If you want to see all the conflicting findings and by-the-minute updates, this post is great: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/claims-of-room-temperature-and-ambient-pressure-superconductor.1106083/page-11?post=94266395

I'm very much not an expert, but my read of this is: most replication efforts have mostly failed when it comes to making a working room temp superconductor (meaning conducts electricity with no resistance). However, groups are increasingly seeing some of the other characteristics expected from superconductors, and it appears that the failures might just be caused by using an unrefined technique.

So time will tell, but this is probably a big advance, but not itself a world changer just yet.

The article doesn't offer a single statistic suggesting there is a resurgence of landlines, much less that Gen Z folks are responsible for it. It's basically just a fiction piece.

There are several places where the reporters don't use what would today be typical words for things. I guess at that time the general public wouldn't have understood words like "graphics" or "platform"?

Savage self-burn. Bravo

Cool. Thank you. Also, I apologize for the wording of my question. I meant to say "Could you say more..."

Who's the dude in the upper left, right next to Dark Helmet?

Thank you!

Very nice photo. I'm from Kentucky. Just out of curiosity, where (about) is this?

That sounds like a great idea. I'm pretty tech savvy and still struggled a bit with finding a Lemmy community that wasn't overloaded, didn't have restrictions that weren't suitable for my intended use, etc. I tried to create accounts on 2 other instances before succeeding.

I'm sure there are diverse views on this issue, but it seems to me Lemmy will be the most fun if there are enough users being active in enough communities to serve most of users' various interests. We don't have to have as many users as Reddit, but just enough to make things maximally interesting. And I fear we won't get there without lower barriers to entry.

I don't know why I'm surprised. I guess I just assumed there would be some link to reality.
