Sounds like they are a liability when you put it that way.

They weren’t designed for privacy. I’m guessing to was to protect against the elements.

I think they are still around because the government told them they can’t remove them. They are considered a public resource. Remember, Telstra used to be a government entity before it was privatised.

They used mirrors in that film

I think they’ve even been forced to pay fines because they refused to give refunds in countries where it’s a legal right.

Wake up babe, new Fast & Furious plot just dropped

So… Microsoft is involved

Mark Wahlberg said if he was on the Death Star it would not have gone down like that.

Things don’t freeze in space. It’s actually very hard to lose heat in space because a vacuum is a very good insulator. If it’s in direct sunlight it’ll get hot.

Also to freeze you need moisture, which typically boils off in a vacuum.

If we lose the meaning of the word NAS then we can’t effectively talk about it. And enough new people are coming in and being taught that a NAS is the thing that runs Plex that it’s sometimes impossible to have a conductive conversation.

For me it’s not about what else I can run on it. I want my services separated from my storage devices. If I throw everything into one physical machine it takes everything down if something goes wrong. It’s also harder to do upgrades without needing to replace entire machines

And as usual everyone is saying NAS, but talking about servers with a built in NAS.

I’m not saying you can’t run your services on the same machine as your NAS, I’m just confused why every time there’s a conversation about NASs it’s always about what software it can run.

Just fly on a weekend. It’s typically worse on Monday to Friday planes.

Isn’t this just a new middleman? This is just what Didi is to Uber. It’s a competitor platform whose marketing equates to “the employees sole traders will get a slightly bigger share then the other platform. Look how sanctimonious we are!”. After getting market share they will be free to alter the deal. Co-owner by a successful industry professional? This is a business venture, not a charity.

I don’t think this is at all to do with that. This is sociopathy mixed with greed. He hid his mother’s body so he could run the pension scam in addition to his property portfolio.

What’s the problem with it being French? Or is this just a smooth-brained nationalist comment?

I’d be surprised if this actually eventuates, but if it does I’d be surprised if it was any good.

I’m a huge fan, but the IP has been dead in the water since 2009 despite attempts to revive it.

Would you say the same if she had a bottle of whiskey? Or pornography? What about a gun?

Just because it was something that can be used responsibly by adults doesn’t absolve the negligence of leaving it to be used by children.

It’s more a call to action. Don’t be so defensive.

Batteries are still less energy dense and portable than fossil fuels. I think this is easily navigated for private use - provide a wide charging infrastructure - but heavy industry is the harder problem to solve, but to match how fossil fuels are used and to change the opinions and expectations of those in charge.

A lot of remote sites rely on diesel or petrol generators, and I don’t think there’s an equivalent device to provide clean energy in both capacity and portability. I believe the only way to change industrial clean energy adoption is to make clean energy cheaper. Politicians won’t tax fossil fuels (because it’s political suicide in most economies), so we need more emerging technologies before we can get close to actual industry adoption.
