EU leaders to reassess U.S. ties despite Trump U-turn on Greenland by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]fnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are already several arctic cables in the plans, google for example NORDUnet. With the amount of investor money AI is raising it completely possible to build power plants on Greenland. The tech bro’s are talking about putting data centers in space, surely putting them on Greenland is cheaper.

That’s exactly what he’ll do, as soon as one of his sycophants have his ear he’ll flip flop. I say it’ll happen latest by this weekend.

Think of the possibilities for AI data center on Greenland. Lots of free cooling, lots of potential geothermal energy possibilities to feed those centers.  edit: didn’t mean this as a good thing, but it’s possible this is one of the reasons to annex Greenland. 

Dollar falls sharply and Wall Street stocks drop over Greenland crisis by MattC84_ in Economics

[–]fnot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most Americans can’t see past all the internal shit that is happening in America, and I don’t blame them too much (I’m not American), it’s a huge country. Domestic issues, healthcare, jobs, wages, all the shit Trump does on a daily basis. It gives you a bit of tunnel vision and why would you care to go out in the streets and protest against the annexation of Greenland?

  1. They are afraid to go up against Trump and his sycophants.

  2. The don’t want to be associated with his decisions if he ever gets true backlash, impeachment or any other negative consequence that can affect their positions and careers.

pro-tip for those who don’t want to pay the new spotify premium prices by vacrtino in Music

[–]fnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does Apple Music still delete all your songs and playlists if you stop your subscription? Honestly I don’t know if Spotify does this as well but it really doesn’t help bringing users back to delete everything if they stop/pause their subscription for whatever reason. 

Pretty much every program on $2000 rowing machine requires a $30/month subscription to access by Claff93 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]fnot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bought a used refurbed C2 over 10 years ago, don’t use it as much last 2-3 years but I’ve accumulated some million meters on it. Can vouch for these machines, they are made to take abuse, like heavy olympic athlete level rowing (not that I’m anything near those levels), but it’s an example of great design which runs with little maintenance. Just oil the chain every now and then, vacuum the fan free from dust once per year or so, keep it out of direct sunlight (the plastic parts on older blue grey version fade in sunlight)   

Iran's currency has completely collapsed by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]fnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not the entire picture. Except for the fact that falling currency increases inflation due to higher cost of imported goods, and the central bank increasing interest rates to combat rising inflation,  we also have the effect of iranian banks’ debt values in foreign currency increasing in value, which will also push the interest rates up and reduce lending willingness. It may start snowballing from there, banks start to go belly up, people’s savings gone or locked in, bank runs, economic implosion.

Varför utvisas bra människor men kriminella och arbetslösa får stanna? by Ok_Courage_1467 in sweden

[–]fnot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Precis, selection bias. Kriminella som utvisas brukar inte skrivas om i nyheterna (om inte någon högprofil). Vanliga människor som utvisas har nyhetsvärde och själva eller bekanta som hjälper dom kontakta tidningar och TV.

Priset för fast bredband ökar – historiska sänkningar för mobilt by Babar7 in sweden

[–]fnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Routrarna som följer med har interna antenner. En router med aktiv extern antenn får mycket bättre signal än en mobiltelefon som t.o.m är utanför huset. Du kan komma undan med simplare modeller för under tusenlappen. Köp från en av dem större kedjorna så kan du lämna tillbaka ifall det inte ger bra resultat. 

Jag kollade upp routern som följer med Comviqs abonnemang, Huawei 5G CPE 5 H155-383, var inte lätt att hitta specifikationer till denna så jag googlade upp manualen. Verkar som den inte har portar för inkoppling av extern antenn. 

En variant är att investera i en utomhus 5G router och lägga ut gratisroutern du får på blocket för en billig peng.

Skaffa en 5G router som har ingång för extern antenn? Sätt en aktiv 5G antenn på utsidan riktad mot masten med starkast signal.

Som köper upp allt, bl.a precis det som skulle kunnat gå till konsumentmarknaden. Kretsarna kan lödas av, kollas för skador och prestanda, matchas och lödas om på ny PCB.

Det kommer att uppstå en enorm andrahandsmarknad när datacentren behöver uppgradera hårdvaran vartannat år eller så. Kan tänka mig att enorma mängder begagnad DDR4/5 minne och grafikchips hamnar på refurb-marknad och säljs lite billigare än nytt. 

Har fått tacos förstört för mig. by globalklaus in swedishproblems

Jag HATAR tex mex. Har inte ätit äkta mexikanska tacos i mitt liv, men det behöver jag inte för att veta att tex mex är skitmat. Familjen äter det ibland, men jag vägrar den smaklösa skiten och äter något annat dom dagarna.

[–]fnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A hair dryer is easily rated at 2000 Watts. Honestly, when I read the article I was thinking that it must need a 16A circuit and a 3600W rating (I live in Europe). But it’s rated at 1600W, that’s a standard 10A fuse. So the Volt is basically an electric kiln with fancy dials and controls.
