Bold to claim the US is sane.
I believe there is battery tech that is newer but being deployed into production that is iron based. It is heavier and less energy dense than lithium. But for power grid level deployment that should be fine and iron is a bit harder to catch on fire.
I'm not on a stimulant beside caffeine. But I have noticed a similar issue. 3 things I do to help:
- Plan for it. I intentionally plan for my meals to be larger as the day progresses so dinner is the biggest.
- I give myself "free" things to eat with no guilt. If I want to eat a giant bowl of cooked broccoli, no worries.
- Don't buy things you will dopamine crave. If you have junk food at arms reach, you will eat it. I try to stick up on protein bars and fresh fruit.
As for food functionality it is very comparable to software remote control of a computer. There are 3 key features that stand out:
- It does not rely on the target machine being booted into the OS. This means you can access it even if it crashes or locks up.
- It can "push" the power button on the machine. This requires an accessory that plugs into the motherboard. So you can force a machine off or cold boot a system.
- You can mount a boot ISO. This is like having a bootable flash drive in the target machine so you can install an OS remotely.
Edit: Because this is essentially full access to the machine as if you where physically at it, it should be considered a security risk. Not saying that you need to be scared of it, but you should be aware of the risk and protect it from unauthorized access.
I would argue that under the right conditions it could negatively impact physical growth. As social creatures, humans can experience a lot of stress from isolation. I think it well understood that intense prolonged stress can have many negative impacts on the body. It could negatively impact physical development in that way.
My Dad was a truck driver and died from bladder cancer. Please don't hold it when you don't have to.
There will always be problems and money offers solutions to a lot of problems. So even if your problems grow, it's possible for your solutions to grow faster.
Yeah, that sounds like the correct setting and you are correct on the Intel graphics.
The Bios may have a setting telling it to use the onboarding video first. I would check bios settings for that.
It sounds like you are fundamentally trying to embrace healthier habits. I would suggest starting by examining the feeling. Just spend some time thinking about it before acting. Why do I feel motivated to do this? How will I feel while doing it? How will I feel after? Do I gain something from this worth the downsides?
The goal is to make a decision about what you are doing and why instead of just falling into old patterns of behavior with thought.
My guess is the will keep making GPUs for data center and keep consumer GPUs on a very limited product line/budget.
Livescribe has been around for years. It was really useful in school.
