“Power Plant” won’t be a fitting term until we can generate electricity (at a viable scale) from chloroplasts.

Electromagnetic induction.
Basically electric motor in reverse…instead of electricity powering the motor, the motor powers electricity.

If your great grandfather is 84, and you’re old enough to be posting on reddit…it seems you have a family history of youthful virility.
You’re going to end up with a new first cousin twice-removed, if great-gramps doesn’t remove first.

As someone from the class of 2003, the numbers are definitely going down. Can’t tell you anything else about this graph though.

Thinkpads are objectively good laptops tho. At least T series.
Especially for linux.

Yes. Water is most definitely not rated for sub-freezing temps.
Though the stronger stuff helps clear ice off your windshield faster…especially on those mornings when you’ve got that smooth sheet of ice that doesn’t want to be scraped.

American defaultism. Also the only group I’ve watched age in real-time.

I’ve got chickens. Some of them make the same sounds a lot of Americans make if you offer them a salad.

Can’t tell if that’s Robotnik or Farva.
- Comment on TIL smoking is good for your body 1 day ago:
To be fair, Asians are both gifted genetically with regards to skin and aging (thicker dermis, more collagen. Culturally, a lot of Asian groups are serious about skincare, and a lot of Asian cuisine is rich in Vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and low in saturated fat.
This is very unfair with comparison to Americans who bawk at the idea of sunblock and vegetables, and treat saturated fats as a dietary staple.
- Comment on Waiting for Capitalism to collapse, so we can get this over with so we can reverse climate change and have nice memes, technology and the good end 1 day ago:
Well that makes the problem even more blatantly obvious…the problem is social hierarchy. It’s impossible to have equality and hierarchy simultaneously…they are mutually exclusive.
They (the ruling classes) are vastly outnumbered, yet they manage to gain control over the masses below them, such that we must support them or the whole thing crumbles.
They’ve got the supporting class believing that we need them…but really that couldn’t be further from the truth.
The problem is, though, as soon as one ruler is gone, another replaces them, and that one is equally corrupt. And the cycle repeats.
But conversely, I don’t see how a non-hierarchal society could function, because that implies there must be some sort of order, mediation, and enforcement, which automatically means that some people will have authority over others, no matter how you slice it.

We really need the death of money more than we need the death of capitalism. Because you’re right, even before rampant capitalism, we still weren’t really great to each other.
What’s amazing to me is I’m perfectly content to live and let live. My neighbors, friends, family, all of us…ain’t got no beef with anybody. Why does this fail so badly when scaled up?

Oooh using gasoline to fight climate change. Literally fighting fire with fire. I like it.
- Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 1 day ago:
I had to rent a car from Enterprise during a mild snowstorm.
I picked it up the night before and brought it home (work paid for the rental, I didn’t want to put miles on my car).
They had filled up the wiper fluid with water, so my wipers wouldn’t work. Frozen solid.
Swung by the rental agency on the way to my trip to complain and swap out the car.
Next car was fine for like 30 minutes but then it stopped working again. Frozen solid.

I have more questions now than when I started.

Lol that’s only because your windows admins are constantly playing defense against MS always introducing new “features” in “minor” patches.

This is USB over IP, not IP over USB.
The product you linked is for USB devices to be able I be used over a network. One common use-case is getting hardware license tokens (on a USB dongle) accessible to a virtual machine…especially when that VM can move dynamically between hosting servers for load-balancing or fail-over.
The closest I’ve seen is a cart intended for tablets or Chromebooks that gives 60W PD + Ethernet over one USB-C port. So something similar exists. I think with this though, you had to bring your own Ethernet switch.
I would love to see something like that, but with active cooling and 180-240W PD.

The subscription service/pay-to-play being everywhere has to stop eventually, right?
Like, eventually enough consumers will realize that they are bent over the barrel by their services.
I was darkly joking that Microsoft is like an abuser in another post yesterday, but the more I thought about it, the more the metaphor stuck. They take and take, make decisions on your behalf, cut you off from outsiders and make it increasingly difficult to escape the longer you let them get away with it. And that’s not Microsoft’s fault…that’s capitalism, baby!
- Comment on A blog re-used one of my Reddit posts as a genuine comment on their blog 5 days ago:
Op, I may be misunderstanding. Are you saying the blog owner used your quote in the article, or are you saying a bottled comment used your name and content?
The former is fair use, the latter is outrageous.
There is of course a third possibility, and that is that you should check your Carbon Monoxide detectors.

From a networking perspective I’m impressed.
Yeah, high density APs that can handle a lot of clients exist, in theory…but in practice you can’t expect many devices to be simultaneously in-use. Having this many clients per square foot? SNR for those phones must be terrible. Amazing it works.

Don’t forget PBS.
Sesame Street is literally one of the most effective pieces of western propaganda. Reaching, primarily, kids and moms, in oppressive, patriarchal societies.
Better pull the plug from that, right Donnie?
