"Reaganomics seems to be working" is such a 1983 thing to say.

Yeah those graphics tablets with a screen attached are a bit more complicated than plain drawing tablets. I have no personal experience with them, but AFAIK the driver side of things (the input method) is a fairly generic touchscreen/stylus device, and the main pain point is getting the display to work correctly.

Linux desktop has over the past ~5 years gone through a pretty foundational change precisely in the display configuration department, when the almost 40 years old X11 display server was replaced with Wayland. Most distros have moved over, but a lot of (imo clueless) people online still frequently recommend distros like Linux Mint, which notoriously is still stuck on X11, so if that's what you tried, then... yeah, sorry, there's a lot of bad advice online.

I'm seeing many reports online saying that specific tablet should work well out of the box with KDE Plasma 6, which is one of the most well-supported and up-to-date desktop environments, so next time you try Linux, consider that. A couple of examples of distros that ship with Plasma are the popular Bazzite and CachyOS.


Also, after googling a bit it looks like there's official "drivers" for that device on the manufacturer's website. By the looks of it, they're not technically drivers (those are in the kernel already), but rather a desktop app/extension that adds software-based features like macro functionality. The device should work fine without it and the app seems to have trouble working on a lot of systems anyway, but if you used the corresponding Windows "driver" then you'll be missing the software functionality you're used to, and will have to make do with more generic solutions like quick selection wheels implemented by digital art software.

This is an unfortunately common situation on Linux, and also happens with e.g. gaming mice and other peripherals, where stuff like the Logitech and Razer and whatnot gaming apps generally aren't available. On Windows these are often called "the driver" (though the actual driver is separate from the app). Linux users are often the kind of crowd that hates apps like that to begin with, but I suppose there are also people who actually use them and if you're one of them, you'll have to find more generic replacements to their features if you switch.

What tablet was it? Not every brand has good Linux support, but Wacom's support specifically is excellent. And because the driver is in the kernel, it won't stop working with updates until long after the hardware is completely redundant (if even then).

Paloikohan Arevan kanssa liikaa siltoja OL3:n myötä, että olisivat suostuneet rakentamaan Suomeen toista reaktoria.

[-] turdas@suppo.fi 5 points 2 days ago

Mietin ihan samaa, että amerikkalaisten kanssa yhteistyö on nykytilanteessa vähän kyseenalaista. Mutta toisaalta aikaväli näissä reaktoreissa on niin pitkä, että kun rakentamista ollaan aloittamassa niin USA on joko raunioissa tai tiellä parempaan. Tai ehkä tämä on naiivia optimismia ja oikeasti todennäköisin lopputulema on, että kolmen vuoden päästä jenkeissä on demokraatit vallassa mutta minkäänlaisia rakenteellisia muutoksia ei tehdä.

Rosatomin perutun voimalan tilalle kaavaillaan tällaista. Otsikko sai jotenkin katsomaan kahdesti (joka luultavasti oli Ilta-Pulun pyrkimys), mutta tietenkinhän tuossa vain tarkoitetaan amerikkalaisen yhtiön (Westinghousen) rakentamaa voimalaa.

Ydinvoima on Suomessa toiminut tosi hyvin. Pääasiassa ydin- ja tuulivoiman ansiosta olemme nykyään 89-prosenttisesti hiilivapaita:

Not sure how credible this is, but it seems more credible than that Finnish company's claims. This one comes from an established battery manufacturer and according to the article the cells have survived puncture tests etc. already.


After achieving a breakthrough earlier this week, Greater Bay Technology said it aims to launch the world’s first mass-producible all-solid-state battery this year.

China ramps up solid-state EV battery production

Greater Bay Technology (GBT) is a battery manufacturer backed by China’s GAC Group. The battery startup focuses on developing ultra-fast charging and solid-state batteries.

It even set the world record for the “fastest charging technology for electric vehicles” in 2024 with its Extreme Fast Charging (XFC) batteries, which recharged from 0% to 80% in just 7.5 minutes.

On Monday, the company announced it had hit another major milestone, with its first A-sample all-solid-state battery cells rolling off the production line.

The A-sample battery cells contain no liquid electrolyte and successfully passed needle penetration, extrusion, and thermal shock tests without a fire or explosion.

GBT said the breakthrough enables all-solid-state EV batteries to move from the lab to industrialization as it aims to begin mass production in 2026. According to Chinese news outlet, NE-Time, GBT aims to launch the “world’s first mass-producible all-solid-state battery” with GWh-level mass production and in-vehicle use by 2026.

The new tech overcomes the hurdles that have prevented all-solid-state batteries from hitting the mass market with a new organic-inorganic composite ESC all-solid-state electrolyte system.

