Infinite. Email will stay around. Currently it is replacing postal mail and after that email will be the only "reaches everybody" messaging service in existence. It will NOT go away anytime soon and it may stay around as long as we have a High-Tech civilization.

Look for Wh. If not specified, walk away.

Or almost none. Much lower fire risk, much longer lifetimes, just a bit more heavy (not that much in a power-bank actually). When I looked last week, the only one I found was a 100Wh class one that I already have. But 5...20Wh? Total failure.

Just wait.

Did they submit? I think not. They just paid off the complainants. And the condition of the settlement likely does not contain any admission of guilt.

Indeed. And it was probably really cheap (in comparison) to buy the victims off and prevent any real punishments for those responsible.

Yeah, Musk probably asked for it to be implemented as a favor for his orange buddy. Should have kept it private.

This is why this crap continues. Nobody ever gets punished. Instead the ones harmed get bought off if they manage to be loud enough. Repulsive.

My pretty old Phenom II firewall / fileserver has 32GB of RAM in it. Was cheap at that time and I needed it for a project. My old and my new gaming PC also have 32GB. And my 2 spare mainboards also have it. Too much effort to make a profit selling these, but foresight pays off.

"High quality AI slop"? WTF is that?

Dude. That is nonsense. The end of the PC market is just a bullshit prediction that has been around for 30 years or longer. Never panned out, will not pan out this time. The replacement needs alone are enough to keep things going.

Yep. They will not build new fabs for that. When the bubble busts, even NVIDIA could go bankrupt because they may well not be able to adjust fast enough.

This author is NOT full of shit. Yes, details vary. And yes, it may not actually be as bad as described or not in this exact specific way. But it IS bad, very bad.

You are a Stockholm-Syndrome case.

I am willing to tackle this: It can be done. Nuclear power can be made safe and reliable. But it needs a cultural change. In ordinary engineering, there are smaller, somewhat frequent disasters that keep the memory of people in there active and remind that things need to be done right. And the people responsible do get sent to prison, at least from time to time.

Nuclear power tech has several problems.
(1) It is exceptionally dangerous and massive in its potential accident effects. Hence the standard level of safety is much higher than in other tech (but nowhere near high enough). This comes with the problem that accidents are rare and people will forget or explain rare things away as "this cannot happen again / this cannot happen to us", "nobody did expect that" and other convenient ways to lie to yourself.

(2) Nuclear is not economic in almost all places (no, not even Japan; you have to get to space or military power generation for it to make sense). Hence the real cost of nuclear power needs to be hidden and obscured and that creates a culture of lying, cost overruns, time overruns and looking away.

(3) Nuclear power is the stepping stone to the Bomb. (No, I am NOT willing to discuss this. Denying this is on the level of anti-vaxx or flat-earth.) This leads to military interests and unsuitable risk management, because having the Bomb, or the potential for it, is critical for survival of the nation (right?) and any risk becomes acceptable.

That said, nuclear tech can be done right. It just gets a lot more expensive and preparing for quiet Bomb-making on the side gets a lot harder.

So, how do you enforce it being done right? The first step is that you are upfront to the public about the real cost. This eliminates the need to lie and cheat and obscure what is being done. The second one is independent engineering audits by several different organizations that are subject to different pressures. On something this critical, you want at least two different engineering audit bodies from other cultural environments, i.e. abroad as well. Add personal criminal punishment for anybody that is caught falsifying data or being negligent and very strong whistle-blower protection, including immunity from crimes committed. With that, somebody will not remain quiet if things are done wrong.

And then you add a requirement for full, unlimited damage insurance by a private (!) international (!) damage insurer. This CAN be done (friend of mine was one of the risk-modelers for a back-insurer for a decade or so, and he confirmed that this can be done and was done). Even unlimited coverage for damage from nuclear power going wrong CAN be bought. The way this is done is that the risk gets spread all over a large number of back-insurers. This is not a special thing and they do that all the time. They know how to do it. But back when this was a question, the studies were done, the rates were calculated and the offers made. In secret. So politics then could do a Big Lie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie) and claim "Nuclear cannot be insured" in order to be able to keep the real costs hidden. The whole industry basically when downhill from there.

So, why no insurance for nuclear power when basically every other industry needs to have it? See item (2) above. The estimate my friend had was that 1kWh of nuclear power produced would have cost, adjusted for inflation, very roughly 1 EUR/USD, to insure.

Hence the whole "civilian" nuclear industry was built on lies all along, lying pervades the culture and oversight, engineering failure analysis and responsibility are not done there or at least not done competently. And to make it worse, a ton of money flows and many, many people want some of that in their pockets.

Does that answer your question?

We are NOT going to get any new even marginally consumer-friendly regulations during the next three years.
