Agreed. I think TfL actually has begun looking into it but it’ll probably take years before the temperature is going to drop.
Agreed, but here it is done highly effective. The 1.8 degree temperature difference is a huge plus too - they can now also save serious amounts of power on ventilation.
TfL, you listening?
People ate referring to the 80s movie “The Thing” where a creature is dug up from under the Antarctic ice, and it turns out to be a shapeshifting carnivore.

The D is strong in this one
This could very well be, interesting hypothesis
This is to blame on solar panels. Modern ones are very black, i.e. a serious lack of light, creating a photonic imbalance that forces light upwards, where gravitational clustering creates an illusion of a burning spherical object.
If you are in doubt about this, check old photos- there’s no picture of the sun before the invention of solar panels. Same goes for paintings, although really old ones have a sort of symbolic sun-like object, which may be caused by the solar panels on visiting aliens’ starships (ref. Von Dänicken, 1968).
This is solid science. 10/10 would smoke again.
Goodness, painting rooftops white? They ‘ll be grey in a week or so.
You could plant fucking trees for even less heat and an overall better climate! Also, add solar panels - albedo might not be as good, but you have clean energy for trams, trains and trolley buses - instead of all polluting traffic that also heat up the city.
You mean Mike Diva’s?

In those days, PCs came with a crate of snall black connectors called jumpers, that you had to place in specific ways to arrange your IRQs and more.
Mainboard and BIOS settings were also not always configured with sane defaults, so it could be quite the puzzle.
This is the best answer. Torrents / possibly illegal downloads are a big no-no in many countries, if you’re truly a movie addict: buy a portable dvd drive and a bunch of movies (2nd hand can be very cheap nowadays). Additional advantage: internet access is still not very good in many places. On VPNs: there are several options, a commercial one like Nord, your company’s (never, ever torrent over your company networks!) or a self hosted. My home router can run ipsec and wireguard services, yours possibly too. DO REMEMBER: VPN traffic is very recognisable, if the local ISP thinks it’s sus, questions may be asked; better be careful.
Exactly. There’s a reason no insurance company wants to take on nuclear power plants and countries have to.
In all the famous cases, Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island, and Sellafield, it was close enough to a real disaster. Sure, only some people died, some more got radiation poisoning, cancer, even more lost their pets, their homes, their livelihoods, quite some animals died… thank god that’s “low on the harmless scale”.
Now you’re just insulting actual apes
Man, what a disappointing article, I remember El Reg for being real sharp journalism, not a partner page piece of crap.
Take this revolting example:
Many of these PCs were bought during COVID and now we are four [or] five years after they were bought and they will have to be replaced.
Have to be replaced? Just for being 4 years old? Aside from the environmental impact, and aside from W11 being more shit than diarrhoea from a ceiling fan: these PCs work perfectly fine. For both my enterprise and entertainment purposes. New mainboards wouldn’t add much, and neither would W11, which biggest novelties are a broken control panel, a misplaced start menu and - for additional money - an unneeded and immature “AI” that will basically target me ads.
Were you on a free plan? Because csv export normally works fine.
I am not sure if Martin would appreciate his name this clear on the lemmyverse.
Don’t need to, you can start with RIP
