Over 50% of our population reads below a 6th year education and our school system has been steadily defunded and dumbed down over the past 40 years. A large portion of Americans only have 2 brain cells and they’re both busy fighting for 3rd place. Ignorance and a lack of critical thinking skills is what has gotten us into this situation and I don’t know if we have what it takes to get us out of it.

You actually have to implicitly install google services on GrapheneOS, but if you do install it then it is sandboxed.

I think the point the author was trying to make is that the “personal” part of PC is what is dying. the profit model for modern tech is no longer about supplying the best or most useful product but instead exploiting users, either to manipulate them into buying more crap or harvesting their data to sell off to someone else who wants to sell them more crap. Even many of the products we buy these days we don’t really own. Steam just released a policy statement saying that users don’t actually own the games they’ve purchased, but are merely buying a license to access them. If Steam decides not to support a particular title anymore than poof, it’s gone forever from your account. For the most part it seems that if you aren’t running strictly FOSS software or pirating, you can’t really own anything on your PC aside from the hardware. I think the gist of their argument is not that computing has gotten worse, but that while software, hardware, and user experience have massively improved, the exploitation of the user has greatly tainted that progress.

This guy gets it.

It would be very useful if you were asking the right question. The storage facility from the article has a 750 MW storage capacity (energy) which it can deliver at a max output (power) of 3000 MW/hr Power plant and storage facility capacities are measured in MW since what they are intended to do is supply power at a steady rate. Who cares if you can store a billion TW of power if you can only output it at 5mW/h. It does no good if you can’t get it out. Supply is what we really care about here.

And power is a measure of energy over time.

How is a Megawatt not a measure of energy?

Correct me if I’m old, but isn’t this kinda what gen Z is doing with skibidi?

I’m a mechanical engineer for a small manufacturing plant and I run their maintenance department. Its more hands on than most engineering jobs though.

He didn’t run a casino into the ground. It was 3, he ran 3 casinos into the ground.

You’re right, there is no capture or recording of light in this system. Electromagnetic metasurfaces directly alter the waveform of photons as they pass through. In this instance it directly converts infrared light into visible 550nm (green) light.

I would suggest anyone bothered by this to look into xManager.

Trump is not just “likely” to fund more genocide, he will fully endorse it. Hell, one of his favorite lapdogs just suggested that Israel should nuke Gaza.

Morality meters.

Ghost of Tsushima is so good it almost makes me want to buy my own ps5, but I think I’ll stick to borrowing my gf’s.

They’re terrible street cars but offroad there’s really nothing more capable unless you plan to custom build a rig. If you want a smooth ride offroad it will be way to soft for on the road and vice versa. Jeeps from the factory are designed on a compromise between the two so they’re not really good at either. The build quality on modern jeeps is absolutely terrible though and the majority of jeep owners never use them for what they’re intended for so I generally agree with you. But ride in a jeep that’s properly setup for strictly offroad driving and you’d be amazed.

While I agree that Seinfeld is generally unfunny and definitely overrated, Op is such a gaping asshole about it, I kinda want to rethink my opinion because of them.
