yes, but panels can be made cheap enough and there is plenty of surfaces you can plaster them on. To just put them on roofs was very much the right choice compared to say Desertec. When you look into it then Desertec would have been a huge

exactly - I would call this the "forgetting the entertainment value" fallacy :) Also you can't turn your time into money as fungible as spending money is. So Tme is more "liquid" than cash. That said I got a 3d prin

cough there is a common module with an esp32-s2 you can grab for 2EUR. Its cheaper than i can get a pro micro clone. look for "s2-mini" on Ali. I cannot fathom somebody still using an arduino nano.

maybe processes that are persistent get pinned anyway and this would only impact process or thread thrashing where each job is small.

If i skimmed this correctly then its a malus on performance not a complete cliff. I guess people just thought "hohum - there gotta be some overhead in scheduling".

Since the EU law is about making batteries "removable with normal tools" one could argue that encapsulating the battery like a camcorder battery with a plastic hull isn't needed. A normal pouch with contacts will do. Assumin

In the apple devices i have seen the insides off there is plenty of room to add screwed brackets that hold the battery in - the battery does not fill all available space because even pouch cells are basically rectangles. That means in every

So your argument is that it doesn't happen all that often? Also you have to remember that war isn't the only option the US has pulled. I mean the general low cost solution was just paying some terrorists to boot out the government

Isn't it sorta easy to generate? Just take a look at the Wikipedia article - just heating ammonia generates it (if the product is a bit wet so run it through a tank of kitty litter). Looking into it more a glycol might work in absorbin

yes, but how much of that was more that the laptop vendors for those models simply chose better RAM chips while the slower binned part got sold as mainstream modules? What I mean is that your example might just be caused by something else n

They were soldering RAM on well before there were performance advantages - actually there were often performance disadvantages as the soldered on RAM was often a slower speed tier than what you could get cheaply just a few years later. So t

It doesn't have to be that way. Its entirely feasible to make a microsd card with a better controller and some ram buffer for fast wear leveling. The best we see today is some mild tuning for IO in A1 and A2 cards. You have to remember

The mass isn't directly correlated to the gravity (~5-6G assuming rocky planet density in this case) and the amount of atmosphere also isn't guaranteed. It might have an atmosphere that merely doesn't extend as far into space

My point is that 25, 100, or 5000 years is not a long time in this case. The also issue with wood is not that it "cannot be part of the solution". The issue is that it is part of green-washing "solutions" that always cal

you think 25 years is enough to store CO2 in? even 1000 years is not enough since we will need to entomb all available wood. But that is all stupid anyway because of this: To start reversing the CO2 emission we would need as many trees it t

the Sad thing is those were not sucking CO2 out of the Atmosphere for a long time - they were just carbon neutral because trees and wood does not last forever and decaying wood releases the CO2 back in to the air. That means you cannot plan

There is no place to store all that - and don't say depleted gas and oil wells since those are ruined as long term storage by whats been done to them to get the oil or gas out. So you need to build the structures to keep 20km³ of lique
