World enters era of 'global water bankruptcy'

The United Nations says current global efforts are still falling short of climate targets, with emissions not decreasing fast enough to meet agreed limits. The report highlights a growing gap between political commitments and actual action, raising concerns about long-term environmental and economic consequences.

Governments love targets but hate actually hitting them

Same story every year just getting worse

[VB]

At some point this stops being a warning and becomes reality

[Quanta]

My Ev is working nicely though

My Ev is working nicely though

That is exactly it. Same here honestly.

Thanks for that.

[Totally]

I don't know about that. Good stuff.

[codeberg]

I got to the same conclusion a different way but yes. That is the sensible starting point.

[QuantumKnight]

Been reading the same thing from a few different angles. The difference between what is being reported and what is actually happening is often significant.

Interesting to see where it goes.

[Quanta]

Yes, and I would add that it is even more true if your hardware is older. I would try the least destructive fix first before changing too much at once.

Happy to help further if you get stuck.

[Quanta]

I got to the same conclusion a different way but yes. When I ran into something similar the biggest improvement came from stripping things back and checking the obvious basics first.

That is the sensible starting point.

[Totally]

Same here. Cheers.

That is my read on it too. The problem with most advice online is it assumes a clean install which most machines are not.

That is how I would approach it anyway.

Pretty decent summary of it. For me the sign of a good game is when I am still thinking about it when I am not playing it.

Might go back to it.

[Totally]

Yeah that is about right. Good thread this.

[RedKnight]

Same here. Cheers.

Cannot disagree with that. Ask me again in six weeks.

[RedKnight]

Cannot disagree with that. Statistics tell part of the story but they never capture the full picture.

We will know soon enough.

[WhatUQuant]

That matches what the more reliable sources are saying. The difference between what is being reported and what is actually happening is often significant.

Interesting to see where it goes.

[QuantumDay]

Spot on. Good thread this.

[JayJ]

That is the approach I always take now. Measure twice and all that, but also factor in that it always takes longer than you think.

Worth doing it properly rather than rushing it.

[JustMartin]

That is worth it, agreed. Cheers for sharing that.

[Kieran88]

I would be cautious about taking the early reports at face value on this one. Interesting to see where it goes.

[EntangledOne]

That is exactly the lesson I learned. Buy slightly more materials than you need, you will always use them.

Worth doing it properly rather than rushing it.

[Plateau65]

Been reading the same thing from a few different angles. The incentive structures in media mean certain angles get more coverage than they deserve.

That is my read on it anyway.

[DecentBloke]

That is worth it, agreed. Cheers for sharing that.

Yeah I can see that now. I came in thinking it was simpler than it is and now I am not sure of anything.

That is genuinely useful.

[Outlaw]

Agree completely, preparation is everything. Take your time with it and it will come out well.

[HitmanMatt53]

That is the nuanced version of it. Worth a longer look.

[Eastern Aaron]

Hmm, I found different. Useful to know.
