Teslas need to crack the windows before you open the door, that's why they complicate the door release. If you don't give the computer a moment to move the window before the door opens you can damage things.

IIRC it's because if the frameless window setup Teslas use - it needs to wind the windows down slightly before you open the door, so it uses an electronic control to tell the car to do that.

I'm cooking up some fine spaghetti over here on Gleba.

Everyone's an Italian chef the first time they go to Gleba.

It's even worse when you take a bunch of the small percentage of energy the heat engine successfully turns into motion and then use it to heat up the brake discs.

Being able to recapture kinetic energy into a battery and reuse it later helps overall efficiency a lot.

Okay, but that's still partially on Nvidia for refusing to participate. They could have argued for explicit sync early in Wayland's development but they weren't at the table at all, so they got stuck with the technology that was decided on without them and had to argue for changes much later.

And they started off arguing for EGLStreams, but it didn't work well either. Explicit sync came later.

Wayland has a bunch of features that are so new they aren't in the stable distros yet.

Nvidia went from declaring they were never going to support Wayland to trying to force their own EGLStreams stuff on everybody to reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them and trying to make it work for their driver. They're playing catchup and it's entirely their own fault for refusing to cooperate with anybody.

They're moving more towards open source drivers now, probably because the people buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to use on Linux servers for AI training have had words with Nvidia on the subject.

Yeah, that's not happening. They're desperate to push revenue per user up, so they keep hiking low speed prices to push people towards 100+ megabit plans.

The foundry reminds me of Space Exploration's industrial furnace and casting machines.

That's not the sort of power from above churches are supposed to believe in.

Pointing a desk fan into a computer works fine and is a useful troubleshooting step if you suspect something is overheating, but if you need to do it that probably means heatsinks are clogged with dust, aren't sized appropriately or aren't making good contact. So you really should fix that problem.

Fulgora. It's an experience.

Just got to my first new planet.

Why won't the government just give them the money and trust that they'll do what they said? It worked out great paying companies to roll out fiber years ago, that's why we're all on reliable, high speed fiber internet today.

The free trial isn't a business model. It's a demo.

You only have a F2P model after you add the aggressive monetisation.

Okay, but if they packed it full of microtransactions and premium currency, it'd be a worse game.

Unless you mean you just want the publisher to make less money, which isn't an option they're going to be interested in.

German has a word for this guy:

Backpfeifengesicht

(colloquial) a punchable face; a face "in need of a punch".

I for one definitely feel like big corporations are pissing on me.

IIRC different species of frogs make wildly different sounds, so all of the languages might just be what type of frog lives in that country.

Voting third party under the US system doesn't improve society so, like you, the meme kind of misses the point.
