I would of if there was a family tier that plays YouTube without ads in my country. The content I watch is good and authors deserve payment IMO. Sadly there is currently no competition, there are some marginal subscription services and there is peertube which doesn’t have monetization.
There is another benefit - it can be played in the background if I remember properly.
Whatever happened to 24 hrs even before he’s ejected elected (lol typo)…
Funny how such companies don’t care that employees would be more effective with better tools and those license prices would result in way over $20/month profit. 🤷♂️
Core development tools licenses are too expensive? That’s an odd company or from a very low standard country?
Demands such as adhere to international law? How dare they!
Nice try, Putin.
Totally not meddling into foreign countries
Any disk can and will fail at some point in time. Backup is your best friend. Some sort of disk redundancy is your second best friend.
I see that Orange’s deal making and negotiations are doing wonders.
Yep and they are doing it all over Europe. Europe, specially EU, should consider them hostile for elections interference. And I’m sure this went on on lower levels as well even before this obvious interference. Yet, nobody bats an eye 🤷♂️
Yep, gas is a good climate warming enabler. Which we want to avoid since we are fighting climate warming - funny eh, that renewables instead of nuclear causes more gas/coal being burned.
As for batteries, perhaps, but today we don’t have any of those at scale required. And while houses could get off grid today with li-ion batteries where lithium is not infinite (nor are rare earths required), it doesn’t solve cities and industry or energy storage at scale. Plus those batteries tend to catch fire which is hard to extinguish. Water based storage is limited by geography. And so on.
Nuclear doesn’t make sense for that purpose because it’d have to quickly be able to spin up and down. Most reactor designs aren’t really able to do it quickly in normal operations, and those that can can’t do so in a way that makes any economic sense. They’re financially outcompeted by their alternatives.
Yes, you are right about nuclear output flexibility. Their purpose is to provide stable output, not chime in when required - and that’s the problem with renewables - there is no good solution to compensate when they are not producing. Feel free to list those alternative reliable solutions.
Storage is the solution, which we can build today in a viable way and is rapidly becoming cheaper and cheaper.
And I have yet to see real energy storage data. All I read is just “energy storage is the solution (which, of course, it is, someday)” yadda yadda. So, numbers, please.
Nope, today nuclear actually makes sense. Renewables are cool and relatively cheap but only as long as they output power. Then what? Spin up that coal power plant such as during night? And produce a ton of climate warming co2 and a lot of pollution. The problem is that we don’t have energy storage nor a viable solution for it. Said that, cutting corners is a big no-no.
Yes, sure, I just don’t want to watch ads. There is really too much of them
