It’s a bit different in this case.
The responsibility of providing electricity falls onto the nearby power plant, which then also has to increase their production.
But the maker of the new electricity consumer does not need to pay for the capital or anything else really, apart from the electrical rates (and some minimal fixed rates) that they are using.
Some governments are coming up with interesting, seemingly effective regulations, though.
Yeah, just checked the 2 sites I use for computer components.
1 had no RAM listed.
The other had 32GB DDR4 at 2x the price and no 128GB kit (96 was the highest, 64 for DDR4)
Yeah, the main problems right now, seem to be electricity consumption, causing price hikes in surrounding areas.
Oh no.
So even if I manage to somehow get DDR4 for lower prices, I can’t expect the SK Hynix modules.
Guess it’s going to be a few more years before I can get a RAM upgrade, or maybe never at all.
It might end up being similar to how DDR3 ended up being more expensive than DDR4 for multiple years.
Guess I should have bought the 128GB 3600 kit earlier.
Are DDR4 also affected?
Perhaps some down’n’dasher that didn’t like your lack of respect for them.
Maybe someone who has been de-federated from my instance, considering I don’t see a downvote.
Although the encryption is a useful feature, I don’t really expect that from mail.
And if were doing internal communications with a company with that level of security and privacy requirement, I would be using their on-premises mail server.
I have been considering Proton, mostly. My main goal being, not randomly losing access to my mail account due to some AI bs.
Though I am not sure if they might end up requiring stuff like “Video ID”.
And if it comes to paying for a service, I will also start comparing it to the cost of a domain name and a static IPv6 address, because I already have plans to run a server.
I too need to clean and re-oil my chain.
I tried some grease last time and it seemed fine. Didn’t particularly feel any difference, except that it probably withstood the rain a little better.

So, can’t use that with Thunderbird, I suppose?
Well, at least the open source client would be useful.
Unfortunately, they do make little changes. The largely visible UI changes are there to hide those small little changes.
Changes that remove little features that nobody would notice immediately, until someone needs it and realises it’s gone, or someone wants it the first time and is unable to find it, later finding out in older forum posts, that it was actually there in earlier versions and worked perfectly.
These little features are the kinds that provide power to the user while not particularly making a big difference in the companies’ wallets.
If they really had a lot of Dev time and wanted to do something useful, they would have read wishlist reports from users for little additions that would help them. But that does not happen.
I understand this is not a “Dull Men’s” answer, but sometimes things need to be said. And this seemed like the correct point.
Guess I need to get off of GMail more urgently.
Mostly Mass Effect fans back then, I suppose.
I myself considered the idea kinda fun, with the cool graphics it was portrayed with, in the game trailers.
Even though I never ended up playing the game, that was probably one of the things that caused me to give a try to Google Assistant for a few hours, before I realised how it just wasn’t worth it.
And now they’ve got stuff with extremely high price/performance ratio, expecting people to find it desirable just because it is “fluent”.
I have enough experience listening to people who fluently speak information that they understand nothing of and don’t need a machine to do the same, just because it has a bigger dump of information and lower rational capabilities.
Oh that makes sense.
In a world where the number of digits between separators were standardised, I would know what the actual typo was, without this explanation.
But this is not that world.
I thing you got the comma separator wrong, considering they are in the US.

Wait, what?
Yeah, specially if it’s his WiFi they are using.
Even if they do end up busting the scammers, OP can expect being harassed and have some of his stuff confiscated for investigation.
The three-martini lunch is no longer common practice for several reasons; these include
the implementation of “fitness for duty” programs by numerous companies, the decreased tolerance of alcohol use,[4] a general decrease in available leisure time for business executives andan increase in the size of the martini
I would love to see a whole AI data-centre and its accompanying nuclear power plant get arrested.
Sadly I am not in a location where people just discard useful parts.
If I were to try buying 2nd hand here, I would most probably end up with stuff that has some or the other kind of of damage.
For instance, in one of the companies I worked at, their policy for getting rid of stuff was:
And the auctions occurred years later after much red tape…
Mostly bought by other companies, who get to do more red-tape stuff to buy it.
While on one hand, this is a good thing, reducing wastage, it also means that I have no way to get 2nd hand stuff for hobbyist usage.
In case we do get 2nd hand stuff, it is usually through a 2nd hand dealer, who then ends up with a higher asking price than what it’s worth.
Also, I am not expecting there to be any AI enthusiast nearby me.
