Det er nøjagtigt det vi er.

Hvis de skifter til Linux og open source løsninger, vil kompetencerne hurtigt melde sig. Enhver kan installere en Virtual machine, så de kan afkoble Microsoft hen ad vejen.

Så længe de fortsætter med Microsoft løsninger vil de bare fortsætte med at hælde flere penge i udvikling til at holde sig selv fastlåst på Microsoft.
Det er bedre at begynde skiftet nu end senere.

Jamen hvorfor i alverden bruger i stadig Microsoft?
I 99,9% af tilfældende er LibreOffice rigeligt, og de skabeloner i har betalt for i dyre domme, kunne have været lavet til LibreOffice i stedet.
Kommunerne har låst sig selv fast på noget lort de ingen kontrol har over. Det burde fame være ulovligt!!
Det svarer til at købe vand på flaske til alle formål, selv at skylle toilet ud med. I stedet for at bruge vandhaner.

Så installer for helvede noget virtual machine, og gå stille og roligt over til noget open source. Det vil koste lidt ekstra i starten, men øge frihed, fleksibilitet og sikkerhed gevaldigt i længden. Og så kan i spare 100% på alle licenser!!!

and the big burner is 5.5kW.

Yes, but there is enormous waste of heat with a gas stove, so your 5.5 kW big burner, is only equivalent to half of that compared to induction. Our smallest plate at 4.4+ kW is more powerful.

Cooking isn’t just heating stuff as fast as you can, what a curious thing to consider.

That's a straw man argument, I never claimed any such thing.

But the fast response time makes it easier to adjust correct temperature/levels, and this was for many years a major argument from users of gas, but this argument is completely irrelevant now.
I also mentioned other drawbacks of gas.

PS: I NEVER use preheated water for cooking anything, preheated water is generally not meant for consumption. It needs to be designed for that specifically, so unless your preheated water is guaranteed food grade, you shouldn't use it.

This is very common in Denmark, and I suspect in much of Europe.
This is commonly used for stoves, ovens, dishwashers, dryers and washing machines. 30 years ago it was vastly dominant.
But today most 380/400v equipment can also run on 230/240v (2 phases instead of 3). Many now use standard 230/240v because most equipment has become more power efficient.

PS: Apparently we actually have 400v for 3 phases. So our stove is 400v. I just chose the lower number to not exaggerate.
I've tried to find out why both numbers are used, and all I can find is that it's due to regional differences?

gas stoves being better or faster than induction is a myth. They have certain specific advantages, but they are actually slower.

If you have 380/400V 16A induction, it's not even close.
But be careful, if you have ceramic coated pans for instance, and you use the high power settings to heat it up, your pans won't last long, as the ceramic may crack because of the fast heat up. We lost 2 pans that way. 😋
We also had a cheap cooking pot, where it developed a crack between the main pot and the apparently cheaply attached heat spreading bottom.
This made the pot sputter because water was collected in the crack when washed.
When I boil eggs, i time it from the moment the water is boiling. But with out new stove, the water boils so fast, I've had to add 2 minutes to the time they boil!!

Our electric kettle is 2.2 kW. But boiling a liter of water on the stove is still more than twice as fast!! Meaning the stove must be putting more than 4.4 kW to the pot, on the smallest cooking spot!!

Obviously that is only possible for 1 spot at a time, I figure the max must be around 6kW combined.

They have certain specific advantages, but they are actually slower.

I can't think of any advantages, gas stoves are slower, they are harder to clean, they give off an insane amount of wasted heat, which is uncomfortable in hot weather, and they noticeably degrade air quality unless you have very good ventilation.

The only possible advantage I can think of, is that you can use cheaper equipment on gas. but not always, because non metal handles tend to get ruined on gas stoves.

All in all induction is superior. 😎

Please don't let the fact that these numbers have been arriving every day for 3 years now, numb you to the horrors behind these numbers.
Ukraine needs our help more than ever.

there was a need to adjust some of the positions of the enemy’s total losses - personnel

The number for personnel was adjusted up by 1650.

Trump wants you to join him on the insane train.

I've heard a lot about Russia not being able to make good ball bearings, so I think you are right it will impact transportation especially by train.
Regarding food, Russia is also likely to have way below average harvest in 2025 for several crops. Because they can't import quality seeds, and have to make do with Russian seeds that have lower yields.
Note that this import is not restricted by embargo, because it's for basic food items which have exceptions. It's simply Russia themselves that prevent imports, probably because of lack of currency for imports.

So for sure prices of basic food items will go up in 2025, also more than inflation itself would require. And this is very likely to cause huge problems for especially pensioners and other low income households.
I don't think we will see widespread starvation, but shortages rising prices and possibly food stamps are very likely.

The singularity is an interesting idea, but further analysis to me indicate that physical barriers will prevent it from ever happening.
Yes we have development at an increasing pace, but the barriers for improvements are increasing even more as we approach physical barriers. So we are not approaching the singularity, but we are approaching what could be the peak of fast progress, especially on living standards, where it may already have passed for the developed world.

Ray Kurzweil is a brilliant man, but I think he miscalculated regarding the singularity.

Nonono, Musk has already helped us with that. We are saving hundreds of dollars on wages, and only very few planes have crashed.

Ukraine actually made a list of ceasefires Russia had broken:

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/02/24/7499797/

And Zelenskyy has informed the US administration about it personally.
Putin is NOT trustworthy, and is demonstrably a liar about everything regarding the war on Ukraine.
There is zero rational reason to trust Putin.

Trump doesn't give a shit about facts, and he is constantly gaslighting about Putin and Russia.
The man is a traitor, and should be executed for treason of the highest order.

I considered hard weather this really belongs in Technology, but came to the conclusion that exposing a scammer that is considered a tech genius, does belong here. Because debunking a technology company is as important as showing it, when it's considered valid.

That said, I believe most people here are already aware that Musk is not to be trusted blindly. But just how bad it really is, may be news to some.

 

Russia takes huge losses with the so-called human meat wave attacks that they use on the frontline. In this video I discuss the meaning, and why the Russian commanders may see the casualties as a benefit rather than a problem.
