They can afford to let domestic prices increase more due to the political allies they have. When burning oil is subsidised by wind farms are banned that's a win-win for the oil companies.

It works out at €1.40 a litre, or £1.20 a litre. Diesel at the local garage I passed at lunchtime is £1.89 (57% more). The web [0] suggests that is more expensive than anywhere in europe other than France and Denmark for some reason. So now

This would not be happening if the USA had not launched an attack on Iran This was the desired effect though, as higher oil prices means more profit for US based oil producers. I'm sure that will trickle down any time now.

Nobody wants the kind of advertising we get. If they did it would be optional. There used to be optional ads. I used to pay money for adverts -- computer shopper and micromart in the 90s for example. There aren't now.

In the UK we've had off peak power overnight for decades. My current one is something like 1/3rd of the price of daytime power between 2300 and 0700. However this is somewhat old fashioned, the most modern tarrifs vary on a 30 min

I watch films on streaming rather than old dvds with unskippable nonsense like "don't pirate this dvd" (well obviously I didn't, that's why I have the dvd), or the pain of the menu systems to just press play.

So in real terms it's up 26%. Which of course is to be expected, people have a set amount they are willing to spend on entertainment, in the past it was cable -- in 2015 the average US cable TV subscription was about $100, that's

Smaller companies are far less likely to, as their owner is happy with their profit and actually likes running the company. One a company goes public though, or has significant external input (VC etc), things start on the slippery slope.

Look at the outrage from US tech bros when the EU passed a law saying that you only had to tell people you were going to do this. Imagine how preventing it would be received.

I believe the 30W figure was power usage before SFPs or DACs. Looks like 400G sfps are about 10W, so you'd double it when fully loaded. I believe passive twinax doesn't use anywhere near that though. https://www.fs.com&

I'd really like them to take one or two of those 400G ports and split them into internal port splitters to generate a 32x10/25g switch with 400g uplinks for $2k. They do a 8x50G one (crs812_ddq) Ultimately this is a Marvell 98dx73

> While $1100 is not a low number It really is when you're talking 400G. OK there's very few ports on this, but in general if you're looking at 400g interfaces. $1100 won't even get you a genuine Arista 400G passive D

At work I can't see being able to drop ipv4 for at least 20 years due to applications and hardware which still relies on ipv4 (I've got some endpoints which don't even support igmpv2!) I still haven't had a single failur

Running nat on ipv4 is no worse than running a stateful firewall on ipv6 only, I don't get the complaints about it. Modern firewalls do far more with deep packet inspection, SSL unwrapping etc. NAT is a hardware function on enterprise

Dual stack is the problem, we've still got devices which are ipv4 only. I've never seen anything that's ipv6 only. Even on my standard linux laptop, and corporate windows laptop, with the hack of DNS64, I still have issues wi

I've seen a lot of changes going through since 2024, and I saw a lot of difference between the 2010-15 coalition and the 2015-24 conservative administration, or the 1997-2010 labour administration.
