Yeah, no. That'an inverter, which they ALSO are. please read a bit. Inverters have been arund for a long time.

Why aren't Olympic games distributed between, let's say, 8-10 countries? Maybe make them continent games. Distribute the cost and benefits, and maybe make then bi-annual, fairer to athletes by enlarging the window of opportunity.

Why not Air Source AC? They are right now the most efficient climate control systems, to the point that many countries give tax credits for installation or replacement of older systems. Geothermal is probably better, but Air Source can be installed anywhere.

I can now get AS splits for less that 400 (500-600 installed)€ in Spain, where AC is common. I fail to understand why Paris didn't go that route.

When planning and building, Air source + solar is essentially free (cost and carbon) climate control.

Cost per liter including filters, liquids and electricity?

Rpi 5 is overkill. You can probably do this with a Rpi zero W

You or someone may have an old router with usb in a closet somewhere. Many routers have repeater capability.

slackware

The 5 is already somewhat enshittified. The Non Standard USB power that makes you buy a propietary PS is one example (which I found out after buying one for my son).

Affinity suite (designer, photo, and publisher) are pro level, pay to own, and much less expensive

Is there an easy way to install in a VM?

Can't you run timeshift from a live usb? Never tried, but i believe its possible. Obviously more time consuming and bothersome, but possible.

Two days ago my Mint system got borked by a kernel update. I booted from the grub menu with the prior kernel, and rolled back with Timeshift. Pretty painless. You don't need Atomic/immutable distros for that sort of reliability.

I'm playing with kinoite in a VM, though.

I do small business support. Everytime I do a windows install I do a ninite install of a bunch of things. Everything is always in the set. The fucntionality should have been in windows since NTFS was introduced

"Generally" is the key word. I'm a linux user since slackware on diskettes. My daily driver is Mint, because lazy. I have 2 VMs with kali and kinoite.

A couple of days ago a kernel update borked my install. A problem with the Ryzen graphics driver.

For me it was trivial. Boot into the previous kernel, timeshift roll back, and back in business, but I can see how a newbie woul go into panic.

A satisfied "customer" will recommend you to a friend. A pissed off one will tell 10.

Not really. Gravity and windows work as expected

L/100km. Standard fuel efficiency measurement in metric countries

My car, a 25 yr old Skoda Octavia TDi gets about that mileage.

I'm hoping. I've been a Serif customer since the 00's. Not much we can do except be very vocal, and remind Serif and Canva that if they go the Adobe route, they'll risk becoming irrelevant. Difference is their power.

Is canva very enshittified?

Yes, delay the submarine metamorphosis.
