In addition to the other comments about it being just as quick, if not faster and easier to get a consistent heat, I also found the noise level was way better - it'll hum if the pan isn't centered properly, and the power is turned up, but when simmering, it's pretty much silent which was weird but suprisingly nice.

Sept 2019 is 4 years ago

The latest season of Futurama actually illustrated this, that due to time being relative you can just slow down the simulation to reduce the requirement to run at a 1:1 performance ratio with our current environment.
It also describes that someone from flatland wouldn't be able to tell that they're missing out on a dimension, or quality, because it's their only frame of reference.

Definitely not scientific in approach, but it is thought provoking around the possibility of a simulated existence.

I've only had 1 phone in the last 10 years that didnt wirelessly charge, and there's zero chance I'd buy a phone without it again. And I'm really hoping qi2 starts appearing in phones next year.

I don't understand the need for super fast charging, like it's handy if you're on the run and forgot about it, but I need more charging than my phone does, so it's no issue to just plonk it on a stand when I'm resting....

Looking at Tesla's support the US is crippled by the 120v power grid for wall charging, 3 Miles per hour on a standard 120v plug, and 23kmh on an Australian 240v 15A plug.

And not to mention it was water ingress into the bloody batteries, they're lucky (or maybe unlucky in this case) that the car didn't burn down from the Lithium...

HMD Global is a Finnish company, run by ex-Nokia executives. It's pretty nuch the old Nokia, seperated enough to not bankrupt the original company if it goes bad.

The phones are no more Chinese than Google and Apple.

Likewise, pay for full Nitro, I can afford it and it's a platform I use frequently and enjoy, I'm glad they let others who can't pay for Nitro have a pretty much equivalent service for free.

It's not free to run a platform, and it's unreasonable to demand everything for free. It could be more reasonably priced (basic is not too bad), but honestly I'm okay with subsidising others for something like this.

Same here, for my ISP it's no extra charge, they just ask you why you're opting out

This group also targeted a Formula Electric Grand Prix, which seems counter productive...

I don't believe anything is actually copied until you request it to be pasted. The clipboards in Linux mark where the data is, and don't actually initiate a copy until there's a destination.

The research is from Qatar, I imagine it's a lot harder to grow enough carrots in sandy deserts and bedrock

I'm accessing via kbin through Firefox, with a shortcut 'installed' through the Firefox feature on Android. Started on Kbin, the UI wasn't terrible and didn't change

I'm going to get an S24 when they release, have pretty much always used Samsung when on Android.

FWIW, I understand all the complaints about bloat from duplicated applications, but a significant amount of that blame should be on Google as well. I don't use the GMail app, but I can't uninstall it, so it's system bloat.

I'm one of those people that uses DLSS, because I've got a large fancy 4k monitor that is big enough that is looks like shit at lower resolutions.

DLSS is better than nothing but it's no replacement for native rendering, it introduces a heap of visual anomalies and inconsistencies, especially in games with a consistent motion (racing games look like shit with DLSS), so I tend to be having lows of 50fps on medium before I'll even think about DLSS.
I'm also pretty sure Nvidia is paying devs to have it on by default, because everytime it's patched into a game they clear all the current graphics settings to turn on DLSS, at least in my experience.

Unfortunately you can't easily patch the fleshy thing operating the system

Similar experience with my Galaxy Watch 4 classic, had it since launch, don't treat it carefully and I haven't managed to damage it, and it's been pretty much faultess for me.

The anime Takt op. Destiny is pretty aligned to this concept as well
