Watt is not a unit of energy, it’s a unit of power [Joules/second]. This definition doesn’t change between kinetic and electrical contexts.

This article essentually summarizes a report from China but doesn’t give the report’s title, authors, or web link. This whole article is hearsay without providing the source material.

Also, why does it read like it was written by a middle schooler with zero technical understanding? You’d expect better quality from a website named “Interesting Engineering.”

“They send out photons whose quantum properties changes once they hit the stealth aircraft. This means that even the false signals generated by the aircraft would not be able to match the properties of the photons emitted by quantum radars.”

Like, what does that even mean? I would check the source material, but I can’t because we’re not told what it is.

Is all journalism this bad these days?

Got it, I’ll try this tomorrow evening. Thanks again for your help so far!

I’m running a desktop with relatively new hardware. Amd 5900x CPU, AMD 7900 GRE GPU, 32 GB ram, plenty of space and good airflow for stable thermals.

The freeze is definitely at least frozen desktop and mouse/keyboard. I also tried changing terminal sessions after a freeze tonight and this had no effect, so it’s probably the whole system?

Good idea with playing sound, I will try this on my next boot.

Debian 12. When the freezing first started, I lied to myself saying it’ll self-correct with time. I’ve since lost track of which timeshift backup to use. I am a silly fool.

And there was no kernel update afaik.

It froze again tonight. Neither ctrl+alt+del spam nor trying to change terminal session worked unfortunately. Seems to be 100% locked up.

Thanks for the comment.

It froze again tonight, I tried ctr+alt+del spam and nadda, no response.

I have not tried changing tty ctrl+alt+fn, but I will in the next session. Same with REISUB (not sure what this is yet).

My first guess for root cause was a ram leak, but my system monitor shows little activity when these crashes/freezes occur. Not that this is a perfect method of ruling this out, but my resource usage doesn’t smell fishy at least.

Whole system freezes unfortunately. The only silver lining is that I know exactly what time the crash occurred, since my clock freezes too!

No red text from journalctl unfortunately. My last few sessions each end with different messages too. One is a KDE Connect warning, a few others echoing some commands I sent in the terminal, etc. No red errors.

The system freezes permanently, requiring a reboot.

I have an AMD GPU, and likely have OpenGL installed.

I’m an absolute Linux tard, so it’s hilarious to me trying to read and understand most of these comments

If we’re just talking about the USA, then the ~200 million working people would get $150 each.

I can’t be the only one who thinks “ROG Xbox Ally X” is a really stupid name.

Microsoft could literally make “gargle the balls of Bill Gates” a login requirement and the masses would still use Windows.

I’ve heard port forwarding is important for seeding, but why is that? Doesn’t your uploaded data still go through your vpn regardless if port forwarding is enabled?

You severely overestimate how much the average person cares about their own privacy.

It’s both stupid expensive and the jobs don’t pay enough anymore. I can make the same salary as an engineer working a trade or any other white collar job.

I’m sure the growing distrust in science and general stupidity didn’t help either.

If you reverse your order, the carton will feel more stable in your hands as you use up your eggs. This is because the carton’s mass density moves towards the outer edges, increasing the moment of inertia.

I’m fun at parties, I swear.

Sounds like Microsoft owns your copy of the game

The lack of empathy I see here disappoints me. Comments like these are similar to Europeans telling Americans to throw their lives away and rebel against their government, or “just emmigrate” like it’s really as easy as hopping on a plane.

These Russians could have been conscripted, they might’ve enlisted to feed their starving families, or they might fully support the war effort because they’re young and brainwashed by state propaganda. They’re all victims of this shitty war in their own way.

War sucks. There are zero winners. I’m not at all sympathetic to Russia’s cause and wish they’d leave Ukraine alone, so I understand the desire to hate Russians and to cheer at the death of every Russian soldier. I just wish people practiced nuance here and didn’t give into the hate so much.

Not sure. Anyone want to start some shit so we can find out?
