"discovery" "confirmation" and "new" all have specific meanings.
The science reporting is WRONG here.
Repeating something doesn't make it so. Point out specifically what is wrong. Use the dictionary to back up your statements.
It's a very run of the mill district heating system. You use heat exchanges to export heat to a 3rd party when you have excess heat and they are responsible for providing you a certain amount of cooling. That cooling is usually made up of distributing the heat to consumers, or if there are no consumers they will cool it directly using cooling towers / chillers.
The consumers here are private apartments/houses setup for district heating. A well insulated apartment doesn't need much in the way of high temperature so even slightly elevated heating (usually circulated via some kind of heat dense liquid throughout a suburb) is sufficient to provide necessary heating.
Another user mentioned Vienna. The district heating wikipedia page actually has Vienna as an example image https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Maybe they can be next for banishment to user land?
This happened already 20 years ago. There's a reason why a crashed game no longer takes out your entire OS. And there's a reason why the OS can flag a message to you that your graphics drivers have crashed and were restarted.
Plastic prevents tood waste.
No. Plastic prevents food waste caused by perception. There is zero reason for food waste given our current distribution channels and the speed at which produce gets from its source to destination. The problem is you (and me) the consumer, the ones who will reject the not "perfect" food item. Plastic helps maintain food in pristine condition, but the concept of waste falls firmly on us.
And you're suggesting making it worse, in order to reduce the volume of something that is inert and could just be buried for all of eternity.
You're acting like this is a solved problem. Landfills are a major issue, especially for plastic which don't break down; the whole principle of the landfill is that it does break down over time. Also you're yaddie yaddering away the immense energy and pollution caused in creation of the plastic (to say nothing of the fact you haven't considered recycling it).
Why would it? Your rant is completely off topic.
That can be said of any software. Users don't define their wants, they get sold it by marketing departments. For the most parts users are a poor judge of what is good for them since the value lack of change over anything.
What has Windows introduced that I wanted? Nothing. Ever. What has Windows introduced that has helped no end? Tabs in explorer, unix line endings for notepad, tickbox selection in explorer, a better search system in the start menu, virtual desktop support, the ability to mute notifications, the ability to shutdown / reboot without applying updates, countless under the hood changes including APIs such as DirectStorage that improve gaming, oh the most recent example: automatic colour management for all desktop apps (I run DCI-P3 monitors here so every app that didn't manually implement colour management previously was wrong).
These weren't things I wanted, they are things I didn't know I want. If I had a time machine and went back a couple of years (hell if I went back a week with that last point), I would have said "GIVE ME THIS! I WANT THIS!
Clownstroke could have at the very least used their own hardened kernel module. Instead they made cheap crap and then they messed up using it right.
Android has had sideloading for decades, and none of that happens.
Hehehehe, excellent! Made me LOL. Thanks!
Indeed. And I really do not get it. I mean, I am very much in the "cogito ergo sum" camp. Thinking is what I do and what makes me me and I find it relaxing. But apparently most people do not like to be people?
What else is new. Thinking is hard for most people. If they stop doing it, they completely lose the skills. Pathetic as they might have been before...
I mean all they do is make the C-levels feel good while they do damage. Hmm. Sounds like a modern LLM, doesn't it?
Being part of the kernel was the only way for security products to have the level of visibility they required into the OS operation to do their job.
Nope. It was the cheap solution. Linux did it with eBPF for CrowdStrike all along, no vendor kernel module needed.
Simple: That was the _cheap_ solution. Engineers do not call the shots at Microsoft, MBAs do.
