The problem with this is entropy. Heat dissipated to the environment is highly entropic (more disorganized, less useful heat/energy), and to effectively extract it, you’d need to reduce the entropy, which requires more energy that you would get from the heat you recovered.

Wow its good this article isn’t talking about speech like that

I’d love to try TL. I’m in another private tracker, but it isn’t great if I’m being honest.

Magnesium chloride also works well as a dust suppressant. I used to manufacture the stuff

And also twin screw polymer extruders

Episcopalians, despite often being called the Republican party at prayer, often lean pretty left actually.

Beloved, his character arc has been interesting to watch

I use GigaRapid, andnive got no complaints so far. Good speeds, wish I had more storage space, but a lot of their options were sold out when I signed up

Those 100 corporations make materials that everyone else uses (mostly O&G) and the consumption and use of those materials (by we the consumers) is responsible for 71% of GHG emissions.It’s not just 100 companies burning coal for funsies

Be careful, you’re wandering awfully close to eco-facist talking points

Being able to run video games or other hardware intensive process would either require pricey hardware or they’d be streamed from a cloud service (which comes with a whole other bundle of issues to consider) as that computational power has to come from something physical somewhere. Offloading your OS to the cloud wouldn’t affect that. PCs can already be accessed by phone if you have the right set up (dedicated IP hosting and a VPN) As for saving data in case of emergencies, we already have cloud based storage solutions that wouldn’t be impacted by cloud based OS.

There is 0 reason to use a cloud based OS other than making sure people are tied to your service for the life of their computer. This feels like a solution to a problem no one has.

So if I don’t have an internet connection, I can’t even boot my computer?

Big “you’ll own nothing and be happy” energy.

Agree to disagree I guess. I think protecting ideas is an important safeguard that encourages people to take the risk of investing in research.

You can’t patent things that aren’t a process or a product, so no you can’t patent genes.

Patents take quite a bit of effort to write up if you really want to protect your intellectual property, and their scope is pretty narrow. The patent holder can also license with interested parties if they want.

Patents are incredibly important for R&D as without them, there is no protection of IP
