That seems very unlikely as the Switch was incredibly successful and Nintendo has no reason to merge with anyone.

The only one of the three big console producers that is likely to change to a different model regarding hardware is Microsoft. Maybe they will not drop out entirely, but it is unlikely that they will try to compete again with a future PS6.

And Sony is still complaining about bad sales... I wonder if Microsoft will even bother with another console again. I guess they will pull a SEGA and just start selling games on other consoles.

I think that CPU only supports up to 8GB RAM. Also the m2 is only for Wifi cards I think.

I have a somewhat similar ASUS board and it is quite ok otherwise, but don't expect wonders from that CPU.

A bit annoying will be that you need to either use one of the four SATA ports for the system drive, or find some way to boot from the PCIe 1x port. The similar ASUS board that I have does not support booting from NVMe drives though, so even if you added an adapter for this it probably wouldn't work (maybe if there is an BIOS update for it).

You could boot from a USB3 drive... not ideal but workable. Or add more SATA ports via an PCIe 1x extension card... but those might be hard to find, usually they require a longer (4x?) PCIe port.

P.S.: if you end up buying that board I can sell you 2x 4GB DDR3 SODIMMs that I have currently no use for :p

They have no ability to glide like a plane in the event of an engine failure.

This is actually not true: https://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/a20559/how-helicopters-land-safely-engine-cuts-out/

I wonder what happens if the cable that carries this much power breaks under water. And even if it doesn't break the elecro-magnetic field around it is gonna be massive.

But anyway, other similar projects have either failed (plans to build such a giant solar-farm in Morocco) or have pivoted to "green" hydrogen as the energy transport medium.

Yes, for example there is /c/balconygardening here on the SLRPNK Lemmy and all the moderators of that community with an SLRPNK account can also edit the community specific wiki over here: https://wiki.slrpnk.net/balconygardening:start

These permisions are automatic and you can create as many wiki pages as you like under the specific wiki namespace.

Edit: Let me see if there is a nice QR code externsion for Dokuwiki that I can add. Edit: Ah: if you click on the menu and select "Export as PDF" the resulting PDF also includes a QR code to the page already.

Edit2: after reading your post again: yes you can of course also just link to external already existing website in a new Lemmy community that you create here.

For longform blogs we host Movim (which is also a nice federated chat app for Jabber/XMPP) and in addition we have a Dokuwiki where community moderators can make a dedicated wiki. Both are integrated with our Lemmy instance here, so you can just use your existing account user and password to log in.

The problem is that the so called privacy community is full of security LARPers that have no idea what their threat model is and in addition many snakeoil vendors trying to sell you (usually unnecessary or even counter-productive) VPNs etc.

So it's understandable that people get tired of these grifters and stop bothering.

Fedora KDE spin is a nice relative beginner friendly distro. But it doesn't really matter which one you use.

The main issue with dual booting is the initial setup and preventing Windows from messing up the Linux boot loader.

You can either install it on the same drive with different partitions and use the Linux boot loader to select the system to boot, or you can install it on a separate drive and use the boot override function of your mainboard to switch. The latter is a bit easier to setup and with no risk of Windows overwriting the Linux bootloader, but not all mainboards allow easy switching.

An air-to-water heat-pump and a solar-thermal (vacuum tubes) hot water heater combination.

No one in their right mind goes out and stabs their flatmate and a random 70 year old passerby, not even a wanna be terrorist. The deeply racist UK juridical system is not a good reference for deciding this.

And I am not here to do research for you, but if you spend even 5 minutes googling you will easily find that right-wing politically movitated violent crime easily dwarfs those figures (despite systematic under reporting of those by the police).

And while you are at it, look up domestic violence figures which are also orders of magnitude higher, even if you just count the ones with deaths or serious injuries.

I recommend you to read up on the history of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

Except that at least Voice of Europe was used to launder bribes to EU right-wing politicians recently.

What a dumb comment. Scotland is an oil and gas exporter themselves. If anything you could blame them for being in the pockets of their own local fossil fuel industry.

Please consider finding a different news source next time as anything from Sky news is almost by default against rule 3 of this community.

This incident wasn't a terrorist attack though, but rather a single individual with apparent mental health issues. Such attacks happen all the time, and this one only made the news because a person was killed and the attacker was of a certain ethic background.

Furthermore 208 attacks in a span of 18 years is laughably low, especially when compared to the thousands of right-wing attacks that happened during the same time.

I happen to know the approximate area where this is being trialed, and a bike (even an electric one) is really only an alternative for hard-core all-weather bikers that have no problem driving 60+ kilometres a day.

The distances are just too far, the weather too bad 80% of the year, and the shrinking, elderly population too low density for other means of public transport to work economically.

The options are really either cars, such kind of novel ideas, or abandoning these tiny villages all together.

Maybe speak to a union representative? I mean, aside from the ICE or electric question, the plan to move to privately owned cars is clearly an effort to push hidden costs onto their employees and the union might be interested in preventing that. And once that option is off the table, an electric fleet might become the next best option.

The tracks are also already there, and gyroscope stabilized monorail is a 100+ year old technology, not much new to develop about it other than using modern battery technology and some basic self-driving features for it.

Just dealing with with land rights for the extra space the second track would need is a nightmare. And the very idea of these is to use existing tracks without getting into new track construction.
