Yes, that is why it states “this is what peak thermodynamic performance.” In electronics people are taught that no device is 100% efficient because energy is lost as heat. A heater is 100% efficient because everything becomes heat.

Light is absorbed by materials and ultimately becomes heat.

Assuming this isn’t fake I’d guess “made laminated fact sheets” means printing out fact sheets from the Lockheed Martin website & laminating them. Not making the original document.
Tried to find the sheet online, and found this: https://sustainability.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed-martin/aero/documents/April2023F16FastFacts.pdf
The problem is, no one on Nix is going to stay on the trail. We are all there since we left it long ago.
NixOS came out in 2003, crunchbang came out in 2008. As someone who swapped to NixOS after reaching the “plateau of stability” and realizing I needed more power, while the distro is a clusterfuck that shouldn’t be as popular as it is. It has some very clear and defined use cases, so I don’t see it dying any time soon.

Linux@programming.dev•Steam Will End Windows 32-bit OS Support Next Year - Hopefully Linux Follows
3·2 months agoIt’s not a problem for users, it is a problem for maintainers: https://www.howtogeek.com/fedora-44-will-not-lose-32-bit-software/
Nowadays there is basically no reason for mainstream distros to have to maintain 32-bit libraries and dependencies… Except steam.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Tea is basically just salad water.
4·3 months agoThe majority of tea (pu’erh my beloved excluded) is not fermented it is oxidized.
Fermented: Silly lil guys do some magic to make flavour get funky. EX: pu’erh, wine, miso, bread
Oxidized: Oxygen, destroyer of worlds, wrecks havoc on the chemical structure of hapless molecules. EX: Guac that has gone brown, green, oolong, and black tea, rust.








I would like to give a massive shout out to the fact that a foot is only 5mm off from being a light nanosecond. (Pure coincidence, but imagine if the next God emperor of America changed the foot definition by 5mm to make a truly science based unit of measurement.)
