IMO its fine for vendors to abandon their products but they should be required to release all technical documentation and software used with the device into the public domain so enthusiasts can continue where companies stopped.

Here, you lost something: \

Not engineer.

At least here in Germany, engineer is a protected profession. Other than that: All of the above.

Same situation here in Germany, where companies are worried about attracting skilled foreign workers while right-wing extremist parties are gaining more and more votes.

So, YOU are the guy conservatives over here in Germany are talking about all the time when they oppose the current legalization of cannabis? /s

But yeah, drugs are bad for kids.

/c/worldnews@lemmy.ml appears to be run by some strange people. I got banned for pointing out that Russia broke previous treaties with regard to Ukraine since 2014.

Does it have “WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE!” in golden letters somewhere?

Just like my $variables I can be anything I want. Deal with it! 🫳🎤

There is an incredibly, yet none zero chance that all genes passed by one parent may be recessive, while all the other parent’s expressive genes are all dominant and passed on. Theoretically then your scenario is possible.

Well, here’s the important part:

I have never done data forensic

So yeah, I didn’t know that at the time. Anyway: Which tools are you talking about in particular?

A friend asked me to atempt data recovery on some photos which ‘vanished’ off an USB stick.

Plugged it in, checked for potential hidden trash folders, then called it a day. Firstly I havenever done data forensic and secondly: No backup? No mercy.

But then again look at how many fossiles there still are. And those are all biologically, easily degraded.

You got that one the wrong way around. These fossiles are still here because of the special environmental circumstances in which they formed. Most biological matter decomposes without a trace.

Like suddenly there is plastic in the sediment layers …

If we were to go extinct today, these layers would be incredible thin. 12 k years of human history is a blink of an eye in terms of geological timeframes and for most of that we didn’t produce long lasting materials.

If we are talking millions of years it will become more and more unlikely that there will be anything left to find. In those timespans new geological formations happen.

Look at fossils as example. Yes, we have quite a lot of them but they stretch over a couple hundred million years, so imagen the things we don’t know about these periods. Now consider that modern humanity has been around for about 12 k years and the chances of researchers finding remains of our infrastructure in many million years by chance become tiny, just like the layers of sediment containing our remains.

What’s imho a lot more plausible is, that future researchers might find traces of our lasting impact on the atmosphere aka climate change in Arctic ice and wonder what caused it, prompting them to dig around in geological formations from our period which then might lead to some discovery.

Tell me about it … 🤷

*second to last!

The last spot is reserved for us, Germany.

No backup? No mercy!

Jerboa? The link is malformed for me as well

Because when it detects support for encryption or that you are talking to someone using DeltaChat as well, it switches automatically to encrypted conversations.

Basically all illegal drugs started as legal drugs aka medicine (Opium, Morphine, Heroin, etc). The distinction is a relatively recent development. Even today a drug store is a reputable business. A drug den not so much.

Ehrm yes, that’s also ‘real’ coal. There are multiple types of coal.
