Dude, wtf. The APRP is a fraud scheme that targets senior citizens. Way to not only be entirely lazy, but the FBI is directing people right to one of the worst organizations that victimize old people.

Probably better off to direct them to watch videos by Jim Browning the angel of death of tech support scammers.

You know that the inventor of the Cuecat, J. Hutton Pulitzer, went on to develop bamboo fiber detection technology for the Arizona audit? So, in a way that seems to relate back to the actual topic.

Lol, that sounded so bizarre that I thought you made it up.

His wiki page is a wild ride of bullshit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The other day win10 started overiding the default search engine in Chrome to be Bing instead of DuckDuckGo. Even when I completely removed Bing as an option from Chrome, when I restarted it showed back up.

After a few restarts of whack-a-mole, it quit doing it.

Whatever. But your statement:

I've seen estimates that for ITER it will be something like 200-300MW of power input to keep it going. Obviously part of the goal is that this power will come from the fusion plant itself once it's operating...

is incorrect. ITER will never produce power. Not commercially, and not to power its own plasma containment.

And it gets worse, they project it will not be until 2035 until they even start doing D-T fusion at the facility. Considering how everything with ITER has taken 2x longer than estimates, we can imagine this will be delayed too.

How many decades after that will be the first commercially viable fusion reactor? The environment is fucked right now, we can't wait another 30 years for fusion to arrive.
