Not just tend to, have to. Matter certification requires flash encryption and FW signing.

I don't know, I'm Parska-Hye and came here when I was 9. I got 43% German, 23% English, 22% Hindu.
3nwf248··on Solar Car Will Soon Hit Production
A 1 square meter solar panel generates 200W (when aimed perfectly at the sun). Since the car's top is a flat surface (as opposed to tilted towards the sun), that's cos(30) * 200W, or 173W. A typical compact car (Honda Civic) has a surface area of about 8 square meters if it were a perfect rectangle.

That's 8 * 173 = 1.384 kW, or 1.86 horsepower under wildly optimistic circumstances.

I call bullshit.
