I would do what I always do and build my own computer. But as for what you should do, probably get a pre-built with AMD GPU, without operating system to avoid paying for Windows, and then follow Valve’s instructions here to install SteamOS: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/65B4-2AA3-5F37-4227

using a pozidrive bit on a Phillips head

So many people don’t even know Pozidriv exists, even in technical jobs. It keeps surprising me.

Can’t be that viral if the tiktok is already two months old. I think they are just too bad at journalism to check their sources.

Queensland, Australia.

here in Australia we have cameras that detect phone usage while driving. The fine itself is issued after a person verifies the photo.

The case in the headline was actually in Queensland, but gadgetreview.com seems to be a terrible site that doesn’t give a shit what it’s even reporting on.

Since the article appears to be mostly a weird collection of badly referenced random cases, let me give you the primary source on the case in the headline:

Edit and also to save you having to go to tiktok, here’s a frame extracted from the video:

Note, this was in Alexandra Headland in Queensland in Australia. So no idea why the article cites Georgia law…

Also this is relevant: https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/road-safety/mobile-phones

Illegal mobile phone use while driving includes:

• holding it in your hand
• resting on any part of your body (eg. your lap or shoulder)

If you hold your phone or have it on your body, you will be fined even if you’re not operating the phone, or it’s turned off.

In Tokyo haben die echt solche Würfel, allerdings nach oben offen.

Oh shit sorry. And thanks for the correction. I guess the other thing isn’t through yet, then. All I can find is that the coalition agreed to it with each other.

Today it went through parliament for real.

Trotz der Kritik setzte sich die Koalition im Bundestag mit 318 Ja-Stimmen gegen 286 Nein-Stimmen durch. Vier Abgeordnete enthielten sich.

Are you listening to yourself? Because a 4 cm² solar cell fits in a 170 g calculator, that means that 200-300 m² of solar cells will be fine for the 35 ton turbine blades at around π/2/s of angular momentum with the outer radius of 100m? Those concepts are barely related.

You have no idea if the fiber glass blades have the tensile force to spare to deal with 3 tons of extra weight from the panels alone, or what it will do to the bearings in the generator if you load them 10% or 15% more, or how much flat panels will fuck up your blade aerodynamics, or how expensive it will be to get custom curved panels to preserver the aerodynamics.

Just hand waving everything that stands against your idea away as solvable is magical thinking, not visionary brilliance.

Wind turbine blades have a lot of surface area that could be covered in solar panels, which solves the issue of solar panels energy output decreasing with heat because then they’d always have built in cooling.

That is a stupid idea. Blade weight is one of the biggest engineering issues for wind turbines.

Bandwidth per launch?

The important question is how much bandwidth to the base station does the satellite have, unless the dedicated coverage area per satellite shrinks, that would also help with congestion.

It doesn’t really answer your question, but this article calls the Muttsee the highest reservoir in Europe, at least that’s something.

Good shout.

Here is an older article on the start of construction from a publicly funded news organization:

https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/sci-tech/switzerland-builds-biggest-alpine-solar-plant/46883572

Here is the article from when it was done (September 2022!), but this one isn’t available in English I’m afraid:

https://www.swissinfo.ch/ger/groesste-alpine-solaranlage-der-schweiz-hat-volle-leistung-erreicht/47868356

As a primary source, here’s the project page of one of the involved companies:

Edit: Corrected the first link. Had too many tabs open and posted this one by accident: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/archive-alpine-environment/construction-starts-on-first-large-scale-solar-park-in-swiss-alps/87531886

If a V1 satellite only has 24 Gbit/s in total capacity on its links to the base station, and a V2 mini satellite only 96 Gbit/s, then it’s no wonder really.

Lactase persistence into adulthood is genetic

I am assuming everything other than the two ext4 partitions will have to go.

Your /dev/sda5 the FAT32 mounted at /boot/efi has to stay too! That’s your EFI System Partition, it’s essential for the boot chain.

What you can do is delete the “Microsoft” directory that’s on there, but definitely keep the one named after your distribution!

This is kind of hilarious, the reason ended up being them putting the notices to close to each other temporally:

Several lawsuits followed, with the one that appears to have eventually collapsed the massive project hinging on an ironically small detail. The landmark mega project — roughly double New York’s Central Park’s size with city-sized power needs — collapsed in a domino effect after Virginia courts voided the county’s initial rezoning approval due to improper public notices. The newspaper notices publicizing the hearing at which the project was approved weren’t separated by at least 6 days, as mandated by state and local codes at that time, thereby invalidating the hearing and the resulting approval.

For an intro to real proven methods you can look up how the cooling for the ISS works. It’s quite interesting, but takes a lot of space, for relatively little power.
