While traditional geothermal power taps heat sources close to the surface, Fervo and its peers are drilling deeper because deeper rock is hotter, opening more opportunities for development […] bringing drilling techniques and technologies from the oil and gas sector to the development of new geothermal resources.

Still not really clear what their tech is or how they got it done so fast.

What a breath of sanity.

Ah right, this was BMW too:

For the past few years, BMW has behaved in a way that seems to treat their buyers as targets for more revenue over everything else. Remember all their subscription bullshit? People hated that, and worked around it, and eventually BMW had to dial that back, because having a subscription for heated seats makes people want to riot.

So, definitely on the “don’t even consider” list.

I learned Ansible for this purpose, so all the modified configs live in a git repo. I still get lazy and modify some things directly (looking at you Minecraft plugins) but a lot of it is pretty easy to set up via IaC.
