AFAIK in the USA, nuclear energy is the safest per unit energy generated. Solar is more "dangerous" simply because you can fall off a roof.
Nuclear energy has huge risks and potential for safety issues, yes. But sticking to the numbers, it is extremely safe.
Microwaves aren't resonant or anything fancy
they're just dielectric heating.
Completely agree.
The Wikipedia article itself has this to say:
Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors who are unable to support the new extensions.
By that logic Lemmy/Mastodon/fediverse are already extinguished. Those of us in the fediverse are already "marginalized" wrt Twitter/Threads/Facebook/whatever.
There are very good reasons to hate Meta, but personally, I think EEE isn't the biggest issue.
Maybe. Or this will play out like Slack and IRC.
Initially, Slack integrated with IRC. Which was great! It meant I could use xchat to talk with folks, and could set up simple bots using standard IRC tools.
And then Slack killed that feature...but it absolutely didn't kill IRC, because die hard IRC users never cared about Slack in the first place.
My prediction is it'll be the same
what sort of people will be attracted to Threads vs a smaller "proper" instance? Probably the sort of people who would never consider a federated platform in the first place.
Just speculation and I could certainly be wrong...
IIRC mine (as an employee, not HR) verified some stuff on my CV (education details I think).
Other comment says there is a way from inside, just not outside (which doesn't help with a young kid/toddler/baby is the inside passenger of course).
Either way, glad this is "only" a huge embarrassment, and not a dead kid.
AFAIK in the USA you can't have the main batteries be replaceable (I think an aux battery for wireless functions is allowed...).
EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.
What country? AFAIK in the US you can't make the batteries replaceable. If they are wirelessly linked they can have auxiliary batteries for that, but (I believe) that's different than the main battery...
EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.
We really need to see info from the BIOS
exact CPU model, RAM speed, etc.
As others have pointed out, this is a pretty anachronistic build
i586 with DDR1 is just weird, so it's possible there's some really niche hardware and you may need an exotic kernel (or kernel options) to get anything to boot.
That said: have you just tried running a standard live or install CD from that time period? You could try booting a 2001 Slackware installer to see what happens.
Can you post the CPU info? I think it should be available from the BIOS.
Basically sounds like the Tesla game plan, which was super effective: roadster (which is purely a toy for the rich) and a little later the Model S (practical EV), and then introduce an affordable model.
This implies that eventually people will strap rusty boxes to their head though, so grain of salt with the analogy...
...
I see what you did there.
