While it will technically work, the old tube tvs had a 4:3 resolution of 5xx x 3xx or so, depending on if they used PAL or NTSC. Modern TV Interfaces are typically designed for a screen resolution of 1200x800 and 16:10 or 16:9, which means the fonts will be unreadable and half of the screen is cut off.

There is an enterprise windows version that comes without tracking, telemetry and auto installed crapware, but it costs more.

"Just switch to Linux!!!1!!" - yeah sure, and throw away the 3rd party software licenses I paid money for in the last 20 years, not to mention the games...

What kind of scams? Amway, Tupperware, herbalife?

Maybe the part with the drug trafficking, racketeering and gang violence inside their hobby club?

  • It takes 20 years to build
  • nobody knows how much nuclear fuel will cost in 20 years
  • you have to take out a big loan and make interest payments on it for maybe 30 years before you start making a profit
  • if you don't have enough water for cooling because of climate change, the plant must shut down
  • if your neighbor decides to start a war against you, your nuclear plants become a liability, see Ukraine.

I think smaller, decentralized renewable energy is cheaper in the short and long run and has a much lower risk in case of accidents, natural Desasters or attacks.

Still, someone has to finance it. In the worst case you have a high speed rail network with high operationg costs that nobody uses, but taxpayers still need to maintain.

Price per km of track goes up exponentialy the faster you want to go, which means they will either have expensive tickets or will be unprofitable.

Should rather give ownership to the employees instead 🙂

I don't think a battery, soldering joints or displays would last that long...

Bold to assume that important software gets tested...

But would there also be any negative effects?

Can we also put it on one rail instead of two?
