Design problem, you can modularize these things so they’re easy to repair, consider your average desktop PC. Indeed that’s what your ‘proprietary replacement parts’ are, backed up by DMCA (and world wide equivalents forced by US trade agreements) making reverse engineering them a felony. Problem is there’s no financial incentive compared to getting you to buy another one soon, nor is there competition on this front. Hmm, perhaps a (legal) regulation problem.
Not least because CRT screens were nigh on bulletproof (and heavy as fuck, containing vacuum reliably needs mass).
Woot, competition!
how cheating (particularly single player) can be fun
Have you never played a game with unreasonable grind that saps all the fun out of it ? Often just to drive player hours and ‘engagement’. Multiplayer cheats however can die in a fire.
The tanks might go underground mitigating (perhaps) the pressure explosion risk as opposed to lithium fire risk, but the honking great tent is an issue. Should have a longer life than Li Ion and be repairable vs somewhat recyclable. At scaled production it could certainly be cheaper, but some of the newer immobile battery chemistries might beat it. Synthesized fuel also makes a lot of sense. We shall see. What certainly makes sense is microgrids and power self-sufficiency.
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was ‘Oh no, not again.’
Wonder how small you can scale these and retain efficiency, at twice the footprint (but I’m guessing a lot more volume) of a lithium grid battery, will we see these replacing home batteries down the line?
160km/hr as per TFA.
The ones with metal pigment are still waiting to fail, the ones that died used a cheap organic dye, coz profit. This is Silica (i.e. quartz, a long lived rock) with variances in polarization and intensity,( hence 5D when combined with a 3D Crystal))
OK generic marketing crap and will you have their special reader in a century, but it’s a solid way to project knowledge into the far future (gotta wonder if we need to re-examine some quartz crystals with this in mind ;}
If you open the versions drop down in F-Droid it has a ‘suggested’ tag next to the 2.0.12.1 version, so they’re aware of the issue, I’m not sure if that means if you just click install that’s what you get as I pinned it there when this all started and don’t want to uninstall reinstall just for this post, but I’m guessing it’ll just install the non suss version.
They’re not law as long as you can afford the lawyers and legal costs to fight them. Which is, of course, the problem and the system working as designed.
Get the SSDs pronto…
Hmpff, when I added the image it overwrote the original URL, not exactly intuitive, probably makes sense for memes.
Sorry, thought I had, apparently I don’t understand the post creation mechanism as well as I thought. Thanks for the catch, I’ll edit the text.
Eh, I hadn’t bothered to read the comm rules and doing a filesystem check is a suitable pain in the ass. BTW the last word was originally shitfuckery.
Yeah, got this one yesterday, moved to my alt on piefed for a bit…
like water and rabies
Stealing that, it’s gold, so you know ;}
Goodhart’s law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”
TLDR as soon as you have a system like this people will game it…
Remember the last time they went down (without being superseded), me neither, but hope springs eternal…
