The idealist in me agrees fully, the realist in me does not.

However I am not in charge of any negotiation on that scale so, my opinion is meaningless

This happens in every large defense deal, I mean corruption, not just the allegations…

You won’t sell your weapons without some bribery in many countries

1. We are talking about to vastly different entities, to even consider that they would be equal in terms of energy use for a similar task is dumb. That would be like expecting the energy use for transporting box by truck or by ship to be equal. That just doesn’t work.
2. The results are not even comparable.

I just listed them

People consume that too. Even while not working.

That is correct, but you completely miss the scales, not to mention the lack of learning when the AI makes a mistake.

When a human makes a mistake, they can learn from it, understand what went wrong and improve, when an AI makes a mistake it is just being told “bad”, it is really difficult to define why you rejected a specific response.

So not only does AI use more energy, far more is wasted

Have you not heard about the Eurofighter or the Gripen?

I have blocked Hexbear, not due to their opinions but due to their behavior.

They seem to prefer trolling and sarcasm over arguments in my experience.

Hexbear is mostly an annoying troll community, my Lemmy experience has been way better since I blocked the community.

“I own”

The state security services have found that you have stolen government property in your possession, you are being sent to the Gulag.

Cool, but the fact remains that you can’t get a useful amount to water from dry air, and in a humid climate there are other sources of water that is cheaper and easier to exploit.

EDIT: downvoting facts I see, please don’t turn Lemmy into Reddit

Funny, I have done it for years at home, I guess I am just confused

I ruined my audio ports on my computer and now run my speakers through my monitor using DP, it works great!

HDMI requires a license cost, DisplayPort is free.

What advantage does HDMI hold over DisplayPort?

When stuff like this happens, I always wonder what lead up to the situation that made the police think that tasering a person in a high risk situation is an appropriate use of force.

The title if the article talks about an ambulance but I don’t really see it mentioned in the article.

Also, another question, the guy who’s car hit the kid when the police deployed their taser in a reckless manner, does they count as a victim as well, I mean you’d expect that killing a kid with you car will give you some PTSD in any normal person, not to mention having to get your car repaired is not cheap, and since the accident was in general caused by the police acting recklessly, one would argue that the police should pay.

On the other hand, if the kid was fleeing the police it could be argued that if he hadn’t, the tasering would not have happened, so is the kid’s family responsible?

I am just interested in the logistics…

What happens to the people involved?

Based on your question, I will assume that you are inexperienced with computer hardware and advanced tools for rescuing data.

So let me be blunt, this a summary of what you should do:

1. Stop using the drive
2. Unplug the drive
3. Put the drive in a warm dry place
4. Assume that water has got into the drive
5. Give it time to dry completely
6. Start saving money, you’ll need it…
7. Start looking at data recover companies
8. Read reviews and check prices

There are tools you can use at home, but unless you have some understanding of the risks and have internalized them, you should not try them on this drive.

What you can do if you have a spare computer and spare external drive that you can test with is to experiment with that and learn how data recovery might work, unfortunately you probably won’t be able to exactly recreate a scenario as you are experiencing with the other drive, but it might be a decent learning experience.

Oh yes, the original CD release had a Linux installer, I remember installing it on a Dell E5400 running Ubuntu before heading to a LAN party.

Worked great!

Remember that a person can be a dick and still be correct.

I did find his rant about feminism to be annoying and over the top, but when it comes to science, like it or not, he has plenty of credentials.

But since you dismiss him so easily, please tell me what he is wrong about with regards to water from air tech.

That works great when there is moisture in the air, whwn there is moisture in the air, there is usually a better way of collecting it for less energy.

You posted a solar still, a device which uses solar energy to distil water, an excellent solution to get water while on a desert island.

It won’t nearly as well in dry climates

Also, “zero energy use”?

Are you high?

Sunlight is still energy, it absolutely uses energy.

Finally, the is a new adaption of an old tech that has been proven to not work as advertised time and time again, it is on the creators of the new tech to prove that it works, I don’t have to disprove this at all, that has been done time and time again.

Yeah, I remember watching Thunderf00t’s videos on Fontus and the other stupid shit

From the first paragraph of the article:

Even in desert conditions, there exists some level of humidity that, with the right material, can be soaked up and squeezed out to produce clean drinking water.

In the dry dessert the amount if water in the air is so minuscule that it just doesn’t doesn’t make any sense to do this.

Regarding the “clean” claim, you would get all the crap from the air in your water, also to preserve the water you would need to keep it chilled after boiling it, else you get sick, badly sick.
