I’m pretty happy with my samsung. No really, hear me out, if power cuts out, when it resumes, the tv auto starts on the same input.

I have it connected to a pc, and use a smart plug for turning on and off. Haven’t seen a trace of the smarts for years :D

I hear he was a pretty good speaker 🫣

geologists could also tell you where the best rocks are.

FTFY

the locks are quite basic though, literally pickable with a hair pin

Why? It IS about my aesthetic preferences :)

I like when everywhere in a place is different and memorable.

If you like samey grids I have no reason not to respect that, but I wholeheartedly disagree.

so fucking much better!

If we put it like that, every other energy source on earth begins that way and adds at least one conversion step.

… except for fusion of course.

Solar cells, technically.

boiling water systems have a thermal efficiency of ~40% Solar cells are closer to 45% efficient

This is just plain false.

There is no theoretical size limit to unobserved quantum systems, although it is practically hard to achieve large ones.

the largest ones we’ve managed are over 100 atoms. https://www.livescience.com/19268-quantum-double-slit-experiment-largest-molecules.html

Yeah its about quantum systems interacting, not sentient beings watching.

still pretty mystical though in my book!

Google controls search results and has been caught meddling. Which negates the first two.

No it doesn’t negate the forst two. It only addresses the second, and bypassing the results completely, exascerbates the problem quite a bit.

Cry me a river.

great argument.

• It helps spread false information widely

• It puts a lot of control of information in a single companies hands

• It hurts the underlying sources

When google provides the info directly, and the first hand sources has become completely obsolete and shut down, what would new information stem from? It’s an inherently unstable and short sighted solution.

this is problematic on multiple levels.

ground water is a completely different beast. This device harvests moisture from the air.

It’s easy to crush the competition when you purposely take a loss as an investment in future market share.

oh, I hadn’t the slightest

matter changes state based on temperature

This is a gross oversimplification and your experiment proves that :)
