Because our system is broken af designed and manipulated by powerful rich rascists who don’t want to give up control.

Can do both because their stupid AI will probably suck more energy then those panels will produce.

I love my steam deck, but I’m also glad to see more competition in the handheld gaming pc market.

actually I found the joke to be funnier because it was litterally technically correct.

The meme is litterally correct. when you make an audio file into an mp3, it takes some of the sonic information that our brains are bad at noticing and just…completely removes it(to save storage space). if its a high quallity mp3 its essentially completely unnoticable. That’s why it’s psycoacoustic, it uses psycology to fool your brain into thinking it sounds better than it does, litterally.

Psycoacoustic is basically just a big word for taking into account how our brains deal with what we hear.

Also I’m not saying mp3 is bad, in fact I think the opposite is true. I think its good to think of it like being the .JPG of audio, you’re not getting the original quallity and thats the point and unless you need to do manipulate that audio file and its a reasonable quallity then you likely won’t notice the difference.

Ogg vorbis (.ogg) is a better codec though IMO.

According to the cube rule of food identification this is correct.

Yea, let’s just slap the missile equivalent of chatgpt on a bunch of drone missiles, what could go wrong? /s

Serriously though, what happens if the AI driving the drone hallucinates? I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near these things when they’re testing them.

Honestly, if I’m costing the company that made my TV money just because I refuse to let it track me, all the better. They deserve it for trying to crab that shit up my ass in the first place!

I’m mostly just responding to your points, but if I’m trying to make any argument its that mile per mile train infrastructure is cheaper than road infrastructure when you add up all of the costs, especially the ones people normally dont consider including vehicle maintinance, extra land and infrastructure for parking, more policing, gas, time wasted on longer commutes, ect. I’m also trying to point out that the reason we can’t have nice things is because we have chosen the wrong priorities as a society, thats why we are stuck in a loop where we try to solve our car problems with more cars and car infrastructure instead of addressing the root cause of the problem.

“* all of the factors you just listed also apply to railways”

• massive Walmart style parking lots don’t factor if your urban planning is centered around public transit, and parking is definately one of the highest hidden costs of road infrastructure.

“* since railways are more expensive to construct and maintain than roadways, there are more cases in which a railway couldn’t pay for itself versus a roadway”

• yes, when people stubbornly refuse to use rail infrastructure or when rail/transit infrastructure is prioritized less than roads/car based transportation then of course its going to be less economically viable. Economies of scale and induced demand are a huge factor here.

“* why would a company build a private road when the government will do it for them?”

• good question, and yet we still have private roads and tollroads.

That would be an improvement actually, because the customers of these companies are not users, they are other companies looking to advertise or buy users personal data. The users of for profit social media are in fact the product, not the customers.
