Who made the graphic?
Yes, but natural gas is a more potent greenhouse gas than co2 and there are continuous natural gas leaks. All the CO2 savings (vs coal) from each KwH of burned natural gas is completely negated by all the leaks on the way to the consumer. Note that most oil companies are very bad at reporting leaks, we basically have to measure them manually from satellites to know about them.
Never said electrification was a bad thing, just natural gas. Instead of building new natural gas plants and patting ourselves on the back for it not being coal, we should just build more renewables.
Natural gas electricity contributes more greenhouse gasses per kwh than coal though. The PRC also has lower co2 emissions per capita.
35% Tarriffs on eu/Asia and 104% Tarriffs on China is still a recession. Other countries arent removing their Tarriffs
The only positive thing this did was show that Trump is weak, so hopefully he’ll stay at these rates and maybe he’ll be out by the end of the year
Tell Russia that, the EU never turned them off or stopped ordering. It was Russia who turned them off to try to bully the EU.
Sure, let’s start negotiations, you drop the tariffs while they’re ongoing.
It will never work because the US will want to slash labor unions and Europe wants better product standards, but we can call his bluff.
Or Vietnam or Philippines or Malaysia
There’s a legal process that they have to get right, the investigation only started last year.
Implying that Trump’s security team is at all competant
Theyre using signal instead of self-hosted in order to bypass FOIA laws. It’s pretty scummy.
Burden of proof is on Trump for that
Banned AI applications in the EU include:
- […]
- Real-time and remote biometric identification systems, such as facial recognition in public spaces
Hungary is about to walk into a lot of fines.
I’m talking about the situation in NATO up until now.
The fact that the US is refusing to support the rest of NATO definitely changes things. Europe likely does not have the capacity right now to assist in the Asia-Pacific. If we are talking strictly NATO ex US vs Russia, it is still uncomfortably close. Europe needs to increase defense spending.
The Trump regime currently has their sights on Canada and Greenland, so any defense against Trumpist imperialism will happen there as part of NATO, not the EU.
Trump State Department type discourse lol
Not sure if that’s true. China+Russia military spending is about on par with NATO when adjusted for PPP. If Europe and the US want to both be able to defend their respective backyards against imperialism, they need to expand their militaries.
From a geopolitics perspective, there are many ways to address “freeriding” in a defense alliance that don’t involve literally betraying the entire defense alliance.
2·7 months agoRegarding size, the steamdeck already has an M.2 for storage, and a CAMM2 module for ram would take about the same amount of space as a second M.2 drive. The only other major thing for repairability/upgradability would be less glue on the battery and threaded inserts, which doesn’t add size.
SteamOS is immutable, you always get the same update no matter what you were running before. I think the only files that can get out of sync are in your home folder.
Some industries are saying they are completely unviable around 40-60%. See the recent Gamers Nexus video about the computer hardware industry.
Some companies can survive 10-30% by cutting margins and passing to the consumer, but there are entire classes of product where demand will just evaporate if you raise prices 20-30%, especially budget and value products.
It’s impossible to reshore manufacturing to stop this too. Every single economist is saying that there is a 0% chance that the way Trump has weaponized tariffs will cause any meaningful production in the US. The only outcome from this is empty shelves and stagflation.
