No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Games on my PC start stuttering pretty badly when they aren't the active window for a while. Have to close the game and restart to resolve the stuttering issue. What exactly is causing this?

News@lemmy.world•Tesla driver charged in California attacks arrested again for road rage in Hawaii
12·1 year agoBackground story from 2023. Multiple violent incidents and steroids and $30K cash were found in the guy’s car:
He was sentenced to 5 years in prison in CA but served less than 1, due to prison overcrowding. Apparently he was considered a nonviolent offender, wtf.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Will the Community Help Me Find a Clock Movement with Pendulum with WiFi or Atomic?
29·1 year agoUm the idea of a pendulum in an old fashioned clock is that it is actually the clock’s frequency reference. It’s purely mechanical, no electricity or radios. The length of the pendulum determines the frequency (usually 1 hz). You can slide the weight up and down a little bit to adjust the speed. The spring unwinding gives the pendulum a little kick on every swing so the clock doesn’t stop. You wind up the spring every so often so it doesn’t unwind completely, and the swinging pendulum advances a little ratchet that moves the hands a little on every swing. If you lived in a town in the pre-electricity era, the local church would ring its church bells at noon, 3pm, etc. and you would use that to set or adjust your clock as needed. The church clock itself was directly or indirectly set using solar noon (as observed with a transit telescope or dipleidoscope) as a reference. Fancier pendulum clocks had various sorts of thermal compensation and could be very accurate. It was a highly developed technology that is now mostly forgotten.
Connecting wifi to this would be at best purely decorative. I guess it would be a cute hack but meh. You could look on hackaday.com which is full of projects like that. I’ve mostly found them kind of pointless, but that’s just me being a grouch.
What is it that you want to talk about? There’s plenty about programming, math, and stuff like that. Maybe other stuff too, but that’s the stuff I’m into. Hacker News is definitely overrated and always has been though.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Man speaks to killer from beyond the grave in Arizona courtroom through AI videoEnglish
29·1 year agoThis is awesome. Next we can have AI Jesus endorsing Trump, AI Nicole Simpson telling us who the real killer was, and AI Abraham Lincoln saying that whole Civil War thing was a big misunderstanding and the Confederacy was actually just fine. The possibilities are endless. I can hardly wait!

News@lemmy.world•‘Because of my Instagram posts?’ AOC swerves questions on 2028 presidential run
0·1 year agoThey can be a lot less coy without triggering whatever happens when they formally announce a run. They can have exploratory committees and that sort of thing.
An AOC 2028 presidential run would be interesting but that is also when Chuck Schumer is up for re-election, giving her a chance to prmary him. I don’t have any idea of her chances either way. I think she understands that situation and will make informed choices when the time comes. I’m not exactly a fan of hers but I’ll give her some props for electoral savvy.

0·1 year agoWhat does it mean if a democracy bans a party that the voters want to elect? Better to ask what failure of the system made that party popular in the first place. We have a similar situation in the US fwiw.
