Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed!
  • Could country A try to decrease exports to country B and increase exports to country C, D, and E, perhaps by lowering the cost in C, D, and E?

    I don't have any evidence for, and this document is just too long for me to read at this late hour. [IMF - Macroeconomic Consequences of Tariffs](Macroeconomic Consequences of Tariffs. https://www.imf.org/-/media/Files/Publications/WP/2019/wp1909.ashx)

  • Apple stuck the Mac mini power button on the bottom
  • There's a good reason in the the first sentence of the review.

    Don't expect to fit the new M4 Mac mini into too tight a space because you're going to have to tip it to reach underneath every time you need to switch it on.

    I don't know if Mac minis have an environmentally friendly hibernate mode for those who can't shutdown their pcs.

    Negative European energy prices hit record levels. Renewable energy isn't great for producers!

    on.ft.com Negative European energy prices hit record level

    Rapid rollout of solar and wind generation has outpaced ability to store power

    Negative European energy prices hit record level

    > While beneficial to consumers who are able to take advantage, for example by charging an electric car or running appliances, it also threatens to undermine the viability of Europe's renewable energy projects, which are critical to hitting net zero targets.

    > "It's akin to a hara-kiri," said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at Swedish lender SEB "Everyone knows that if you produce too much oil, the price will crash and producers lose money. And there's nothing different in renewable energy and power either."

    I almost can't believe the absolute shitiness of this. I suppose the implication is why would producers build power stations (no doubt with govt. subsidises!) if they can't make a profit!

    I'm all for conservation, but I really have mixed feelings on this one

    The Fen Raft Spider is roughly the size of an adult male’s hand, and can spin webs as big as pizzas (25cm).

    They are also semi-aquatic and can run across the water’s surface to capture their prey.

    Steam Deck Won’t Survive 2025 Without A Significant Upgrade. - (Original clickbait headline and not my opinion!)

    I personally have a huge backlog of games I'm happily playing through on the deck. And, having been burnt a few times (Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky ..), I very rarely buy new full priced games anyway (better to wait for a discount and some patches!)

    But according to this rather clickbate article ...

    > In the last month alone, we’ve seen three disappointing examples of games that are too demanding for the Deck. Star Wars Outlaws is unplayable on Low settings, even with FSR set to “Ultra Performance.” Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can’t reach a steady 30fps at the lowest quality setting. And based on the demo, Final Fantasy 16 is unplayable without FSR and Frame Generation, and afflicted with stuttering and horrible frame pacing with those scaling features enabled.

    I don't remember this scene from Indiana Jones

    I'm not sure I remember the part where Indy is buried chest deep in sand with one fist defiantly raised ... It looks more like a character model glitched under the map!

    Shareholders want those regular subscription fees rolling in.
