There's no way it makes it two weeks.

Still better than working for Electronic Arts.

Yeah...

The good ones are designed for repairability, because that's done by field service technicians.

Not only is literally every part replaceable, they provide a detailed list of which parts will and won't void the warranty and the warranty ones are a surprisingly small list. Things like replacing our even removing the SSD don't do if you don't have on site repair, or are very untrusting, you can return the laptop without the data on it for repair and reinsert they SSD when you get it back.

Oh also, and this is a really nice touch, the back has captive screws so they're really hard to lose during a repair.

I suppose there are some other crap models but I've not encountered them.

AKA "bomb them until the rubble bounces".

Who's the power provider? I see agreements on chip supply, but not on the electricity.

While the US just repaid a French company a billion dollar deposit to cancel offshore wind farms, China has constructed the largest wind turbines in the world for their newest wind farms.

https://kdwalmsley.substack.co...

This is the world’s largest offshore wind turbine. It is off of Fujian province, in South China. It generates enough power for 44,000 households, or over a hundred thousand people. It displaces 22,000 tons of coal per year. This unit is part of a large farm 30 km offshore, where there are already a number of 16-megawatt turbines, and when those were installed, they were the world’s largest.

It’s a breakthrough in engineering, that this much output comes from a single turbine, instead of a group of them working together, and experts say that it will inform future wind farms. That’s also a region that sees frequent severe storms.

This was all hard to do, then, and we’re curious why the Chinese bothered at all. It required a ship to be specially designed and built, just to get the turbine into position. Having it out there means that China can leave 22,000 tons of coal in the ground they otherwise would have hauled to the surface and set on fire . . .

In December, the Interior Department announced an immediate pause on offshore wind projects under construction in the United States, due to national security risks identified by the Department of War. The government found that big turbine blades create radar interference, and obscure legitimate moving targets and generate false ones.

It’s not great to learn that our money-no-object Pentagon has radars that can’t tell the difference between a supersonic bomber flying toward Washington, or a windmill floating off of Long Island Sound. And it’s also not great that the White House has just told the rest of the world that our radars are that bad. This should be in a super-top-secret Pentagon report, instead of a press release from the White House.

Currently hydrogen production emits methane as it's produced in the Untied States

FTFY

Electricity in China is less than half the price as anywhere in the US, and at that cost hydrogen production by electrolysis becomes viable.

No, it has a GWP100 of 11.6, CO2 is the reference chemical so its GWP100 is 1. Methane is 81. So a kilo of released H2 has the global warming potential of 11.6 kilograms of carbon dioxide, while NH4's potential is equivalent to 81 kilograms of CO2.

Bounties are incentives to do the legwork to discover flaws. If the cost of that discovery drops to near zero, the queue is jammed as a result, and the capacity to remediate is oversubscribed, you should stop paying bounties.

Nobody is saying you should stop fixing bugs. Only that the process of identifying them has been devalued. Which it has.

If you thought what they could fake in the late 60's was impressive, imagine what they an do now.

It just sucks to see them screw up the illusion with such trivial mistakes. Are you seriously expecting me to believe they'd go with a broken toilet? Or use Outlook?

This isn't the worst idea. Reasonably effective, and, honestly, held in the hands of a company that, while being wildly profitable, has generally been a good steward of personal info. If it's being forced by regulation, I guess I'd rather have them do it than almost anybody else.

Money for bounties is not infinite. If the pace of claims is so large that you can't fix them all and you can't afford to pay the bounties, you stop. Makes perfect sense to me.

Indeed. Major oil trades consistently less than one minute before some other blather Rump releases obviously designed to move markets? Nope, nothing fishy here, just business as usual. . .

As a rule, no, in part because they grow in two entirely different environments, plus ayahuasca doesn't keep well. I can't really imagine the cross-effects, but it would be weird. Psilocybin tends to be best when done alone, especially when surrounded by nature. Ayahuasca on the other hand is almost always done in groups, where it can generate hallucinations experienced by the entire group at once (which is weird to even contemplate).

Unless I'm missing something, this ruling is just plain weird. Does contract law work differently in Italy?

This is not a long term contract. If Netflix was offering a price for, say, a two year commitment, then I get the objection to arbitrarily changing the terms. But to my knowledge, they are month to month, meaning the contract is for the month, and by agreement a new contract is created each month

Going back to those previous contracts seems like nonsense.
