OLED maybe but small micros are now so cheap and so small that they’re negligible.

Battery is probably still the biggest environmental impact.

I would say that excludes him lying when writing or typing, but I’m not sure he’s capable of doing so without speaking aloud so it’s moot.

‘Dumping’ is considered anti-competitive behaviour in a lot of places. This sounds a lot like that.

There are a number of 6-8GWe nuclear plants that dump 15+GW into the nearby sea (or in the case of Bruce, into Lake Huron). I don’t see it being much of an issue. Better than virtually any other cooling option.

The issues are maintenance, energy source, and equipment supply.

OpenAI is joined at the hip with MS, right?

What’s the bet this is MS’s attempt at getting back into the corporate mobile space again? Brand it as CoPilot Phone…

RAM’s main advantage over HDDs/SSDs is fast access times.

Needing to fetch anything over the internet would make it faster to just use HDDs.

I’m guessing they would ask you first (and the office would be slathered in Trump-Passport posters).

I am somewhat surprised it’s not just a ‘which one would you like’. I wouldn’t have thought the logistical concerns would be that major?

As noted elsewhere, there’s only 25-30k total being produced and only for people who apply in person in DC. You’re not going to get one of these unexpectedly.

I am slightly confused by the graph, which does not appear to list English or any of the Chinese languages?

It’s reasonable to argue that ‘lingua franca’ means the language used for trade, travel, diplomacy etc. - and that does not necessarily have to mean the language spoken by the plurality of the world’s population.

PCs have almost never supported CEC. PCs use a different signalling method to indicate to the monitor that they’re on/off.

Is this the one FriendlyJordies was talking about?

That is sort of what sponsored segments are, and what sponsorblock is quite effective at dealing with.

If they’re injected on the fly at variable time points, it gets harder, but I suspect fingerprinting could work well enough.

TVs often do a bad job at switching on when the computer turns on, then off when it turns off/goes to sleep. Drives me spare. That was fixed in like 1995-2000 for normal monitors.

If we expect to be remotely large, sorting by new only is infeasible.

I’m pretty sure most login managers have a drop-down hidden somewhere where you can select what desktop manager it launches once you log in.

Coefficient of performance (i.e. energy efficiency) at decent delta-T is always the most important factor and rarely mentioned.

Modern cooling equipment generally has the largest environmental impact from energy consumption, not manufacturing or refrigerant leakage.

Especially with ultra-low-GWP propane or butane refrigerant, though that’s not usually used in large-scale systems.

A good number of bombers got taken out, so two parts is not entirely out of the question.

It’s a ‘why not both’ thing.

My experience is that digital signage displays are still HDMI-only.
