I know that, and to incentivice people to use the power, they pay you to do it.

I know that, but with long term planning its fine.

Good, so when will they resume work on the abandoned Unreal Tournament game?

So what they are saying is that our current financial system is too focused on short term gains to cope with short term losses?

Sigh, when I grew up, I was allways taught to save money so that I have a buffer to fall back on. This concept seems to have completely gone out the window for busniesses lately.

I dislike the talk about how capitalism is bad as a general concept, but when seeing stuff like this I do agree with it in parts.

Ok, so let’s solve the issue.

There is too much electricity, so generating power to transmit to the network will cost us money.

This has an easy solution, just don’t transmit it to the network.

Build a battery facility where you store the power instead, infact if the price of electricity is negative, use the power on the grid and charge your batteries as well, I mean, when the electricity cost is negative, you are being paid to consume power.

Then when the sun goes down, and the electricity price goes up, you sell the charge you have in the batteries.

Depending on your location you could even set up a pumped storage system, where instead of batteries getting charged, you use the cheap excess energy to pump a resarvoir full of water, and release it when you need the power.

Tackar tackar, jag har inte ens duschat!

There are parts on Finland where Swedish is the primary laguage even over Finnish.

Yeah, see!

An RTG could power my phone!

Sigh, let me spell my point out for you…

What I mean is that I can absolutely believe that a solid state battery could power the next gen smart watch, I doubt it will.

Just as an RTG could power my phone, but I doubt that it will be powered by it.

Fel språk är jag rädd, försök igen! (:

Äh, du kan väl lika gärna lära dig Svenska, det blir enklare för oss båda! (:

Nej, jag kan inte Tyska, men om du vill kan vi prata Svenska! (:

That was probably fairly accurate at that time.

Look at the historical data here:

BTW, the large recent drop in co2 emissions, covid.

I have blocked sooooo many german communities and several german instances.

I browse all to get as much new content as possible.

But I have to block a shitload of stuff I am not interested in seeing.

If that happened to me, and I got rid of it, I’d ask if the infection could be named after me.

I want it to be remembered that I won.

A few years ago I made a combined raspberry/rhubarb pie.

Half the radius was raspberry, half was rhubarb.

The outer raspberry, the inner rhubarb.

It was brilliant.

If the mars rovers can function on a fraction of a watt, then I don’t know why my phone can’t…

This is kinda like saying that a radio thermal generator could power next gen’s phones.

I am sure it could, that doesn’t mean that it will.

I haven’t been to an airport with in years where only one person at a time can unload their stuff into the x-ray machine, usually they have spots for five or six persons.

This is not an issue:

So they are using the information they have in Azure/Entra about where you login from and presenting it to other users through Outlook/Teams?

Seems fine as long as they don’t include your exact address.

That is a great follow up question, is an egg defined by what ever laid it or by it’s contents?

Correct!
