No no, illegal for CITIZENS to use. I'm sure they'll have a licensing requirement allowing their use for corporate entities of course.

Someone watched Star Trek and took their interfaces a bit too literally

I'm sure those will be illegal by the end of 2026

They won't. Funded by Amazon, corporate tracking will still be mandatory.

Why the fuck does every single company doing anything of value end up being run by fucking Nazi chuds???????

Your comment is surprisingly spot on. One of my professors from community college that I remain in contact with is a retired AF pilot and long time Boeing manufacturing engineer from well before the M-D merger. He quit only a year or two after the merger because he saw the huge writing on the wall with how suddenly Boeing's corporate behavior changed. He had contacts at M-D who warned him too and he got out while the getting was good.

Sure, but engineering materials still start to break down at such high continuous service temps. And mechanical heat pumps become very impractical above 250C as things like compressors and phase change refrigerants also break down under extreme temperatures and pressures required to force a phase change at such a high temp.

Oh god I already play both Space Engineers and Factorio, don't give me another 500 hour logistics game time sink...

Gee, what gave it away?

I popped an edible and watched his entire catalytic converter video last night. Shit's great.

I touch r134a the most in my day to day life, cuz i fix a lot of people's car AC... But I have a soft spot for propane (R290) or propane/butane blends. Yes it's flammable to a degree but it's naturally provided, cheap as hell, zero ozone depletion and very low GWP. It has usable pressure/temperature curves that are easy for compressors to handle and can produce temperatures as low as -30C.

I've refilled old farm trucks with propane from a BBQ can and gotten good AC out of them. It's kind of cool.

Thermodynamics, specifically refrigeration cycles.

Its probably my autism showing but the fact that we can just move funny fluid around and make heat move is absolutely fascinating. I can spend a lot of time making theoretical refrigeration cycles with different fluids, thermoelectrics, heat capacities, repurposing car junkyard AC systems, etc.

Millions of people do it for work, sure. I doubt any of them are "into it".
