Because 1) EU laws defend the customers a lot more and 2) US companies have already so much power and money, they can fuck over you easier, and you don't have easier alternatives, or at least some people pretend you don't

I wonder why apt search on ubuntu and debian must be so bad: on mint each package has a single line and an easy letter telling you if the program is installed or not. On debian/ubuntu each program takes multiple lines, are all green and the only way to distinguish installed ones is to look for an (installed) string at the end of the first line. I like Mint's apt version so much

Why is the Enterprise NX-01 missing a nacelle?

Pretty sure TNG did it way before with the traveller episode

That feels so bad for signal integrity, especially at 5+ GT/s

Also doesn't that mean Mr. Robert here fed chatgpt some numbers, that are presumably in the 120-130 range?

As far as I know it's common pratice to include chemical markers in explosives unique to the factory, so if the explosive get stolen/used in an unauthorized manner the investigators can trace back were they were trafugated.

Maybe they also include high visibility pieces of plastic as a visual markers. If so on them there would be printed some identifying information like lot number, manufacturing date and factory address.

And brakes as well. EV are, for the most part, greenqashing designed to sell you more cars you wouldn't need in a better designed world.

My "everyone" was a bit too wide I think. I'm not talking about everyday people of course. I'm talking about 50+ employees companies, that would save money by hiring a sysadmin and running their own servers. I know of companies with thousands of employees that pay millions on Azure and AWS and have no in-house infrastructure. That's how you get to Amazon running half of the internet

If you tell me gasoline yeah probably (diesel generator to power electric motors is done in big ships), caol I highly doubt it.

But apart from pollution per se, an electric car used everyday would require at least 50% of a household power budget to charge (2-3 kW). If every single ICE vehicle would be immediately swapped to electric, I doubt many countries would be able to cope with the increased power consumption. That's why we need more energy infrastructure before a full switch. Or you know, less cars and more public transport.

Electric vehicles are not a solution for environmental problems, not now at least, they pollute when building the batteries and, unless nuclear energy is widespread, they will be powered by coal/gas making them pretty polluting. They will be a solution only when we have cleaner energy available.

Bonus: people should stop being lazy and learn to setup a server infrastructure instead of using "the cloud". Your data are safer, you save money and give less power to gargantuan cloud companies.

I know, but many people barely know what "supported hardware even mean", they will see the message " this computer won't receive any more updates" and simply buy a new one.
