Nah, lasers too big. It would be a simple birdshot shotgun. Its detection and aiming.
When they are high up, they can be hard to spot and hear.
But a pair of sensitive mic's and a camera designed to look for them could easily be paired with some AR glasses.
I bought my 3080 back in 2020, because I knew AI was the future of graphics, based on all the R&D and white papers nVidia was pumping out up to that point.
No regrets.
Not my problem nVidia was the only one to invest in the tech, while AMD relied solely on TSMC to shrink their dies.
It has nothing to do with brand loyalty or fanboys or any of that shit.

We'll stick here and wait it out, and see if it becomes more stable.
Still no talk from Ernest about expanding out a team for something as big as kbin.
First, I think Ernest has done a fantastic job and I've been rooting for him this whole time. But it's becoming clear it's all too much for him without the support of a larger team....
Hydrogen derived from natural gas can not be used in fuel cells. Only hydrolysis hydrogen is viable.
It is one of 'many' reasons why hydrogen fuel will never be a thing.
Along with Hydrogen seeping through everything
Along with Hydrogen embrittlement
The energy efficiency loss to convert Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Hydrogen -> Mechanical or Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Hydrogen -> Electrical -> Mechanical
Will never be cost effective compared to Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Electrical(batt) -> Mechanical
Hydrogen has been known to man for a 1000 years, and yet
Gobal International WARS have been fought in the past century along with massive geopolitical maneuvering and trillions upon trillions of $$$ spent on the energy sector.
Do you really thing we'd be spending the $$$ we do for deep sea drilling if hydrogen was even close to being a viable resource?
No new technology has been developed that makes hydrogen useful. No. Fuel Cells are not it.
There just isn't enough energy gained by connecting Hydrogen -> Oxygen no matter what process you come up with.
Unless we find a way to fuse hydrogen together, hydrogen is a dead end and always has been.

They did a study, couldn't decide which system was better, didn't think they could get the provinces on board with it (which is probably right), so they scraped it.
Truth is, any of the proposed systems (while not perfect) is still better than FPTP
If Obama's handling of Guantanamo not closing and the drone striking of Somalia and Yemen didn't stop his second term.
I can't see how Gaza's situation will affect Biden's.
Truth is, most of your population doesn't even pay attention to the details of news, unless it's something to do with Kardashian's or Taylor Swift.

Fox news told him black-voters like him because of this golden sneakers..
So in his brain right now, he thinks black-voters like him,
Thinking why that is, he knows black people historically were treated unfair by the court system, and apparently he is too,
So he thinks himself a genius with smart gene's that he linked those two thoughts together, and thinks that's another reason why black-voters must like him.
He's been spitting out everything he can hoping some victimization will stick... Jew prosecution, Navalny, etc. Dude's a moron, and I still can't believe there are people dumb enough to be fooled by such low effort manipulation.

Yeah, and in the UK I noticed that tax is included on the listed price as well. So again, no surprises for people when they check out, and don't need to do the math to account for the extra tax.
