There are a number of 6-8GWe nuclear plants that dump 15+GW into the nearby sea (or in the case of Bruce, into Lake Huron). I don’t see it being much of an issue. Better than virtually any other cooling option.

The issues are maintenance, energy source, and equipment supply.

Not just jobs. AI can’t hold copyright. This could have messy legal implications.

OpenAI is joined at the hip with MS, right?

What’s the bet this is MS’s attempt at getting back into the corporate mobile space again? Brand it as CoPilot Phone…

RAM’s main advantage over HDDs/SSDs is fast access times.

Needing to fetch anything over the internet would make it faster to just use HDDs.

Some idle comments:

• In hot climates, an indoors HWHP is preferred, as it offsets AC loads. In cold climates, put it outdoors.

• Avoid putting AC units directly in the kitchen due to fouling the filters.

• Multiple single splits can be cheaper than a multi split, and are generally slightly more efficient.

• Shade can help reduce AC loads significantly.

Surprised the sheep aren’t mentioned more; presumably someone (different landowner?) owns them and is upset at losing 59.

Doesn’t sound like they own it. Sounds like the river burst/overtopped its banks somewhere and they complained that it was flowing out of the river/wetlands onto their land.

Not clear the farmer expected this rather than either fixing the breach and/or reduced but not zero flow.

PCs have almost never supported CEC. PCs use a different signalling method to indicate to the monitor that they’re on/off.

That is sort of what sponsored segments are, and what sponsorblock is quite effective at dealing with.

If they’re injected on the fly at variable time points, it gets harder, but I suspect fingerprinting could work well enough.

TVs often do a bad job at switching on when the computer turns on, then off when it turns off/goes to sleep. Drives me spare. That was fixed in like 1995-2000 for normal monitors.

I expect so.

KDE Connect also works great as a remote control for many things, presumably including this.

Secondhand stuff can be really cheap if you know where to look, but the drawbacks are usually power and noise.
