  • Because small scale breakdowns are irrelevant with today’s power grids. Redundancy is provided via the next city/country nearby. Importing the power might be a few cents more expensive during peak hours, but that’s nothing compared to the costs of having an outdated power plant doing nothing for years.

    However, the real answer why he’s being down voted is because it’s a pretend intellectual argument favoured by people against renewable power generation, without actually contributing anything of worth.




  • We can debate whether that theft was ethically permissible under those circumstances. But they still committed theft. The act itself does not magically stop being theft because we understand or sympathize with the reason behind it.

    What? By that definition nothing is theft unless ruled such by a court. Which funnily also means that if someone takes anything but doesn’t get caught, they haven’t committed theft?
    Ergo any corporation powerful enough cannot commit any crimes, due to not being sentenced.

    That’s bullshit and you know it.
    This isn’t about if the guys stealing the copper committed a crime or not. Obviously they removed property without consent, which is theft.
    However, is there such thing as “good” crime? Yes. Same as the mother stealing formula for her baby, or the homeless person stealing bread, or these guys stealing copper from AI data centres.













  • Not even for gaming, but just general office work/watching videos/whatever else you can do inside a browser.

    I still want a laptop thingie with a battery under the keyboard, some ports, and where the phone acts like the trackpad when docked. I know that it would be phone specific due to the size, but seriously that would be amazing. The “laptop” can be pretty cheap being just a keyboard, battery, and monitor as well.

    Imagine a spot where someone wakes up, has their phone in a dock to stimulate an alarm clock, grabs it, and drives to work (with android auto, obviously). Next scene they arrive in the office, plug their phone into a dock with keyboard/mouse + monitor attached and start working seamlessly. Later they sit down in a café with just a tiny keyboard writing some emails on their phone, go back home and Screencast videos to their TV.
