You also need a powered adapter for HDMI 2.1 in this case. The passive adapters work, because the DP output on the computer usually supports switching to HDMI output. But for that to work, the driver must support it, so it has the same problem as the HDMI port (which supports 2.1 on a hardware level, but not with AMDs open source drivers)

If you want 120Hz, only active adapters will work, which cost around 40$. If you don't, the included HDMI 2.0 will be enough

If you don't need 120Hz, you don't need HDMI 2.1. You can get 4k @ 60Hz with the HDMI 2.0 that the Steam Machine has, so you can use just any TV.

Passive DP-to-HDMI adapters only work if the device on the Displayport end supports Dual-Mode, i.e. using the Displayport to send an HDMI signal. They often do, but it would require the same driver support for HDMI 2.1. So this would require an active adapter.

I remember seeing a documentary about a village in Germany, where many houses were damaged by geothermal plants, caused by water entering layers where it usually didn't reach and the material there taking in water and expanding. So it probably depends a lot on the local geology and also on the depth. I sadly don't remember how deep the one in the documentary was.

I know a few people that got geothermal heating installed for their homes (in Germany), which goes a lot less deep than something intended for whole cities or districts. The one at my friend's home is 50m deep, and it looks like anything less than 400m is considered "near surface"

I don't think it makes sense to compare those efficiencies, as one is for converting heat to electricity, while the other is for converting sunlight. If you use sunlight to heat water and then use that for a steam turbine, the efficiency is similar to a photovoltaic panel. The efficiency numbers are still useful, but only when they refer to the same starting point for the conversion (e.g. only comparing things that turn heat into electricity).

Thank you, from a quick glance it seems to be able to do everything I need. I will try it for my next load test.

The only thing I still use Postman for at work is when running API performance benchmarks, as I wasn't yet motivated enough to write a curl wrapper to do such tests and plot the results. Especially when doing things like ramp up etc. it becomes more than a simple for-loop.

Can someone recommend an existing command line tool for that?

Ps, this gave me an idea for possible vegetarian branding: names like "not a burger" seem to still be allowed, so a line of foodstuffs called "not a sausage" etc might be fun.

That's definitely gonna happen, there's already a plant drink brand named "this is not m*lk" (including the censoring) in Germany, as here a similar ban is already in effect for the word "milk" to exclude soy milk / oat milk / ...

Also, even zsh scripts don't read your .zshrc by default.

The author seems to be Ellis Rosen (I searched based on the signature in the comic)

As far as I know, if the vehicle's top speed is not above 6km/h, there are a lot less rules in Germany, e.g. you don't need a license and also no TÜV certification. Don't know how fast a barbie car goes though.
