do you know how hot it gets in Qatar?

Qatar is one of the leading countries in the development of Solar Energy... so I'm sure that even if this wasn't solar powered, we'd be using much less electricity than an average US city. However if you can find a completely environmentally solution (besides the sarcastic "just don't make an A/C like that") let me know :)

Well as a stop-gap measure they should hold off on cooling a 35km tube in a very hot place, really don't see the point. As i see it a lot of middle-eastern countries are competing with each other to build the tallest, the largest, the longest etc. Seems to me all of these things are just penis extensions.

Well if they do this right and it equates to less cars, thus less nasty gass` then great, hopefully tho they,ll see enough uptake. Also if this is running of a power surplus then thats great aswell.

But well see, it could just be a multi millio dollar screw you thats more show boating than energy efficient

In the Middle East, if you say Emirate you mean part of the United Arab Emirates.

Actually in the middle east an (Emirate) is a piece of land that does not qualify to be an independent country. But it qualifies to have a ruler!

Thats why Qatar always benchmarks itself to cities like Dubai. It will be funny if it started comparing itself to real countries.

I personally think it's a great idea. The heat is unbelievable sometimes. (an amazing 52c this year). So now people will be able to be cooled down without having to stay at home and be able to enjoy the national passtime, chilling by the sea.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
