The only issue I see with offshore wind power is the risk to national security if you become dependent on it.

Offshore wind farms opens up a big weakspot where an enemy can just take a sub and torpedo the plants themselves or the underwater cable connecting the windfarm to the gird.

I have never understood why people think that they are ugly, they are actually a bit cyberpunk/sci-fi when you see the advanced modern, sleek structures among the nature.

Why are NASA using microscopes to look at space?

Can the haters prove their hate by invoicing him?

So your comment is just fanboy bullshit?

That seems like a very simple problem to just not need to worry about.

Just don’t buy a smartwatch.

Sigh, how, just how do you quantify that?

Sigh, as the global tensions increase, so will the need for computing power for governments.

Cyberdefence is critical for survival, and the threats are just increasing.

I didn’t know they had Pepsi when these were used…

I really enjoyed the first one, and am looking forward to the second, but first it needs to get a better price, and preferably get on GOG.

Yeah, the price for new games had been fixed for a long time at €50, and then the industry decided to whack it up to €70 just as the cost of living reached even higher.

And now they are standing around scratching their heads asking why their games failed…

Now, I realize that the cost of living also affects companies and their staff, but come on, you don’t whack the price up by 40% in one go, you start earlier and raise it by 10-20%, let it stabilize and go from there.

That is more in line with the inflation rate.

It underperformed due to them overcharging for it.

I had my sights set on buying it shortly after launch, then they decided to charge €80 for it on launch, and still charge €70 for it.

I would be fine with €60, but more is just greedy.

And yes I noticed way too late that they had it on sale for €50 this december, and I missed that opportunity due to other expenses.

He cracked the encryption on his own, using only pen and paper.

When asked how he did it he simply said “A magician never reveals his tricks”

“…creating the world’s most overvalued private company.”

FTFY.

Yeah, ours came from asteroids from what I have heard

Good, that stupid design trend needs to die

You do know that you can pay for mullvad in cash?

You can send cash in an envelope to them with your mullvad ID and they will credit your account.

Right after the war we were not super popular, but it is important to not forget that we also helped the allies and our neighbors.

Examples:

When the Nazis wanted to use a telegraph line from Norway, through Sweden and onwards to the Third Reich, the internal response was:

Protest like hell, but thank god for the opportunity

We obviously tapped the line which carried the highest levels of communications in the Nazi government, this was obviously encrypted, and not with the simple Enigma machine, but with the far more capable Geheimschreiber, or Siemens & Halske T52 machine, in Sweden called “G-skrivaren”.

We collected everything on that line, and while we at first couldn’t read it, Swedish mathematician Arne Beurling managed to crack the code and we were reading the highest level of communications in the Nazi regime.

During the occupation of Norway, we got help from the Sapmi people who helped smuggle weapons and ammunition across the border, their nomadic lifestyle and northern heritage played well into the stereotypes that the Nazis had ascribed to them, and they were allowed to pass freely over the border.

We also set up training camps for police troops that were intended to quickly take back control from the Nazis when their regime collapsed.

Then we come to some more intelligence work, when the Nazis tested their V2 rockets, they fired them out over the Baltic sea. Some flew further than expected and landed in Sweden, Swedish intelligence collected the wreackage and sent it to the UK so they could study it.

At the last stages of the war, Sweden mounted a humanitarian operation and sent busses down to Germany to try and bring home Swedes, Norwegians and Danes from Nazi concentration camps, it was a huge humanitarian success, however it was tarnished by how it collaborated with the SS and used the busses to transport other prisoners between camps.

Then, let’s not forget the increadible work by Raoul Wallenberg who with extremely limited support from Sweden was able to rescue many jews from Hungary, using little more than forged documents and the Nazi’s belief in procedure and order.

I kinda feel bad for including this as this was an individual man’s effort, not the Swedish government’s effort, but I am including it as it affected the global opinion of Sweden.

Overall the Swedish reputation at the end of the war was heavily tarnished. It took a lot of work to rebuild our image.

One thing that I deliberately left out from the above list was the aid we gave to Finland when Soviet attacked, this was due to it not being an action against the Nazis. It was however a massive aid action which involved the entire country.

We gave up and sent over and entire airwing, 131000 rifles, 42 million rounds of ammunition, 100 anti-air guns, and thousands of voulenteers.

I hope this give a slightly better perspective on the times.

I sadly believe you are right, there is probably a clause in the contract between manufacturers and AI companies stating that the the chips can’t be used outside of their intended purpose.

I envision a possible similar situation as with HDDs after the Tsunami, if AI companies goes bust after chips has been manufacturerd, who will use them?

They are made for specs used in AI data centers, that doesn’t mean that they are good for general purpose.

I could see the stocks being sold for cheap to low cost memory module manufacturers, producing some weird and possibly failure prone memory modules.

I wasn’t able to find out conclusively, I found it on Wikipedia, with plenty of information about the photo, but only a year listed for when it was taken.

I just dug through this a bit more and found this photo taken between 1946-1950:

It shows the same signs and indicates that it was taken in the same time period.

I also found this image listed as being taken in 1944, this time by a museum collection:
