Red Sea crisis from Houthi attacks hits world trade as cost of shipping soars by 170%
  • Yeah, or the US just invades Yemen with global support, triggering the regional crisis Iran wanted.

    None of the regional powers actually care about Palestine outside of using it as a convenient political excuse.

  • iPhone 15 overheating reports, with temperatures as high as 116F
  • It depends on how you're holding it and how spread that heat is. 46° isn't something great to be grasping for extended periods of time, but if you're physically touching 30°C parts of the phone and a part with no physical contact with your skin is 46°C, it's probably not that bad.

    My s7 edge used to hit these temps. The annoying part was the throttling and shutdowns. I never really felt like I was burning my hands using the thing.

  • iPhone 15 overheating reports, with temperatures as high as 116F
  • Yeah. My s7 edge (remember when that was a gimmick and not standard?) would overheat and shut down if I used gps, charging, and music streaming at the same time.

    43°C/116°F isn't unusual. Even in the us, Celsius is probably the better term because cpu temps are generally in science-oriented units, not garden variety units. Also easier to contextualize since using degrees centigrade also works as a pretty straightforward percentage meter. 0°C is great for a cpu. 85°C is generally bad. 100°C is "you need to turn off your device" bad. 43° seems pretty typical.

    A Supreme Court case about hotel websites could blow up much of US civil rights law
  • The ADA issues at play in the lawsuit largely stem from ADA claims against websites.

    It's a real issue where some small business makes a non-ADA compliant website and gets shaken down by sketchy law firms that hire disabled people to be straw plaintiffs (AKA "testers") to find websites that are in violation.

    From the article:

    The ADA permits a plaintiff challenging a violation of this rule to obtain an injunction requiring a non-compliant hotel to fix its website, and it allows that plaintiff to have their attorney’s fees paid by the defendant if the plaintiff prevails in court. But the plaintiff may not obtain money damages if they prevail.

    So some small business has to fix their website that the "tester" never would have used on their own, and they have to pay the law firm that hired the tester's legal fees too. And then the law firm pays the tester.

    The ADA is a pre-internet rule, and its enforcement mechanism and regulations around have never been updated for the digital age, so scummy lawyers are making a killing off it.

    For the record, the solution is easy: update the ADA like disability advocates have been calling for ages.

    White House Requests Additional $24 Billion in Ukraine Aid from Congress
  • They aren't exactly writing checks and sending it Kyiv.

    They're sending stuff we already have. Ammo, tanks, etc.

    It should be phrased as "Joe asks mom it it's cool to give Volodymir, his friend down the way, his old iPhone, and then go buy a new iPhone 15 Max, which has sick BVR capabilities and stealth, from LockMart."

  • Bill Gates-backed nuclear contender Terra Power aims to build dozens of UK reactors
  • You can hardly blame that just on Gates. Every moron in the government has been pushing standardized tests as some way of grading teachers and schools for decades at this point, and this program coincided with Obama's equally disastrous and very similar federal program. Which was an improvement over Bush's even more disastrous program.

    Especially when you realize Gate's program was of limited scope while Dubbya/Obama/Trump's DOE's fuckups covered the entire country for a far longer period of time.
