Long before the E.U. legislation went into effect, there were long consultations which standard to adhere too. So tech companies had enough time to read the writing on the wall and move. That was the reason why USB-C was ubiquitous everywhere when the due date came. Apple was struggling for some time, debating the idea, but finally caved with the 16 series.

Your argument is a typical strawman argument. You postulate the idea that the E.U. came up with USB-C as the next standard out of the blue, and then argue that companies were already transitioning when the legislation was finalized. But your postulate is (probably intentionally) wrong.

Not exactly. Personal originally meant "not shared with another person". Originally, it meant a computer only you have access to, only you install and run software, and only you store and retrieve data.

Apparently, you have never installed Nagios. Back in the days, when you ran the install script, it wrote out what it was doing, and then suddenly the lines appeared:

It was the same warning to you to vet any code before executing it.

Pretty high, I would wager. Alcohol and coding don't mix.

I predict the same for the enhanced games. There is not much to win for competitors in the games outside the event. Except for some sellers of questionable supplements, there are probably not many wanting to advertise with steroid-pumped up people, and there are not many other events they can start in. They have to earn all their money with the enhanced games. That means you only get second-level people competing, which will turn the show into some kind of Survivor set on a track and field court.

The article even mentioned the relationship. When laminar flow turns into turbulent flow, aerodynamic drag increases. Turbulent flow in turn is what we hear as noise. You can also reason that noise is acoustic energy, and that noise is a parasitic load on the action we want the fan to do: moving air from one side to the other side.

Doping was done under medical supervision before. It still was not safe. Florence Griffith-Joyner and Marco Pantani both were doped in hospitals, and Eufemanio Fuentes was a physician whose speciality was doping. Being from Europe, I know more of the European side of doping, including the death of Birgit Dressel, who was a patient of University teacher Armin Kluemper.

Someone remember the XFL? This one petered out quickly too.

500 panels per 1000 m^2 is pretty achievable, accounting for whatever roof penetrations and facilities that need to be there. Some of those buildings are outright colossal. Plus, nobody is saying the data centers needs to be completely powered by solar.
Here's the thing: the lions share of power consumption on the grid traditionally comes from cooling. Most cooling needs, outside of the context of data centers, coincides with the sunniest, highest production times for solar panels. There is a great synergy to take advantage of here. It might be that a such a data center / solar farm farm actually produces net power for a portion of the day, covering for residential use or car charging etc. but is a net consumer off peak hours, when it's more efficient to use other means to supply power when most other consumers aren't using as much. Net effect is better grid utilization and reduced costs all around.

Yes. And not every wavelength gets absorbed by cloud cover.

if it's so easy to control, why on did a trained nurse in a US infectious care facility contract it? Never underestimate the ability of governmental incompetency when it comes to letting something happen that shouldn't happen

1. You don't get speeds up to 2.5 Gps easily over several hundred miles without relay stations.
2. To intercept a laser signal, you have to be right in the beam. The same applies for jamming. Cloud cover is a problem for visible light, but not for infrared light.

There are not many U.S. style SUVs sold in the E.U. anyway. They don't fit on many parking lots or in parking garages.

Firefox has an extension called Youtube Custom Speed. You can set arbitrary speeds from .05 to 16x in whatever increments you feel like adding. Not that it helps for the dipshits explaining how to type something in a terminal prompt, but it's definitely handy for speeding through laptop disassemblies and the like.

Chrome does appear to have the same thing so it probably works on whatever browser you like.

In Pocket Casts, the app I use, there's a playback speed control that can go up to 5x. I usually listen to podcasts at about 3x speed, which feels right to me. I lose a little nuance for audio fiction, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

16x audio playback speeds are typical for screen readers for visually impaired users. Maybe your wife configured something like that, but they take practice to get used to. I only have some familiarity with those because I used to have a blind co-worker and had to support his setup.
