Tried it yesterday. Not working on Amazon links quite yet, hopefully the feature improves. Would love the ability to toggle it for default.

Insert required Fuck Intuit/TurboTax/CreditKarma here, who spends billions to make the tax system stays as complicated as it is.

The IRS already knows how much everyone should be paying, so just give us a single bill already.

Pretty sure they're all mirrored off one of the first two? The reflections don't work right.

You may say that jokingly, but at some point if the tech keeps improving, that may be the only way the world continues to exist without destabilizing. OpenAI already says* that their end goal is to make the world powered by a form of universal basic income by having AI do most jobs. Having the AI be paid on task completion and distributing that accumulated wealth, removing a portion to cover maintenance, would be one method of doing so.

*that said, the words of a potential megacorporation aren't really to be trusted, and the whole thing would have massive issues of "how do you distribute the money" and "what am I giving up in terms of personal safety and privacy". Having to make an account with a specific AI company and providing all your governmental identification to receive that funds for example would be terrible.

Given how repairable the steam deck already is, it'd be nice if it could be pushed one step further and make some sort of mini-socket for the SoC.

Obviously that's not a Valve thing to do but an AMD, and trying to downscale a desktop CPU socket style is primed for failure (a lot of companies are soldering on for a reason), but if AMD could make a standardized "whole system chip" that can just be swapped every generation, you wouldn't have to purchase the chassis over and over again.

Yeah, I saw "Android 12" and got confused. 13's been out for a while now, and 14 has open betas on some phones...

Looking at Destiny. Game worked okay on Linux before they integrated Battleye, which HAS Linux support, but Bungie just doesn't want to interact with it.

Depends on how they're inverting the power. If they're sticking with the DC voltage straight from the panel, that's probably one thick cable. If each panel or group of panels has an inverter to go to high voltage (AC or DC) to a central location, you can proportionally scale the thickness as voltage increases.

I'd be happy if they just forbid him from using electronics. That said, that didn't work so great for Andrew Tate...

Edit: on second thought, maybe not. He's been caught so far because he DID use them and got recorded.

Not even a conductor at all, apparently.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.06256 this group (mentioned jn the article above) synthesized a fully pure crystal, and found that has a resistance in the several megaohms at room temperature. Just a purple piece of glass, functionally speaking. The thoughts of superconductivity was due to random copper sulfate impurities which DO conduct electricity.

Every battery has a voltage curve though; even alkaline batteries will drop off the 1.5v region after some time. Comparatively, ni-mh rechargeables will hold 1.2v more consistently and for longer than an alkaline, where it's voltage drops pretty quickly as the battery dies.
