Also, with breaking recovering energy, this negates some of the issues too. The inertia is used to recharge the batteries, so the losses are from friction and heat losses. Obviously lighter is better, but a lot of the issues of weight on efficiency can be reduced. Weight is bad for safety though, so there is that to consider.

Never heard the “above 80%” thing. I’m pretty sure you’re wrong about this. With lead-acid batteries, this was optimal. I’m pretty confident that lithium ion batteries it’s best to keep the charge as high as possible. Ideally you’d only ever use it fully charged. It’s health is harmed by draining it low/fully.

I don’t own an EV, but I know enough about it that I’m pretty sure this is the case. You should look it up for your vehicle though. This advice also applies to phones and other lithium ion batteries too. Lead-acid was damaged by keeping the charge high, but lithium ion is damaged when low, and almost all devices are lithium ion now.

To be fair, Elden Ring is pretty damn easy. Sure, it requires you to pay attention some, but all of the main bosses don’t put up that much of a fight, and traversing the world is trivial compared to earlier games.

He’s also pathetically insecure, and history has traditionally looked back fondly at wartime leaders like Churchill and the like. He’s hoping for that

A key thing to note is that it’s normally defensive leaders that are looked back on fondly. Attacking another nation usually doesn’t give this boost, or at least not as significantly. Frequently it’s negative in fact.

He’s too stupid to understand this though, if this is his reason. I don’t think it is though. At best, it’s a distraction. At worst, and more likely, it’s an excuse to implement policies that expand his powers, and maybe to prevent elections from taking place.

I don’t really care what instance they’re from, but I do care who they are. It’s like if we just went by our first names here, there would be so much confusion with common first names. You’d need to at least use their last name to know if they’re the same person or not. With federation, you can have the same name as someone else on a different instance. I don’t really care where they’re from usually, but it is important for identification.

In my opinion, this is less declutter and more obfuscation. There’s potentially important information that isn’t being shown. Often it isn’t an issue, but sometimes it is.

Also, your client probably has an option to display NSFW posts. I don’t see any reason for an instance admin to do so.

That sounds odd if that is an option. My doesn’t show instances if it’s the same as mine. However, since this is all federated, you can have the same username as someone else from another instance. If it doesn’t show instances then that could be confusing at best, if not used maliciously.

If Microsoft doesn’t produce Xbox’s anymore, where are they going to go?

Hopefully Valve gives them a home with the Steam Machine. We’re still waiting to hear the price for that though…

(It is just a computer running Linux, but it’s sold as a console.)

Returnal came to PC. Honestly, I think it looks cool but I didn’t care for it. Everything it did, except for graphics, has been done better by indies. It felt pretty bland in my opinion, but probably pretty unique if you only play AAA.

I don’t know what you’re referring to, but it sounds like you’re saying PC games are all online and PS has the only story games. Is that right?

If that is what you’re saying, you couldn’t be more wrong. All the CRPGs are on PC, for example. We have more exclusives than any other platform (not saying exclusives are good, just that PC is easier to make and distribute for). The best offline games are arguably (without much debate) on PC.

But quantity has a quality of its own.

Very related, you should check out Cairn.

The only way you should trust them, or anyone else, is if they don’t collect your personal data at all. There is absolutely no way I’d trust any website or service with information like what they want. All of these laws are explicitly designed to create a digital profile of every person so they can track what you do. It can’t be done ethically because it isn’t supposed to be done ethically.

Back when I was in Boy Scouts, we learned how to do abdominal thrusts, and how to do it to yourself. You make the same hand shape (IIRC, one hand clasped over the other with your thumb knuckles forming a triangle into the abdomin), and place your hand in the back of a chair (assuming you’re near a chair, which is likely). You then press yourself into it.

Even an identical prompt to an identical model can return both good and bad results, just depending on RNG.

Well, one example would be a web browser. I’m sure you can at least agree with the utility there. I would say it could also be a useful tool for a prototype, but the problem is, once you have a working prototype, that tends to become the final product.

It’s an HTML, CSS, JS renderer. The fact so many use Electron for bloated app GUIs doesn’t mean that’s what it is. Every browser is functionally the same thing as Electron (with even more stuff), but the use case requires it.

This surely will be used to make bloated GUIs, but that’s good if it replaces Electron and is faster. There is a use for Electron. It’s just over-used.

No matter where you buy it, expiration dates are only a general guide, and more of a “date of manufacture” note than anything. We evolved to detect potential food that has gone bad. Trust your senses. Look and smell should be enough to know what’s actually gone bad (which is usually past the “expiration” date). You can use something like this as a better guide for when food will actually go bad, but, again, trust your senses.

It won’t sadly. I can run many on my computer. They’ll still be available, even if every server-based one goes down.

Laws are much older than 2000 years. To be more specific, at least about double that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Ur-Nammu
