nah, you get there by using better materials in semiconductors manufacturing and more importantly better designs overall

superconductors do nothing to make batteries or CMOS more efficient

no

no

no

this thing would enable very strong superconducting magnets to work without cryogenic cooling. so, portable MRIs, better maglev, maybe perhaps easier fusion.

another interesting property is that resistance is zero. that means that you can transfer energy losslessly, saving some 10% of it this way. or you can make coils of this thing and charge/discharge them as needed, but this time without cooling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnetic_energy_storage

no. rn i’m running debian host with mint guest and win10 guest. on host htop load average is below 2, the bigger issue is ram, at about 16gb used. as it happens, ram is much more easily expanded even on laptops than any other potential bottleneck causing hardware. i’ve never been short of performance with this setup, even when using old laptop with 12 gb ram and four cores

not if host is any normal linux distro (much lighter than windows)

i’m not running windows on bare metal on principle

then you put it in box and make passthrough work

the correct way is to install linux on bare metal and not use windows at all

when you do it this way, it’s foss, when you do it the other way around, it’s piracy

there’s lemmy link and kbin link for firefox, idk about chrome

browser addon would be much cleaner imo

And also, you don’t need to use Fisher-Tropsch process either. Methanol is good enough fuel that you can get more directly from syngas and getting fractions of hydrocarbons this way is simply wasteful (tar formation, too light products etc). Additional benefit is easier conversion back to hydrogen if need be

That is, unless energy density is critical. I don’t think that difference matters in most of the cases

No. Haber-Bosch process is very mature by now and it doesn’t take much more energy than thermodynamically necessary to do so. You get there by recycling heat and reusing energy of compressed gases. The actual problem is getting that hydrogen in the first place

If you want to use hydrogen as a fuel anyway, you can add that little overhead and get fuel that you can either burn in ICE or go the whole nine yards, crack it back into elements and put that in fuel cells, and, more importantly, this comes with massive advantage of ammonia being about as easy to liquefy as propane, and we already have propane fuelled cars. Energy density is vastly higher than hydrogen this way, less than propane, sure, but it’s something

Another option is dimethyl ether, but this thing needs to take carbon from somewhere, just like methanol

I mean ammonia is pretty decent fuel in itself, it can be decomposed to hydrogen or burned as is

Methanol or ammonia, both are good

On Venus you also have several hundred, but this time it’s hot sulfuric acid

ezpz just design automatically unfoldable balloon that can survive in clouds of sulfuric acid

On linux dd is always an option

rufus, woeusb, ventoy all work most of the time
