The efficiency goes down significantly with those temperatures, given that most sources of waste heat are low-temperature (such as datacenter heating water, waste water, etc - places where it makes economically and ecologically sane to extr

Nespresso's taste is least likely to be anything anyone is looking for in a good espresso. That high pressure causes some odd taste notes and it would cause channeling in the puck. Not to mention all sort of other issues which start al

AMD's FOSS drivers for Windows gaming? Where? As the article said, the real problem is in the gaming optimizations on older APIs. You need to optimize the driver for each game basically, thus every supported game adds more and more lin

Personally I followed the rootfs way of installing Fedora to WSL2. It was simple enough and worked fine (including podman). I found no reason to use external tools / scripts / modified distros. Sadly, some anti-cheat tools in game

Regardless of what he said, do you think Visa / Mastercard should be content filters? What if you said something bad about MasterCard's services? "Oops, no more credit cards for you" ? This kind of monopolies should be t

There are some headsets (such as Audeze Penrose) that use 2,4GHz wireless instead of Bluetooth. Penrose's latency is reported to be 16ms. At least for games, that's good enough and noticeably better than anything over BT I've

Well, we also blow up billions in missiles that achieve nothing. So, why not smash some particles instead?

Games, yes, games. We're talking about laptops here, not mobile phones. PC gaming industry is huge and continues to be (even in the future iterations you talk about). When it comes to projections, the ~1300€ laptops are not going to be

Living in a bubble is always nice though. How many laptops are even used as laptops? Most of the world is not using Apple laptops and is not going to. The Facebook community around you might, but that's not the entire world. The "

Why would it cause NATO more expenses? Finland takes care of patrolling the border, just like before. There's no intention to get foreign troops to guard our borders (or even foreign troops at all in Finland beyond exercises).

There's no need to make any new connections. This is just a push of a button in the computer to make them have electricity again. As long as there's no sanctions against Yandex itself, then there's no legal reason to prevent

Which modern PC draws 30W when off? When mine is off, the electricity calculator states 0W (the draw is less than it can register). Even for sleep mode that would be huge. 30W is about the normal modern PC idle (on, but not doing anything)

Unless this has changed in the recent times, then yes you will get your money back as whole. If you have all the pieces, the bank (at least in Finland central bank will) will trade it to a new one and the old one is demolished. It is pretty

Solar is not a viable solution in the north. The energy usage goes up when solar generation goes down. For wind, we're too small country - there are always days without any wind. There are even days without any wind in nearby countries

We don't import a lot of LNG from Russia. Gas coming from Russia comes through the pipes, not LNG. However, we don't even use gas a lot in Finland (it accounts 3% of the total energy production). The electricity prices are through

NUCs are smaller than the Mac Studio. Desktop PCs are comically large only if you want that comically large amount of extension capability. Which you can't get with any Macs.

And that usually plays to the advantage of the elite. Now the working class has only one supporter, the Russian government. Their propaganda of "west hates you" feels very real to them now. This is quite age old tactic that usuall

EU is definitely not a synonym to Europe. That would exclude UK, Norway and other countries that are certainly in Europe. I've never heard anyone even thinking those two things are the same.

No, a lot of saunas in Finland are electric heated. But they're still only 3*16A at most (and usually a lot less, but that depends on the size of the sauna). I think mine is ~7kW and still heats the sauna to high temperatures, just tak

$1100 Air has 60Hz screen, which is equal to oldest LCDs found in laptops. That's not a good screen, that's horrible. Resolution isn't everything.

Nexus phones were cheap compared to iPhone, that was their whole differentiation. For example, Nexus 5 launched at $349 while at the same time iPhone 5 launched at $649. There's nothing comparable in those prices. If you really did buy

Defence is not that different from offence. An offensive task such as destroying enemy artillery behind their borders or their service routes is an effective way to defend. If the enemy has nothing to attack with, then defending is a lot ea
