Also need to

Either figure how to make batteries easier to recycle or how to economically recycle them.

Rather small

It is initially integrating 6 MW of its UPS capacity into the program.

I assume that should be 6 MWh (MW is power rather than capacity).

Given that https://www.eirgrid.ie/news/ireland-records-new-record-peaks-electricity-demand-due-cold-weather at 5577 megawatts (MW).

Not doing much in of itself but it could be a start.

Brick

Expensive brick sold by an expensive pr**k.

Puzzled

That this was not always the case, also if it was not going to come down then there should be a plan to park it safely too.

Smart meters

So good they are worth buying two or even three times.

Rather late

The adverts or pay model has been going on for years.

Plus "The EU's Data Protection Board (EDPB) has told large online platforms" does not mean Meta!!

Surprised

That they gave Amazon credit rather than Temu credit given how hard Temu is advertised.

Aiming to be a number two

Is just sitting down and setting yourself up to fail.

Renewal

It happen to the surprise of no one.

Can you

Over clock AI chips to get back some performance?

I wonder

What the power usage is like?

Expensive

Given how much they have rolled out that is going to get quite expensive. I hope the next chip are more energy efficient or this is just going to add to the power the networks use.

Edit: Not going to hurt Intel and AMD they have already sold the kit and I do not think they are going to give a refund :o

Poor TSMC in 2023

In a statement, TSMC said it recorded about NT$838.50 billion (US$26.53 billion) in net profit last year, an annual drop of 17.5 percent, while its earnings per share was NT$32.34, compared with NT$39.20 a year earlier.

TSMC's gross margin -- the difference between revenue and the cost of goods sold -- fell 5.2 percentage points in 2023 from a year earlier to 54.4 percent, with its consolidated sales showing a 4.5 percent annual decline to NT$2.16 trillion.

In the fourth quarter of last year earlier to 54.4 percent, with its consolidated sales showing a 4.5 percent annual decline to NT$2.16 trillion.

Hard to feel sympathy for them when they are making so much.

WoW

This expected demand is already pushing up the price of DRAM, and SSD prices could jump 50 percent this year, according to some estimates.

Not that long ago prices where going to fall by quite a bit. That did not last long or did it even happen much at all?

Or

It may not!

Not wanting windows 11

Or just not wanting to replace a perfectly good PC which does not meet the requirements for windows 11?

The leaked files include scans of residents' identification documents such as passports and driving licenses, bank statements, and various official council forms for matters regarding rent, social housing, and more.

Once the documents have been used to prove identification why are the kept. If they must be kept why are they kept online?

4 Billion to "vote"

I wonder how many of them have a meaningful choice at the ballot box?

I wonder

If they can use the fine to offset their profits and so pay less tax?

Not something new

May be the head of the grid should have planned for this rather than complain about it not being planned for?

Space Gravy

In space no one can hear you slurping on the gravy train.

Smart Poles

Do they import them from Poland?
