Small reactors miss out economies of scale that large reactors get access to. Halving the size of a pipe doesn’t halve the cost.

Can I fit it in my pocket? Can I make a call? Take a photo? The steam deck is great, but it’s not build for those things. And there is no reason to cede ground on entire form factors. This behaviour will not stop at phones (or tablets, or s

And use what? A Linux laptop we carry around with us? This is just letting them win. And if you think the forced pushing for control over what we can do with our computers will simply leave Linux alone, I don’t know what to tell you.

Ridiculous argument. You didn’t buy a physical book, you bought the paper, but the words are owned and licensed by the publisher. You will need their permission to read it under an approved light, to sell it again, and even it lend it. Wrap

I believe you mean 21% of University of Maryland’s bachelor degreees were CS. The current phrasing makes it sound like they’re a diploma mill producing 21% of all bachelor degrees in the country.

I will simply echo the dead reply to your comment: It is evident to others that you are arguing in bad faith and constantly moving the goal posts. A discussion of total energy consumption rather than electricity is a completely different

I absolutely agree. I think the only reason they don’t do it for all gasoline cars is because of the cost. If everything is done in software for the EV you have to write that software anyway. Might as well write it to pull more money from y

But that’s not because the car is an EV, that’s because the manufacturer is greedy. The door handles, infotainment, tire pressure gauges, gas cap, etc. all could have a digital locks on them to bless them with DMCA protection.

People do understand the economics: tomorrow the subscription costs 3x more, or they chose to stop supporting it when a new model comes out, or etc. The analogy to software is great though; nobody paying for software owns it, or even has th
