+1 for prism launcher. Queer-led devs <3
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 1 week ago:
It can indeed be recycled after it degrades into copper, but it will take far longer that you claim for it to do so.
The half life of nickel-63 is 101.2 years which means that after 101.2 years approximately half of the core will have degraded to copper, then after 101.2 more years approximately half of the remaining will have degraded, leaving approximately a quarter, then after 101.2 more years there’ll be approximately one eighth, and so on. This is how radioactive decay works.
The battery, they claim, functions for 50 years or so, which is probably because after 50 years the radioactive decay has slowed by over 25% (can’t be bothered to work out the actual amount but its at least this much). This 50 years doesn’t mean that all the radioactive material has decayed, just that a portion of it significant enough to render the battery dead/less effective/etc.

- Comment on Epic’s dream is starting to come true — its store will be preinstalled on ‘millions’ of Android phones 3 months ago:
So it was never about equality, or google having an unfair monopoly, they just wanted their bloatware to be part of the package that gets forcefully shoved down people’s throats. Shocked!

- Comment on Microsoft CEO earns $30.6 million more despite laying off over 2,000 employees in 2024 — salary package represents a 63% raise from the previous year 5 months ago:
$30.6m/2000 is $15.3k per employee laid off, basically a full time minimum wage job. Fucking unreal that you can justify one person getting a raise that could support 2000 people’s entire livelihood. Obviously, these Microsoft employees were not earning minimum wage, but its still outrageous.
