Do you ever stop making a fool of yourself on here or is it your hobby?

You ever stopped to wonder why so many data centres are building their own gas turbine generators? But hey, I'm sure they'll all be solar or wind powered one day! Jesus...

The sun doesn't shine at night and the wind doesn't always blow. Apart from that renewables are a perfect green solution.

Unreliable in the sense that its provided 60% of france's power since the 1960s? I'll take that.

"and with a bit of planning nuclear"

Unfortunately the 20th century "greens" (in reality left wing anti west agitators who deliberately conflated nuclear power with nuclear weapons) put paid to any sensible nuclear program in most of the west except France. And in germany they closed all their nuclear plants only a few years back and switched to burning lignite FFS. Yes, they have solar and wind but it hardly makes up for the loss of the nuclear base load.

... I can see not many people bothering to pay for it.

Can someone explain why EVs only seem to need tiny instrument clusters without any kind of sun shield? Are EV drivers eyes much better than ICE drivers and does the sun see its an EV so doesn't shine on the screen?

Maybe you missed it, but Dell isn't really interested in selling End User Compute (EUC) to compete with Apple. The great majority of their profits come from datacenter equipment and EUC is a nice run-rate business to shore up the real money maker. I don't even think they care too much about selling AI laptops.

For the laptops they have, they're decent business class machines with support contracts which mean that they can be serviced anywhere in the world. Yes, Apple makes sleek and shiny things - but for a laptop that's going to be left on the roof of an Uber, have coffee dumped on it, or left in a Starbucks and then remote wiped... Apple isn't worth the premium for most companies. Less options for software, patching tools, and remote management also play a role too - but that's not as much of an issue as it used to be. Generally speaking tho, when you're buying 1500-2000 laptops at a time you'll opt for the Camry over the Lexus.

I imagine number of things could have caused tiny variations and in fact probably theory states that a perfectly even mixture is far less likely than an uneven one due to random variation.

Huh? If dark matter doesn't react in any way with electromagnetic radiation it will have zero effect on the background temperature.

How would you see the effects of it if it barely interacts with matter or energy other than gravitationally? It could respond to a number of forces that have no equivalent in the ones we currently know of. The standard model is incomplete ergo it cannot by definition rule out things not in it.

To be frank, if they don't know what it even is I fail to see how they can have any idea about how it interacts with its itself or what any of physical properties are other than gravitational. And maybe dark energy is the dark matter universe version of electromagnetism.

But I still find it fascinating that there may be a whole dark matter universe amongst us that we dont know about with maybe structure and even life? Perhaps theres some dark matter professor right now trying to figure out what that missing 20% of the universes mass is made of.

Because unless the author is mentally unwell that incoherent rant was written by machine.

The whole quality german engineering approach died years ago. These days german cars are built-to-a-price plastic crap. I too owned a recent BMW - a 3 series - got rid of it after 9 months. Awful interface, piss poor fuel economy and a driving position that became uncomfortable on long journeys. Plus once they get your money they don't want to know. I had a warranty repair and the service staff couldn't have been more indifferent and borderline rude. Will never get another.

Ignorant prick. Is this the crap you tell your sister in bed at night?
