Oil companies will probably go the way of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, going broke. They’re continuing to invest heavily in oil infrastructure at a time when the market is shifting and even now there is a flattening of demand for oil products where EVs are becoming prevalent. The trend will start to hit profitability and they will most likely double down.

Definitely a worry, training young minds on BS.

Yep, I burnt an SD card out on a rig that I use as a home server. A real pain but I now have better backup.

As usual, the best way is to use something like Signal.

PI containers are great for home use where the usage is low to moderate. No battery to warp or destroy, small, lots of Linux potential. Really it’s just a small computer on your home network looking after stuff.

It’s a bit like “my kids will only eat chocolate” and the therapist’s response “where are they getting the chocolate from?”. If the kids are using VPNs then where are they getting the money for the VPN from? Is this parental consent?

Why wouldn’t you? Farage is provocative and says many untruths.

They actually have a problem with workers or the lack of them and they have invested heavily in robotics. They aren’t the China of the 70s and 90s. It’s really something that we need to face up to if we want to compete but our political class isn’t really ready for that sort of reality. Years behind because of smugness.

While they are subsidised, the Chinese are really good at low cost manufacturing. It’s not the cheap labour anymore but factory automation and robotics. They really outclass anyone else.

There was a lot of talk about his mental decline, so should anyone be surprised?

Nobody sane wants it but it only takes one to start a war.

What happens at work is work but at home there is always Linux and Libreoffice.

I was wondering and thought had a Renoir type feel. Thanks.

Looks like the US is not the country of choice anymore. Setting a profile to public means gets to see all those things you that may be embarrassing, career limiting, life threatening etc.

They are part of the climate change hoax, eliminating is necessary!

Definitely. It also means that lithium supply pressure reduces a bit.

The beginning of the move away from lithium. Technology is moving forward.

Protected by the rule of law maybe a better way to express it. The current holder of the office of President is destroyer of the rule of law.

The current mob seems have lost sight of the fact that citizens are supposed to belong in the USA and are protected by the constitution. The really interesting thing is how quickly all these public servants have accepted illegal orders.

Sounds like doomish stuff. We innovate all the time. If copper and lithium are short supply items then technology will morph to use something else.
