Noob here. I haven't planted any perennials, except a peony. Until this year, with a row of periwinkle that I'm attempting to grow up both sides of a lattice. It's working out pretty awesome. They're maybe 20 inches tall, weaving back and forth through horizontal slats.

I want to keep the party going next year, but I'm unable to find out if periwinkle will continue growing in the new year, or if the whole stem dies and has to grow from scratch. I'm aware this question totally unveils how ignorant I am about flowers. Hahah
