Inhumane labor to reduce costs

Those are very valid points. Thank you

That’s actually what makes LoRa meshes interesting here - the chirp spread spectrum is genuinely hard to jam without wideband power, and the ISM bands they ride on (433/868/915 MHz) are too economically important for a state actor to blanket-jam without taking out IoT, logistics, and industrial telemetry as collateral. The asymmetry flips: jamming costs them more than it costs you.

I would flip jackass and dickhead around. A dickhead does not have to be stupid, but is more reckless than an asshole. And a jackass can be intentionally a jackass, but most of the time is just an idiot.

Also, an asshole is more clearly intentional/malicious, whereas a dickhead could be oblivious or unacceptably inconsiderate.

Interesting. I wonder if that changes regionally.

How exactly are his eyebrows in the exact middle of his face? Very difficult to process this.

But wouldn’t those jammers also disrupt other critical comms in use by those who might do the jamming?

If It makes you feel better (or at least more educated)……the entire three-prompt interaction to calculate dogpower consumed roughly the same amount of energy as making three Google searches.

A single Google search uses about 0.3 watt-hours (Wh) of energy. A typical AI chat query with a modern model uses a similar amount, roughly 0.2 to 0.34 Wh. Therefore, my dogpower curiosity discussion used approximately 0.9 Wh in total.

For context, this is less energy than an LED lightbulb consumes in a few minutes. While older AI models were significantly more energy-intensive (sometimes using 10 times more power than a search) the latest versions have become nearly as efficient for common tasks.

For even more context, It would take approximately 9 Lemmy comments to equal the energy consumed by my 3-prompt dogpower calculation discussion.

A dog’s power output comes from its muscle mass, which for a healthy dog is about 45% of its total body weight. This gives our 28-pound dog roughly 12.57 lbs (or 5.7 kg) of muscle.

Studies of animal muscle show that the peak power output of vertebrate muscle tissue during a short, explosive burst (like a jump or the start of a sprint) is around 100 to 200 watts per kilogram of muscle.

Now we can estimate the dog’s peak power:

• Low estimate: 5.7 kg of muscle x 100 W/kg = 570 watts
• High estimate: 5.7 kg of muscle x 200 W/kg = 1140 watts

Converting these figures to horsepower (1 horsepower = 746 watts):

• Low estimate: 570 W / 746 ≈ 0.76 horsepower
• High estimate: 1140 W / 746 ≈ 1.5 horsepower

So, a small 28-pound dog might be able to generate a peak power of around 0.75 to 1.5 horsepower for a very brief moment.

So this YASA motor is somewhere between 670 and 1,340 times more powerful than the dog it’s being compared to in weight. That’s some jaw-dropping power output.

Yeah, no.

If you need to keep a bottle of Pepto close at all times, you’re not old, you just need to change your diet. Figure out what you’re eating that’s doing that to you.

Everyone has different reactions and tolerances to different things. You need to know your own body.
