A lot of layoffs are not yet in the “monthly” job numbers, because somehow severance means you are still counted as employed.

Environmental Protection Agency moved to repeal the Obama-era “endangerment finding,” a declaration that because carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases (like methane) endanger public health and welfare, the government is justified in using the Clean Air Act to regulate them.

GHGs are not “pollutants”. GHG warming does create earlier springs (melt season) and drier forests from which fires can spread wider, and pollutants drifting where people live. The clean air act was still the wrong framework to try to extend to GHGs because it applies to pollutants, and assholes would reverse it.

The Carolinas have specifically had higher sea level rise than elsewhere in US, because recent history has much warmer than historical coastal waters. Ocean levels overall so far have been dominated by sea temperature increase rather than polar land melting. No Buoy data reported either by DOE or this article.

I don’t oppose this reasearch. Cloud seeding, or unexplained cloud brightening, is the safest of all geoengineering methods. and there is a theory that less sulfur in shipping fuel and diesel is causing fewer clouds. A world with 1%-5% more clouds will be cooler.

Seeding clouds in middle of ocean is a more prudent location than dealing with complaints. This should be more about testing machine capacity, cloud longevity, and functionality in open ocean waves rather than affect coastal communities for now.

sorry for Gemini link to prompt below, but google itself doesn’t provide any top page links to answering the question, or questions about “software wifi to radio conversion”. GrapheneOS does not provide the functionality. Seems like only process to transmit/receive at a different band is to use hardware that bridges from wifi signal to radio signal.

modify phone wifi frequency to arbitrary frequency

It is generally not possible to directly modify the WiFi frequency on a smartphone to an arbitrary frequency. Smartphones are designed to operate within the standard WiFi frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and their corresponding channels. While you can influence which band your phone connects to (e.g., prioritizing 5 GHz for faster speeds), you can’t arbitrarily set the frequency. Why you can’t set an arbitrary frequency: Hardware limitations: Smartphones are built with hardware that supports specific frequency ranges (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz in most cases). Protocol compliance: WiFi communication relies on specific protocols (like 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) that are tied to these standard frequency bands. Router configuration: While you can configure your router to broadcast different SSIDs for each band (e.g., “MyWiFi_2.4GHz” and “MyWiFi_5GHz”), the phone’s connection is still limited to the supported frequencies. What you CAN do: Prioritize a band: You can influence which band your phone connects to by adjusting settings on the phone (if available) or by configuring your router to have separate SSIDs for each band. Choose the right band: For faster speeds, prioritize the 5 GHz band when it’s available. For better range and wall penetration, the 2.4 GHz band is better. Optimize router settings: Ensure your router is set up to broadcast on the desired bands and consider channel selection for optimal performance. In short, while you can influence the band your phone connects to, you cannot arbitrarily set the WiFi frequency on your smartphone.

After RTFAing, this seems to be Samsung just using an excuse to lock down their phone, rather than any specific order from EU telling them to.

Horrible ignorant propaganda infection to say this. Especially including Orban in your list. This is center, EU controlling, parties doing this. The “bad parties” are ultra conservative and anti immigrants, but their truly establishment-fear inducing characteristic is that they are anti-NATO warmongering. CDU, in Germany, has no problem imposing “populist” AfD inspired anti-immigration/muslim laws.

These laws/policies are not “populist fascism” support for oppressing liberals. No one is demanding their phones be locked, and supporting political candidates who will do this. This is just expansion of “Republicrat” establishment fascism that no one ever asked for.

You saying “this is all Putin’s fault” is just part of establishment fascist narrative of “you must be oppressed by war only budget, or Russia wins”.

If a user installs a ROM that interferes with radio frequencies

Do any “ROMs” or linuxes do this? Seems like you could get an “illegal USB bluetooth/wifi dongle” for shenanigans purposes instead. This all seems like such a pointless distraction that can only be to ensure that manufacturer backdoors are ensured as unescapable.

