While I agree that not chasing further hardware demands is refreshing, it’s also really frustrating to buy a nearly decade old tablet to play games. Many smart phones could run switch games at this point and seeing PCs emulate the switch better than the switch can run natively is exceptionally frustrating.
You can still stream any games that might be more intensive to the Deck from that massive desktop.
CO2 can be used as a refrigerant now
IMO the tax on a car should scale exponentially with the weight of the vehicle because the damage they cause to roads and in collisions.
They’ll just come up with some china exclusive work around law that’s 700 pages and bundled with a bunch of draconian bullshit laws.
It’s so hard to buy anything now-a-days without being tied to some kind of labor violation.
Pretty sure most windows users hate their OS right back.
I agree but there’s a huge problem with this and cars. A phone battery is inconsequential but having double the battery you need in a car is hundreds of kilos you didn’t need and this just makes the car use the battery capacity faster. The Hummer EV for instance is nearly 200kwh of potential storage and 9,000lbs.
As charging networks improve, you ideally want just enough range to make it to chargers when you’d normally want to get out of the car anyway.
I know. You missed my point.
Nobody should go that long driving without a break. When people talk about only being able to drive for 2-3 hours on a charge I’m glad to finally get out of the car and walk around.
They could do it manually for some reason.
That’s not even what I said. Why talk to people if you have no intent of actually listening? Talk about an unpleasant person to talk to.
Ideally busses shouldn’t even be used in situations like that as rail is significantly more efficient but a train wouldn’t want to slow for one passenger either.
And there are fewer cars per km in rural areas. Do you think the dirt owns cars?
18 lane monstrosities are connections between the dense cities/burbs. We’re talking two lane highways here, nobody builds an 18 lane freeway to a town with 50 people in the middle of nowhere. At best they will build a freeway THROUGH the middle of nowhere but the nowhere wasn’t the purpose of the freeway, the connection to another major city was.
There are select instances where they are a greener option than transit. If you live in rural areas with really low density it is often cheaper and greener to not build mass transit systems there. But I’m really just splitting hairs here.
That doesn’t make any sense. Currency outside a nation isn’t laundering, USD is used as a trade medium around the world even when not trading with US banks or entities. Idk why you’re saying that “billions a day” is taxpayer money or something and it wouldn’t fix around the country, it’d go into the military like usual.
It’s also just the scale of Denmark. The US has billions pulled from the US every day and it’s not a problem but the US isn’t a small country of 6 million people.
By how we’re not going to make the 1.5 degree global warming target and how AI can’t even draw fingers. I’m not too sure humanity wont kill everyone first.
Realistically the heat added via electricity is likely going to be added to the compressor itself not the radiator so ofcourse the radiator will be cooler. Also, a laptop charger has to convert from AC to DC so they will always consume more than the listed power output.
If we want to really dive into the depth of the subject though, more thermal energy is created, stored, and radiated in heat islands from cars than air conditioning. You’d be hard-pressed to heat the planet via electricity when the sun is really the thing doing all the work here. If the AC is powered via solar it’s a big nothing burger really, especially if the solar panels are in the same geographical area as there would be no exporting energy to different locations.
Now, let’s consider all the cars, planes, and asphalt that will be used for the olympics. Seems to me the best way to reduce the effects of climate change in this scenario is to not have the olympics unless it is walked to.
