5·2 years agoFun fact, Navy ships didn’t even have a dedicated firefighting force until after the disaster on the USS Forrestal in 1962. A fire broke out on the flight deck and the attempts to put it out were like watching Keystone Cops. Nobody had a dedicated job or understood how to actually fight a Class D fire.
Now NSF funds all branches of science excluding defense and most medical. Those are DOD and NIH for the most part.
If this type of basic science research interests you, in the US there is a federal agency dedicated to this pursuit; the National Science Foundation (www.nsf.gov)
95% of its annual budget goes out the door in the form of research grants to colleges, small businesses and individuals. Most of the research has no immediate application but has lead to some very exciting discoveries. The biggest in the recent past was that orange donut picture of a black hole that was everywhere.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?
59·2 years agoThe Cuecat: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat
Came at a time when there weren’t barcodes everywhere and QR codes didn’t exist yet. Companies had to publish Cuecat specific barcodes, it was much easier to just type in the URL by the time you figured out you could use it at all.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?
41·2 years agoI am asking here because it sounds like you might have first hand knowledge. I currently use LastPass for a password manager and I really like it’s integratiom with the Android phone and using it within app and on websites.
How is the integration of Proton into the phone? I don’t want to have to open a different app and copy/ paste the password.
Thank you.
It seems like I will only watch either a 15 min video or a 4 hour one. I just don’t seem to like the very short form video format. It does allow enough time for even a single subject.
With one exception, I’ll watch a lockpicking lawyer at any length.