Likely progression is simply that food gets expensive, and is grown indoors. Technology doesn’t need to fall, though when slaves are not needed, soylent green is a “utilitarian” use for them under rules based world order. Food capacity and population that can afford to buy it will match. Fewer people does mean fewer iphones, and more expensive at lower scale.

Global warming, even at 5C, is more about increased misery and oppression, rather than mass deaths over a decade. Wikipedia will survive. The AI tech giants chatbots will explain why you need to die or be miserable until you die.

Life lesson = thieves will deflect criticism of the corporatist oligarchy supremacists by calling their theft socialism. Gimme your sandwich, commie.

It’s a bit Data Center specific. Many are getting built. Business, and especially manufacturing, has always had big rate subsidies at expense of consumers. DCs don’t create many permanent jobs per MWh consumed though.

It is easy to conclude that costs to society from increased electric rates, outweigh the benefits of tax revenue and jobs, utility profits, and big tech profits. Ultimate argument is going to be, if you are not extorted by electricity scarcity, and big tech data collection, then China will win at AI, so FU commie.

The state exports almost three-fifths of the electricity it produces, according to the EIA.

this means to use internal “surplus” electricity in the state, 750mw data center would be supported. The initial build is 1.8gw. Need to increase electricity production in the state by over 150%. Surrounding states that depend on Wyoming imports get screwed if WY production not increased more.

EVs should be exempt from emissions test

seems like they already penalize EVs more. 500 gallons per year is an extra $30. $230 total. EV increases are $72 + a future mileage charge. There’s already $196/year extra EV charge. Close to existing gas tax on 500 gallons ($200).

He’s also being aggressive against countries who would like to tax the extortionist profits made by those companies from their people. “AI Action Plan” is focused on keeping world extorted by US tech giants without any foreign taxes on that extortion.

World seems to be sucking up to it. Democrats will not revoke new slavery status of colonies.

Not all “water use” is the same. Agriculture returns it to environment through drainage into acquifiers and rain cycle, though the rain can fall outside of community. Showers go through sewage system, and treatment recycles it. Fracking destroys water by polluting and sequestering it. Data centers cooling requirements do not need any treatment before returning water back to community’s clean water supply, afaiu, though certainly if treatment were needed, the data center should implement it.

We can/should be angry about datacenter electricity use if that makes electricity more scarce for the rest of us, and uses climate terrorist energy to do so. But water use should not be a problem. There would be a shower advisory anyway, without datacenter, afaik.

Article suggests that “evaporative cooling” means an open cooling cycle that releases steam. AFAIU, computer/data center cooling uses closed loops.

in practice…houses already have a “regular” water connection running to them. in order for this to be practical, you’re talking about having to run plumbing for a 2nd hot water connection. to every house.

many places, get their heating from such a 2nd pipe carrying NG to their house. While water needs a bigger pipe, it is low pressure, and can be thinner using less metal (or plastic) overall.

And fusion doesn’t work yet. May be 20+ years away for 20+ more years.

5 metric tons of gold created per GWh of electricity

per GW. 5000kg over whole year of 1gw reactor going almost continuous. While there is no theoretical possiblity of creating economically viable fusion energy, a minimum reactor size would be 10gw. Needs 1gw of backup fission to provide stable power input, and make the deuterium.

$500M/gw in gold revenue could make a difference in the economics. If fusion cost 2x what fission costs per gw, ($30/w) then it would make back its cost in gold only over 60 years, @$100/gram.

I interpret the results as men between 18 and 29 who’ve never had sex. I’d answer at least 1 if I had sex at 17.

OP is saying gay sex being excluded, iiuc. Trend seems extreme since 2008, and it would be nice to see the spikes to 16% or so 3 times between 1989 and 2008. The spikes could be corelated to rising stock market bubbles for all I know. Seems over double the 1989-2008 average that I guesstimate at 12%.

Maybe gay men used to experiemnt with women to “find out”? Maybe harsher economic inequality keeps men home? It’s not obviously internet porn, which became available in late 90s, though 20 years later would get a lot of under 30s.
