I always much prefer to play at the marine resolution of what I'm playing. Not only do i want to have the same experience as of i was using the console but upscaling can often cause some oddities. Especially with 3d games whereas polygons are sharp and any 2d elements are still pixelated. I think that mismatch looks way uglier than the whole screen being pixelated.
I really enjoyed this video. It went into a few things I was fuzzy about despite having to ELI5 power factor to corpo suits on a semi-regular basis for about a decade.
My dad will help literally anyone who asks him directly or is even just the friend of a person he knows. He’ll just hand them things he owns or set aside time or just give them free whatever. When he was a manager of a team for a time he was super progressive about it telling his team to take care of themselves while still overworking himself so it’s not like he’s a default “fuck corporate” guy or anything.
Ask him to pay taxes, though, and he suddenly goes full conservative. Tell him it’s hard for servers and he’ll say they should get a better job. Mention arts degrees and he’ll say that’s why education shouldn’t be free. It’s the weirdest fuckin’ thing.
This makes sense for mid-latitudes, but the timing of peak power will depend on how much energy the current youth in India and children in central Africa will aspire to use as they get older. That's hard to 'predict' - it's their choice of development pathway, but hope they don't follow China's route with so much cement, steel, roads, there are other options.
The global south will need a lot of air conditioning to simply survive. However, a lot of that energy should be carbon neutral if renewable trends continue.
You know, I was thinking the Thinkpad was going to go to crap after Lenovo bought it, but overall I didn't have anything negative to say. I wore mine out, keeping it way beyond it's end of life and it kept chugging. It was difficult to part, in fact, but so goes change.
We switched from Dell to Lenovo at work and the amount of times I’ve had to totally reformat a computer for something just randomly not working right and not being able to find another fix for it has gone to almost zero. Before, with 20 computers, every couple months we had to reformat at least one laptop.
Not a single person has complained about missing Dell in two years.
One thing to keep in mind which he didn't mention is that these PCMs change volume slightly, thus sealing them in fixed containers is a bit problematic.
But yes, these are very interesting and I have also been thinking of a nice thermal storage project with them. Putting a pack of higher temperature PCMs behind a basic wood stove for example might simulate the effect of a much more advanced thermal storage clay stove pretty well.
