Nobody prevents government(s) from creating a search engine. Actually nobody stops anyone from creating a search engine. Also nobody stops anybody from using another search engine. The internet is the most level playing field and is more competitive than any other industry. Nowhere else is it as easy to create something new as a business and to switch services as a customer. If anything it's the customers fault and by extension a lack of education. So if you want to blame government then blame it for keeping its people dumb. And there you actually have a point.
I don't drive planes nor busses. I'm a passenger: The back seat(s) of passenger cars are often fixed too. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the bus driver's seat is powered.
I do drive cars, though, and sometimes other people's cars. I'd much rather be able to adjust while driving so that I can have better control over the car than have to fumble with levers, which might propel me back far enough that I cannot brake. Heck, I might have been having to adjust because I didn't realize how far i needed to press the brake in the first place.
Depends on the use case. If you want to pay anonymously online then there is Paysafecard for example (available in some countries and for some services).
There are other blockchain currencies of course, but I think they all have the same environmental issues.
OK, so interpret my question as asking for an explanation of the figure of speech!
It's a little bit surprising to get such pushback on a genuine question when there are substances you could describe as "electricity you can put on the back of a truck" such as hydrogen canisters and various forms of battery!
As others have said, I was mostly referring not to the ability to easily convert to and from aluminium, but instead the fact aluminium is easily transportable and such a useful material that there is rarely surplus (if aluminium were cheaper, it would take over lots of places where steel is used, and even some uses of concrete).
That in effect means that if there is excess electricity in a region, it can in many cases work out cheaper to build a decent road to the region and build aluminium smelters than to build power transmission lines out of the region.
Yeah, I'm puzzled as well. Upon reading the article, I tried to find Linux notebooks via their homepage (i.e. by starting at dell.com), but found nothing.
Go to dell.com/developers . Dell's site is quite a disaster in general. It boggles the mind how hard it is for this giant corporations (Dell, Lenovo, HP) to make a halfway usable website.
Yes, poor websites. It's also hard to find a xeon-m + ecc memory without nvidia being added as a punishment. 7520 is the only one with such a config, and even that is a bad fit with other compromises.
Search for "Developer Edition" and you'll find several. I don't know why, but I imagine Dell might be avoiding showing them on the front page lest someone inadvertently order an Ubuntu laptop.
