I think it’s more nuanced than that as the technologies needs time to mature and the supply chains need time to establish. The price of renewables, especially solar and wind, has plummeted faster than anyone ever expected, so arguably it’s cheaper (economically) now.

There’s also the saying “the best time to buy a house is always 50 years ago, the second best time is now”. I don’t see much benefit in regretting yesterday’s decisions.

Little to none so far. This might change in the future, but not that quickly.

The additional renewable capacity added year on year is not enough to cover the additional electrical load, which originates mainly from 2 things: transport/infrastructure (including EVs, data centres, AI) & environmental loads (more heatwaves in populated cities, where people then need to cool).

As far as I understood, 2024 was a substantial year for the environmental side of the equation, otherwise additional renewables installations would have been able to cover just about all the additional power load.

5 years ago I believe Taiwan had a near monopoly on bike frames. Country of origin laws are quite strict in the EU, so that may have changed.

$0.50 says that the “reveal” was part of the study protocol. I.e. “how people react to being knowingly vs. unknowingly manipulated”.

Exactly the opposite for me!

I use this primarily, it’s more than enough for basic tracking and UI is good. A little unpolished at times, but I am yet to find anything on F-Droid which is better.

Got any books in this direction?

Es war ein Witz…

The ethics board does not approve the message.

Ah what the shit made someone actually commit to producing this monstrosity?!

I’m specifically looking into this at the moment as I have been gifted a pi 5.

Most websites say avoid trying to host jellyfin on a pi 5 (codec and hardware issues are frequently noted). Do you have experience that shows these are non-issues?

Thanks!

You got a source on that?

That’s somehow even worse than my original mental image. Great work science!

This usually works for me too

I have a Clara 2E. It was some time ago, so I cannot remember all the fine details, but I couldn’t get mine to start without some internet connection. I gave a throwaway email and allowed it to update before I switched off WiFi and could freely move books with Calibre.

To it’s credit, in 3 years since purchase it has not asked for internet since switching it on the first time.

Insurance should cover everyone for everything and should remain affordable for all.

Bluetooth and the 2.4 GHz ISM band is not electricity and is highly resilient to moderate noise over short distances. Problems are usually caused by hardware related issues.

As clarification I meant: “do people in Australia care about the tiny black and white sticker on the box which says “M - rated for mature audiences” now?”

and not: “why should the global community give a damn about Australia…”.

I remember cinemas were always strict with entry into movies, but game shops never used to ask for ID. Has this changed?
