The world consumes 23000 GW, of which about 70% (16000 GW) is from fossil fuels. At the current pace, it would then take 64 years to replace all fossil fuels with renewables.
Doesn't take into account improvements in efficiency. UK energy use for example peaked in 2005 and has been dropping ever since despite over that 20 year period the population increasing by over 13% from 60 million to 68 million.
True. We're so authoritarian that we don't arrest anyone at protests or those who post mean tweets. Heck, we don't even arrest them for misgendering someone or flying the national flag!
LOL. You should look at news about events in the USA from news outlets outside of the USA.
Punishing a group because of the behavior of some individuals is generally understood to be "racist" or a "human rights violation". We generally try to avoid those things in polite society.
And yet that seems to the SOP for multiple branched of the US govt under Trump in the USA at the moment.
Pretty sure the Uyghur Muslims don't see it that way
I'm quite sure that American Muslims aren't overly happy about how they're being treated and demonised in America either.
Not utility, the money is for the social signal.
The only social signal this sends out is that the person who has one is a moron to be avoided at all costs.
Otherwise, what is a treaty?
Like international law it's merely a Gentleman's Agreement between two parties. Nations can and do break both treaties and international law on a very regular basis. For example there's the Budapest Memorandum which was signed by Ukraine, Russia, USA and UK which in return for Ukraine returning the former USSR nuclear arsenal it had and not using gained knowledge to create more, prohibited Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine. And we all know how well that turned out.
Last line of the summary:
Although users can "abandon the accounts and start again with new Apple IDs," the report notes that doing so means losing all purchased apps, along with potentially years' worth of photos and videos.
All those invaluable irreplaceable photos and videos they can't bear to lose, all backed up to one single point. It never ceases to amaze me. Cloud backup is just an additional backup to the ones I already have locally. I could lose any of my cloud accounts right now and it would make zero difference to data I value.
the cloud strikes again.
Except it doesn't like it didn't with Apple. Nothing to stop you installing third party software to do cloud backup etc or self hosting. Nothing that either Android or iOS do in regards to this story is unique to applications built into that OS.
The hardware will be worth something in that it exists and can be re-deployed for literally any other computing task.
It can't though, that's the problem. It's specifically configured for a specific task and not general use because that's how you get the most performance out of a piece of hardware.
As for better black levels and higher contrast, good luck getting those without high resolution.
And yet 1440p OLED monitors exist. OLED just in case you don't know has a black level of pure black as each pixel is self emitting and can be turned completely off, and near infinite contrast ratio.
We can predict everything, except the future.
