At first it didn’t make sense then i saw the pictures and it made perfect sense

Certainly, the equipment might become unusable, but rather than disposing of it, they are repurposing it elsewhere. Considering the environmental impact, whether the efficiencies and lower global warming potential (GWP) outweigh the benefits of discarding an already manufactured system, which would necessitate manufacturing anew for compliance, is uncertain.

I would estimate payback period to align with a lifespan of around 10 years, matching the expected duration of some of these systems. This estimate entirely anecdotal.

In the us market there is a new standard for evaluating efficiencies seer2 and hspf2. The minimum standards are only 1.3 seer higher than the old standards. In that sense it’s a bit sensationalized.

The article touched on the upcoming change in the US market to switch to lower global warming potential refrigerants. The new ones are about a fifth lower.

These might be coming from Europe as the us is still transitioning. Additionally the old refrigerants are not barred from being manufactured and will be continued to be used to maintain older systems. Again this is somewhat sensationalized.

We already created the equipment and ‘spent’ carbon emissions to manufacturer these. It would be a waste to throw it away.

The universe is a giant black hole that’s why it’s slowing down

Putting on jacket almost fooled me. I wrote to my congressman surely it helped.

Actually it’s all about losing company culture and collaboration if we’re not face to face.

Dang I need to try these for now only the stable diffusion extension for automatic 1111 is available.

I wonder if it will accelerate 30b models that doesn’t fit all in the gpu vram.

If it only accelerates 13b then it was already fast enough

Same here. It’s nice to have high quality niche content from individual content creators and with premium I believe they get better revenue than ad supported users.

Although YouTube music kind of sucks I’m using Apple Music for that so I kind of have redundant service

Fuji xt3 and the kit lens i used an ND filter hoping it won’t blow up my sensor.

was able to get this

I was talking about the bracelet, the watch itself is essentially e waste I think it’s only 18k gold anyway seems like the price of just branding/exclusivity

I wonder how much of that price is just the value of gold.

I’m seeing a 24k bracelet no watch and similar shape is $5k to $10k

I’m in this picture and it’s making me feel uncomfortable
