Ratcliffe-on-Soar, which has been producing energy since 1967, will shut next week.
We've been counting down to this for years now and we're finally on the other side of coal power. Great! đ„ł
A year or two ago my LG B8 automatically bricked itself unless I agreed to the new terms and conditions. Literally something like "to continue using your tv please agree to the new terms", and if I didn't it was just bricked. They could have put anything in there and it was just "click agree or never use this device again".
It's not been connected to the internet since.
Agreed, but I have a hard time reconciling "idiot" and "moron" being acceptable but not this. They're basically used as synonyms
True, but Factorio is natively supported on Apple Silicon and runs incredibly well on my M1 Air. I can't even play Satisfactory.
I suppose well is common enough that it's become naturally integrated and I don't notice it. seldom is much rarer so hasn't hit that saturation point where I stop noticing it. And it just feels more egregious when you can say rarely instead, a much more common word.
Idk, I know it's a perfectly cromulent word but it just sounds wrong to me.
I've always hated "seldom". It just sounds so wrong to have an adverb not ending in -ly. It should clearly be seldomly. Or you can just say "rarely" which means exactly the same so idk why we need two words for the same thing.
so you're suggesting that it's feasible to use a video stream from the car to read lips by, what, paying out of pocket to send the video stream over the built-in cellular? Possible, sure. Then receiving it at a datacentre and running one of the most computationally intensive algorithms in existence on the video stream, 24/7? Or at least only when I'm using the car? so the datacentre is processing presumably tens or hundreds of thousands of these all at once, so at let's say 5mbps per video that could easily be multiple terrabits per second of bandwidth, consuming megawatts of power in order to spy on people in probably the least efficient and most expensive way imaginable, and all to determine that I said I like coke rather than pepsi so the car company can receive $0.01 in selling that to some ad company?
Is that scenario possible? Yes. Is it happening? I am certain that it's not in any rational company. The same line of reasoning applies to listening to your phone's microphone or camera, except there you'd also notice your phone getting hot and the battery dying in an hour or two.
The GPS thing is feasible. I don't know if they're doing that but they could. As soon as you mention transmitting video feeds or cloud AI you're in conspiracy territory.
||Now, Tesla's on-device AI processing using the driver's power bill to analyse video on-site and only send the tiny results into the cloud.. is very different. ||
Someone could simply use GPS and see that the only place in the area thatâs open is the gay bar and infer from that, or even lip reading.

I just went to old.reddit.com and continually clicked links for 10 minutes, loading new pages and comment sections over and over again. I hit no limit.
I found this a pretty good read - https://www.nationalgrid.com/sites/default/files/documents/39111-Undergrounding_high_voltage_electricity_transmission_lines_The_technical_issues_INT.pdf
It talks about why burying cables is hard. It's not really technical so quite accessible for noobs like me who don't know this stuff.
By that logic you could argue that you're always licking carbon since your tongue has a lot of carbon in it. But I think the carbon has to be pure for it to count. If it's in a compound molecule it's void
The deadline to phase out coal from Great Britain's energy system has been brought forward by a whole year, highlighting the UKâs leadership to go further in driving down emissions and tackling climate change.

Government projections suggest wind and solar are on track to become orders of magnitude cheaper than gas power over the coming decade
The application was refused by nine votes to two at a planning meeting.

I didn't know Wales had 75MW of sunlight across the whole country tbh
"Sir John Rose, the chief executive of Rolls to 2011, said that any risk that the Rolls design might not be 'best in class' would be outweighed by the overall gains that could be made by backing Rolls."

I'm already with Octopus, but I've just had a smart meter installed, so I'm looking at moving to one of their EV tarrifs. These seem like kind of a no-brainer, but I'm a bit suspicious. It seems sort of too compelling.. what am I missing?
I'm currently paying 29.26p/kWh and 53.96p/day. Both EV tarriffs are 29.56p/kWh, so only 0.3p more, and the standing charge is the same. But, both tarriffs offer cheap overnight power; Go offers 4 hours at 9.5p/kWh, and Intelligent offers 6 hours at 7.5p/kWh (so why would you ever choose Go..?). I guess you'd choose Go if you can't or don't want to link your car's API to Octopus, but I see no other disadvantage).
Is anyone here on either the Go or Intelligent tarriff? Any regrets or non-obvious gotchas to watch out for?

I don't really know how languages work in the feddiverse but I've heard that not setting the post langauge at all can result in your post being hidden from most users. So I always set my posts' language to English. I find it a little silly that I have to scroll through a giant list of all possible languages to find mine. I have configured the language on my account so t should default to that. Or at least it should be at the top of the list.
Demand is 27.1 GW at the time of this post. 3.6 GW (13%) is coming from gas; 2.7GW (10%) from nuclear; a net 1.6% is coming from imports.
