I ran from Reddit, it be like that
In all the famous cases, Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island, and Sellafield, it was close enough to a real disaster. Sure, only some people died, some more got radiation poisoning, cancer, even more lost their pets, their homes, their livelihoods, quite some animals died… thank god that’s “low on the harmless scale”.
Now you’re just insulting actual apes
Man, what a disappointing article, I remember El Reg for being real sharp journalism, not a partner page piece of crap.
Take this revolting example:
Many of these PCs were bought during COVID and now we are four [or] five years after they were bought and they will have to be replaced.
Have to be replaced? Just for being 4 years old? Aside from the environmental impact, and aside from W11 being more shit than diarrhoea from a ceiling fan: these PCs work perfectly fine. For both my enterprise and entertainment purposes. New mainboards wouldn’t add much, and neither would W11, which biggest novelties are a broken control panel, a misplaced start menu and - for additional money - an unneeded and immature “AI” that will basically target me ads.
Were you on a free plan? Because csv export normally works fine.
I am not sure if Martin would appreciate his name this clear on the lemmyverse.
VBox could be nice, but Oracle is on a licensing hunt for people who install the extension pack on potentially work-related systems. Technically it is free for personal use, but is like explicitly inviting the vampire into your home - nothing might happen, but you wouldn’t know until the moment you have 2 tiny holes in your neck.
Not sure if this is AI or some dumb and aggressive script.
This is not wrong
There are currently [2] insecure techbros downvoting reality.
My good sir, do not forget right wingers have a tendency to “judge” people by the amount of melanin. While I myself don’t care (skin colour is a bad indicator of niceness), Canadian right wingers are pretty probably not the type you’d want to associate with, and it’s likely the other way around too.
it is a very private programming language

Yes, but that’s just the tip
“While nuclear fusion seems like the perfect solution for AI’s power needs due to its non-existent impact on the environment…”
nonexistent is key here.
Easy, switch it off!
They didn’t build it. They buy from local suppliers, power that could have been used by people and companies already there. Now it’s just a lot more, while a serious part of the power consumption goes into debatable purposes like overhyped AI stuff.
Edit: and fwiw, recently Microsoft themselves announced that they are far from their reduction targets roadmap, so not sure where you got the happy flow news from
“that’s what she said”
Oh man, the memories… it wasn’t so long after “Best of Both Worlds” aired for the first time, that the Bill Gates of Borg meme was going viral on BBSs and Usenet. Oh how we laughed… and cried, for it was funny but true.
Exactly. There’s a reason no insurance company wants to take on nuclear power plants and countries have to.
