Why is nobody making a response to the solar power video? I'm not even talking about the political part of it which is really obviously wrong and the lowest hanging fruit in the whole episode. This is /g/ so I am asking about the technical part of it.

The first and most basic question everyone should ask after the whole ordeal should be
>if true, why do countries still fight over oil

The EU built a shitload of wind and solar, billions upon billions were spent to ruin the landscapes of various countries and still can't cover even a quarter of its energy consumption with renewables not even mentioning that a huge part of that comes from hydro power which is something we had for eons and things like biofuels.
Still they shat their pants as nordstream got rekt and now in the end still buy russian oil and gas but in a different way so that they can pretend they're not.
Why is China still working on Belt & Road? Why are they importing oil?

The other part is that solar panels can't be that simple and cheap. Yes, it's 90% aluminium, but if I cast a bunch of aluminium parts into solar panel parts, I don't have a 90% efficient solar panel, I have a useless fucking alu frame. It isn't trivial to produce. They are cheap and make sense, but does the $7B of subsidies have to do something with it? What happens when that money stops dripping? What happens when everybody supposedly moves away from oil which is forced to pay eco taxes in various stages from extraction to the gas pump? Will solar be as profitable if it had to pay those taxes?

I mean, I don't have the numbers, but it's obvious this does not make sense in the big scheme of things.

So the srgument against solar failed and it devolved into arguing about the last psrt of the video.
ICE really does need to be abolished.

>>108113266
> we still use crude oil products for public engergy generation is because some people have invested their existences on it
No, we use it because it's the only viable source. The entire global economy is built around it and until something as cheap and readily available comes around it will continue to dominate. It literally is not any more complicated than that.

It is due to thermodynamics and a very limited number of options on the menu. Water just happens to be a very good thermal medium that can also work as a moderator for neutrons.

>>108113387
That makes me question: How far are bioplastics right now? How viable are they and how well can they be scaled up? This is besides the other products from refining light/heavy oil, since they're mostly used for combustibles from what I know.

no one worth a damn writes code from scratch anymore, get on with the times grandpa

Even if you buy several huge drives there's nothing much left to download compared to 15 years ago. I'm saying this as a person who's still seeding and sharing stuff since 2009. Torrent trackers, forums, personal websites with direct links are either shutting down or becoming ghost towns (yes even your beloved Rutracker because two biggest contributing countries are getting destroyed and depopulated), blogspots and file hosting services are totally dead, even p2p networks are dead (even soulseek is becoming a mere shadow of its former self not to mention scammers).

People who used to rip music and films from CDs, DVDs, VHS, crack licenced programs, games, OSs, create repacks, keygens, upload and share their files 24/7 are getting old and tired or worse - facing legal issues, their hardware is starting to fail because it has been running 24/7 for decades. Nobody is passing the torch to younger generation and everyone's getting used to live without a desktop, use subscription based services and products even if they're heavily censored and limited. Newer hard are much less reliable than the ones that were produced 20 years ago no to mention that all storage devices and other hardware are getting ridiculously expensive and companies are eager to price their consumers out of hardware ownership.

I'm not trying to discourage you, download everything while it's still possible, just bear in mind that most good stuff which was very easy to find some years ago is now lost without a trace, you're gonna have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find anything.

If somehow piracy is actually stopped there's still an incredible amount of physical media you can find secondhand for very cheap, at least in the US. You can even rip media for free by checking it out from your local library.
The only thing I've noticed that notably lacks in availability is drivers and software and documentation for obscure devices, especially older stuff that hasn't been sold since the early 2000s. I own packet radios I can't even find manuals for.

Any common sorting software, will place 3.6 as a higher number than 3.15
Because it is read as 3.60

60 > 15

Lmao.
Nobody was smart enough to future proof and released as version 3.06
So they could release 99 versions without any problem.

Because it's a one size fits all pc made for 400 different industrial applications and it's literally cheaper to have a bunch of overspecced systems than to do do development and testing for 5, let alone 50 different ones.

people will do this as soon as incompetent devs create tools that allow more people to easily build and configure them.

spending hours pouring over docs just to get something as simple as a reverse proxy functioning in the hellish swamp of docker containers every app creates is not something people should have to do.

expectations have shifted. if devs don't want to meet users where they are nothing will improve. that's just how it is.

Batteries aren't dense enough to last the time needed to make them useful . You'll an ICE engine to keep them going. The flip side is you'll need more efficient electronics to make those batteries go farther.

Just tested this as an alternative for Discord and have to say it's actually pretty good. Encrypted chats, voice and screen share with unlimited quality and bitrate and you can host your own server if you want. It's open source and partly compatible with Matrix (devs claim they are working on making it fully compatible). Why did nobody of you faggots mention this as a Discord alternative before? Fuck Element, Teamspeak will be my future Matrix client.

I tried it when they dropped the beta last fall. It doesn't have basic functionality like a server admin being able to delete chat messages, or those chat messages being stored server side. I honestly think the only reason teamspeak 6 hasn't taken off is because the devs or the company are being funded specifically not to. That is the only logical reason that explains the complete dumpster downfall of teamspeak

No, the reason all the top trackers are clammed up so tight is precisely because they're getting a slow and steady flow of experienced users from these pathways available to new users now. If those pathways dry up, the trackers will look for new ones. There will always be routes available.
