• Prices keep rising due to the 350+ book lore and many games (e.g. Space Marine 2 - Doom with more brotherhood) being popular. Also shareholders and exec bonuses.
• Bigger boxes have bigger value.
• Terrain is easy to make.
• 400 USD can get you a Bambu A1 filament printer or supposedly more detailed but toxic Phrozen Sonic Mini 8KS resin printer.
• Only 3rd party proxies are banned at official tournaments, so add the cost of 3D modeling, slicing, and safety gear if you opt for resin (which has to be 24-30 degrees Celsius).
• TPU is fit for DIY injection molding.

Heat and power

I have district heating from a combined heat and power plant, which should be 80+% efficient. A solar air to water heat pump could be more efficient at 29% * usually 200% but sometimes 400% (For reference, traditional gas boilers only go up to 94%.) = 58% to 116%, the latter might require ground instead of air. CO2 is a relatively safe refrigerant.

According to ChatGPT: The efficiency of a typical modern steam turbine in a power plant is around 30-40%. Fuel cells can achieve efficiencies in the range of 40% to 60% or even higher for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Those and molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are used in combined hea

Windows sucks, too!

Audio

• Needs a registry hack to stop audio pops.
• Windows 11 TTS stops working randomly.
• 64-bit Windows 10 Home version 1909 build 18363.900 (and probably 11) lacks audio enhancement tab. Turns out MSI decided to change that to Realtek Audio Console, Sound Effects, Nahimic, Effects ON, Volume Stabilizer.
• Audio mixer sucks since 11. Doesn't show the Xbox game bar making noise, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNCQzwPptbA
• Settings app fails at volume mixer and Bluetooth settings, unlike the settings popup from the systray.
