Most of western Europe has an electricity grid to distribute power. When the wind is blowing it covers domestic needs or exports, when it's not blowing it imports nuclear power, or Solar etc.

Everything "goes up" when Elon first gets near it. That's the benefit of an army of Twitter worshippers. Whether there is any lasting value to his involvement beyond the pump is the question. If he kills the stupid pop-over l

This is why people should be issued a work phone (or children a school laptop in the case of the OP) if the IT department is going to request control of it. A while ago my company eventually decided to enable security settings for Microsoft

For home use I've not had any problems with their AP hardware. But it's definitely not been stressed. I was just after something that has enterprise features but not the price. routerOS covers that soundly (almost too well as the

I put them on a personal black list when there was some shenanigans with them using GPL code and not releasing their modified source, or something. That was years ago.

Ukraine is not short of donations, they don't need money from the country currently destroying their cities and committing war crimes. What they are asking for is more sanctions (which the Crypto utoptia is supposed to make impossible)

As the parent said, if Crypto ever became a threat to government control of their economies it will be regulated. In fact the blockchain protocol provides the audit trail to enable the regulation. Any anonymous chains like Monero will be bl

Russia is more worried about a democratic Ukraine joining the EU than a far-right government. A democratic country on their boarder is far harder to control from Moscow, simply look at Belarus for proof of that. Nutty dictator in the pocket

I didn't realise until recently (either I forgot it from history lessons at school, or it was glossed over in a way to diminish the French/Norman influence) how much the Norman conquest brought technological skill to England. The

You have to use the enterprise "long term service branch" (or channel as i think it is now) if you want a sane version of Windows 10. Most of the annoyances are removed from there, and you can stick with an older version and not b

Not when you look at the restrictions imposed on citizens, there are comments here about office blocks being locked down for 48hrs and everyone tested. Plus all the regional lockdowns where people were forced to stay indoors that were repor

Well, it depends who you are at war with. If Russia was rolling tanks through (more of) eastern Europe WW2 style then just out of self preservation other EU countries would want to commit forces to defend against that. Helping France keep c

Right now it is worthless, anything on RT about the "special military operation" is 100% propaganda. It's just fun watching their presenters try to act normal.

The anti-nuclear movement so clearly benefits Russian energy exports it's laughable. The definition of "useful idiot". Sure, in the years after Chernobyl it is expected there would be a genuine fear. But now we understand wha

In the West just not wasting food is an easy first step. Businesses are most guilty of this. If there was a genuine crisis regulating food waste would help.

It reads like a lore-dump pickup in a video game. The sort of thing you would find in plain sight in Call of Duty or similar. Maybe COD is more realistic than i thought...

No one is "building a fortress around Russia", least of all the Western allies. The Russian western border is a small part of their territorial limits. Ukraine is an independent country and can decide who they want to ally with, c
