Solar works great when it's made well but Chinese solar is untrustworthy because it's made to fail suddenly and catastrophically as a means of military attack against other countries that buy it.

Kiss cheap shit goodbye
Seems unlikely because of "overcapacity and tepid demand". However, "cheap stuff" is already evaporating as a result of tariffs.
The benefits of Comparative Advantage are being downplayed at the expense of supply resilience.
Any change in behavior is more likely due to the market turmoil caused by Trump's unpredictable and inexplicable tariff policies. The situation is so volatiles that even MBAs, who can't see past their noses, are nervous.
I fully expect that when the threat passes that MBAs will go full single-point-of-failure again.
AAA is a marketing buzzword with no meaning.
AAA is a financial term used to describe the level of financial investment which generally reflects the excepted financial return. The natural consequence of a heavy initial investment is an expectation of wide distribution AKA popularity. This plays into my point of using it's popularity to pressure people to switch to Win11.
It's not the first of many.
Only time will tell.
It's simply the latest e-sport title to do this and doing this has nothing to do with Microsoft. Kernel Level Anticheat is a thing that has been playing a technological game of cat and mouse with users for decades.
Would you still believe this Activision started making this a requirement for all PC games that use Activision's "RICOCHET Anti-Cheat"? I say this because there are five older titles that use RICOCHET.
Call of Duty is far from the first game to require TPM 2.0 for its anti-cheat.
I've only seen a few other games with similar requirements. However, you're missing the point that CoD series are AAA titles.
Gamers are already largely using Windows 11.
Right and to increase that number... duh.
This change has no impact on Microsoft's bottom line at all.
Why would you think this game isn't merely the first of many to suddenly sport this requirement?
Activision isn't making the calls here, Microsoft, which bought Activision, is pulling the strings in order to try and push more people to use Windows 11.
Almost like $100 billion in stock buybacks and firing engineers was a bad idea.
"What?! NOOOOoooo! Those stock buybacks created create value for our shareholders! It's unjust to judge us for the consequences happening today based on our causal actions of yesterday because that could make us lose money!" - every CEO ever
Do farmers actually use these satellites?
Per TFA:
"NASA and others have turned this happy accident into an incredibly valuable set of maps of plant photosynthesis around the world," explains Scott Denning, a longtime climate scientist at Colorado State University who worked on the OCO missions and is now retired. "Lo and behold, we also get these lovely, high resolution maps of plant growth," he says. "And that's useful to farmers, useful to rangeland and grazing and drought monitoring and forest mapping and all kinds of things, in addition to the CO2 measurements."
AI isn’t a bubble
You're not entirely wrong because it's more like religion. See also: TESCREAL
This isn’t speculative—it’s the new normal.
That in and of itself is speculative.
Lie by omission: you can't get hired without a degree because their HR bot will filter you out.
To stay under the radar, Plague wipes environment variables like SSH_CONNECTION and disables shell history logging.
If you environment variables get wiped out and shell logging is disabled then that's a HUGE red flag right there. Not stealthy at all.
Anti-debug tactics have been around so long that they have managed to improve debuggers just deal with them. This isn't new or special.
Considering the amount of time needed to build a nuclear power plant and the fact that there is a good chance the AI bubble will pop before it's constructed, I wouldn't be surprised if this gets canned in a few years.
There is an obvious solution to this problem: after you have selected a candidate to hire, simply pay for them to come in for a final in-person greeting. If that doesn't work for you because you are trying to get someone for the absolute least amount of money then you have identified the core problem.
Betteridge strikes again!
Well there you go. This would explain why "ras" called it "the worlds biggest battery".
JWST is showing us how the observed universe built itself.
But how do we make it show us the unobserved universe?
