Including for phones and laptops.

The issue is the chemistry. Those Lithium-Cobalt based chemistries are all shite and need withdrawn from the market for good.

Or the whole pack gets replaced with the old but still good cells going on to the second hand market for other uses.

More likely Trump made another "offer" that wasn't to be refused.

And then there's Israel. Where you have a doctrine of complete erasure, over and above genocide ... and even shooting their own peoples is a strategy to later claim higher victim count.

Makes Russia look an angel.

You've got a big error in the translation from square feet to square miles. You need to square the 5280 first, before doing the divide. Resulting in 3.75 sq.miles.

Even if it was 19,800 sq.miles, the panels are not flat on the ground. They are raised and angled, allowing light to reach the ground. Grass still grows. Evaporation is reduced, which is often beneficial to grass. Animals can still graze amongst the panels.

The v3 super-heavy booster impacting in the ocean (or should that be on the ocean surface) at the speed of a bullet would have been something to see from a distance as well. The footage I saw was only from the side of the booster itself. Needless to say the feed cut out at impact.

The executive branch is basically a mafia at this point too. He's probably just feeling the vibe.

Blackmail and threats are cheaper than paying gold.

Inventing a boogeyman is cheaper still. Less likely to blow up in your face.

I had another 20 minutes on pushbike after getting off the bus. It most definitely didn't drop me off at my house.

I'd put that behaviour squarely in the "keeping up with the Jones'" camp. Get-ahead syndrome. Snobbishness even.

The children are missing out on valuable exercise.

I agree, but the problem is the decision makers have already fired far more than that on the hopes of AI making them money .... and to pay for the AI spending ... and future intended AI spending.

All without evidence of any of it paying off.

Once they've wrecked the companies they won't be in a position to hire anyone back.

Unless Trump's ready to abandon the problem he created and just let Iran have its way, the that situation isn't coming to a conclusion any time soon. And since Trump can't be trusted to honour anything he says, or signs, someone else will have to fix it after he's left office.

And the $400k was also at current heavily discounted rates where investor money is covering 99% of real costs.

No, the contention is that OpenAI is claiming the tool is solving when in reality it is only regurgitating a found solution.

LLMs do pretty well at being a search engine when they're illegally fed everything.
