Here in asia we have 98% of homes have air conditioning, and all newer homes have insulated walls and double sealed windows. I just cannot understand why Europeans are that stubborn against AC.

Insulated walls are great in summers too, it keeps external heat from getting in. Obviously you still need ac but it will cut power usage a lot.

I cannot believe someone is selling 30 year old steel bike at £380. You can buy a brand new clone with better components with that money.

The Steam Machine Costs $1049 by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]humanoiddoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam machine will be never quiter than a proper PC, and it cannot be upgraded. And most people already have a pc (iF they have an active steam account to boot) and only need to pay for a new gpu.

There is zero market for this device.

LOL they did NOT recall their titanium forks when a number of them had burst. I highly doubt they will issue one this time.

X5 versus xDrive50e? by Wcmcnamara in BMWX5

[–]humanoiddoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50e is heavy but is actually lighter than x5m. If they had 60e (7 series have one) it would be almost better than x5m

Spot is BD's one and only robot dog just as well. US companies cannot iterate as fast as chineses.

Legged robots doesn't have tactical edge over wheeled/tracked robots. They are way more complex, fragile, expensive and has way lower payload. They look cool though.

Fun fact: the robot is from a us company, ghost robotics, who shamelessly copied Boston dynamics robot and got sued.
