And what exactly is wrong with that?
White imperialist christian colonial rapist and plunderer?
Asshole very much? You asshole can rule the planet and the dipshits have to eat dust?

Strange, they are sold everywhere.
Even with the stupid tariffs, they meet your price limit.

Oh, you are living in the USA, where the battery myth/lie is very strong?

Seriously, anyone using a smart TV should have it extremely limited with what it can reach on the internet, and really, probably should have it blocked entirely. I mean, we have cameras in TV's that take photos of who is in the room, and internal snapshots of what is being displayed on the HDMI connections so that it can lookup the show/video/content and match against what (male/female, baby/toddler/child/teen/young adult/adult/senior) and how many people are watching it.

If your computer connects to your TV via HDMI, they already know.

Which turbine?
The steam turbine or the gas turbine?
The gas turbine is synched to the grid in 30seconds or less and on full output in 90sec.

The current price explosions for reactors under construction says otherwise.
And for what exactly would punny 40GW be of wny use?

Not even to question where to build them and how to prevent riots and turmoil?

The people don't want nuclear power. How fucking stupid are your?

Nuclear is not clean.
Hence we exited.

Of course they pay for the grid.
It is just not a seperate Item in the bill.

The electricity price for German households ist easy to Google. So why invent absurd numbers?
https://energie.check24.de/erg...

The cheapest price ist below 30cents. The price ist high because the Power companies can get away with it. That ist all.

Power in your country is likely highly subsidized ...

The percentage of renewables was 64% in 2025, not 56%.

Wow, somebody needs a lesson on proper money management if they can't get by with a six figure income. As stated by some other posters, that is well above the average of $66,622, and also above the median income of $83,730 (in other words, you make more than 1/2 the people in the nation!), even if it is just at $100,000. In fact, only 18% of people in the USA make $100,000 or more per year!

So you are in the top 20% of earners in the USA, and globally, you are somewhere in the top 0.1% of earners (to put some perspective on it)....

So now that you realize you are not only part of the 1%'ers (you are well beyond it from a global point of view, as you only needed ~$34,000 a year to join that club), you need to seriously rethink and put some perspective on a six figure income. You also need to put some thought into the difference between high wealth and high income. If you are simply p!ssing it all away and living paycheck to paycheck trying to "keep up with the Jones's lifestyle", you are absolutely doing it wrong. Trying to follow the latest fad, or fashion, or car craze, or instagram vacation lifestyle just isn't possible without a high wealth, not a high income. When your wealth is such a way that the money you have saved, and invested in stocks, bonds, real-estate, rental properties, and/or businesses simply grows on its own to the point that you don't need to do anything, and it well outpaces what your traditional 6 figure income, well, then you can do things like buy that latest fashion outfit, or go on a six week vacation around the world.... And you get there by working your @ss off when you are young and saving everything you can, eating things like ramen noodles for $0.50 a meal, and drink tap water or home made tea, and only going out to eat a couple times a month, as well as drive a modest car till it is well into it's teenage years of age and finally ditching it when a repair bills to keep it going for the year begin to exceed ~1/8th the price of a new one, and save/invest every remaining dollar you have. You manage to do that in your 20's and 30's and you will be set in your 40's and older, especially if you were earning 6 figures, or even the median US income. The 30 years of interest and growth on properly invested savings should have allowed it to compound ~16x. So if you earned $100,000 and simple saved the approx $16,000 that would have dropped you down to the median income in the USA, in the first year, in 30 years even without saving a single penny more, it would be around $256k, and at around 45 years it would be over $1million. Now image you had been saving $16k each and every year of those 45 years, and never touched it for another 45 years, if you started that at 20 and went until you were 65 year old, you would have effectively 1 million dollars each year showing up in your bank account each year from age 65 until you were 110.

For you having an understanding of the area but not the issues. The main complaints are the noise, in particular the backup warning beeping that are required for operations. These beeps have been captured on decibel meters as hitting 112 dBA!

For reference, Santa Monica has had excessive noise ordiances on the books that the limit is for 50 dBA (for up to 15 minutes) or 55 dBA (for up to 5 minutes) between 10pm and 7am. Being that the decibel levels are a logarithmic scale, 112 dbA is actually over 100,000 times the sound intensity than the ordinance allows (a 10 dbA difference is 10x difference in intensity level). This isn't just a simple small difference. It is the difference of say a "live rock concert" vs the hum from a single, normal home kitchen refrigerator running....

Fundamentally, I agree with your concept. In an idealized world, this is the best method for a public education. The main issue I do have with that is how do you transition to it. You have school districts and states that are historically under-funded for years, even decades. They are in desperate need of massive institutional infrastructure funding, well and beyond what would be an otherwise fair payout per student. Some of these districts need upwards of $1 billion or more needed to get out of buildings that are over 100 years old and have not had an overhaul in over 60 years, with all the included dangers involved of buildings of that age with asbestos, lead paint, lead pipes, and mold/mildew/rodents/insects....

I can't believe it took this long for them to realize people didn't want a camera that they could not fully control within their own private homes possibly recording and displaying everything to random people at the company that built and maintains the device and potentially for anyone who found a security flaw in it.... I mean, really, what a smart item to stick into a TV that might go in say a bedroom, because nothing happens in there that shouldn't be broadcast across the world and saved forever....

What too many people do not seem to understand with LLMs is that everything it spits out is simply a probability matrix based on the input you gave it. It will first attempt to deconstruct the input you provided and use statistical analysis against it's trained knowledge base to then spit out letters, words, phrases and punctuation that statistically resembles the outputs it was trained to produce in it's training materials.

Until this version, ChatGPT obviously suffered from a lack of training materials within it's trained neural network to have it overcome the English language's typed grammar rules for it to be able to discern that em dashes are not typically used in everyday conversations and/or that the input to not use them needed to change it's underlying probability network to be able to ignore the English language's grammar rules and adopt it's output without the use of the em dash. This is a very difficult concept to train into a neural network as it needs to have been training on specifically this input/output case long enough to have that training override the base English grammar language model, which is a fundamental piece of knowledge a LLM requires to function and one of the very first things it is trained to handle.

It also exposes a flaw in how neural networks are typically working. There is a training/learning mode and then there is the functional mode of just using the trained network. In the functional mode, the neural network links, nodes, and function are effectively static. Without having built in-puts to the network so that it can flag certain functionality, it can not change it's underlying probability matrix to effectively forget something it was trained to do. Once that training has changed any of the underlying neural network, you can not effectively untrain it (without simply reverting to a previous backup copy of the network before it was trained). This is why it is so important to scrutinize every piece of data that is used to train the network. One you have added some piece of garbage input training, you are stuck with the changes it made to the probabilities of the output. Any model that is effectively training against the content of the internet itself is so full of bad information that the results can never really be trusted for anything other than probability of asking a random person for the answer because it will have trained on and included phases like "The earth is flat", "birds are not real", and "the moon landing was a hoax". It will have seen those things enough times that it will include them as higher and higher percentages of the proper response to questions about them....
