I've got extra drives,I'll check that one out as well. Thanks.

My youngest child is severely autistic and depends on their tablet to be able to experience the world, do digital artworks, watch movies and shows and play games. They are on that thing probably 8 to 12 hours a day; and before anybody yells at me, they are severely disabled and the tablet is an integral part of their existence in the same way that people with non-working legs use a wheelchair. They're using the app Ibex paint to do artworks that surpass what I used to do on a desktop using the full Adobe suite when I was working in IT Media Services.

Great battery life, the screens are high quality and resolution, the builds are solid. They work so well that over the past 10 years I've purchased four of them to not only replace ones that got accidentally damaged, or destroyed in an autistic meltdown, but I bought one for use myself.

Last night I went to my local and sat down at a table and using the keyboard and mouse that I bought to use with it I spent 4 hours doing role-playing game writing for my group on Friday, easily flicking between Google Docs and Google searches and Ibex paint to cut and paste content and churn out 15 pages of encounter script.

I find that I will grab that tablet with its keyboard/trackpad case if I'm going to be going out somewhere and anticipate having an opportunity to sit and write instead of any of my laptops because it's so much more portable, and I can get 6+ hours of productivity on a single charge.

After taxes and delivery by Aliexpress a DooGee is less than $300 Canadian.

Thanks. I'd done Ubuntu on a couple of old laptops, Macs, and Thinkstations. but hadn't pulled the trigger on my game box; guess I'll stick with what I'm used to so far.

Already have a couple of surplus 1TB SSDs laying about from when I decommissioned a server rack, gonna pop the case and swap out my 'Win10OS' drive and 'Games' drive and install the best distro for gaming I can find.

Any suggestions for which distro would be the best one for Steam games?

Darn :(

So the Seebeck effect can't be used recursively while the orbital passes through the shadow of the Earth?

So you're saying that there is no way to take the heat and run it through some sort of zero gravity steam turbine that converts the heat into electricity that can then be used by the system?

Is there no way to concentrate the potential energy of the waste heat into capacitors or batteries that can then be used to power an electron-throwing drive or laser in bursts?

Recycle the heat into power for the lasers, send that energy out as the lasers that connect the network. The energy lost in transmission helps to reduce heat.

There is also storing up all of that heat energy by converting it into electrical or kinetic energy that can be released very quickly through a 'non-communication' laser. I'm sure somebody's going to want to do some experimentation with that idea.

They will conveniently find a way to convert the heat into kinetic energy to control its orbit, and recycle it back into electricity to run the hardware and lasers.

Oh yeah, there WILL be lasers.

Kind of like what they should have been doing with the waste heat from all of those terrestrial server farms; converting it to kinetic or electrical energy.

It's really that simple.
I guess she was simpler.

So why waste the time, energy, and bandwidth?

Well, if you're gonna insist on having Uber with an actual person involved branded as the superior service for the elites you've really got no choice but to call it Ubermensch now do you?

I've been predicting that the drivers were training the system to be run entirely on EVs for at least the past decade.
People kept telling to me to shut up.
Wish I'd made bets lol.

I bet there are at least a few who will literally pay money to be a robot shelf stocker in a Japanese grocery store,
