You would just have to try out the AirPods Max to find out :) Personally, I cannot say as I have never owned nor used any of the other AirPods. If you are looking for mobile usage, the Max aren't the best choice. They are large and hea

They explicitly said in the keynote, that you can bring up the screen of your Mac as a virtual display. So it looks like you can use this to work with your Mac.

Why does this matter for the release of this whale kept in captivity and why should the sailors even try to? And of course, how would they go about it? [1] Fortunately, the orca attacs were limited to what is believed to be a single pod off

I don't think that Knuth dismisses it in the sense of a judgement on its values, but rather in the sense that this is not relevant to his work at hand and consequentely distracting from it, however interesting it might be. Knuth seems

I don't think it is a function of the age (other than limiting his available time left for work) but that he is laser-focussed on his actual work in finishing his books. Probably necessary to achieve what he did, but somewhat frighteni

The 747 actually had rather small engines. First of all, it had 4 and they were older-style with low bypass ratio. The 777 isn't that far from 747 capacity, but only sports 2 gigantic engines, they not only need to be more powerful, bu

Actually, I would buy several of them, as I would be only limited by the number of video ports. Considering the slow speed of the eInk, it might even be a better idea to make them plain USB-C with DisplayLink. That should be plenty fast a

As the eInk panel is technically an independent second screen, why oh why don't they offer it as a separate product? I would immediately buy it if I could use it along with the screens I already have (or my laptop without a large extra

Well, it is a bit more complex. There are meetings which you don't think they are absolutely necessary, but if they take place, you want to attend. To have an invisible flag to signal that you rather would skip the meeting sounds like

Warming from greenhouse gases is the driver of the warming, but there are multiplies. Most obvious one is water vapour which is a very powerful greenhouse gas. So the warming caused by the raised CO2 enables more water vapour in the air (wa

I don't know what were the reasons in that situation, but getting the two sailors safe from an uncontrolled vessle is not an easiy task. At least you would have the smaller vessle hit the larger. Depends of course on the weather condit

Well, I am certainly as far from techno-phobia as it might be possible, but oil rigs are examples of machinery which are connected to large damages to the environment. Not so much the machines themselves, but the oil they have been pumping.

I never bought into most of the hype and sci-fi applications pitched for 5G, but from my (German) perspective, 5G has delivered a lot. For me it mostly behaves close to WIFI performance. 4G often had way worse latency and the data speed has

I would strongly say: yes. I was very skeptic, I am a big fan of the book and actually liked the first movie. All newer productions ever failed to excite me - until the new movie. That in my eyes is really well made. Looking forward to the

Sure, but I wonder which basis you have to attack me personally. Especially since we mostly seem to agree on the topic of the discussion.

Right, the alternative are renewables and if the previous governments had not screwed up the transition, coal would play a much minor role now.

Sorry, why would you say such a thing about me? I was actually quite concerned by the absence of a strong international and especially German reaction to the invasion of 2014. Especially it became obvious, that all the Nordstream pipelines

Yes, the problems with solar in Africa powering Europe are mostly political, not technical. Of course, a good intermediate step would be a big roll out of solar in all the southern EU countries. Which will undoubtedly come now that more and

Current calculations from German decommissioning projects point at 10-20 billion per plant.

You are twisting my words. It isn't a fundamental problem with nuclear, but with placing the power plants at the coasts. You might have made cooling easier, but increased the demand for the grid. That can be done, but should be mention
353.
by _ph_ 3y ago
Thanks for showing your skewed view on things. No, renewables are easy to regulate and nothing about them is slow. You can regulate solar in milliseconds, wind in a couple of seconds. They don't have to produce when there is no demand.

Somewhat less coal. We are talking about 3 GW less nuclear in a Grid which draws like 50. And yes, that were only the last nuclear reactors. But a lot of them would have had to be decommissioned anyway and there are still the problems of co

Sounds like a P+R stunt so far to me. But it is doable, there is a working power line from Germany to Norway already. The only question is: is it a good idea to build a direct Morocco-UK power line or would it be more clever to connect Moro

To be honest, there were plenty of warnings. Putins wars in Chechenia, Georgia. And he actually invaded Ukraine in 2014. That was the last date after which the German government should have planned for a future without gas from Russia.

It is not only the death count. Large parts of Bavaria are still contaminated from the Chernobyl accident. They decontaminated most fields, but mushrooms and especial wild boar from the forests (they eat the mushrooms a lot) are only to be

There is also wind. The mix of wind and solar works quite well in Germany. Of course, from the carbon point of view, switching off nuclear before coal is a bad idea. But there are a few considerations to be made and the original plans were

Obviously, Germany has to install way more solar. Unfortunately, the previous governments tried to curb the installation of solar (and wind). But this is quickly changing now. Solar is especially easy to grow as there are plenty of unused a

And one needs to understand that "base load" is mostly a concept important for slow, bad to regulate power plants. In those times, a lot of effort was spent on creating "base load" so the power plants have the least requ
