I think it would be enough if other search providers would be required to give a portion of their profit from each search to Google.

Tuollaisia vekottimia kutsutaan painovoima-akuiksi (gravity battery), vaikkakin gravitaatioakku olisi oikeampi nimi. Gravitaatiossa ei ole kyse voimasta, mutta suomen kielessä taidetaan edelleen suosia tuota vanhaa painovoima -termiä.

Pikaisella guuglauksella löytyy Vattenfallin blogi-postaus "Betoniharkoista tulee painovoima-akkuja", jossa höpistään ensimmäisestä suuren mittaluokan kaupallisesta gravitaatioakusta, joka on rakenteilla Kiinassa. Sen varastointikapasiteetti on 100 MWh, ja artikkelin mukaan sen olisi pitänyt valmistua viime syyskuussa.

Resolution matters a lot. If you have one of those super ultrawide monitors (5120x1440) or 4k monitor, even the best GPU available today struggles with some of the current games. What the performance will be with games released 7 years from now is anyone's guess, but "good" is not the first word that comes to my mind.

Also when choosing your GPU, if silence is a factor that matters to you, a general rule of thumb is that the thicker/bigger the heatsink is the less noise the fans needs to make.

Maybe you should treat your wife with better quality matcha

I want to start drinking tea more instead of coffee

Not sure if you are aware of it, but matcha has pretty high caffeine content. It's less than in coffee, but more than in other types of tea. One gram of matcha powder contains approximately 20-45mg of caffeine. So, if you prepare a cup of matcha using 2 grams of matcha powder, you could get up to 90 mg of caffeine. Tea leaves being naturally grown things, it's impossible to know how much caffeine is in each tea leaf.

In case you want to reduce your caffeine intake even more, you might want to try other Japanese green teas. As you like matcha, your taste buds might agree with other Japanese green teas as well.

Also I have a cold brew coffee maker, could I put the powder in the filter as I submerge it? How long would it last in the fridge (assuming I can)?

One tea brewing method you might want to look into is grandpa style tea brewing. To grandpa style brew tea, you simply put some tea leaves into some kind of container, such as mug or water bottle, and add some water. As you drink the tea throughout the day, you just add more water over the leaves as needed, basically keeping the leaves submerged in water the whole day. Some teas are better suited for grandpa style brewing than others. Japanese tea leaves are usually broken leaves, and broken leaves quickly turns the tea liquor bitter/astringent and as such might not be suited for grandpa style brewing.

There are couple tea communities that might be helpful in your tea journey:

The word "tea" in Japanese and Chinese is cha (茶). Matcha is a Japanese green tea that goes through specific production steps, and the end result is very fine powder. To prepare matcha tea you mix matcha powder with hot water, traditionally, using a bamboo whisk.

You probably have been drinking matcha lattes, which contains milk. Normal matcha is just water.

Why does the article use an image of nuclear fission power plant while the article doesn't mention words "nuclear" or "fission"?

Store bought wasabi pastes might have real wasabi in them, but only couple percentages.

I'm kind of surprised if Kindle is the only one that has that feature. Did you check the competitors?

You can use Send to Kindle email method to upload files as well. It works with Calibre. The page I linked has "Other ways to send" section which lists all the methods and how to use them. The web app has 200MB file size limit, the rest are limited to 50MB per file.

Also, while Send to Kindle supports EPUB, Kindle does not: Send to Kindle will convert the files to a Kindle's own file format. This conversion can sometimes mess things up, but they have been improving it since they added EPUB support last year. You might want to try out the Kindle iOS and Desktop apps before spending money on the actual device, and test how Send to Kindle works.

As with most portable devices, battery life depends heavily on what you do with the device and how you use it. CPU and GPU under full load are biggest power drains followed by display, especially the backlight but high refresh rate also requires energy. You probably won't be doing much CPU/GPU intensive tasks with an e-ink device (although you can watch videos and even play games on the Page if you are okay with the ghosting). E-ink displays doesn't require lights and they refreshes only when the content changes, so the display uses minimal amount of energy - unless you turn on the light. When you put the device to stand by it disconnects wireless connections and, I assume, it disables some of the background processes as well. Also it's not vanilla Android, but their own flavor of it. I don't know what changes they've made beside the user interface.

I've had the Page for couple months only, and my use cases have been all over the place, so I can't accurately comment on the battery life. It's several days with one charge, and I try to keep the charge level between 20% and 80% to prolong the battery, so I'm not even using the whole capacity. The battery life is not an issue.
