Germany's nuclear plants were EOL and couldn't be extended without constant heavy monitoring. The reactor vessels were fucked, to use the technical term.
Email is okay for smaller files, but often there is a fairly low attachment size limit. With modern phones that have high pixel count cameras, and with movies, you quickly run into those limits.
I have this issue as my wife has an iPhone. She does at least have Google Photos, so most of the sharing is done that way.
Look at China, the world's second largest economy, with per capita emissions way below the US and Europe.
The reason their emissions have peaked is not nuclear, it's renewables displacing coal.
Coal is cheap and can often be mined domestically. The plants are simple and cheap, and can be built by domestic firms using domestic technology.
The only real way to beat it is cheaper renewables, but it would really help if we shared some tech so developing nations could manufacture some of it locally.
Their energy bill seems to be enough of a concern to piss money away on fusion startups.
I bet the same was said about stable hands.
It's just the UK sheepishly following the EU, making sure we don't miss out on the benefits they are seeing. Post Brexit we are not a major player or able to demand this stuff independently. It's just our way of pretending we are, while actually just doing what the EU decides.
Do they really fully account for the waste though? Promises were made but not kept. Look at the UK, the taxpayer and the bill payer are on the hook for it most of the time.
If you look at which countries are using more coal, it's the ones where nuclear isn't a viable option. It's too expensive, it would take too long to build, and there are geo-political problems.
These are developing nations, and telling them "just put growth on hold for 20 years while you develop a nuclear industry and build the first plan" isn't going to work.
Many of them do have excellent renewable resources, but need help and encouragement to exploit them. Once those are in place the floodgates open like they have in China.
I think most of the money went to JLR's suppliers. JLR stopped buying parts while their factory was idle, and they were the key customer for some suppliers who suddenly had no orders coming in.
For gaming it might be better to look at head tracking. Okay you don't get the stereoscopic 3D effect, but it's much lighter on your GPU, and much more comfortable.
Basically tracks the direction you are looking in and turns your in-game head by an exaggerated amount to match. Good for things like flight sims where you need to look around you. You get used to it pretty quickly.
This will help them flush out any x86 specific code in preparation for migration to RISC-V, if and when the time comes. It will probably be a long way off though, because right now RISC-V is not getting the amount of investment it needs to be competitive with ARM in terms of performance. Both raw compute performance, and compute per watt.
Beware these big tech companies, especially when they are on a hiring frenzy. It's almost always a bubble, and you can only expect to be there for a few years maximum. Plan your exit strategy before the big layoffs come.
The new one is Android I think, the old one was I believe Windows CE. Keep in mind that this goes back as far as 2001, when Linux for embedded wasn't really an option.
Put no trust in cryptic comments.
