where does the rest of europe get its uranium? genuinely never thought about it.

hibernation is in general not supported with full disk encryption, and is not recommended. you can do it but it’s a hassle and will lead to hangs on wakeup if you don’t configure it correctly. i gave up on it.

until you need a ^ and have to deal with dead keys

no. i don’t pretend to even begin to understand how the prototype at wardenclyffe was supposed to work. i do remember that it supposedly used the atmosphere as a transmission line, but whether that meant bouncing the signal off of it (meaning it was radio based) or somehow charging it (meaning it was static based) i couldn’t tell you.

it’s not a news video.

tesla’s idea was global wireless power. no idea what his efficiency numbers were though.

it does say on the site for the device that it draws 100W, but in the video he says that there is a 10W minimum draw, so i’m assuming it goes up from there

great idea to just wrap existing tools! love that. now i just need to figure out how to switch out the editor…

95 ton, 76 000hp electric motor. i feel like that may be important context.

the change was probably done quietly because of the extreme reaction the first time.

swedes tend to be to-the-point, and especially in english-language circles we tend to come off as rude even though that’s not our intention. it’s a cultural thing. kling is also a recovering addict who started his os project as therapy. i can sympathise with his tone but that’s because i automatically translate it subconsciously when reading.

also, hen is not equivalent to they. hen is originally a replacement for the longer expression “han/hon” in legal texts, used specifically as “a theoretical person of unknown gender” it’s a very recent invention and has not yet made it into general use. we don’t really have a generic singular gender-neutral pronoun. it’s still applicable here, but the issue was sidestepped entirely by switching to second-person pronouns.

and then merged the pr. masculine pronouns for this sort of thing was taught as the standard in swedish schools until pretty recently.

this was a language issue. kling is not good at english. all the language has been fixed.

momika did it specifically to spark outrage among immigrants. don’t do that.
