@foone so, antennas need to radiate photons. An antenna is "just" an arrangement of components that turns a changing electrical stimulus into enough of an electric/magnetic field flux that it emits photons.
Anything can radiate photons. Yes, people have hooked up bed springs and lightbulbs to HF radios to emit shortwave frequencies.
It's a question of what's in phase, what's out of phase, and how much is radiated versus reflected back down the antenna versus converted into heat.

woolfhound@woof.groupApple did a good job with Voice Control (not Siri) which lets someone who can’t use their arms control basically everything on an iPad with their voice. iOS app developers, sadly, don’t always support it well. Latest: HBO. Now if you pause a video, an ad slides in at the side of the screen… and prevents you from restarting with Voice Control.
When you have a disabled family member, you become quite attuned to all the things that short circuit good tools that already exist for them.

When I was at Google, someone told me a story about a time that “they” completed a big optimization push only to find that measured page load times increased. When they dug into the data, they found that the reason load times had increased was that they got a lot more traffic from Africa after doing the optimizations. The team’s product went from being unusable for people with slow connections to usable, which caused so many users with slow connections to start using the product that load times actually increased.

intransitivelie@beige.partyI regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.

thaddeus@mastodon.socialIf nothing else, LLMs have proven that people who sound like they know what they are talking about are often mistaken for people who know what they're talking about.

WeirdWriter@caneandable.socialIf you use this font to protect your text from AI, it also blocks *me, a human* because I use a screen reader. I did try the demo. If you want me to remove your RSS feed, this is the best font to prevent blind people from reading your blog/words.
