What about the people who already have many computers for other purposes, and they just don’t feel like using the gaming machine for any of the purposes. What if they already get to tinker and tweak the other computers to such an extent that there’s no need for them to do any of that with the gaming system.
Yeah, that was just badly worded. Didn’t really think it through either. Let me clarify.
You don’t want to spin the wheel too fast, because that’s going to make people sick. To get around that problem, you need to compensate by making the wheel bigger. More specifically, it should be hundreds of meters in diameter. That means it’s going to require a lot of construction materials, and that gets really expensive to build and even more expensive to deliver.
Normally, space things are built to be as light as possible. Building stuff out of thin aluminium, magnesium, titanium and carbon fiber just won’t be good enough unless you make those structures thicker. The materials are good enough though. If you could launch stuff up there for free, you might as well use steel cables and they would be strong enough.
Nevertheless, it’s still a pressurised donut, and that puts a lot of stress on all the parts, which means you can’t build it out of paper thin titanium. The rotation is totally fine by comparison, since that doesn’t add too much to the stresses.
Yep. This spaceship is just great. Comes with radiation shielding, gravity, water, food, breathable air etc. Just remember to bring a star with you, because the ship requires an external power source to keep life support running.
There are ways to cheat though. For example, spinning things can produce the sensation of being in gravity. Spinning stations would face immense tension forces, which make it difficult to find suitable materials to build them out of. Also, those materials need to be lifted up to orbit, so heavy materials won’t do.

Another option would be constant acceleration, like in The Expanse. Definitely not a very viable option right now as modern rocket fuels still suck. It could take a while to fix this one.
If you want to be extra cheesy, you just have to make your space station as massive as the Earth, and you’ll get plenty enough gravity. There’s an even cheesier shortcut. Just start calling earth your new space station.
Sounds good to me. In this case, 4 flexible hours of work in the summer means about 6 fixed length hours. In the winter those 4 flexible hours translate to about 2 fixed length hours, so I think I’ll have plenty of time for my hobbies.
An 8 h work day during the winter flies by, but the lunch hour is only long enough for one bite sandwich. On the other hand, 12 h of night is plenty enough for all my hobbies.
In the summer, work devours your entire life and there’s hardly any time to sleep.
It’s a CPU thing. Most games tend to require lots of GPU and very little CPU. Compiling shaders during runtime is usually fine.
I think mine was on by default. It maxes out the CPU for several seconds.
You’ll need some climbing equipment if you need to tighten some screws or connect wires. How often do you think it would be necessary?
Dangers like that can be identified quite easily. It’s a qualitative thing, and qualitative chemistry is pretty robust. For instance, we can say that there’s a risk that a particular reaction will produce hydrogen under specific circumstances. We’ll just build the plant accordingly instead of trusting that we can always operate the plant correctly. Sooner or later, you’ll end up running the plant in the wrong way, and you’ll produce some hydrogen, so it’s good to have a plant that can detect and deal with it safely.
However, usually the idea is to produce something entirely different, and do so efficiently. Those sorts of questions are quantitative, and that’s where things can and will go wrong all the time. Like, how do you ensure that your expensive catalyst isn’t covered in goo, or corrosion doesn’t eat your fancy impeller? How do you ensure that the amount of impurities in the product will remain reasonably low? It’s all about the quantities and reaction rates, and that’s the hard part with inorganic chemistry.
Inorganic chemistry is fairly simple and fun as long as you keep it in the lab. Industrial-scale inorganic chemistry gets ridiculously complicated because all the reactants and products are complicated and messy. Also, a large reactor will have all sorts of gradients, which means that the reactions take place in unfavourable conditions all the time. None of it is ideal, and none of it follows simplified laws or rules very well.
Sure, we have all sorts of fancy calculations, but none of them predict very accurately what’s going to happen and when. Even the best models and theories give approximate and crude answers when you’re dealing with messy industrial-scale chemistry.
Models give you a rough idea, lab experiments give you a decent idea, but running the process at full scale is the only way to find out exactly how those reactions really work in real life.
Turns out, our theories are too simple to handle complicated solutions. They can predict the behaviour of simple solutions very well, but that’s not good enough. In real life, you rarely have well behaved clean reagents.
There’s also an anti-warning. According to this sales pitch, I should book this vacation if I want to see tornados.
Why do you ask? Did you find something interesting?
Oh wow! So charging 1500€ for mid tier performance will end up being a good deal? People are calling the steam machine overpriced and dead on arrival, but what if all the other manufacturers end up following in Steam’s footsteps?
Well, I guess Valve will have to wait for the AI bubble to pop before chip manufacturers have the spare capability for small clients like Valve. Before that, don’t expect any big changes.
Actually already found out a reasonable candidate. Someone else pointed out that ti-me in Japanese is a slur.
But what’s the slur they’re hunting if they catch “time”? Is it tim, ime, ti, me or something else?
Hard to tell. However, I can tell you that I don’t miss my 4060 at all. My current AMD card works flawlessly in Bazzite. Didn’t need to figure out any workarounds, trickery or hackery.
Alternatively, you could always use the unstoppable plug and immovable socket, AKA the paradoxical connector.
