According to the article new builds still can't use gas boilers so I suppose there is that. Dealing with our existing housing stock is going to be a challenge though. Although I plan to eventually replace the gas boiler I'm not sure what with yet. I don't think air source heat pumps will be able to warm my stone build Victorian house.

I've been using https://containertoolbx.org/ recently to manage my "other distro" requirements. It doesn't do anything special but works nicely as a wrapper around podman and does all the bind mounts and uid mappings so you can just enter your $HOME as though you have set up your account in a new OS.

I don't know if the Culture is filmable? Having said that I think they said the same of things like Dune so maybe?

Whatever time I'd get by tuning my start-up would be dwarfed by the BIOS and grub startup dance. I only really reboot when I need to test a kernel.

I fancy a bit of Star Trek but it doesn't look like I have long to wait.

Yep I've been a happy Antenna Pod user for years. A double tap of my headphones skips 30s forward, triple 10s back and makes skipping past the ads easy.

Have you ever passed a Geiger counter over it?

Also the PFN page locking patches so device memory can be reliably shared with VMs (used for some of the virtio-gpu modes).

One of the most interesting applications of AI I've seen for film recently is the ability to re-dub actors with their own voice in different languages while maintaining lip synch. That's something that could have a positive effect on accessibility to the medium without the language barrier.

One big difference is the US is one of the few countries that doesn't have a strong data privacy tradition. As a result you get ad-hoc bans on individual companies rather than holding all companies liable for mismanagement of user data. How does TikTok satisfy the UK data protection people that user data is correctly managed.

That was a trip down memory lane. I think a lot of the engineers that worked at Transmeta ended up in places like Intel (and maybe Apple?) which tracks with them being an early pioneer in managing power envelopes.
