The fascists in Italy made the trains run on time, right? Once you control the media presentation of your ideals, you can rewrite history to whatever you like. The rise of LLMs means that there are no pesky humans that retain information about what actually happened in any event.

The story came to light because the Washington Post investigated... in order to get the clicks.

Most of these bills explicitly prohibit grid export with balcony solar. Use it or lose it. So, your battery plugs also need to be on the fusion powered leg.

The companies selling these products like to imply that you will be able to power your whole house with their systems. Guess what, they can't. Because most US panels use split phase to break the 240V incoming into 120V circuits, you only get your plug-in solar feeding half the breakers in your panel. Now, in order to do plug-in solar properly, you should have a dedicated plug for the inverter. While you have the electrician there, have them arrange the breakers on your panel so your large draws (AC, washing machine, etc) are on the same leg as your dedicated solar plug.

If only we had some sort of technology that would allow us to replace oil burning vehicles with a cleaner alternative.

It could, but it won't.

"is working on the measure to bar imports of new Chinese optical transceivers, which allow data to travel over fiber-optic cables at the speed of light within data centers" Oooh, scary. These are so high tech that they have been used in data centers for 30 years now. Maybe they should ban capacitors from China because these alternating plates of ceramic have the ability to cripple data centers when they fail.

Jeff Bezos says "Hold my beer"

Does your keyboard have a fingers button? Didn't think so.

Didn't someone already try this and have it fail miserably? People don't want an advertising engine disguised as a personal assistant.

Was the author an independent HVAC repairman?

So, a hospital that can't afford to fly in a specialist is going to purchase a multi-million dollar robot to perform their operations (on pigs)? Sure, Jan

$4.4 billion in outstanding debt, as well. Vulture capitalism is going to eat America alive.

It's very possible to build an eReader with an esp32, but you wouldn't save a lot of money making your own reader. Amazon makes some money on the base model because they are buying 1000s at a time. Part of what you pay for in a Kindle is the fit & finish. It's highly unlikely that you could build a device that would be as watertight as a Paperwhite. The real margin comes from those premium models.
