A good question is, how many games will be able to keep up with rendering at 360 FPS? A better question is, how many humans can see the difference between 80Hz and 360Hz?

Same here. I was adrift for several years, trying MATE, KDE, XFCE, some obscure ultra-lightweight desktops but I eventually landed on LXQt. Nothing is ever perfect but I've been on LXQt for years now.
Yes, it's important to appeal to newbie users. But it's also important not to alienate long-time power users.
We are talking about the same people that came up with Gnome 3, right? I ask because they worked really hard to drive people (like me) away from the Gnome desktop.
PBS is very left leaning, I hope is just disappears
Maybe you should take your own advice: "Why do people like you have to use this site?? Please.. get-lost"
this website isn't for politics, asshole
You know who said that? YOU.
Maybe the just didn't pay the bill on time?
China doing something first, however, has never been a reliable indicator that the thing will prove durable, economic, or widely replicable. China is large enough to try almost everything. It routinely builds first of a kind systems precisely because it can afford to learn by doing, discarding what does not work and scaling what does. This approach is often described inside China as crossing the river by feeling for stones. It produces valuable learning, but it also produces many dead ends. The question raised by the supercritical CO deployment is not whether China is capable of building it, but whether the technology is likely to hold up under real operating conditions for long enough to justify broad adoption.
A more skeptical reading is warranted because Western advocates of specific technologies routinely point to China’s limited deployments as evidence that their preferred technologies are viable, when the scale of those deployments actually argues the opposite. China has built a single small modular reactor and a single experimental molten salt reactor, not fleets of them, despite having the capital, supply chains, and regulatory capacity to do so if they made economic sense.
Obviously, this is a trial run, an experiment, which means commercial viability has yet to be seen.
The challenge of keeping seals intact in supercritical CO power systems is closely analogous to the challenge of sealing high pressure hydrogen systems, even though the underlying physics differs. In both cases, the systems rely on containing a small, highly mobile molecule at very high pressure, often at elevated temperature, across rotating shafts, flanges, and joints that experience thermal and mechanical cycling.
CleanTechnica is correct to be skeptical. This type of project is reminiscent of Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment in the US, where we learned about problems with embrittlement due to the fuel used. MSRE was a good experiment to run but despite doing it, it didn't prove to be economically viable. CleanTechnica is merely pointing out this fact because physics is an unrelenting force. This has nothing to do with "being sloppy" and everything to do with, "well, how long will it hold?"
Good luck getting that approved in the US any time soon.
From the changes I've seen happen, they seem to be aiming to approve just about anything.
Is it your thesis that doing something against fungus is helping the fungus?
That's the joke.
That said, in a dense urban area, I suspect 90% or greater of all pickup trucks are just expensive testicle extensions.
You only need to look at the overall population. 80% of people in the US live in urban areas.
But it's not really the majority. It feels like it is,
To even reach 50%, rural areas would need to have a truck ownership level that is 5x higher than urban areas.
Antibiotics do nothing against fungus.
Nonsense! Antibiotics kill the bacterium that is competing with the fungus. More resources for the fungus.
All my clothes are 100% cotton.
How about other things you (hopefully) wash? Consider you sheets and towels. Naturally, they didn't make this for you, they made it for everyone.
And lastly, the Lightning, other than being fast AF, sucks at being a truck.
It may surprise you but that's not a problem for the majority of truck owners.
Saturday’s offensive marked the latest cyberattack targeting Venezuelan infrastructure in recent weeks.
I wonder if that what prevented Maduro from getting into his bunker.
The people using these systems are not going to be fooled by faked benchmarks. The only people being fooled here is Meta and it's investors.
