The 7 series are more efficient than the 5 series. They just are programmed to go as fast as thermals allow. So the reviewers that had really powerful coolers on the cpus saw really high power draw. If instead you set a power cap, you get higher performance per watt than the previous generations.
Having the clocks scale to a thermal limit is a nice feature to have, but I don’t think it should have been the default mode.
I am really dissapointed that crypto became synonymous with speculative “investing.” The core blockchain technology seems like it could be useful for enhancing privacy online. However, the majority of groups loudly advertising that they use crypto are exploitative money grabs.
That’s much easier to read. Thanks.
Hey, just so you know, your comment displays as one big blob without formatting, at least on my app. A single carriage return doesn’t display as a new line. Adding "* " to the start of the line would put your list as bullet points.
These are all excellent non-sensationalized channels. It’s only tangentially related to your prompt, but they’re all worth checking out for education/entertainment without obnoxious hype clickbait and controversy.
I only added suggestions that I didnt see in other comments. Many of the other suggestions are also in my personal collection.

Two suggestions: run a humidifier. Preferably use a steam one with distilled water. The ultrasonic cool mist ones introduce any minerals and bacteria that are in the water into the air.
The easiest suggestion is to change your blanket. I’m guessing you’re wrapping yourself in a fuzzy fleece blanket. Synthetic fibers like polyester transfer way more static charge than natural fibers. Try looking for a cotton or wool throw. Or for something fuzzy, find a sheep pelt with wool on it. Even using a cotton sheet between you and your current blanket should reduce the amount of charge buildup.
A side benefit of changing blanket materials, is that any blanket that generates a lot of static charge also holds loads of dust and pet hairs. A less static generating blanket will stay cleaner longer.
The easiest way to discharge is to touch a metal faucet. If you have copper pipes, they’ll be grounded, but even just the tap water is conductive enough to dissipate most of the charge.

ITER will adress almost all of your concerns and is the capstone of international fusion collaboration. It’s also well on its way to being completed. It is still a research reactor, so it won’t actually be generating for the grid. It is expected to achieve long pulse fusion with Q=10 where the majority of heating to sustain the reaction comes from the fusion.
They will spend a while testing the plasma conditions and very low fusion amounts to test shielding before moving on to full power fusion runs. If the full power fusion runs work as designed, that should provide enough data to prove out commercial generating designs. ITER should be the final plasma dynamics research tokamak needed. Demonstration plants should be simpler, and hence faster and cheaper to build than ITER.
Full power runs will generate 500MW from 50MW input power. That’s plenty of efficiency to still produce meaningful power after collection and generating inefficiencies.
Do bondsman need publicity? They literally have a captive market.
Recent anecdotal evidence shows that elections are not particularly effective at selecting against incompetence.
Isn’t rebco tape already a decent candidate for that, and much further along in development pipelines?
Error correction relies on the majority of values to remain unchanged. I don’t think that assumption holds for qubits at room temperature. I’ll admit that I’m not well read enough to be certain.
Room temperature superconductors would be great for a lot of applications, but I don’t think they do that much to enable quantum computing.
Afaik superconducting quantum computers are operated well below the critical temperature for copper. They wouldn’t go through that extra effort if it wasn’t necessary.
At the temps needed, regular copper is superconducting.
It could be helpful in some of the intermediary stages to reduce heat production, but it’s not going to be a major linchpin for quantum computing. They’ll still need cryostats and liquid helium cooling.
Quantum computing needs to be cold to avoid thermal noise from destroying coherence. A room temperature superconductor probably doesn’t enable room temperature quantum computing.
It can’t really be scaled up to human carrying capacity. The density of solar wind is very sparce. Any sail large enough to accelerate a human habitat would itself become too heavy.
