Yes lets do it by continuing to outsource the pollution to China and deindustrialize Europe.

Cut the nuclear, add the imported solarpanels and experience the joy of 10x electricity prices.

Blame the consumer for not turning the kettle off during peak hours and make sure you give tax breaks to Google and BiGData to open a couple more datacenters that use more power than a average city.

Oh, ban combustion engines, fuck up every batteryfactory by thinking its enough to buy the Make-Your-Own-Battery-Kit on Aliexpress.

Wow such strategy.

Hey the clunkiness, the slow thinking, the hardware buzz (fans) and the feeling that your computer is a living being (an evil one) is well alive in my worklaptop.

Fucking piece of shit.

Golf courses are a nice spot for frogs apparently! According to a frog-interested person i met.

We have a golf course that is located very close to the city centre (when it was built it was on the outskirts etc.). And it is from time to time the subject of debate i.e. we should build houses there instead..

At the same time we have footballfields, a huge graveyard, parks etc. that doesn't get the same "scrutiny".

The golf course is used for crosscountry skiiing in the winter, provides a buffer towards a major road etc. And of course there are a couple of thousand members that use it for golf and the green-fee visitors etc.

I dont play golf but i often get a sense of "only the rich uses it" which... Well rings a bit hollow!

But i mean, i dont think he thought of this as an "art-object" more like a ... house-control-kiosk-whatever. And people spend tons of money on those things. Eink-screens for thousands. Control4 for whatever amount. Homey-hub for..300usd? Hue-lights for hundreds etc.

So, sure 900usd or a part of that system is a lot of money and I wouldn't do it. But I've spent 900usd on techthings with a very diminishing amount of return :)

Okay, good for you.

I think that varies in availability depending on country.

Sweden is pretty hard on mortgages/loans to people who are retired, know problem for some actually.

Newer TiZEN models has a jellyfin app now in the appstore!

I like my TRMLN it has been very solid.

Bauhaus has huge saws that they use to cut particle boards. They are not routers so i don't think they would do the cutout for a sink however.

Lol.

Do you think todays aircraft are not designed with the idea that the engine can fail?

And if you have unreliable components do you think redundancy is going to save you?

And lets be real - there already exist a aerospace arena where you have a higher number of CAT-events - it's called the military. And they deal with it by having a parachute for each passenger..

No - in effect building jet-engines (that are commercially viable i.e. fuel and efficeny) is not a easy to disrupt business. And the cost of entering it would be - high. And the benefit, well less obvious.

Back from my old overclocking days - its heat that kills life. And if you keep that under control (what ages is the heatpaste, replace it ever so often) i very much doubt you'll have any life issues from the cpu itself.

Bearings in fans, caps etc. are also stuff that you need to keep an eye on.

I just replaced a i5-660 thats been powered on since 2010 24/7, heatpaste was fucked so it crashed during heavy loads :)

Ah okay 150w is not _that_ bad - more than a rpi for sure but still :)

And another cpu+chipset is always going to eat som Watts just by existing.

I've recently upgraded my ageing X8SIL Supermicro with an i5 to a X10 Sm board with a 2960 V4 14core Xeon... I was expecting a horrible power situation but it's less than 100w with a handful of spinning disks etc.

I see lots of people complaining on power with their re-used ProLiant and others etc. Is it the throttling or bios settings that messes with the idle power?

Or are you just running it at 100% and my low usage is what saves my electricity bill?

You are aware of our different price-markets in sweden right? SE4 is priced at the export prices for Danish wind and German goal - which sucks for Swedes in SE4 (and to some extent SE3). SE4 can eat their own dogfood since they cut the Nuclear Power and are now burning oil instead (Karlshamnsverket).

At scale.

As a Swede i'd like to cut the cord to Denmark/Germany. That would greatly reduce our electricity costs in south/mid Sweden.

Let them enjoy their "cheap" wind and battery solution.

It has worked great in Sweden until a decade or so ago! Depends on the population and general sense of community.

Poorly dried wood?

We just installed a second woodburningstove in our house, https://www.contura.eu/en-gb .. and i mean you can mess up your fire by burning wet wood etc. or... paper i dunno.

But dried wood burns really clean, absolutely no smell INSIDE the house (wtf?!) and outside you see a thin whisp of smoke from the chimney.

Why wouldnt a heatpump work during the winter? I.e. the entire nordic uses heatpumps..

XFCE is x11 only which might alleviate some Wayland bugs with nvidia.

Yeah i feel like the other answers tries to gaslight me and downvoting to hide the ugly truth! :)

Would you say modern (i.e. <10 years) are properly insulated and built or are there still... shortcuts?

It is weird, especially since Germany usually is quite a bit cheaper when it comes to tools, construction materiel etc. compared to Sweden.

Yes! I was told "its easier to replace when it freezes" :) Obviously older houses.

Hrm. It might be cheaper than in Germany but its not cheap in Sweden except for the most nordic parts (hydro).

South Sweden - i think the prices are more on par with germany.

UK houses are really interesting.. Single-glass windows, poor insulation etc. And plumbing on the OUTSIDE(!) :)

Are the boilers typically connected to water-radiators?.. I assume so based on the word "boiler".

There are heatpumps that are used to heat water so it would be a slot in replacement..

Sure i can join you on the barricade, but i still want to function in a society :(

I loved my N9. But i'm somewhat hesitant on preordering that one. I need wireless charging.. And i still dont really get if Android-apps actually work or not, i.e. swedish Bank-Id/Swish etc.

You should probably figure out why - unless you are ok with nobody liking you. If _everyone_ finds you annoying or difficult being around, you most like are annoying and difficult to deal with.

How you go about figuring what bugs people is perhaps the hard part.
