The OP is a significant outlier - the UK average is around 7.4kWh/household/day[0], or 11.2kWh specifically for large households. [0] https://www.britishgas.co.uk/energy/guides/average-bill.html

I was really surprised too - our family (with electric car and a lot of tech) uses only a third of the energy used in TFA! Still, even with our lower usage, solar still makes sense (especially with a South-facing roof) because electricity i

Are you able to quantify the performance improvement, e.g. in FPS on particular games? Curious as to how CachyOS does it.

After publicly shaming NameCheap on Twitter, NameCheap backed down a little. They've still de-platformed genocide.live, but released the DNS name so the owner could transfer it out. IIRC, they are using a "free speech" provid

A lot of reading there, thanks!

x2048 is a lot though! Maybe we should let the robots figure out their own solution, rather than trying to make every atom on Earth individually addressable :)

You might want to look into the history of why South and Central America have been blighted by corruption and dictators - the USA has had a large hand in it.

Could you point to some sources please? Every time I see Putin talk on Ukraine, he clearly expresses the very opposite, so I'd like to see where he's said otherwise.

It'll be the usual playbook: replace Maduro with a pet dictator. It won't go well for Venezuela and it's people, but since when did the USA give a damn about people?

What for? The ICC is only "allowed" to take down criminals with the approval of Western govs.

Utterly shameless drivel.

> It is a nuclear state, but so are France and Britain. What makes it anymore rogue than them? The fact that Israel refuses inspections, something that no other country on Earth is permitted to do. > Well the number of people in Gaza

We're not discussing conspiracy theories, or sanctioning of Russia for that matter - this is about EU journalists being sanctioned for reporting in good faith.

by GordonS 9mo ago
You've side-stepped my question entirely - should we really be sanctioning journalists? Is that really a sign of healthy democracy and free speech?
106.
by GordonS 9mo ago
Regardless, should we really sanction our own citizens simply for reporting, in good faith, something that goes against the state-sponsored narrative (true or otherwise)? This is legit the kind of stuff we used to use as examples as why &qu

Isn't it difficult not to be biased against an apartheid, rogue nuclear state with a history of terrorism that is currently carrying out a genocide?

by GordonS 9mo ago
The problem there is that the EU has started copying the USA, and has just recently sanctioned multiple journalists for telling stories that don't align with their narrative on Russia/Ukraine.

Wow, not my experience of Ryanair at all! I was only able to get a refund by calling my bank and opening a section 75 dispute.

Can an apartheid state really be considered a democracy?

I read it more as "kin-kora", TBH.

Anyone know how to check if an Android device is infected?

Highly unlikely. Despite the rampant anti-Chinese FUD that's so prevalent in the media (and, sadly, here on HN), China isn't really in the habit of invading other lands.

Are you using a US-based transactional email service like Twilio? Curious about EU-based alternatives.

Yet so many Americans really do believe that China is the boogey man de jour, out to steal their freedom. How many armed conflicts or foreign coups has China started or supported in the past 50 years? What about America? How many people has

by GordonS 11mo ago
I think the explanation is European states spreading FUD, to manufacture further hatred of Russia and consent for an escalation of hostilities.

Israel has nothing to do with this. The horrific, indiscriminate genocide of Palestine and the creeping invasion of Lebanon and Syria are all happening right now in 4K. People nowadays know that you can't destroy thousands of vehicles

Are you aware of any photographic evidence of civilian deaths inside Tiananmem Square? I recently read a bit more about the Tiananmem Square incident, and I've been shocked at just how little evidence there actually is.

by GordonS 11mo ago
I appreciate you responding in good faith; I realise that not everyone is willing to even consider questioning historical accounts. The page you linked to is interesting, but AFAICT doesn't provide any photographic evidence of civilian

Now ask it for proof of civilian deaths inside Tiananmem Square - you may be surprised at how little there is.
