Here’s the crux of the article for you.

In just two years, starting in 2022, residential electricity prices rose by 10%, while commercial prices increased by only 3%, and industrial electricity prices fell by 2%.

This whole article is a 5 minute write up about a PCMR post from Reddit where a user had their memory stolen. That's it. Not even surprised this article is a nothingburger given it's Toms Hardware.

Using an LLM for finance is insane, not only for the usual reasons AI is disliked here on Lemmy, but because the proper way to do this (putting aside whether you should) would be to tune a machine learning model, probably a supervised regression model, to do these predictions.

“People should have choice,” she says. “If you want to eat bad foods, if you want to have fluoride, if you want to have, let’s say, vaccines, then you choose that. But there should be no coercion, bullying, bribery. It needs to be a choice.”

Ah, letting the anti-vax sentiment slip a little there..

Regardless of that, I don't understand how putting fluoride into drinking water is coercive, bullying or bribing behaviour. We are already treating drinking water with other chemicals like chlorine, should we stop that too so that Queenslanders have a choice and aren't bullied or coerced into drinking healthy water?

Oh yep, in Australia we colloquially call it "the pits" as in "Gotta take the car to the pits" but I'd say the more universal term would be checking the vehicle's roadworthiness, or taking it for a roadworthy.

I recently bought this A1267 display from the recycled goods store, and I have absolutely no idea what this thing is on the stand.

My best guess is a mount, but it doesn't look like it would fit on my VESA mount. I tried to search up A1267 mount images but found nothing that matches this.

Never thought I'd see the day that Australian English sticks closer to proper English than British English

Edit: it is AI generated, completely missed the genAI tag on the Adobe Stock website, and [4] is not a ton like I thought, it's 307kg

It's listed on Adobe Stock photos[1]

I did find other similar photos[2][3] so it looks like it's an actual thing that exists. Actually found a listing for a 1 metric ton roll of it[4].

I would say that !selfhosted@lemmy.world is leaking, but I think most of the communities here tend to leak into each other anyway

The anecdote at the start of the article is insane; "I didn't hit you, otherwise my sensors would have gone off. You rode into me!"

Outside of that, the statistics in this article are very eye opening, especially as someone who has to ride their bike along an unprotected bike lane on a major highway just to get into town if I don't want to use the car. 38 deaths / year is a lot less than the ~115 for pedestrians, but considering how many more people walk than ride, those odds are still pretty terrifying to me.

And speaking of that car, funny the article outright says "If you're in a Mazda 2, you're not coming off okay [against a collision with an SUV]" because my daily driver is an early 90s Mazda 323. It's always felt unnerving to drive it alongside large cars, especially as it's so old it doesn't even have *an" airbag or ABS.

I'm probably not the first to point this out, and it's minor in comparison to everything else that administration is doing, but the wording is so insincere?

His heart goes out to all the Christians who loved Pope Francis, but he's not including himself in that or anyone else that wasn't Christian but still cared about him? A thoughts and prayers tweet would've been less awkward.

I'm gonna beat the same drum most people beat here, you know it's dystopian when you need the manufacturer's permission to be "let" delete something from your device. This criticism equally applies to Android devices with locked bootloaders.
