Comment Re:Sure, do this instead of better tech (Score 1) 69

Given I haven't used Firefox for that long now, do they finally have the ability to select input and output devices for audio?

I use speakers for normal audio, but Teams / Discord etc on a headset only.

Yet the feature request to be able to select audio streams has been around for at least a decade and never implemented... I gave up caring in waiting for an outbreak of common sense - but you wanted to know what 'tech' is missing...

This is what the numbers look like:

Sadly, it seems the quality of Fedora is going down the gurgler too.

If they ever finish debian to use a single init system and actually have some consistency, it'd be soooo much nicer to use. I've been saying that the last 5-6 versions though.

That's the problem with debian - there's no central leadership for anything - so it only really seems to get 80% of the way there. If they could just get that extra 20% completed, it'd be a complete, hands-down, no brainer to use for just about everything.

Except you're just wrong.

By the time you deploy enough solar and wind to charge the batteries *as well as* supply the load while the batteries charge, you're deploying ~6-10x your required load in watts. Add to that the MWh required (remember, power vs capacity), and you'll also need 3-4x the amount of storage as your daily usage - most of the time, that will be idle and unused.

Capacity factor in renewables still isn't anywhere near traditional generation - whatever type you compare it to. Nuclear is normally north of 93%, solar and wind still sits around 25-30% in most deployments.
