There is the aspect not many are talking here.

When previously people released software, there was no easy way to release patch. This means that the first release is the release most of people are going to use forever.

Nowadays you can very easily patch after release, which means that you can be quick to release, and fix later. This means that you can never install anything .0 version, because they are buggy as hell.

All large cities in Finland are heated by combined heat and power (CHP) power plants.

These power plants first make super heated steam (like 800°C, 1500°F), runs that through turbine to make electricity, then send the cooled down water (80-150°C, 170°F-300°F) to all homes through district heating grid.

From that water the home is heated and hot water is used.

Now that we have the district heating network, when electricity is cheap, we can also use electricity to boil the water and send it through the grid. Water is also easy to use as storage, if the need of consumption requires buffering.

Smaller cities use just heat plants, were there is no turbine for electricity generation, just the heating of water to district heating grid.

Most plants use biomass as power source in the power plants, historically they were coal, but it has been now almost completely phased out.

You can call me sentimental, but 1996-1999 were the golden age of new gaming IP. Most of games are sequels to franchises created in those few years. Like Fallout, GTA, Half-Life, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Baldurs Gate, Smash, Quake, and many more.

It was a privilege to live as a teenager then.

So long ago, that might have memory corrupted.

True, kcd2 was awesome. Let’s hope the collapse of AAA just means better indie and small studio games

Yeah, you are correct. Dead of big studios is not probably that bad.

I have steam account from CS 1.0 (can legally buy beer), and hundreds of games. I still say that gaming is dead, especially AAA gaming. This year has been quite shit compared to previous one’s and it has been a trend for years. Indie and small studios are the way forward.

To be fare, you can open PDF in Word and it converts it to editable docx

The problem is that it can only be speculated how they work, because they have not published it. That is quite suspicious in my book.

I personally would avoid reolink and use rtsp + frigate + ha, to have full control with known open source selfhosting solution.

I understand that people like the easy setup, but if you already do selfhosting, it isn’t that big jump.

Be careful with reolink, their P2P solution is pretty suspicious. No body really knows how it works and who it shares the data with.

You can disable those features, but it will stop reolink app from working.

They have never explained how the peer-2-peer network works, and it security and privacy is quite unknown.

Reolink is Chinese, which doesn’t really help these concerns.

Better to selfhost frigate and just rtsp cameras there.

Isn’t that already cleared in hearings, “I did not have sex with that woman”, BJ is not sex /s

Serious answer to non-serious question, corpos can deliver apps to phones past app stores, e.g. intune/company portal etc.

And 1998 isn’t far behind with:

• Half-Life
• StarCraft
• Baldurs Gate
• Unreal
• Metal Gear Solid
• Resident Evil II
• Ocarina of time
• Soul Calibur
• Spyro

I am sorry guys, old man here, but 1997 was the best year for gaming:

• Diablo
• Fallout
• Quake II
• Ultima Online
• Ages of Empires
• Final Fantasy 7
• Grand Turismo
• Golden Eye 007
• Starfox 64
• Crash Bandicoot II
• Tomb Raider II
• PaRappa the Rapper

How the hell do you beat that? Most of the games released yearly are sequels to these games.

Those are pressured systems, the water is kept in high pressure, which means it is liquid water. When it goes through turbine it it steam, usually superheated.

In industrial settings you can get water to 350°C in liquid form, it just about the pressure.

Even the city wide district heating networks water is kept at 3 bar, which can keep the water at liquid for 133°C in the winter time.

Aging Wheels bought Trike, he talks about the pedals

Critical infrastructure (water/electricity/internet) are of course things were government needs to be atleast heavily involved and controlling. And predatorial industries like gambling should be controlled.

Three things that should always be ran by government: healthcare, education and prisons.

They must exist, and privately owned ones will always have wrong base incentive.

With prisons especially, it is not the interest of private to rehabilitate, but to get people in prison loop. It just cannot work. It is just easy to sell to people because people want prison to be punishment facility.

So individuals and corps can buy VISA with this trump card? $1M per person? Who gets the money? Trump?!

And with $5M you can buy 270 day tax free VISA. That sounds fucking insane, come to us and move billion worth of assets and pay zero taxes. Jeesus fucking christ
