I still have my presidential physical fitness award. I’m old, mine is signed by Nixon. It’s a very official looking certificate with a patch that I put under the glass in the frame. Back when I used to hang my work awards on my office wall, I used to have that one in with them. Most people didn’t ever notice, but every once in a while someone would be looking at them and I could always see the exact moment they realized what it was.
I guess it would depend on the temperature resistance and how the power is transmitted. Even solar panels wear out, and the collection surfaces of a dyson sphere would be a lot higher temp. But with something that scale, I’d imagine it would be a ton of maintenance work even if was a tiny amount per area.
Love those windows when travelling, but I have yet to see windows that open to the inside here in Ireland. Not sure whether it’s one of those crazy building regulations like no power switch or outlet inside the bathroom or auto-closing inner doors to each room.
This reminds me of blocking ads on twitch. You can’t skip the ad but you can instead look at a black screen for the exact same duration. And that’s preferable.
