Moldoteck··on Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy
Because it isn't. EDF devt to EBITDA ratio is as healthy or healthier vs german eon/rwe. Debt is ok to have for big corpos, unless you think Apple is a failed company.

Over half of french fleet was already upgraded to have safety similar to gen3 reactors through great carenage.

France also set record production this summer vs prev ones

That's just a bullshit Statement considering all german plants except experimental or soviet units are decommissioned on operator money.

Costs are accounted and in some cases you have even price breakdown https://www.kkg.ch/de/uns/geschaefts-nachhaltigkeitsberichte...

Moldoteck··on Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy
And you're basically telling bullshit. French nuclear is profitable and made profits pretty much every single yearexcept 2022. Swiss data is open too https://www.kkg.ch/de/uns/geschaefts-nachhaltigkeitsberichte...

Such statements can come either from ignorance or malice

Why not subsidizing? What's the problem with that considering both renewables and fossils are subsidized?

Most sound smr is Canadian BWRX which is already under construction

Moldoteck··on Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy
No, it's included and is dirt cheap. German nuclear provided for about 5ct/kwh, similar to Switzerland https://www.kkg.ch/de/uns/geschaefts-nachhaltigkeitsberichte... or other countries.

In Germany liability was covering 2.5bn+ full assets of owners. I still find it funny how germans are concerned about nuclear when each 2y the same nr of ppl die as total estimation for Chernobyl (if we assume LNT is correct at low dosages). Yet nobody demands full cars ban. Even funnier considering Germany is still burning coal and approved subsidies for new gas peakers

Moldoteck··on Minimal Phone 2
I don't like website interfaces. Good to have them, but apps are more convenient
Moldoteck··on Minimal Phone 2
probably because in these days it's hard to get by without some apps like maps, common messengers, delivery, bank transactions and so on
Moldoteck··on LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices
Oh they can. They can offer profiling local servers/software for most important websites which, after profiling will request from google the specific ad category
Moldoteck··on Switzerland's Federal Government Is Replacing Microsoft on 3k Computers
Functionality is much more limited, more lags and necessity to always have internet connection
Moldoteck··on Switzerland's Federal Government Is Replacing Microsoft on 3k Computers
Try saying that to the govt when they send some documents to your university that must be filled by several ppl and suddenly content isn't alligned anymore as it originally was.
Moldoteck··on Switzerland's Federal Government Is Replacing Microsoft on 3k Computers
The thing is, it needs to be 1:1.

This will be fixed only by a govt push to do full replacement for all doc sharing at all levels, especially schools. But since in this country office is mostly pirated anyway, it's not such a big push

Moldoteck··on Switzerland's Federal Government Is Replacing Microsoft on 3k Computers
Tbh the only reason I can't put an ubuntu for my parents/grandparents is Microsoft office.

Libre is generally ok, but they deal with lots of documents from different ppl/orgs that just need to have similar rendering. Windows is so bloated it's insane

Moldoteck··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
If humidity is high, you'll not cool down even if ambient temp is below body's. Needless to say, living with 30dg ambient temp inside the house is a misery
Moldoteck··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
This is not propaganda what a nonsense. The fact that more ppl die from cold is not an argument against using ACs. It's an argument to have hvacs to get proper electrified cooling and heating
Moldoteck··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
Case closed that europe got tens of thousands excess deaths from heatwaves?
Moldoteck··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
I'm still brothered by climate change every time i get out of my apartment. I still don't want to feel miserable during heatwave. This argument is utter nonsense considering most of Europe has summer clean electric overcapacity. It's even more nonsensical in case of hvacs because it leads to pollution reduction by replacing gas heating
Moldoteck··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
Most of the grid is built for winter. Summer has huge overcapacity. That's also why France exported every single day and hour this summer despite all the stories of shut down nuclear plants

Europe had tens of thousands of excess deaths from heatwaves this year. It's not about american think tank but basic will to avoid suffering

Moldoteck··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
Acs are not that expensive. The problem is getting approval
Moldoteck··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
Hearing that ac at home is a luxury in France when piss poor romania/moldova do install them left and right sounds borderline satirical. Ffs an ac is not that expensive. And running it is not that expensive, especially with french nuclear
Moldoteck··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
During recent heatwaves ceiling fans will still not help you. They'll help with ac efficiency but you'll still feel miserable
Moldoteck··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
During heatwaves the fan is no longer sufficient. It can improve ac cold air spreading though. A fan alone will not help you when your walls are warm and when even at night outside temp is above 20dg and humidity is high
Moldoteck··on Pixel Watch 5
Oh, for sure, but Garmin's watches do operate under a different principle. They got a lot of SOC's doing specific tasks more efficiently vs software and their OS is more limited in terms of apps. Android/Apple watches are more like miniaturized smartphones. To each their own. The only reason I don't wear a garmin is that the interface navigation is much less intuitive vs my pebble
Moldoteck··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
trump is just a reflection of voters. He'll be out but another one will come, be it vance, be it rubio, be it even jo rogan. The overall direction of american society wishes is clear
Moldoteck··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
because the next one might be vance? and vance again? and afterwards another similar rep?

EU should really have a plan to ditch US collective monopoly in all sectors, especially tech. Just like China we should have our own payment systems, mobile OS-es with mandatory bank support, own app stores, own cloud systems and so on... Call it gaulism or any other catchy phrase but US leverage should be reduced to minimum - EU should be able to threaten US with full ban on a subset of it's companies/trade. Now such thing is plain impossible to imagine

Moldoteck··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
ability to sideload would help greatly
Moldoteck··on Pixel Watch 5
You can get a forerunner that can also last many days and MIP display and it'll cost about the same. Now the question is rather what platform you like. I find PT2 Ui much more intuitive
Moldoteck··on Pixel Watch 5
fenix is huge so it's understandable
Moldoteck··on Pixel Watch 5
i own PT2 due to buttons but charging thing is not such a problem considering i take it off before the shower
Moldoteck··on Deutsche Bank becomes first foreign yuan clearing bank in Europe
US dollar value was held by several pillars, among which- pax americana, petro dollar/assets and innovation sector. Pax americana is dismantled by US itself. Petro chemicals are threatened by ren transition and China. Tech sector still ensures having a lead in innovations. Guess what'll happen when/if pax americana will be fully dead, most important economies like EU/China/India will be able to supply own needs with less petrol products since the rest will com from ren and when/if tech AI pops/turns into a fiasco. Nothing lasts forever and US dollar is no exception
Moldoteck··on What Ozempic does to the gut-brain axis
The gamble is not taking it for overweight ppl that hope the consequences of being overweight/obese are less bad than theoretical consequences of glp1
