60Vhipx7b4JL··on Linux on the Fujitsu Lifebook U729
Maybe what you are noticing is the "laptop on lap" detection? Check the bios, there was a "cool when on lap detected" mode on mine. Turn that off and re-test.

No, energy density is way below Lixx chemistry. Not suitable.

Those are grid tie inverters, they cannot/will not output if no grid is present.
60Vhipx7b4JL··on To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in hell
E.g. the emergency braking is mandatory for new cars; https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20190410IP...

Could this mean you could get problems as this car does not conform to the standard?

It also does not conform to the reference cars which were used to acquire the type approval.

Meanwhile in Switzerland: here is 25gbit symmetrical for like 75 USD a month
60Vhipx7b4JL··on Toyota Will Adopt Tesla-Style Cast Bodies That Might Be Impossible to Fix
The castings and frame are incredibly strong. Or in other words; when those are damaged, the rest of the car is likely beyond economical repair. Even without insurance. Tear it appart for parts.
60Vhipx7b4JL··on Why Tesla removed radar and ultrasonic sensors [video]
From an engineering perspective I would ask: Can your sensor package understand the environment to the required (low) failure rate?

Radar/Lidar/Ultrasonic is going to give you information that your camera systems will not give you. It does not matter if the delta of information is little. If this little is required because you can't obtain it otherwise, you still need it.

If you just rely on the fleet, you rely on the things you have seen. What about the objects that you have not yet seen?

60Vhipx7b4JL··on Maigret: Collect a dossier on a person by username from thousands of sites
It makes a difference if you make it available to the average joe with limited technical understanding or not.

You can't change the NSA, but you can resuce the amount of abuse.

It's the same with guns, USA vs Europe for example.

60Vhipx7b4JL··on EV adoption in US is happening faster than predicted
Just take a look at countries where they have a working bike infrastructure like Denmark or the Netherlands and adapt it your your country. (Also, separated bike lanes)
60Vhipx7b4JL··on The optimal amount of fraud is non-zero
The article seems to imply that there is a standard revenue/fraud curve.

But what if there isn't such a static condition and you could jump to a less fraud (higher revenue) situation with different technical measures? So changing the revenue/fraud curve.

Like: 2fa (like an app confirmation) based on heuristics?

Yes, the fundamental statement is the same, but you changed the existing "rules"

60Vhipx7b4JL··on Why your next home computer should be an old Xeon workstation (2019)
A Dell T110-II with a quad core xeon and 4x4GB RAM and and a 3.5" HDD idles around 21W. It really depends on the systems.
60Vhipx7b4JL··on Bunny fonts – privacy respecting drop-in replacement for Google Fonts
No info how to host this myself? I thought the top goal was to host the crap yourself so you don't have to load from google.
60Vhipx7b4JL··on MikroTik RouterOS v7 stable released
how about openwrt/openwisp?
60Vhipx7b4JL··on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W die shots
after some time it's fairly easy. E.g. if you know it has a 4 core cpu, you're just looking for the same area four times.
60Vhipx7b4JL··on Lightweight Cryptography
Every thought about all the things besides personal computers and smartphones?

Embedded applications, energy limited (battery, power harvesting) devices, IoT, other resource constrained devices?

I also doubt that more processing = more security.

60Vhipx7b4JL··on Transmit Radio Signals via Ethernet
It does not increase power. But it couples data instead of static noise into the communication which might be more annoying on the other end.
60Vhipx7b4JL··on Thrust Vectoring at Model Scale
$350 for the controller PCB is a bit high. Is the software even open source or not?
60Vhipx7b4JL··on How to properly manage SSH keys for server access
With a ssh jump box you could also centrally manage access, revoke instantly and don't have to sign users keys repetitively..
60Vhipx7b4JL··on Netgear Firmware Requires Online Registration
I'm an embedded systems student and this makes me sad and angry.

I worked with software update mechanisms and they are an essential part of every IoT product. They are needed to supply the product with security updates and consumers should be trained to allow for automatic updates as maintaining 20 devices is not something your average user will do manually. Or at least to install updates when they come along.

This just fucks the consumer as it includes a massive inconvenience. What's going to happen? They won't install the update as they don't want shit forced down their throat. But the bad taste stays, and instead of installing a risky update on other devices or investing the time researching, the consumers will just keep them at the current software state.

Thanks Netgear for fucking a whole industry.
