Investment in clean energy will extend its lead over spending on fossil fuels in 2023, the International Energy Agency said on Thursday, with solar projects expected to outpace outlays on oil production for the first time. "We could both buy a Cadillac Escalade, you spending $60k and myself spending close to $90k that doesnt specifically mean I have better features. It could mean I am bad at negotiating costs." You're both bad. You bought a Cadillac!

Fossil fuels are on their way out. There is a paradigm shift however, that some areas are ignoring while others are dealing with.
Here's the shift:
Fossil fuels: Energy is stored in the fuel and the fuel consumed, releasing the energy, when needed.
Solar and Wind: Energy is created when the fuel is available. Created energy must be stored for later use when needed.

Solar and wind are capable of producing about 3% of our daily energy needs. What's going to replace fossil fuels?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Energy source transitions take time. We've been working to get off coal since the late 70s and coal is still 11% of the US energy generation. My post was to show that to take full advantage of solar and wind we need to invert our thinking about energy storage.

Handheld PCs always had a special place in my heart. Palm III was my first one, and a bit later I got my hands on a Sharp HC-4500. I was intrigued by the Yarh.io projects and early this year I considered buying a uConsole. The uConsole was supposed to be shipped in March, but currently it’s still pending. So with a bunch of ideas and motivation, I started my own handheld PC project: Decktility. A fantastic demonstration of how accessible all this stuff is these days.

Sorry but... if I didn't install a new windows until SP1... do you really think I am going to install a beta version of a linux distro that I never heard before?

I love this marketing speak. Notice that it doesn't actually offer a seamless and hassle-free computing experience, it just "aims" to offer it. Marketers are expert at implying things that are not true without actually saying them.

Several tech companies face a fresh problem after cutting jobs: their rating on Glassdoor nosedives. But there’s a way they manage to fix this. I show what companies are doing - and why. I treat Glassdoor reviews like Amazon reviews. Is this a valid review, or were you the problem all along? "My electric pepper grinder fell apart." Like, after you threw it against the wall?

I suppose that the option of "buying a whole bunch of good reviews from a foreign actor" would not fit in the article... would it?

I think rather than removing reviews, Glassdoor should allow the company to respond to them, similar to how Google does. It can lead to company reviews showing just how right the original review was.
For example, I posted a review of a restaurant on Google basically alerting people to the fact that the restaurant's "call ahead" feature doesn't do anything as you don't actually go on the seating wait list until you check in and then you're at the bottom of the list. I further went on and stated that my wife and I left the restaurant and went to another one where we were eating our dinner before we were notified our table was ready.
The response was a bot response along the lines of "How was your steak?"

Quote: Companies encouraging staff to leave more positive reviews is a common way to increase the score. Glassdoor itself naturally encourages companies to have more employees add reviews in order to combat negative reviews.
A previous employer tried having HR/senior management/their sycophants blast a bunch of vacuous rainbow and unicorn reviews while the company was in the middle of a salary freeze and undergoing about a 30% reduction in headcount over a year or year and a half due to not being able to win new contracts faster than old ones ended. The net result was regular workers grew more contemptuous of senior management and the rate of bad reviews from people unhappy that they or their friends were unemployed due to management incompetence surged to counter the BS and tank overall scores again.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Every time a new iPhone comes out, a team of technicians in the French city of Toulouse start to pull it apart. In the three years they’ve been doing this, they’ve found a device that’s gradually transforming into a fortress. Today’s iPhones are packed with parts that cannot be repaired or replaced by anyone other than an expensive Apple-accredited repair shop. And France doesn’t like that one bit. A few days ago I read articles saying that Apple is gaining significant market share because Apple phones are used longer, years longer, than Android phones. Now I'm reading that Apple makes their phones last shorter, by planning its obsolesence. I'm confused.

Good quality products is bad for business, people don't need to buy a new one so soon.
And since the "oh... a new shiny Apple has come" segment of the market starts to not buy each and every released device...
well, 2+2 = 4

Microsoft says a Chinese cyberespionage group it tracks as Volt Typhoon has been targeting critical infrastructure organizations across the United States, including Guam, an island hosting multiple military bases, since at least mid-2021. Remember, hacking is more than just a crime. It's a survival trait.