GBT’s battery tech has already been reviewed and is receiving support from China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

With a single cell energy density of 260-500 Wh/kg, considerably higher than traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries, the cells enable a longer driving range, faster charging, and more interior space.

The new tech enables stable 2-3C fast charging, which has been another major barrier for solid-state EV batteries. It also showed minimal cycle-life degradation during long-term, repeated charge-and-discharge cycles.

“Look, America is founded on free enterprise and capitalism,” said Bill Essayli, the first assistant United States attorney for the central district of California, during the press conference. “Anyone who attacks our values, our way of life, our system, which provides the best goods and services to the most people, we’re gonna come after aggressively.”

What a thing to say.

Minua on aina ärsyttänyt lähes kesäajan vertaisesti se, että Suomessa seurataan EET-aikavyöhykettä Keski-Euroopan CET-vyöhykkeen sijaan. Läntisessä Suomessa, jossa valtaosa suomalaisista asuu, CET kun vastaa maantieteellistä sijaintiamme käytännössä yhtä hyvin, mutta olisi EU-yhteistyön kannalta paljon parempi. Toisaalta myöskään EET:stä ei meille ole mitään hyötyä nyt, kun Venäjän kanssa ei tulla pitkään aikaan tekemään yhteistyötä.

Tutkimustiedon valossa vaikuttaa myös siltä, että on terveyden kannalta parempi elää aikavyöhykkeen keskikohdan itä- kuin länsipuolella. Tällöin kellot ovat hieman Aurinkoa jäljessä, joka helpottaa illalla nukahtamista ja aamulla heräämistä (eli vaikutus on päinvastainen kuin kesäajalla).

Nyt kun kelloja taas käännettiin, innostuin tekemään aiheesta tällaisen ruohonjuuriaktivistisen tiedoteverkkosivun. Sivulla on karttoja, ytimekästä tietoa ja laskuri, joka näyttää eri kaupungeille paljonko kellon oikeasti niissä pitäisi olla.

(0) Read the official Microsoft support guide, because otherwise you will never succeed.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-GB/office/change-sharepoint-online-language-settings-0f6a477a-dcab-4462-9d0c-e3b53d138183

Note that the UIs in the following steps may be in a language that you do not speak, but the support guide will naturally refer to the English localization. If you need the localized names of the UI elements, the guide is available in multiple languages. Unfortunately this will change the language of the entire guide, which may make it difficult to understand the steps themselves.

(1) Click on your profile circle in the top right and then click on this link.

(2) On the new page that opens, click this button.

(3) In the modal pop-up, click this unassuming one-word link in the bottom left.

(The link translates to "You can add more profile information here.")

(4) On the new page that opens, click on the ellipsis button to show the hidden items of the horizontal navigation.

(5) Select "Language and region".

(6) Add your preferred language using the drop-down box and move it to the top of the list using the little arrows.

(7) IMPORTANT! Don't forget to scroll to the bottom and click on "Save all and close"!

(8) Click "OK" on this pop-up.

(9) You're done and will be navigated back to the page from step 2!

Hope you didn't want to change any other settings here.

Oh, and the page from step 2 will still be in the original language. Don't worry, the pop-up dialog assured us it will change soon. Word may also still be in the original language, but should change sooner than the page from step 2 (I am still waiting on that one).

A long and detailed YouTube video by Kyle Hill about how an outdated principle of "there is no safe level of ionizing radiation" still pervades nuclear and radiation policy in spite of continuously mounting scientific evidence to the contrary, contributing to unnecessarily great caution with things like medical imaging, and to negative public perception and panic regarding nuclear power.

The TL;DW is that there is a mountain of evidence that small doses of radiation are harmless due to the body's natural defenses and self-repair mechanisms, and in fact according to many studies small doses may in fact reduce the risk of cancer compared to baseline rather than increase it (a phenomenon known as hormesis).

Tämä uuden UI:n viestieditori jokseenkin ärsyttävästi syö koneellani useita ctrl-pikanäppäimiä tekstiasettelua varten. Olen huomannut että esim. seuraavat tulevat syödyksi:

  • Ctrl-C tekee kursiivia
  • Ctrl-X tekee boldia
  • Ctrl-Shift-T luo linkin

Käytän Dvorak-näppäimistöasettelua ja huomasin, että Ctrl-C sijainniltaan vastaisi QWERTY-näppäimistöllä Ctrl-i:tä (italics) ja Ctrl-X Ctrl-B:tä (bold). Eli ilmeisesti nämä on vaan määritelty näppäimistösijaintien mukaan eikä sen mukaan, mikä merkki näppäimessä on.

En löytänyt mistään tapaa kytkeä näitä pois päältä. Olenko vain huono etsimään vai täytyykö asiasta mennä nillittämään editorin kehittäjälle? Mistä kehittäjä voisi löytyä?
