Well, all the reactors in Europe are supposed to be of a similar design – they had a big push to make the EPR reactors, which are a pressurized heavy water system, which is a bit old fashioned and requires a decent amount of passive safety to be built into the system. One of the first of those series to function was actually the one built in China which saw very few cost overruns and was generally finished within the original timeframe.

China is ahead because of their advanced manufacturing economy. They literally build every single reactor component in house and don’t have to really rely on any outside companies for basically anything.

They have mostly North American designed reactors, ranging from CANDUs to their version of the Westinghouse AP-1000. Westinghouse basically went bankrupt trying to make the AP-1000 a viable reactor and when they started slipping, China came in and bought the schematics, modified them, and that’s their primary reactor design these days.

If you look at all the reactors worldwide that are being built, the majority of them in Europe are massively behind schedule for various reasons that probably get ignored by the Chinese. For example, one of the reactors in France is multiple billions above budget and about a decade behind due to the lack of precision of the builders, forcing them to re-assess and re-build key structural components multiple times over.

I second KDE Connect, especially if you’re already invested in the KDE ecosystem.

I have it on my phone and it allows me to do remote access, in addition to using the device as an input. It also does handoff stuff like letting you answer your texts on your desktop, and I find that feature set works more consistently than Your Phone by MS.

lmao you don’t even know what legal tools exist to examine this volume of documents.

Do some research if you’re going to be up in arms about stuff. Do even more research when you decide to be up in arms about how a billionaire gaming the system is somehow being treated unfairly after ripping millions of dollars off people, creating these terabyte repositories of illegal transactions.

I like the Arc series as a concept, because they’re the only value-driven option. Nvidia is just about pumping power and AMD is about trying cool gimmicks like dual clocks and chiplets.

Eventually I hope that the Arc series contributes to an Intel chiplet series similar to the APUs available on handhelds.

Huh, the time machine must be off. This was news from a decade ago.

It’s actually one of the main reasons we switched off Skype to Discord for most gaming socialization.

Let’s try reading the articles before discussing them, next time.

Looks like even the original article I could find was updated to state that it was a hypothetical.

The last time they tried this the UAV decided that the operator was interfering in their goal so it adapted to try to kill the home base because the operators were telling it not to destroy targets, and all it understood was “killing targets = good”.

I’m pretty sure there are reasonable expectations by governments that you maintain adequate moderation, especially the EU. If Mozilla were to deploy a public facing system and not moderate it, they would catch hell from the EU and likely be fined out the ass.

No, that’s when they’re fascists

Every single comment chain on this thread besides this chain are 100% wrong and operating on misleading information. I fucking hate how up in arms people get when they don’t even have the full picture - even the basics, like having read the fucking article.

They have a duty to moderate public-facing systems. This is a link/bookmark sharing system, so obviously bookmarks that are pointing to things that are illegal are going to be dealt with.

That’s something I hate about the fediverse is that we have so many layers of links that you never get the original article, you get seven recursive links to other federated sites and maybe if you’re lucky on the last link you find the original article.

It’s fun and finished. Too bad you don’t like it but it’s a really enjoyable game for most players including myself.
