Or if you want to spend the 20+k you can buy from the manufacturer.

Oh power usage… that depends how much you need to cool down, and what setup you have. But usually they’re 3 phase and lots of amps…

That can be done, just takes a more expensive Platten motor, and some more code in the control unit.

You can get “freezers” that will put part of their inside down to 250+c below their surroundings. (Helium cryocoolers)

If you’re very careful you can remove heat with electromagnetic energy.

Think of heat like someone on a rope swing, and electromagnetic energy as a push.

If you time, and angle your pushes very carefully you can slow the person on the swing. But it’s much easier to speed them up. Same with electromagnetic energy.

It could easily be done, but would only work if: you don’t stop the cycle manually by opening the door, or you are ok with the microwave quickly spinning your food (or liquid filled cup) to the starting position as soon as you do open the door.

Consentually… Sounds like a great way for a corporation to groom individuals into people who accept less than a liveable wage.

I don’t see anything that helps capitalism being done “responsibly”. It’s all done in the pursuit of all the money, and as soon as possible. Only rule is don’t break laws that have consequences higher than the profits gained.

German language is just older, not necessarily dumber.

I personally see it as more intelligent language, as it’s got rules that it follows, instead of the always sometimes but never not rules of English.

Eventually nobody.

Capitalism isn’t about sustainability, it’s about making the most amount of profit in the shortest amount of time.

Eventuall you bleed everyone dry and nobody has a job. But for a short amount of time the shareholders will have had a huge number of 0’s and 1’s in a database somewhere equating to their “worth”

Self fulfilling prophesy that works to generate more profit for the company.

But they are allowed to lie to you, and allowed to pull you over for perceived infractions. So, yes they can pull you over for “nothing”.

Why would those in power fix it? they are benefiting from the police keeping those with power in power. This way those in power don’t even have to pay the bonus they provide to the police.

It’s very possibly a policeman writing these emails…

Also the fact that if you use a shared machine at all to login, it’s best practice to intentionally log out of everything, and clear cookies/cache when you’re done.

Ah, look at the titanic while shitting in an outhouse sized tube with 4 other people… What an experience

Jack and charger ports can be controlled by the phone to turn off if there is low resistance (ie water) between contacts.

A battery is harder, as it’s what provides the power to the thing that decides whether to turn off the port. Not that it’s impossible to put some smarts into a battery, to decide when to power the output. But it’s going to add a lot of complexity and bulk to do it (switching circuit, logic circuits, etc)

I see it as a longevity thing.

Sure you can bring another battery pack with you and charge your device from it, but at some point your internal battery will be degraded enough that it essentially needs to be plugged in to function, which is not feasible.

Being able to easily replace the thing in the device that wears out fastest is a good thing.

Granted I expect if this does go through, that mfg will make the battery hard to replace by other means (ie drm locks) making sure they can nickel and dime the consumer all the way.
