@thomasfuchs @chris Right. Newer heat pumps. We have a lot of work to do, especially in areas that never had AC before we have the opportunity to replace heating and add cooling. Just a lot of $$$. And all the storms are just going to get worse. Build your earth ship well above the flood zone!

@thomasfuchs It is my understanding this is one of the big concerns with global warming, AC is only good for 25-30 F lowering. So they won’t be effective as we warm and now northern populations will have both hot summers and arctic blasts in winter. Just more energy usage across the board.

@chris @thomasfuchs Great point. The key is to keep air from ever getting too hot. But the exchanger that sits outside still has the problem. Earth homes! Live under dirt!

@thomasfuchs The price, size, and weight for an M2 based device just isn’t going to sell in volume. Not sure how they get to $1999 and a laptop replacement.

@Gargron @caseynewton And there is already plenty of damage these current systems can do…

@thomasfuchs The NYPD has the same propagandists as the IOF apparently. They are bad at it. Bike locks and text books…

@thomasfuchs For those who are worried, this is a book by a historian of British rule in Ireland as well as the Middle East, Palestine, and Iraq. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Townshend_(historian)

@thomasfuchs I see. Pretty much put me off watching. Similarly, there is a lot I like about Invincible but the gory killing is just not my jam. News every day is already bad. 😳

@thomasfuchs Never played the game, but found the show to be bloody and over the top for shock effect... not my jam.

The #Lakers keep having 20 pt quarters. You aren't beating ANYONE with that bad of offense. Especially when you keep giving Gordon layups and shoot 7% from 3. #NBAPlayoffs

All you can ask of #Refs is that they be consistent. To say that the foul on DLo was too light to call the foul, and then turn around and call the foul for Murray the opposite way, and then NOT call a foul for LeBron on the drive… that's just bad. #NBA #NBAPlayoffs2024 #Lakers #Nuggets

@thomasfuchs Her and Galloway let their egos run them. It’s why she defended Musk for so long.

@johnlogic @thomasfuchs Seems many don't understand humor... at all.

@thomasfuchs If you wanted me to feel old you could have just reminded me that 90s music today is like 60s music was to me as a kid in the 90s… grrrrrrr.

@Gargron Yeah, I have an iPhone 12 Pro and Watch Series 4 (upgraded from the original 0) and nothing today is enticing me and I love gadgets...

@thomasfuchs The more I've learned about processor manufacturing, the more I'm convinced it is likely our biggest accomplishment. Such insane precision at SCALE is just incredible. Really dealing with manufacturing at “near” atom level.

@thomasfuchs There are only a few who work on it still. Right? To grow they need to generate revenue to hire more.

@thomasfuchs @qlp Flat design was appropriately criticized from the very beginning. I used Android’s first attempts as examples of poor design in my classes… you had NO idea what was and was not a tap target. Maddening! The problem is that too many #UX decisions are based solely on aesthetics instead of usability.

@qlp @thomasfuchs Literally every #UX designer... LOL

@rlux @thomasfuchs Hopefully it is a learning experience where admins understand better that throwing that switch has real, long-term consequences that they didn't think about. I hope…
