What are concentrating photovoltaics? One of the ways to increase the output from the photovoltaic systems is to supply concentrated light onto the PV cells. This can be done by using optical light collectors, such as lenses or mirrors. The PV systems that use concentrated light are called concentrating photovoltaics (CPV). The CPV collect light from a larger area and concentrate it to a smaller area solar cell. This is illustrated in Figure 5.1.

Also, from the article - 33.6% efficiency in real-world conditions:

A 60 cell-lens prototype was studied for a year. In "real-world" conditions, CPVs achieved up to 33.6% efficiency. The 36% mark was posted at 167 degrees Fahrenheit. The prototype showed no signs of degradation, according to IE.

They allow you to search with js off, which means no tracking on their domain. Quite a big difference.
They can't stop tracking on other sites, quite obviously.

Is Google Analytics and embedded tracking news? I have a whole list of untrusted domains in noscript that has to do with analytics from google, cloudflare and others.
DDG works without javascript, so I run it without.

Why do you believe duckduckgo is a controlled opposition?

lemmy doesn't have it yet but piefed does.
You can access lemmy from piefed so by moving there you can do it. https://piefed.social/post/102787

Why use apps instead of a browser and why hop?
There are still fully functioning phpbb forums out there if forums are your thing, not to mention that the fediverse can just be forked and remain in existence if someone tries to steal it.

Nowa Huta: The city that went from communism to capitalism
Once a failed post-WW2 utopia, Krakow's Nowa Huta neighbourhood has found a new lease on life and is slowly emerging as a tourist destination.

but will it give me any serious issues such as freezes or full on crashes?

More probable that you will get low fps or that your strategy game turns into a crawl if the CPU can't keep up.
I doubt you'll be able to get a new cpu that fits your motherboard socket though, so unless you find one second hand you'll end up replacing the motherboard and your memory too if you try to upgrade.

It depends on how you choose to play it, I guess. For some it's definitely a management game where you go from space port to space port to trade. Others play it as a pirate hunting game where they fight space pirates and sell the loot and that's just the sandbox elements, there's also storylines and missions you can run. :)

Might wanna look at njal.la
Unless you're planning on distributing cp or anything like that it should give you the layer of privacy you want.

... are the wedges the only non fried food in this picture?

How about boiling them tatoes?

Or simply pan fry them with some butter?

Anyways; 1. Wedges, 2. Waffles, 3. Shoestring with surprise sweet potatoes > The rest.
