Not Linux, but VMS is specifically designed to run on VAX systems.

-gate is the suffix applied to scandals.

-a-Lago is the suffix for stupid scandals.

The Nazi salute isn’t Elongate, it’s MuskOff-a-Lago.

Continuing a proud tradition.

Fanta originated in Nazi Germany because they couldn’t source the ingredients for the Coke recipe.

He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.

No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.

That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.

I’ve considered Windows a toy OS for decades because the only use case anyone can legitimately make for needing to use it is to play games.

Economics is a tool. All tools can become weapons when used in an incendiary way.

I’d like to live and participate in a society which has a robust and supportive economy, as opposed to an overbearing economy which treats society as an extractive resource.

Economics filled the void in society vacated by religion after the Enlightenment.

A mechanism of control, conjured by the ruling class, imposed indiscriminately upon the masses, protected from scrutiny, and justified by arbitrary, curated rules.

  • Economists are its priests.
  • Banks its churches.
  • Finance its mythology.
  • GDP its God.

It’s a Sony 65” 2019 4K LCD panel.

2160p registers ~200W, 1080p ~100W.

The measured 2160p feed is from a 2017 Apple TV 4K, 1080p from a docked Nintendo Switch.

I’m in Australia, so my perspective may be skewed. The trailer would be optional, and I only mentioned it as the system as proposed could be just an extension of the self contained removable battery in a vehicle.

Unless batteries can become tremendously lighter, I see a standardised, swappable EV battery a given as a means to further increase vehicle efficiency. Why lug around hundreds of km of range when the distance between typical charging points is a fraction of that.

The batteries are what make EVs heavier compared to ICE vehicles, and the majority of trips don’t call for anything close to their peak range.

Installing a fraction of the capacity as a static battery would reduce weight for shorter trips, also extending the typical range.

Removable batteries could be installed in a standard cavity in the undercarriage, or in the regular cargo space, it just needs an electrical connection to the rest of the system.

Fast charging is also a problem, as it disproportionately affects the performance and longevity of the batteries. Swapping batteries would permit charging them at a more leisurely and manageable rate.
