Great and all, but this is a literal press release. It could be PR spruiking, it could be pump’n’dump play, it could be friggin genuinely great. No way to know from a press release.
Three men walk into a bar. The American says, “actually that’s only 1 3/23 men in FreedomTM units”.
This is one area where Apple has it pretty right. A Mac will do somethings when ‘asleep’ like download emails and texts. It also can broadcast its location if the ‘Find Me’ function is on. If it’s plugged into power then backups will also run, and background app updates will happen. It does this in a low power mode, so it won’t get hot enough to need fans. It’s worked flawlessly for 20 years. Meanwhile all our PCs are set to ‘never sleep’ and just get shutdown when not in use. I never trust a PC laptop to wake successfully from sleep just by closing the lid.
It’s not even quite that - the article suggested they raised the commercial equivalent of the 12% through competitive auction. These allow the bidders a set price over 20 years.
So it’s cheaper than buying in fossil fuels, the suppliers get certainty, and they achieve close to complete decarbonisation using private investment.
How good is that?
I’m not being facetious or unkind here, but for many 10’s of thousands of years we have been developing meaningful social circles by seeing people in person. Just give it a go!
It’s a big WHOOOSH, but I actually do respect all the people getting as far as reading ‘https://twit…’… and saying ‘fuck that’.
No. Hydrogen peroxide is the best disinfectant. Beats sunlight by a long long margin.
Bleaching Nazis on the internet is basically what OP is calling for, and by your own analogy, they’re right.
Dude. It’s an app, not your wife.
Maximally hilarious.
The whole premise of ads on Twitter is that they’re targeted.
IBM don’t sell consumer crap. They sell smoke and mirrors to major governments and industry. They’re chasing jobs worth millions per pop. They want ads to target the people making those decisions.
The good old Google way. I’ve no idea why so many people are so willing to hand over everything to them. Say what you like about Apple, but at least they’re not selling your personal info.
Weird take, what’s your beef? They most certainly do slap on huge fines, and are much more aggressive about enforcing privacy requirements than the US/etal.
This is kinda like cursing the worlds fastest sprinter for just not running fast enough.
I don’t see this being very popular in Australia. It misses the mark for why people buy a Ute or dual cab here.
And what is your point exactly?
In the 2019 mega-fires, Sydney hit a max of over 2,500.
It can get a lot worse yet…
Full title - “Amiga runs schools’ air-conditioning, maintenance staffs’ chip tune releases, and the janitor’s Dungeon Master addiction”.
Checking sources twice is something you should do from a news agency that is actually reputable. As in it trades on being honest and accurate.
You’re not obliged to read everything from an outlet that has no track record of honesty and integrity simply because you’ve been beaten around the head with the internet ‘logical fallacy’ meme one too many times.
Thinking that everything you read on the internet should be worth your time to fact check is the ultimate logical fallacy.
You can do this but it makes them even more expensive, because you’ve built an expensive plant for operational capacity that you don’t use.
We should be load following with storage, not nukes.
What the eff is going on here Sydney?
That damn Melbourne community has posts with 400+ comments. Honestly, what is going on here?
It's the middle of winter, so I know we're all still surfing and drinking in the beer gardens while they have nothing to do but chatter while they freeze their nuts off, but still...put some damn effort in people.
Great to see Aussie Zone so active
Browsing through the federated list of communities, it's interesting to see the local Aussie Zone ones so active compared to most. I'm sure we're not seeing every thing, but I imagine that most of the more active communities will be federated here.
Big props to Lodion for getting things off the ground. What a legend! And good on everyone here for getting on board so quickly. You're all bloody legends too!
Went up Lockeys Pylon on Sunday
I’ve been in Sydney for 12 years now and we’re up the Blue Mountains all the time. I’ve been putting off the Lockeys Pylon walk because there’s just so much else to see and do, but yesterday was the day.
And it was a beautiful perfect sunny winter day. So little haze that you could see the CBD towers. And I do love this side of the Grose Valley. Heaps of flowers out, with new wattle just coming in too.
The walk was great, but I think Dr Dark’s cave is my favourite spot in that area.
Where’s your pick in the Blueys?
So what's everyone doing for the long weekend?
I mean, other than procrastinating at work.
