Of course, your opinion is yours to have, but honestly, the world has moved on from USB-A for new computers/phones/peripherals. I just bought a couple of those: https://www.amazon.com/Basesailor-Thunderbolt-Convert

At least in software development, SO is/was very useful, as they provide a curated repository of Q/A where the answers follow the current state of tech. Every time I started out learning a new framework, SO would be tremendously h

I can live with a couple of songs no longer being downloadable and not resellable. I have my music "purchases" locally and can move them to a new device, back them up, etc. But with a 4k EUR bike getting bricked, I'd be very

Looks like a rocket stage to me, it's made of glassfiber wound into form and baked with resin.

Sad to see them go, I liked their design very much. I wasn't in the market for an e-bike yet, but I would have considered a VanMoof. However: >they can end up bricked in their basic state, since their working is tied closely to the

The problem with nuclear is that there is no cheap form factor of nuclear reactors available right here and now, it's all "in the future...". Current NPP designs have painfully high CAPEX, way more so than solar. And just sla

It's not a separate discussion, in fact it's at the core of the current problems. The original idea was to get rid of nuclear and coal and use gas as an intermediate step till renewables would be competitive. Then Merkel happened

It matters a lot. First, if demand is not there, installed capacity isn't fully utilized. Since production costs of existing renewable installations is lower than carbon-based plants, a lull in demand will automatically increase the re

And which power source doesn't create externalities that are not factored into the price?

>we will need to double our capacity from gas (yay) Notably, green gas, not fossil gas. You can call that conventional, but it's not adding CO2 emissions. According to their study, the CO2 factor would fall from 460g/kWh in 202

Nowhere on p 25 can I find this. Maybe you mean p 27, and I don't get what argument you are trying to make. Yes, there would be more gas capacity, but for green gas.

Destatis claims the reason is that demand was measurably lower than 2022: https://www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/2023/06...

Just to add: the German NPPs were not able to regulate output fast, b/c they were of an older generation.

With all due respect, renewables are not decades away, they are at a major inflection point right now. While I deplore the shuttering of Germany's NPPs, nuclear would not have been a solution to the decarbonization challenge, as the ti

But if it's IP-based, it's completely unreliable. My home DSL gets a new IP# every 24h and I know that is not uncommon in Europe at least. I bought it both for Mac and iOS, and I would be responsible for hundreds of false-positive

I'm not visiting a restaurant to get food the fastest way, I do it to relax, for the experience, to talk to whoever is with me. I just hate QR workflows for that. Do it for fast food joints, but not in proper dining places.

I switched to iPhone 13 Mini because there's no recent and small Android phone anymore. On the Mini, you can easily reach that screen edge. Which just drives home the point that those gigantoscreens are a bad idea.

I don't own the company. I will push back a bit, but if management insists on using the foot-gun, why would I get on their bad side? They are adults as well and if they don't agree with me, I do as they tell me.
