Oh my sweet summer child you really believe that the tech companies pay taxes on those data centers?

No idea how they came to the conclusion that millions of people are facing a prospect of ruined homes and businesses. The UK gets hammered by massive winter storms with 80MPH plus winds several times a year every year and has for as long as I remember. Quite interestingly and fact that she failed to mention is the extreme weather hits the UK from the west having travelled from the Caribbean, and the south having travelled up from the Sahara. The UK could reduce it's emissions to zero today and it would make absolutely no difference at all.

No matter what we do moving to renewables it's all getting undone by the continual ramping up of demand by AI companies and data centres. We're literally destroying the planet faster so people can make funny cat videos. Then there's the rampant consumerism, all the mountains of shite people buy that ends up in the bin or a cupboard never to see the light of day again within weeks or even sometimes days. It all needs to end.

Unfortunately by the time it's detected that and someone has blocked the internet access the damage may already have been done given the speed these models work and the bandwidth they have available to them.

Been living under a rock for the last decade? Playstation Plus has had cloud streaming for ages...it was first launched as Playstation Now back in 2014.

Don't forget that we've not got to waste energy, we've got to make sure we use low energy light bulbs, change to energy efficient appliances, make sure that we don't leave stuff turned on unnecessarily because it all contributes to climate change. But that only applies to us lowly serfs. Meanwhile if you're a mega corp that's made a net zero pledge you can just waste as much as you want.

Linux uses less RAM than Windows. A typical Windows 11 installation will use 2GB more than a typical Linux installation sat on the desktop.

HDR if you choose X over Wayland and if you have a Nvidia card you're using a hell of a lot when it comes to DLSS, especially because there's no Nvidia App that can automatically over-ride the game's DLSS version on a per game or global basis. Those are just two I can think of OTTOMH.

Hi ChatGPT.

Not a chance in hell I will ever use this.

Ecosia, which I've been using for over a year, and Qwant. Both source from Bing and Google as well whilst they continue to expand EUSP (European Search Perspective), a search index built by Ecosia and Qwant and based in Paris.

Ecosia and Qwant both European search engines. Both are currently in the process of developing EUSP (European Search Perspective), a search index built by Ecosia and Qwant, based in Paris, so they have to rely less on Bing and Google Search.

How the hell does that happen? Are people born already age 65 plus?

Because of stupid people like you who are too stupid to realise that unless you have legislation that specifies that these devices have to cut all output from the inverter if there's a power cut you can end up in a situation where there's a power cut, an engineer is called out to work on a line he's told has been disconnected and gets electrocuted by the solar installation 3 miles away done by an idiot like you who didn't fit an inverter with that safety feature.

The ones we have in Europe do and have to. They also have to have mains detection so if there's no live mains detected on the socket you're plugging these inverters into they have to cut power OTTOMH I think it has to be in something like 10ms.
