I live in a rental on 4th floor, unfortunately I can't add anything to the outside of the windows... And putting anything on the inside risks trapping the heat in the glass and cracking it.

Yes because modern Scandinavian homes have huge uncovered well insulated windows to allow the sun in as a free radiator during winter. I calculated my living room window to be somewhere between 3000W-5000W worth of radiation. Due to the high insulation this doesn't dissipate during the night in a heatwave, so it doesn't matter if the outside temp is 18°

Why? Because housing regulations dictated it. No one expected 2018 levels of heatwaves to be the new norm (except all the experts).

My old apartment reached temps of 35° measured at midnight for weeks in the 2018 heatwave despite the outdoor temp not rising much above 30°. Morning temps where around 28° with all windows open. If the morning baseline was lower the night temps might have been possible to sleep in but the insulation kept temps high throughout.

2000 is divisible by 400 so it is a leap year. It goes "divisible by 4" is a leap year, "divisible by 100" not a leap year, "divisible by 400" the exception to the exception so this is a leap year too.

I wanted to show the full calculation, but that one works too.

And yes, you could do some more math to account for the 10 day drift the Julian calendar introduced but historians mostly use the proleptic Gregorian calendar which removes this for ease of use to better count orbits. If you want the actual sunrises since 1/1/0001 it should be enough to just add back 10 days.

Fixed, it was a typo

My calculations make it 739,802

Baseline: 2025 * 365 = 739,125

Leap years: Floor(2025 / 4) = 506 - floor(2025 / 100) = 486 + floor(2025 / 400) = 491 (every 4th year except every 100th year with the exception of every 400th year)

1st of Jan 2026 to 5th of July 2026: 186

Total: 739,125 + 491 + 186 = 739,802

Because they didn't even wait a week since they showed that they can take away your purchases from you library. At least Valve to my knowledge never pulled a gane from libraries, even if the game was pulled from the store.

The proper legal resolution would be refunding the customer and then settle it between Amazon and the author that didn't have the rights to sell what they sold. If I buy some food at the grocery store and there's a recall due to for example contamination, I can go back to the store and get a refund. I can even go to any store selling the same item without an invoice and get a refund (for their list price I think). This is at least the deal in Denmark. This should be the same if something was sold with a missing license or improper license (if it is sold as a product but the license the seller has expires and is not renewed)

They've only been caught once before but it's the third time it happens. The market looked identical between 2016 and 2018 (wiki). China also investigated them IIRC

Something that consumes more energy than you can imagine.

So an AI data center?

It is created by privacy activists and is still run by the original owners. I haven't heard of any raids but they're using RAM servers so raids would be inefficient anyway.

Even better since they support port forwarding. They're also a privacy focused. It is founded by privacy activists and has been like that since inception. I haven't heard any bad stuff about the people behind it.
