How does this compare to Geforce Now cost, where AIUI you also play games you bought?

Looks like the BeBox motherboard didn't have the external L2 in the first place.

Besides web sources, logic dictates this as well: Since dual-cpu was its selling point, it wouldn't make sense to ship a disabled L2 implementaton on the mobo at extra cost. There was no single-cpu model.

The Android version doesn't seem to be.

Does this use case involve US data transfer? Azure seems to have invested quite a lot into implementing EU data residency.

As long as you consider C and dragons flying out of your nose predictable.

(Insert similar quip about hardware)

But in SDR, the "underlying technology" of radio modulation, spread spectrum, etc is your software, no?

Electricity is fungible, so when big operators buy wind-only power from the market, the rest of the demand uses the non-green power left in the pool.

(It still potentially increases wind buildout so it can have indirect positive impact especially if wind is not competitive at the same prices with fossils)

Also the accounting is "we bought as many MWh of wind power as we used" over some time window, so in reality they are using fossil power in peaks, competing with everyone else and placing pressure to expand fossil based capacity.

These are also the reasons it's probably better to talk about the electricity used instead of trying to translate it to emissions by proxy, which is prone to being gamed due to abovementioned reasons.

(Also the number is high rather than low if you consider that all the individual slices of the emisison pie at this subdivision granularity are pretty small)

You're allowed only very fractional duty cycle access. So depends on what you mean by "alternative to internet", but generally no.

Software patentability is limited in a lot of places, can this actually be an argument in favour of doing things using SDR?

Buildings lose value over time in most places. And in many places where they don't, including renovation investments in the picture results shows declining value.

How does the AGPL apply in this case, does it apply to the apps you build?

Doesn't the shielding help prevent heat output only with short duration power use peaks? If we imagine the conductor is heating at the same rate 24/7, all of the heat must flow out of the cable at the same rate it's getting generated unless the conductor's temperature can increase indefinitely.
