doener··on Solar is winning the energy race
I think the key is to combine it with a strong, digitalized grid and a lot of BESS—a technology which is now getting progressively cheaper, just like PV.

https://about.bnef.com/insights/clean-transport/new-record-l...

I believe it is realistic to expect that, in combination with other renewable energy sources such as wind (which, for example, generates more energy at night than during the day), biomass, and hydropower—along with the high level of grid integration currently taking place in Europe—the share of renewable energy could reach 100 percent in 10 or 15 years. Provided there is the political will to do so.

doener··on Rapprochement between Hyperion and Amiga; OS 3.2 available again
Discussion over at Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/amiga/comments/1s28uiu/rapprochemen...
doener··on Rapprochement between Hyperion and Amiga; OS 3.2 available again
"Following positive developments concerning Hyperion Entertainment, progress has been made in narrowing a number of issues.

Going forward, Amiga Corporation is Hyperion Entertainment CVBA's licensor under the existing 2009 Settlement Agreement. The chapter involving Cloanto, ITEC, Amino and KMOS has been closed. On that basis, Amiga and Hyperion Entertainment are engaged in renewed settlement discussions.

It is also agreed that Retro Games may release certain Amiga-branded products, and that Hyperion Entertainment may offer "AmigaOS 3.2" digital upgrades under a temporary arrangement intended to preserve continuity for the community while those discussions continue.

Since 1985, Amiga has held an enduring place in computing history. Amiga Corporation remains committed to the preservation, stewardship and continued development of that legacy."

Recessions without an external shock are rare. But you could say the rest of the economy is in stagnation. I‘m expecting real recession as soon as the LLM bubble begins to burst.

According to the official Terms of Service for account registration, there is only one age requirement: "You must be at least 16 years old or have reached the minimum age applicable in your country in order to legally consent to the processing of personal data."

The wording "in your country" already indicates that the offer is also aimed at users outside the European Union.
