  • Europe is ready to ditch US tech for private alternatives

    Jump

  • yes, german has a very weird way of writing numbers, where . is replaced by , and , is replaced by .

    So, in US numbers, that would be EUR 274,091,361.75

    It has confused many people already. It should be made more consistent internationally. I propose all use the US format of 274,091,361.75 because that's already used in programming and so it's widespread.

  • To give a bit of technical details, the hardware must have a feature to destroy encryption keys for user data whenever a new OS is installed on it; and you have to be able to install a new OS on it at all.

    Like, today, many smartphones have the problem that you can't install a new OS on them at all, because the bootloader doesn't allow it. Meanwhile PCs have a different problem, where they do allow installing new OS, but the user data is typically not encrypted and so you can just boot linux from a USB device and read all contents on the internal disk.

    The best solution might be to encrypt all userdata, store the keys in the bootloader on the device, but when a new OS is loaded/installed, the bootloader doesn't give out the keys so the userdata can't be decrypted.

  • A drone can lift itself only through the power of a solar panel

    Jump

  • plus it can lift off all by itself. so if it wants to go on a multi-day journey, it doesn't have to ask a passer-by to lift it up and throw it into the air to get it going.

  • you know, we had a way of transporting horses way back in time; it was called "riding". basically the horses have legs and they can walk ... (/s)

    Jump

  • :o yeah indeed

  • A drone can lift itself only through the power of a solar panel

    Jump

  • because people seem to think that you need to have big areas to generate meaningful amounts of energy. this proves that's not the case.

  • A drone can lift itself only through the power of a solar panel

    Jump

  • yeah it's really really fragile. they show it in the video, one of the panels broke because a cat stepped on it. obviously not very suited for real-world deployment.

    however i do wonder why they use polycrystalline silicon and not just amorphous silicon? I mean 20% efficiency instead of 8% makes a difference but i did some rough maths and it could still work with amorphous silicon if you use the area on the drone better. But amorphous silicon has the advantage of making a very thin and flexible layer that doesn't break easily. It's essentially more like a flexible piece of cloth instead of a solid object. Maybe worth a consideration.

    Jump

  • the thing is that the amount of power on that little patch of area is actually a lot; we just continue to underestimate it because it doesn't feel like much. i mean, we stand under direct sunlight all day long and never feel like a train hits us. however, the amount of energy in the sunlight is quite a lot, we're just very good at ignoring it.

  • Food firms urge Europe not to ban calling non-meat products ‘sausages’

    Jump

  • The problem with being more permissive with naming is that the realistic outcome is simply gonna be that companies take the chance to deliver cheaper quality at the expense of the consumer.

    Like, if the requirement that milk actually has to be cow milk is loosened, what's stopping the companies from just mixing the cow milk with water and selling that as "milk"?
