Cool.

Looking forward to hearing about the scaling up.

Nope. It does suck when they do.

In simulations mimicking high-speed environments, the waste-heat system demonstrated great versatility; their system produced up to 56 W for car-like exhaust speeds and 146 W for helicopter-like exhaust speeds, or the equivalent of five and 12 lithium-ion 18650 batteries, respectively.

A great step!

Next is build one.

Then cheap-ish and durable.

Oh, no. I don't mean USA government. I do mean some governments, but also any company between here an there.

Imagin that your company wants to sell user data. There are limits on what your company can sell due to contracts or laws, due to having a relationship with the customers.
Your company leases internet connections from another company, ISP or not, that can sell the data. Sending the data without SSL provides an okay, if not ideal, method to move that data.

Maybe they want 3rd parties snooping?

They don't need to be to be vilified.

Phrasing.

A Linux maintainer wants to keep quality high. Objects to adding complexity to codebase.

Right or wrong, we want the maintainers focused on quality and maintainability.

Debian and a BSD (FreeBSD is nice) can run for years without a reboot.

Certain activities will often push a machine to crash. 3D gaming, network drive mounts on an unstable network, and some drivers.

No distro is going to fix a true hardware problem.

Maybe that one plus where the parties are this weekend.

Apparently, a lot.

It is weird interacting with those couples too. Sometimes they just play a role with their spouse and have to get away from them to be themselves.

They are as miserable as it sounds.

I intended to make a joke about leaving the screws out, but there are only 5. (Plus nuts and bolts.)

10 springs though. A lot more than I anticipated.

 

I don't understand the Nintendo Switch. How many do I need for a family of gamers?

They are a personal device like a gameboy.
There is a TV version for party games.
The games may or may not be shareable, even with the physical games.
Assume the ideal usage is during screen time on a weekend.

I have been avoiding buying one as I don't understand them. Thinking of getting them soon.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person, then one copy of each game per device.

How is this affordable?

I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

 

"I don't know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don't, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop ... if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It's a study. We're not losers, are we?"
